(EMAUF:OTCQB; AUOZ:CSE; 9NH:FRA) delivers high-grade gold intercepts up to 3.1 g/t Au over 35.9m, supporting a multi-million-ounce deposit in Quebec.On June 2, 2026, Emperor Metals Inc. (EMAUF:OTCQB; AUOZ:CSE; 9NH:FRA) reported on <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!AUOZ-3828586/C/AUOZ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the progress of its 2026 exploration campaign at the Duquesne West project</a> located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt in Quebec, Canada. This campaign integrated 15,000 meters of new drilling with 8,000 meters of target resampling of historical cores. <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!AUOZ-3828586/C/AUOZ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Highlights </a>of the report include: <ul> <li>Broad high-grade bulk-tonnage gold intercepts continue to demonstrate the project's ability to rapidly add ounces in support of the company's vision of advancing toward a multi-million-ounce gold deposit in the Main Pit, highlighted by 35.9 meters grading 3.1 g/t Au (gold). These holes are represented by drill holes DQ26-03, 04, and 45.</li> <li>Ongoing drilling continues to expand the deposit footprint eastward, with encouraging mineralized intercepts encountered in holes DQ26-05, 06, 07, and 08.</li> <li>Phase 1 pit infill drilling is targeting near-surface mineralization that could support a staged development approach, potentially accelerate future project development timelines, and enhance overall project economics. This is represented by holes DQ26-11, 12, 13, 17, 33, 34, and 35.</li> </ul> "These results further demonstrate the continued success of Emperor Metal's strategy to systematically expand the footprint of the deposit and increase ounces utilizing our proprietary AI-driven evaluation techniques. The consistency of gold mineralization encountered in every drill hole reinforces our confidence in the scale and continuity of the system, supporting our vision of advancing the project as a significant gold deposit," said Emperor Metals CEO John Florek. "Strong cost discipline and efficient drilling performance have also allowed the company to extend the program beyond the originally planned 15,000 meters, maximizing capital deployed directly into the ground." The released results represent only 16 of the 47 holes drilled so far, only about 20% of the total assays expected by the end of the 2026 exploration season. The company looks forward to releasing further results as they become available, saying, "As we continue to expand the deposit footprint along strike and at depth, we are also enhancing the opportunity within the existing mineralized envelope by demonstrating increased thickness and grade. By systematically targeting the key structural controls of the deposit, we continue to build ounces and unlock additional growth potential across the project." Emperor Metals is a Canadian junior gold exploration and development mining company focused on Quebec's historically proven Southern Abitibi greenstone belt. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Gold Stays Bullish Despite Volatility</h2> Gold remains a safe haven asset but is still vulnerable to fears of inflation and geopolitical uncertainties, as was evidenced by its <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-06-03/gold-silver-fall-oil-jumps-us-iran-strikes-kitco-am-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drop in price</a> after the U.S. and Iran exchanged fire on June 3, 2026. Spot gold hit a low of US$4,451.70 per ounce after oil prices shot up when U.S. military forces disabled an Iranian tanker, and Iran launched missiles at U.S. bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. Still, most investors aren't too worried. Gold surged to a record high earlier in the year, hitting<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/commodities/articles/gold-investors-tough-luck-news-202300207.