Florida's premier academic health system continues to lead Tampa Bay, earning the region's top ranking every year since the list's inception.

TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tampa General Hospital (TGH) ranks No. 3 in Florida and No. 1 on Florida's West Coast in Newsweek's 2027 America's Best-in-State Hospitals ranking. The recognition also marks the fourth consecutive year Tampa General has been the highest-ranked hospital in the Tampa Bay region, a distinction it has held every year since the ranking began.

Presented by Newsweek in collaboration with Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider, the list recognizes hospitals that stand out within their states for quality of care, reputation and patient experience.

Tampa General has also placed among Florida's top three hospitals every year, underscoring the health system's commitment to delivering exceptional care powered by academic medicine through its partnership with the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine.

"Ranking among Florida's very best hospitals year after year reflects the difference our teams make for patients across the entire state," said John Couris, president and CEO of Florida Health Sciences Center | Tampa General. "From Level I trauma and comprehensive burn care serving 23 counties to one of the leading adult solid organ transplant centers in the nation and a growing network of hospitals and outpatient services spanning Florida, our physicians, nurses and team members bring the power of academic medicine to Floridians wherever they live. This recognition belongs to everyone at TGH, and it strengthens our commitment to raising the bar for healthcare throughout Florida."

The America's Best-in-State Hospitals 2027 ranking was created to identify leading hospitals at the state level, recognizing that proximity and access are crucial when choosing where to receive care. Hospitals from all U.S. states were eligible and included in a nationwide survey. Each was evaluated using four data sources: hospital quality metrics, hospital reputation, patient experience and a Statista Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) implementation survey. The 800 hospitals that scored highest across these criteria were included on the list and ranked within their respective states.

The Best-in-State recognition adds to Tampa General's growing list of national and global distinctions in 2026. The academic health system was named the No. 1 hospital in the Tampa Bay region for the 11th consecutive year in U.S. News & World Report's 2026-2027 Best Hospitals rankings and again led Tampa Bay hospitals on Newsweek's World's Best Hospitals 2026, its eighth straight year on the global list. Earlier this year, it was also the only health system in Tampa honored across all seven specialties in Newsweek's America's Best Hospitals for Specialized Care 2026, and this month it was named among Newsweek's World's Best Smart Hospitals for 2027.

Atlas Power Partners welcomes top-rated Maryland generator dealer to its growing family of companies

NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlas Power Partners announced the addition of Boyland Electric to its growing platform of residential generator and electrical services companies. Boyland Electric is based in Laytonsville, Maryland and serves homeowners and businesses across Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Virginia. Founder Doug Boyland will continue to lead the company as President. Boyland Electric joins Always On Generators and Trademark Electric to become Atlas's third company, and its first in the Mid-Atlantic.

"Boyland immediately stood out for their reputation, efficiency and straightforward style with customers. No whiz-bang sales sizzle, just extremely high-quality work. It really fits what we're building with Atlas. A network of the best companies in our business," said David Fischer, Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Power Partners.

"Atlas is at the beginning of something big, and we're excited to be a part of it," said Doug Boyland, President of Boyland Electric. "We can grow that much faster with their support on hiring, back-office systems, and expansion. What stays the same is our commitment to doing the quality work we've always done."

"Above all, we're proud of the dedication and commitment our employees have shown us," said Carole Boyland, Co-Owner of Boyland Electric. "This means more growth and more opportunity for them: room to advance, more training, and the chance to teach other technicians to do installations our way."

Boyland joins Atlas's two Florida generator companies.

Atlas Power Partners is headquartered in New York City and established its first service locations in Florida through partnerships with Always On Generators in 2025 and Trademark Electric in 2026. Always On Generators is led by Co-Presidents William Hankins and Eric Patterson. It serves businesses and homeowners in Southwest Florida, where hurricane season makes backup power a necessity. Trademark Electric is led by President Chris Shea and serves customers across North Central Florida.

