Vancouver, BC, Canada, May 15, 2026 – First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL, OTC: FSTTF) (the “Company”) reports that its 83% subsidiary, PyroDelta Energy, is gaining media coverage across multiple industry, investor and mainstream outlets, highlighting growing interest in the company’s breakthrough thermoelectric power‑generation technology.
Over the past two weeks, PyroDelta’s tubular thermoelectric generator and its broader technology platform have been featured in Metal Tech News, AI Invest, International Business Times, and MSN, each publication underscoring the potential impact of PyroDelta’s solid‑state energy systems across sectors ranging from drones to data centers, industrial operations and remote power. These stories follow recent articles in IEEE Spectrum, a top global engineering magazine, and Canada’s Globe & Mail Newspaper.
This expanding visibility has also led to PyroDelta’s first invitation to appear on a drone‑focused technology podcast, where company representatives plan to discuss their participation in the upcoming DARPA competition and the new thermoelectric innovations developed specifically for that challenge.
Growing Industry and Investor Engagement
First Tellurium President & CEO Tyrone Docherty says the recent wave of media attention is translating directly into increased inbound interest.
“Because of this exposure, more and more parties are reaching out to us—either as potential investors or as potential customers,” said Docherty. “The level of engagement we’re seeing confirms that PyroDelta’s technology is resonating across multiple sectors, and that the market is actively looking for the kind of solutions this team is developing.”
Docherty noted a recent enquiry from an AI data center operator, who had watched an interview with Docherty and PyroDelta Head Engineer Michael Abdelmaseh on Investor TV’s YouTube channel.
“They want to explore using PyroDelta’s tubular thermoelectric generator in their facilities,” said Docherty. “While the interest from AI data centers is encouraging and key to our long-term business strategy, our focus for now is on drones and winning the DARPA Lift Challenge. In the meantime, we will remain in discussions with the data center industry and move that side of the business forward as much as possible.”