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> a high of US$5,000 per ounce in January</a>, and many expect the rally to resume once international conflict cools down. In April, <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/research/2026/04/copper-gold-market-outlook-2026-prices-supply-mining-costs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S&P Global wrote</a>, "Gold is expected to remain volatile but structurally supported, with central bank demand and geopolitical risk helping to establish a price floor above recent correction lows." Despite the volatility of gold, the sector as a whole is only showing signs of improvement. On May 7, 2026, <a href="https://www.recyclingtoday.com/news/world-bank-base-precious-metals-price-increases-2026-forecast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brian Taylor of Recycling Today said</a> that the World Bank Group has predicted that overall global metals prices will rise by 17% in 2026, which would mark the first overall market increase since 2022. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Holds Long Position on "Strong Buy" Stock</h2> On June 2, 2026, <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/newsletters/cabral-gold-tiger-gold-emperor-metals-scorpio-gold/#em" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeff Valks, senior analyst at The Gold Advisor</a>, commented on the results: "The useful part is where the hole sits. DQ26-45 was drilled about 75–80 meters down-dip of Kinross Gold Corp.'s (K:TSX; KGC:NYSE) 2002 hole DQ02-10, which hit 4.9 g/t gold over 13.4 meters. Emperor’s new hole returned roughly three times the mineralized thickness. That helps the company argue this is not a lonely high-grade pocket. It is finding thicker mineralization where the plan says the system should keep going." [OWNERSHIP_CHART-10987] With an inferred 1.46 million ounces of gold and an average grade of 1.69 g/t Au, Valks gave the company a "Strong Buy" rating and noted that he holds a long position on the stock. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Adding Another Property to the Portfolio</h2> Emperor Metals is also focused on <a href="https://www.emperormetals.com/_resources/Emperor%20April%20Corporate%20Presentation%20-%202026.pdf?v=042808" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the pending purchase of the Lac Pelletier property</a> in the same area, citing historical results of 50 oz Au recovered @ 4.35 g/t Au in 2010 and existing infrastructure as a promising opportunity. The company is calling the acquisition a "pre-production story." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership & Share Structure1</h2> Emperor Metals Inc. has a market cap of CA$39.95 million, with 194.85 million shares outstanding.

(SGN:TSX.V) drills wide gold zones at Black Mammoth in Nevada, with results echoing the geology of the nearby 15-million-ounce Round Mountain Mine.Scorpio Gold Corp. (SGN:TSX.V) announced <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!SGN-3828502/C/SGN" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drilling results</a> from two step-out holes of the Phase 2 drill program at its Manhattan District project in Nevada on June 2, 2026. So far, Scorpio Gold has drilled 91 holes in its Phase 2 program at a grand total of 25,838 meters. As of the time of the press release, data have been reported for 73 of these holes, with assays pending for 18 more. <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!SGN-3828502/C/SGN" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Highlights</a> from the assay results include: <ul> <li>Hole 26MN-078 returned:</li> <ul> <li>0.58 g/t gold over 18.04 meters (m) from 311.05 m at Black Mammoth.</li> <li>Mineralization found in hole 26MN-078 is hosted within volcanics of the Manhattan Caldera — similar to the setting at the Round Mountain Gold Mine, where broad zones of gold mineralization occur within volcanic units.</li> </ul> <li>Hole 26MN-088 returned:</li> <ul> <li>0.35 g/t gold over 17.4 m from 185.96 m at Black Mammoth.</li> </ul> <li>Holes 26MN-078 and 26MN-088 follow up on previous Black Mammoth holes that returned:</li> <ul> <li>0.75 g/t gold over 24.69 m from 230.12 m (26MN-053)</li> <li>1.02 g/t gold over 40.23 m from 195.68 m (26MN-057)</li> <li>0.62 g/t gold over 62.21 m from 230.43 m (26MN-069)</li> <li>0.91 g/t gold over 15.79 m from 368.65 m (26MN-072).