"We look for companies that have built lasting and strong reputations for generator service," said David Fischer, Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Power Partners. "Always On is obsessed with quality. They're great with high-end custom home builders, so if you're a homeowner, you're getting pro-grade quality. Trademark Electric is another incredible partner with extremely high standards. They're just a powerhouse â by far the market leader in their area."

All three Atlas Power Partners companies offer both Generac and Kohler generators. All three offer installation and maintenance services.

"Too much of the backup power industry runs on high-pressure sales and inconsistent installs. We want to prove there's a better way: honest pricing, work done right and service that shows up when the power goes out. Three partners in, I've never been more excited about where Atlas is headed," said Fischer.

About Atlas Power Partners

TORONTO, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- i-80 GOLD CORP. (NYSE:IAUX) (TSX:IAU) ("i-80 Gold" or the "Company") reports its financial and operating results, as well as development highlights, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

"During the third quarter, we continued to advance i-80 Gold's hub-and-spoke mining and processing platform which is expected to improve our cost structure and cash generation, and increase annual production to a target of 150,000 to 200,000 ounces of gold in 2028(1)," said Richard Young, President & Chief Executive Officer. "Granite Creek underground announced maiden mineral reserves, Archimedes underground continued to advance on schedule from a September 2025 construction decision toward planned production mining before year-end 2026, and key milestones and cost to complete the Lone Tree Plant refurbishment continued to track the original engineering schedule and cost estimate. With Mineral Point open pit now prioritized as our next major development project, drilling and technical work are advancing toward a pre-feasibility study to support targeted annual gold equivalent production of 400,000 to 500,000 ounces in the early 2030s.(1) Together, these milestones build the foundation for i-80 Gold to deliver substantial long-term value for our shareholders."

THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

Three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to three months ended September 30, 2025.

Unless otherwise stated, all amounts referred to herein are in U.S. dollars.

Development

- Published a feasibility study for Granite Creek underground declaring initial Mineral Reserves of 2.20 million tonnes grading 7.87 grams per tonne gold containing 556,500 ounces of gold. Measured and Indicated underground Mineral Resources increased by 229% to 3.73 million tonnes grading 7.17 grams per tonne gold containing 859,500 ounces of gold, compared to the 2025 preliminary economic assessment;(2)Inferred Mineral Resources decreased by 38% to 0.89 million tonnes grading 7.06 grams per tonne gold containing 202,800 ounces of gold as the infill program converted a portion of Inferred Mineral Resources into the higher classification categories.(3)

- Granite Creek underground development continued to expand access to high-grade headings, supporting the ongoing production ramp up. The project is expected to be within its full-year production guidance range.

- Archimedes underground advanced on schedule and largely on budget, with main decline development on track and construction of the second ventilation and escape raise underway. Surface and underground infrastructure required to support the start of production mining remains scheduled for completion in early November, ahead of the planned start of production mining by year-end.

- Lone Tree Plant refurbishment advanced on schedule and largely on budget with bulk demolition activities complete and mobilization underway for initial construction activities to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026, as planned. Project capital remains largely on budget with approximately 44% of project capital having been committed and approximately 20% of the contingency having been drawn.

- Completed approximately 36,000 meters of drilling for the quarter bringing the total to approximately 62,000 meters for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Activities primarily focused on technical drilling at Mineral Point open pit and infill drilling at Archimedes underground to enhance resource definition in support of the planned 2027 technical studies, as well as resource definition drilling at Granite Creek underground beyond the area included in the September 2026 feasibility study.(2)

- Permitting remained largely on track across the development portfolio as associated actions continued to advance.

Financial and Operating

- Revenues were $32.7 million, representing 7,744 ounces in gold sold(4) at an average realized gold price(5) of $4,211 per ounce, compared to $32.0 million represented by 9,368 ounces at an average realized gold price(5) of $3,412 per ounce in the prior year period.

