Consistent with all Bell AI Fabric projects, the proposed facilities will use closed-loop cooling technology that requires no municipal water. Development would proceed in phases as customer commitments are secured and subject to commercial agreements, permits, approvals, and any relevant environmental assessments.

Blue Moon has previously indicated the Springer mine and mill are expected to be back in production in Q4-2027, and the APT plant is expected to be restarted 2H-2028, which will be potentially the first material tungsten concentrate production in North America and a significant new source of APT for the U.S. market.
9. Radical Ventures announces the largest venture capital fund in Canadian history

Canada has produced some of the world's most significant AI and deep tech companies, including Cohere, Waabi, Xanadu, Veeda and Aspect Biosystems, each backed by Radical Ventures. To keep growing, Canadian champions have consistently had to look outside the country for late-stage capital. The Breakouts Fund gives Radical greater capacity to back leading AI companies globally, including in Canada, while providing Canadian companies with a domestic source of late-stage capital at the scale they require.