</li> </ul> </ul> VP of Exploration at Scorpio Gold, Harrison Pokrandt, said in the release: "We continue to intersect gold mineralization within the volcanic tuffs of the Oligocene Round Rock Formation — the caldera-fill volcanics — at Black Mammoth. Multiple holes drilled at Black Mammoth have now returned mineralization in these volcanic units, and the intercepts are wide, consistent, and remain open. This is similar to the geological setting at Round Mountain, where broad, disseminated gold mineralization is hosted within the caldera-fill volcanics and has supported decades of open pit mining." Pokrandt went on to say: "At Black Mammoth, we are now drilling into the northern end of the current defined deposit where the caldera margin — the contact between the Ordovician sediments and the Oligocene volcanic package — becomes an increasingly dominant feature. Critically, this zone had never been tested with modern drilling prior to our program, making these results all the more significant. The repeatability of mineralization within the volcanic tuffs across multiple holes gives us confidence that this has the potential to not just be a narrow vein system. If the analogy to Round Mountain holds, the potential for wide, bulk-tonnage zones within the caldera volcanics at the north end of the Manhattan District is a genuinely compelling exploration target that we have only begun to test. Alongside our continued success at Zanzibar, we believe Black Mammoth is emerging as a second major growth front capable of adding meaningful ounces to the Manhattan District." The Manhattan District is a historical producer located along the Walker Lane Trend in Nevada and just south of the Round Mountain Gold Mine, which is currently in operation and has produced more than 15 million ounces of gold in its lifetime. Manhattan holds several past-producing mines, which Scorpio Gold has consolidated under one entity that holds permitting and water rights for them all. <a href="https://scorpiogold.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scorpio Gold</a> is a Canadian mining company that holds a 100% interest in the Manhattan District located in the Walker Lane Trend of Nevada, U.S. Scorpio Gold's Manhattan District is ~4,780 hectares and comprises the advanced exploration-stage Goldwedge Mine, with a 400 ton per day maximum capacity gravity mill, and four past-producing pits that were acquired from Kinross Gold Corp. (K:TSX; KGC:NYSE) in 2021. <h2 style="text-align: center;">War Manipulates Gold Prices</h2> Gold remains a safe haven asset but is still vulnerable to fears of inflation and geopolitical uncertainties, as was evidenced by its <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-06-03/gold-silver-fall-oil-jumps-us-iran-strikes-kitco-am-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drop in price</a> after the U.S. and Iran exchanged fire on June 3, 2026.

Valks argued that location and geology were the homeruns of these assay results rather than mineral grades, saying, "That gives Black Mammoth a different flavor from the higher-grade, narrower hits Scorpio has been reporting at Zanzibar and Goldwedge." [OWNERSHIP_CHART-3564] The stock received a "Buy" rating from Valks, who holds a long position with no plans to sell. <h2 style="text-align: center;">A 2026 Packed with Catalysts</h2> <a href="https://scorpiogold.com/investors/#pres" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scorpio Gold's investor presentation</a> outlines the company's 2026 plans. The company will spend Q2 2026 continuing resource expansion drilling, with a goal of 50,000 meters this year. Key areas of interest include the Keystone Jumbo, Black Mammoth, Hooligan, and April Fool targets. In Q3 2026, Scorpio Gold plans to complete a modern metallurgical program with a draft process and flow sheet. Finally, in Q4, the company will evaluate historical estimates through drilling and technical work. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership & Share Information1</h2> Scorpio Gold Corp. has a market cap of CA$102.91 million, with 302.66 million shares outstanding.