- Gold production was marginally lower at 11,685 ounces compared with 12,428 ounces in the prior year period. Consolidated production is expected to be within the lower half of the guidance range.

- Gross profit increased to $5.0 million from $3.1 million in the prior year period due to a higher realized gold price.

- Net loss increased to $48.4 million compared to $41.9 million in the prior year period, due primarily to higher pre-development, evaluation and exploration costs incurred as the Company advances multiple projects within its development plan. The higher costs were related to drilling programs at the Ruby Hill property partially offset by lower revaluation expenses recorded within other expenses. In September 2026, the company issued the Granite Creek Feasibility Study(2) which declared initial mineral reserves. Accordingly, the Company will capitalize qualifying development expenditures at Granite Creek, which were previously expensed as pre-development, evaluation and exploration costs.

- Net loss per share of $0.06 is comparable to the prior year period of $0.05.

- Adjusted net loss was $48.2 million compared to $34.3 million(5) in the prior year period due to higher pre-development, evaluation and exploration expenses.

- Cash used in operating activities increased to $32.5 million compared to $15.2 million in the prior year period as a result of higher pre-development, evaluation and exploration expenses which was partially offset by higher gross profit.

- Cash and cash equivalents were $411.4 million as of September 30, 2026, a decrease of $53.2 million compared to June 30, 2026, primarily due to cash used in operations of $32.5 million and capital expenditures of $15.0 million primarily driven by the start of the Lone Tree Plant refurbishment project.

Sustainability

- Published the Company's 2025 and fourth annual sustainability report and data book which highlights key achievements in community partnerships, environmental stewardship, and governance in 2025, and reports on continued progress in expanding its sustainability strategy.

- Coordinated a roundtable with U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen, Eureka County leaders, and state and regional partners in Eureka, the neighboring community to the Ruby Hill property, which hosts the Archimedes and Mineral Point projects. Discussions focused on coordinated planning and long-term partnerships to address workforce readiness, housing, and infrastructure in anticipation of future project development.

UPDATED DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

i-80 Gold is executing a multi-phase development plan aimed at creating a mid-tier gold producer in Nevada. The near-term focus is on developing two high-grade underground refractory gold projects (Granite Creek and Archimedes), and the refurbishment and commissioning of the Lone Tree Plant, which is expected to serve as a central processing hub for material from all underground projects. Development of the Company's two large, open pit oxide projects (Mineral Point and Granite Creek), as well as its third underground mine (Cove), are expected to follow to support a long-term target of 500,000 to 600,000(1) ounces of annual gold output. Permitting, technical studies, development work and ramp up are actively being advanced across the portfolio of five gold projects.

On October 14, 2026, the Company updated its development plan to better align plant feed and processing capacity, and optimize capital allocation. While the Company's operating and near-term development projects remain on their initial schedule, the sequence of medium-to-long term projects has been updated as follows:

- Establish hub-and-spoke mining and processing platform: Ramp up production at Granite Creek underground, bring Archimedes underground into production, and refurbish and commission the Lone Tree Plant as a centralized processing facility â which remains consistent with previously forecasted plans.

- Prioritize Mineral Point open pit as the next major development project: Add a large-scale open pit heap leach project.

- Advance remaining growth projects: Develop and construct the Granite Creek open pit once the Mineral Point open pit project is in operation with the Cove underground project sequenced later as an important source of future refractory feed to the Lone Tree Plant when future mining rates decline at the first two underground mines.

This revised sequence of development projects provides an opportunity for the Company to prioritize the Mineral Point open pit project, which is the Company's largest and most valuable asset. Currently, the anticipated timing of Mineral Point development has not changed from its March 2025 PEA. The exploration program, early-stage pre-permitting activities, technical studies, metallurgical test work, and engineering are ongoing and continue to improve the Company's understanding of the deposit to support future project planning.

