NovaRed (NRED) pivots to 'MetalCore' AI-assisted exploration as advisory hires draw scrutiny
WIRED reports that Vancouver junior miner NovaRed, now calling itself NRED Intelligent Mining, has announced a pivot from copper‑gold exploration to 'MetalCore,' an AI‑assisted mineral‑exploration platform, while publicizing advisory appointments including Kristi Noem and claiming Katie Zacharia joined the board — a claim Zacharia and others say never materialized and that a press release was issued without her consent. NRED’s leadership has promoted robotics and AI ambitions as central to the company’s strategy amid questions about the company’s finances and governance.