(AEM:TSX; AEM:NYSE) is to proceed with the Hope Bay project in Nunavut based on a Preliminary Economic Assessment released last week. The PEA indicates an underground project, producing over 400,000 oz per year for an initial 11-year mine life, starting in 2030, with initial capex of $2.4 billion. Agnico indicated high exploration prospectivity. It acquired Hope Bay in 2021 after successfully building and operating a nearby mine (Meadowbank). What will be Agnico's third mine in the Arctic will help its 20-30% 2030 growth goal. Separately, Agnico increased its interest in Wallbridge Mining to 19.9% to help advance the Fenelon project in Quebec, maintaining its status as the major miner with most interests in junior explorers. These two developments, following two recent acquisitions (of the Ikkari project in Finland and Fox River's phosphate project), clearly demonstrate Agnico's willingness to grow. Independent of these transactions, Agnico is a Buy. It is without doubt our top gold miner. The recent share price declines, from over $250 at the beginning of March, brings its valuation metrics towards long-term lows. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Royal Reduces Mine Equity for Royalty</h2> Royal Gold Inc. (RGLD:NASDAQ) has sold half of its equity interest in the Hod Maden project in Turkey to Turkish miner Lidya Mines, in return for a 2.5% royalty. It also has an option to purchase another 2% royalty from SSR Mining, which concurrently sold its entire equity interest to Lidya. Royal reduces its equity interest in the project to 15%, which would still require it to pay a further $137 million towards capex. The economic impact of the sale is more-or-less neutral, but it aligns Royal's interest more with its royalty business model, reducing its capital obligations, with upside potential (from the option to purchase SSR's royalty). Royal did not comment on any plans for disposal of the remaining 15% interest. Royal is a Buy, particularly for those who do not already own. It is arguably more leveraged to the gold price than other large royalty companies, so the stock price could decline further in gold drops. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Fox Acquisition Moves Forward</h2> Fox River Resources Corp. (FOX:CSE) has obtained an Interim Order from the Ontario Superior Court to proceed with its proposed acquisition by a subsidiary of Agnico, with closing expected in the third quarter. Proxies will be sent to shareholders shortly; we urge you to vote in favor. Hold. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Midland Dilutes With Strategic Shareholders</h2> Midland Exploration Inc. (MD:TSX.V) has completed a $5.3 million private placement, for shares and warrants, adding 11.8 million shares and another 11.8 million warrants, and diluting by just over 20% if the warrants are exercised. There is a strong group of investors participating, including Rick Rule, MJG Capital, Caisse de dépȏt and other Quebec government funds, as well as Centerra Gold, which exercised its rights to maintain it 9.9% interest in the company. Midland has a strong technical team, an extensive property portfolio, several alliances and joint ventures, and a strong balance sheet. We would like to see them limit further dilution. Buy. 100 PERCENT CLUB With Fox River Resources Corp. (FOX:CSE) having more than doubled since we originally purchased it, 19 of 21 of our current positions are in the "100 Percent Club"; our recent sale of Gladstone Investment was also a member. Only Kingsmen Creative and Midland Exploration have yet to be admitted. TOP BUYS this week, in addition to above, include Franco-Nevada Corp. (FNV:TSX; FNV:NYSE), OR Royalties (OR:TSX; OR:NYSE), Lara Exploration Ltd. (LRA:TSX.V), Fortuna Mining Corp. (FSM:NYSE; FVI:TSX; FVI:BVL; F4S:FSE), Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. (MTA:TSX.V; MTA:NYSE American), and Orogen Royalties Inc. (OGN:TSXV; OGNNF:OTC). Notwithstanding the possibility of a further correction in the gold price, which would hit the gold stocks, we see this as a very good opportunity for those underinvested in the space, or missing some top names, to buy.

(EONE:CSE) visits Twin Sisters olivine quarry in Washington, targeting domestic magnesium supply for technology innovation.<a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/pub/co/11547?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Element One Hydrogen & Critical Minerals Corp. (EONE:CSE)</a> CEO Brad Kitchen and COO Tim Johnson completed a recent site visit to the Twin Sisters olivine quarry in Whatcom County, Washington State, according to a June 1, 2026, <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!EONE-3827593/C/EONE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a>. The visit came after the company's Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Twin Sisters Olivine Ltd to secure a long-term olivine supply and a proposed plant site in Washington to support Element One's hydrogen and critical minerals development in the U.S. Element One collected samples from both the active quarry face and existing stockpiled crushed olivine material to be used for initial process testing and metallurgical evaluation programs. Bureau Veritas laboratories will complete ICP-ES analytical testing to confirm the presence of magnesium, nickel, iron, and other trace elements. The company hopes to position itself a producer of magnesium to the