KOOYF: A Fully Funded Silver Story in a Red-Hot…
A message from our partners at Huge Alerts
With Silver Breaking Above $89 and Capital Rotating Hard into Hard Assets, Kootenay Silver Advances a High-Grade Mexican Discovery with District-Scale Potential.
Silver’s breakout above $89 marks a decisive shift in market sentiment, signaling that the long-anticipated silver bull market is no longer theoretical. Investors are responding to rising geopolitical risk, concerns around monetary policy, and a structural supply-demand imbalance driven by relentless industrial consumption.
Silver is no longer just a precious metal — it is a strategic industrial input — and as demand accelerates, high-grade silver projects in proven jurisdictions are becoming increasingly valuable. When silver moves into this kind of sustained uptrend, companies capable of rapidly expanding quality ounces tend to attract disproportionate attention.
The combination of scale, funding, and timing makes Kootenay Silver (OTCQX: KOOYF | TSXV: KTN) a company worth researching now.
That dynamic is exactly why Kootenay Silver (OTCQX: KOOYF | TSXV: KTN) is re-emerging as a standout story.
Its 100%-owned Columba Project in Chihuahua, Mexico, once overlooked for decades, is now revealing large, thick, well-preserved vein systems comparable in scale to other Mexican districts that ultimately hosted 100–300 million ounces of silver.
After more than 50,000 meters of drilling, Kootenay delivered a 54.1-million-ounce maiden resource grading 284 g/t silver, with ongoing drilling confirming the system is growing deeper and wider.
Backed by a fully funded $20 million treasury, continuous drilling, and a PEA anticipated within the next year, Kootenay is methodically advancing Columba toward the scale that tends to trigger meaningful re-ratings in a rising silver market.

Inside D-Wave’s Major Acquisition—What Changes for Investors
Reported by Nathan Reiff. Article Published: 1/12/2026.
Summary
- D-Wave has put its $836 million in cash reserves to good use, announcing in early 2026 that it would purchase rival Quantum Circuits for $550 million in cash and stock.
- The purchase comes after months of investor speculation that D-Wave would go on a buying spree.
- Acquiring Quantum Circuits should help D-Wave to close the technology gap on its gate-model-focused rivals, but commercial viability remains distant.
Popular quantum computing company D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) took another step toward cementing its status as a field leader when it announced in early 2026 that it plans to acquire privately held rival Quantum Circuits Inc. in a deal valued at $550 million. The move is D-Wave’s first major acquisition since it reported well over $800 million in cash reserves in its second-quarter 2025 earnings, prompting speculation among investors that the company was preparing to go on a buying spree.
D-Wave has been expanding beyond its roots in quantum annealing—an approach highly effective for optimization problems but less suited to many other applications. The agreement to acquire Quantum Circuits is the clearest signal yet that D-Wave is pushing into the more common gate-model approach, which could broaden the types of use cases its quantum systems can address.
Why Quantum Circuits?

A widely followed Wall Street analyst is highlighting AES Corp (AES) as a stock to watch right now, based on signals from his proprietary Power Gauge system. The model tracks factors like momentum, financial strength, and institutional activity across thousands of U.S. stocks.
He breaks down the full reasoning in a short briefing, including why AES is showing unusual strength at this stage of the market.See the full analysis here
With nearly a billion dollars in cash late in 2025, D-Wave likely had a range of acquisition targets to consider. Quantum Circuits stands out because of its decade-plus work on gate-model quantum computing systems.
D-Wave has trailed rivals such as Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) in developing gate-model technology.
By acquiring Quantum Circuits, D-Wave can close that gap and combine gate-model technology with its existing annealing systems, the latter of which are already commercially available.
Quantum Circuits is known for dual-rail technology that includes built-in error detection.
That design enables higher-quality qubits while reducing the physical resources required in manufacturing. D-Wave expects to launch a dual-rail system commercially sometime in 2026.
Financial Impacts on D-Wave
The Quantum Circuits acquisition could help D-Wave leapfrog the quantum competition by adding industry-leading gate-model systems to its annealing-based lineup, which may justify the $550 million purchase price—$300 million in common stock and $250 million in cash.
D-Wave ended the third quarter of 2025 with $836 million in cash and equivalents, up significantly year-over-year and slightly higher sequentially.
Maintaining a strong cash buffer will be essential, given the company’s limited revenue to date. D-Wave reported just $3.7 million in revenue for the third quarter—doubling year-over-year but still small compared with many rivals—while quarterly net losses were nearly $141 million.
Is It Time to Buy D-Wave?
Shares briefly rose to about $32 following the Jan. 7 announcement but gave up those gains by the end of the week, suggesting investors remain cautious.
When the acquisition closes (expected in January 2026), D-Wave will gain access to powerful technology, but it will not immediately introduce new products or achieve broad commercial viability for either gate-model or annealing systems.
In that sense, the acquisition is the latest in a string of promising developments in the past year that have yet to materially boost the company’s revenue or narrow its losses.
Many analysts still expect widespread commercialization of quantum technology to be years away. D-Wave may have an advantage in that race, but investors will need to wait until any company demonstrates clear, broad-market utility.
For this reason, analyst optimism surrounding QBTS shares—and Wall Street’s projection that the stock could rise roughly 20% to nearly $34 per share—comes with the caveat that D-Wave remains a speculative investment. Some investors may increasingly view the company as a leading choice among quantum firms, but significant risks remain until quantum technology becomes widely useful to a broader set of customers.