The development plan targets annual gold production of 150,000 to 200,000 ounces beginning in 2028, supported by the Lone Tree Plant processing material from Granite Creek underground and Archimedes underground.(1) Cove underground is expected to sustain this production level by supplying refractory feed to the Lone Tree Plant as production from Granite Creek underground and Archimedes underground declines.

The article examines flood maps, property elevation, insurance requirements, and potential expenses buyers should investigate before making an offer.

VERO BEACH, Fla., Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

- FEMA flood maps identify potential hazards, but lower-risk designations do not eliminate flooding concerns.

- Property elevation, drainage conditions, and previous flooding can reveal risks beyond a flood zone designation.

- Reviewing flood insurance quotes and lender requirements helps buyers estimate ownership costs before purchasing.

What should Florida homebuyers know about flood zones before making an offer?

HelloNation has published an article providing the answer, featuring Alex MacWilliam IV, Real Estate Expert of AMAC | Alex MacWilliam Real Estate in Vero Beach, FL. The article explains why understanding Florida flood zones is important when evaluating property risks and long-term expenses.

What Do FEMA Flood Maps Tell Homebuyers?

The HelloNation article explains that a FEMA flood map identifies areas with different levels of flood risk. High-risk flood zones, including many A and V designations, may involve additional insurance requirements.

Other Florida flood zones, including Zone X, generally indicate lower risk. However, flooding can occur outside designated high-risk areas.

The article emphasizes that a FEMA flood map is only a starting point. Local drainage, nearby waterways, and recent development can influence conditions.

Why Should Buyers Investigate Flooding History and Elevation?

The article encourages Florida homebuyers to review seller disclosures and ask about previous water intrusion, storm damage, and drainage problems.

Property elevation also matters. An elevation certificate, when available, may provide information about a home's height relative to expected flood levels.

Alex MacWilliam IV, Real Estate Expert of Vero Beach, FL, is featured in the article highlighting the importance of evaluating flood risk beyond map designations.

An elevation certificate can offer useful details, although not every property has one.

How Does Flood Insurance Affect Homeownership Costs?

The HelloNation article explains that standard homeowners policies generally exclude damage caused by rising floodwaters.

Separate flood insurance may protect against qualifying building and personal property losses, subject to policy conditions.

Properties in high-risk flood zones may require coverage under certain federally regulated or backed mortgages. Individual lenders may impose additional requirements.

Obtaining flood insurance quotes early helps buyers estimate premiums and evaluate affordability. These expenses can vary based on property characteristics and coverage selections.

The article recommends comparing flood insurance quotes alongside deductibles, maintenance expenses, and other ownership costs.

What Should Buyers Check Before Making an Offer?

The article advises buyers to review flood maps, available property records, and insurance requirements before committing to a purchase.

Florida homebuyers should also consider whether a property's apparent affordability changes after accounting for insurance and potential improvements.

Working with real estate, insurance, and lending professionals can help clarify these considerations.

What Florida Homebuyers Should Know About Flood Zones Before Making an Offer features insights from Alex MacWilliam IV, Real Estate Expert of Vero Beach, FL, in HelloNation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can a Home Outside a High-Risk Flood Zone Still Flood?

According to Alex MacWilliam IV, Real Estate Expert of Vero Beach, FL, lower-risk designations do not eliminate flooding concerns.

What Information Does a Flood Map Provide?

The article explains that FEMA maps identify geographic areas with different levels of flooding exposure.

Is Flood Insurance Always Required in FL?

Based on insights from Alex MacWilliam IV, Real Estate Expert of Vero Beach, FL, requirements depend on the property's designation and financing arrangements.

Why Should Buyers Review Property Elevation?

Elevation information can help buyers understand potential vulnerability and certain insurance considerations.

When Should Buyers Request Insurance Estimates?

The article recommends obtaining estimates before making an offer to better understand possible annual expenses.