United States, which has no domestic production of the mineral. The partnership with Twin Sisters will allow Element One to purchase 50,000 tonnes of olivine feedstock per year, which is expandable to 100,000 tonnes. This number is significant because olivine typically contains 25-30% magnesium, or 550-660 lbs per tonne. U.S. import prices of magnesium ranged between US$3.00 and US$3.25 in 2024, the the gross in-situ value of magnesium is US$1,640 to US$2,145. Kitchen commented: "The scale and quality of the Twin Sisters olivine operation further reinforces our belief that this project has the potential to become an important domestic source of critical mineral feedstock. The United States continues to seek secure and reliable domestic supply chains for magnesium, nickel, and other strategic materials, and Twin Sisters represents a unique industrial mineral platform with existing operational capacity." A Canadian company, Element One aims to explore, develop, and commercialize natural hydrogen as a clean energy source. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Company Approaching Crucial Markets</h2> Most people know of magnesium as a critical component to health, but its industrial uses are as lightweight structural alloys and as desulfurizing agents in steel production. In February 2026, a <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/magnesium-metal-market-expected-hit-040000357.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yahoo Finance</a> article claimed that the metal market was valued at US$5.6 billion in 2025 and expected to grow to US$8.67 billion by 2033. This growth is largely predicted to be driven by the automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries, in which weight-to-strength ratios are becoming increasingly important. No less important is Element One's focus on hydrogen. As a clean energy alternative, natural hydrogen could have the potential to replace or supplement oil and gas. In a conversation with Element One CEO Brad Kitchen on April 14, 2026, Kitchen told Streetwise Reports that natural hydrogen could be produced using their proprietary process for a fraction of the cost of oil and gas. When given the example of US$4.20 per gallon of gas, Kitchen asserted that the same amount of energy could potentially be produced through natural hydrogen for less than US$1. If the product can be gathered and processed on location, which Kitchen seems optimistic about, independent energy could be generated to run mines in remote places or provide rural communities with energy at a much lower cost. Due to the abundance of ultramafic rocks, which Kitchen said make up about 7% of the Earth, and the carbon friendly nature of getting natural hydrogen, Kitchen said, "There comes a point where it would make more sense to run the world on hydrogen than on oil and gas," before going on to say, "We're really the leading edge in this technology, and the big thing is it's not some brand-new discovery. It's simply creating natural hydrogen in real time." In June of 2025, reports were already coming out about the potential future of natural hydrogen. <a href="https://royalsociety.org/news/2025/06/natural-hydrogen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Royal Society quoted Professor Barbara Sherwood Lollar CC, FRS, as saying</a>, "Hydrogen is already a US$135 billion industry and is a key component in critical industries such as fertilizer production. As the world searches for cleaner energy options, natural hydrogen could also offer a low-cost, low-carbon addition to our toolkit." Emerging technologies are making hydrogen a viable fuel for cars, planes, ships, and factories. Hydrogen demand around the world is projected to grow from around 90 million metric tons in 2022 to more than 500 million metric tons by 2050," <a href="https://fuelcellsworks.com/2026/02/26/education/how-natural-hydrogen-hiding-deep-in-the-earth-could-serve-as-a-new-energy-source" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said Fuel Cells Works</a>. The article went on to say, "The U.S. Geological Survey estimates there could be more than 5 trillion metric tons of geological hydrogen underground around the world. But only a small fraction of that is estimated to be recoverable, both technically and in terms of reasonable costs. However, even 2% of that total would be more than all proven natural gas reserves on the planet and enough to meet projected demand for the next 200 years, even accounting for increased consumption. In terms of price, Fuel Cells Works argued that the cost could be well worth the rewards: "Because geological processes already performed the production work, early estimates suggest that extraction costs could be one‑tenth the production costs for other traditional hydrogen generation techniques — or possibly even less than that." The scope for hydrogen uses and demands has the potential to expand into both commercial and private consumer industries. "At present, hydrogen demand is mostly from large industrial facilities like petroleum refineries and ammonia plants. Decarbonization efforts could create hydrogen demand from other large industrial buyers but also from smaller, local hydrogen-offtake ventures like vehicle fueling hubs," <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0360319925026655?via%3Dihub" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asserted a scientific research paper by Arnout JW.

Revenue totaled US$41.8 million, generating US$15.3 million in income from mining operations. West Red Lake Gold also reported adjusted net earnings of US$6.4 million, or US$0.02 per basic share, EBITDA of US$3.3 million, and adjusted EBITDA of US$14.4 million. Cash cost per gold ounce sold was reported at US$2,594, while all-in sustaining cost per gold ounce sold was US$4,678. The company ended the quarter with approximately US$35.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. <a href="https://westredlakegold.com/west-red-lake-gold-reports-q1-2026-financial-results-and-operations-summary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shane Williams, President and CEO, stated in the company news release</a>, "This first quarter represents the initial phase of our post-commercial production ramp-up at Madsen, and I am proud of the focus, operational discipline, and strong safety culture demonstrated by our teams during this important transition period." Williams added, "Revenue for Q1 2026 was generated from the sale of 6,165 ounces of gold at an average realized gold price of US$4,938 per ounce, generating approximately US$41.8 million in revenue and US$15.3 million in income from mine operations. The company also generated positive EBITDA and began debt repayments during the quarter while exiting Q1 2026 with approximately US$35.9 million in cash." According to the company, financial results during the quarter reflected the early-stage nature of the ramp-up phase, including the allocation of fixed operating costs across lower ounces produced and continued investment in underground development and infrastructure related to post-commercial production ramp-up activities. Mining activities during the quarter were primarily focused on sill development within the South Austin area and the 4447 mining complex, while development and infrastructure activities continued across the operation. The company stated that access to the 4447 mining complex was re-sequenced from mid-Q1 2026 into the second quarter of 2026 as part of an operational prioritization focused on long-term mine flexibility and development advancement. West Red Lake Gold stated that development continued toward additional mining areas, including Austin 904, Fork, and the eastern connection drift toward the Derlak complex. The company also stated that Phase 1 of the shaft refurbishment program remained on track for the second half of 2026. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Gold's Pause, Miners' Momentum and the Next Phase of the Bull Market</h2> <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-05-27/gold-will-top-5500-2027-could-reach-10000-2030-silvers-upside-will-narrow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reuters reported on May 25 that gold prices rose more than 1% as lower oil prices and a weaker U.S. dollar supported bullion markets following optimism surrounding possible Middle East peace negotiations</a>. Spot gold rose 1.5% to US$4,574.17 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures for June delivery gained 1.2% to US$4,576.00. Reuters also reported that equities rallied while oil prices fell below US$100 a barrel and reached two-week lows. UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo told Reuters that "Financial assets are strongly influenced by oil prices at present, and gold prices are not an exception." Staunovo also stated that "Lower oil prices lift gold, in anticipation that it impacts the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve," adding that he expected the trend to continue in the near term. According to the Reuters report, gold had fallen about 14% since late February amid elevated energy prices, inflation concerns, and expectations for higher U.S. interest rates. Reuters also noted that traders were pricing in a 40% chance of a 25-basis-point Federal Reserve rate increase in December. <a href="http://www.321gold.com/editorials/thomson_s/thomson_s_052626.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stewart Thomson wrote on May 26 that gold had entered what he described as a pause phase following earlier gains against fiat currencies.</a> Thomson stated that "many more beatings on fiat by the world's currency queen lie ahead, but a lull in the action is the current theme and… It's healthy." He also wrote that "it's critical for gold bugs to stay focused on the big picture, and to understand that gold is not a 'hottie stock'." Thomson stated that leveraged futures traders remained concerned about the impact of geopolitical conflicts and oil prices on inflation and interest rates, writing that "gold futures traders believe the Iran war will cause sustained inflation and higher rates." He also noted that investor sentiment remained subdued, stating that "periods where morale is subdued coincide with the BPGDM trading under 50." <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/off-the-wire/2026-05-25/gold-climbs-middle-east-peace-hopes-push-oil-and-dollar-lower" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a May 27 report from Kitco News, Doug Moglia, macro and market strategist at Rockefeller Global Investment Management, stated that precious metals had led the broader commodity rally.