Highland Opportunities and Income Fund Announces the Regular Monthly Distribution

DALLAS, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Highland Opportunities and Income Fund (NYSE: HFRO) ("HFRO" or the "Fund") today announced its regular monthly distribution on its common stock of $0.0385 per share. The distribution will be payable on November 30, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business November 23, 2026.

The Fund is a closed-end fund that seeks to provide growth of capital along with income in a registered fund format. The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing directly and indirectly (e.g., through derivatives that are the economic equivalent of direct investments) in the following categories of securities and instruments: (i) investments in securities or other instruments directly or indirectly secured by real estate, including real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), preferred equity, securities convertible into equity securities and mezzanine debt; (ii) other instruments, including, but not limited to, secured and unsecured fixed-rate loans and corporate bonds, distressed securities, mezzanine securities, structured products (including but not limited to mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations and asset-backed securities), convertible and preferred securities, equities (public and private), and futures and options; and (iii) floating rate loans and other securities deemed to be floating rate investments.

The Fund declares and pays distributions monthly.

About the Highland Opportunities and Income Fund

The Highland Opportunities and Income Fund (NYSE: HFRO) is a closed-end fund managed by NexPoint Asset Management, L.P. For more information visit nexpointassetmgmt.com/opportunities-income-fund.

About NexPoint Asset Management, L.P.

NexPoint Asset Management, L.P. is an SEC-registered investment adviser on the NexPoint investment platform. It is the adviser to a suite of registered open-end and close-end funds. For more information visit nexpointassetmgmt.com.

Before investing in the Fund, you should carefully consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. For a copy of a prospectus or summary prospectus, the Fund's most recent annual report on Form N-CSR, semi-annual report, and other filings which contain this and other information, please visit our website at www.nexpointassetmgmt.com, the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov, or call 1-800-357-9167. Please read these materials carefully before investing.

The distribution may include a return of capital. Please refer to the 19(a)-1 Source of Distribution Notice on the NexPoint Asset Management website for Section 19 notices that provide estimated amounts and sources of the Fund's distributions, which should not be relied upon for tax reporting purposes.

No assurance can be given that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the Fund's shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the Fund. Therefore, the Fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Closed-End Fund Risk. The Fund is a closed-end investment company designed primarily for long-term investors and not as a trading vehicle. No assurance can be given that a shareholder will be able to sell his or her shares on the NYSE when he or she chooses to do so, and no assurance can be given as to the price at which any such sale may be affected.

Credit Risk. The Fund may invest all or substantially all of its assets in Senior Loans or other securities that are rated below investment grade and unrated Senior Loans deemed by NexPoint to be of comparable quality. Securities rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as "high yield securities" or "junk securities." They are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuing company's continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. Non-payment of scheduled interest and/or principal would result in a reduction of income to the Fund, a reduction in the value of the Senior Loan experiencing non-payment and a potential decrease in the NAV of the Fund. Investments in high yield Senior Loans and other securities may result in greater NAV fluctuation than if the Fund did not make such investments.

Real Estate Industry Risk: Issuers principally engaged in real estate industry, including real estate investment trusts, may be subject to risks similar to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including: (i) changes in general economic and market conditions; (ii) changes in the value of real estate properties; (iii) risks related to local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition; (iv) increases in property taxes and operating expenses; (v) changes in zoning laws; (vi) casualty and condemnation losses; (vii) variations in rental income, neighborhood values or the appeal of property to tenants; (viii) the availability of financing and (ix) changes in interest rates and leverage.

Illiquidity of Investments Risk. The investments made by the Fund may be illiquid, and consequently the Fund may not be able to sell such investments at prices that reflect the Investment Adviser's assessment of their value or the amount originally paid for such investments by the Fund.

Ongoing Monitoring Risk. On behalf of the several Lenders, the Agent generally will be required to administer and manage the Senior Loans and, with respect to collateralized Senior Loans, to service or monitor the collateral. Financial difficulties of Agents can pose a risk to the Fund.