</a> Moglia said, "Precious metals have been the leader, with gold up 92% and silver more than doubling (+152%) since the start of 2025." Moglia stated that central bank activity continued to play a significant role in the gold market, noting that "the result was three straight years of over 1,000 tonnes of gold purchased by global central banks between 2022-2024, representing roughly 20-25% of annual global mine production." He added that gold's price behavior had become "noticeably less sensitive to its traditional cyclical drivers." The Kitco report stated that Moglia viewed gold as remaining in a longer-term secular bull market. Moglia said, "We believe gold entered its third secular bull market in 2022," adding that "gold remains a secular anchor to portfolios." Moglia also discussed mining equities, stating that "gold and silver miners offer leveraged upside with improved carry." He further stated that operating margins for the gold and silver miner index were "near 40%, the highest level since 2011," while major miners were expected to generate approximately US$20 billion in free cash flow during 2025. <h2 style="text-align: center;">From Infill Drilling to Ramp-Up: Development Priorities Across Ontario's Gold Sector</h2> In a January 13, 2026 research note, Red Cloud Securities gave West Red Lake Gold a CA$2.30 price target and maintained a Buy recommendation. On May 13, Chen Lin wrote that shares "suffered dearly after the guidance for 2026," adding that he had spoken with "quite a few people very familiar with WRLG operation." Lin stated that "the current mining operation is quite difficult as many good areas were mined out," and wrote that the company would need "to build a decline to mine at a fresh new area, which will likely take a year or so." He added, "That's the wait for this mine to 'turn around'. Investors need to be patient." <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/paydirt-prospector/newsletters/strong-updates-from-6-stocks-as-volatility-creates-opportunity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a March 26 report, Jeff Clark and Daniel Flynn discussed ongoing infill drilling activities at the Fork deposit,</a> writing that the program was intended to support a future development decision. The report stated that "the latest drilling is aimed at increasing confidence in that resource ahead of a future development decision." Clark and Flynn wrote that recent drilling results, while "narrower and lower grade than some historical intercepts," continued to align with expectations and "still support that broader picture." Reported highlights included "1m @ 41 g/t gold, including 0.5m @ 77.8 g/t gold" and "4.5m @ 5.8 g/t gold." Geologist Sharyn Alexander wrote in the same March 26 report that "the key takeaway is continued de-risking," adding that "the results strengthen confidence in both grade and vein continuity, which are critical for mine planning and extraction." Alexander also stated that "infill success reduces uncertainty and moves Fork closer to a development decision." Clark and Flynn maintained their "BUY" recommendation following the update. <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/paydirt-prospector/newsletters/two-new-picks-hit-the-ground-running-plus-news-from-seven-more-companies/#wr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an April 30 update, Clark and Flynn discussed 2025 results and 2026 production guidance for the Madsen mine in Ontario</a>, noting that the operation "achieved commercial production in January." The report stated that "2026 production guidance of 35,000-45,000oz falls well short of the ~60,000oz the market had been expecting." Clark and Flynn also wrote that "AISC of US$2,800-$3,600/oz sold leaves margins looking thin, even at current gold prices." According to the April 30 report, CEO Shane Williams said during the earnings call that "Madsen is still firmly in ramp-up." Clark and Flynn wrote that the company was "establishing mining fronts, advancing underground development, and improving mill performance to build toward a more scalable production profile in H2 2026." The report also stated that "around 60% of annual output is expected in H2, with Q1 and Q2 deliberately lighter as the ramp-up continues." Clark and Flynn wrote that "the nearby Rowan deposit is central to that plan, with a resource update and a combined Rowan/Madsen PFS in Q3." The report also noted that "WRLG this week reported another strong Rowan hit of 471g/t gold over 1m." Addressing operational costs, the report stated, "In simple terms, more ounces and better infrastructure should bring costs down." Clark and Flynn added that "it is encouraging that management recognizes the current cost profile is too high and has built that into its plan." The April 30 report outlined several stated 2026 priorities, including "Increasing development to access 904, Fork and Derlak," "Advancing resource conversion at the 904 Complex," "Improving mine plan visibility," "Completing Phase 1 shaft refurbishment in H2," and "Continuing exploration at Starratt-Olsen and North Shore." Clark and Flynn wrote that "These results aren't disastrous, but they do change the timeline." The report stated that "The first hurdle of 60,000oz production has been pushed into 2027, and with it, the longer-term goal of reaching 120,000oz per year is now expected to take about four years." The report added, "If you're willing to wait, this remains a Hold," while also noting, "For my part, I'm holding," and stating that "the grades coming from Rowan, Fork and 904 suggest there is still a strong chance that the bigger picture improves over time." In a May 27 company update, Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Matthew O'Keefe wrote that the "Madsen Mine ramp-up continues" following the release of Q1/2026 financial and operating results. The report stated that the operation produced 5,667 ounces of gold and sold 6,165 ounces during the quarter at a cash cost of US$2,594 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs of US$4,678 per ounce. Cantor Fitzgerald stated that an average realized gold price of US$4,938 per ounce generated revenue of $41.9 million and adjusted net earnings of $6.4 million, or $0.02 per basic share. The report also noted that the operation exited Q1/2026 with cash of $35.9 million. According to the May 27 report, the operation's ramp-up was expected to continue through the first half of 2026, with production weighted toward the second half of the year. O'Keefe wrote that "progress continued through April and May across underground development, ore movement and mill throughput, consistent with the planned ramp-up strategy." The report stated that 2026 production guidance of 35,000 to 45,000 ounces of gold remained unchanged, along with cash cost guidance of US$2,400 to US$3,100 per ounce and AISC guidance of US$2,800 to US$3,600 per ounce. Cantor Fitzgerald also wrote that "the high costs in Q1/26 reflect ongoing development intensity and limited mining fronts available," while adding that "underground development to expand mining fronts and improve access to higher-grade areas is ongoing." Discussing the longer-term operational plan, the report stated that ongoing development work was intended "to increase throughput, improve operational flexibility, and drive a more scalable production profile into 2027+." Cantor Fitzgerald maintained its Buy rating and CA$2.20 target price. The report stated, "Incorporating the Q1/26 financial and operating results has no material impact on our model," and added, "We maintain our Buy rating and $2.20/shr target price." The report also stated, "We expect WRLG's valuation multiples to expand as the company establishes and meets its production and cost guidance over the course of 2026 and 2027." <h2 style="text-align: center;">2026 Production and Development Activities</h2> <a href="https://westredlakegold.com/investors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to the company's investor presentation</a>,commercial production at the Madsen Mine was achieved on January 1, 2026, following a ramp-up period that included completion of underground waste rock storage, mobile fleet work, shaft work, and a 2026 detailed mine plan. The company stated that 2026 activities include mining in the 960 area and the high-grade 4447 area, while first-half 2027 plans include the start of mining at the 904 area and Fork deposit. West Red Lake Gold also outlined an updated Pre-Feasibility Study targeted for the second half of 2026. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-5614] Additional 2026 milestones outlined by the company include shaft operations, updated Rowan resource estimates, Rowan consultation work, a potential start of Fork development, and submission of the Rowan permit application. The company stated that it completed approximately 150,000 meters of definition drilling prior to commercial production and continues to operate two definition drills. According to the investor presentation, capital projects completed before restart included a 1.4-kilometer connection drift, a 4-meter tailings dam lift, more than 1,400 meters of underground development, dewatering to Level 17, a new primary crusher, and 23 major pieces of underground equipment. At the Fork deposit, the company stated that a 3,200-meter drill program was completed and that a construction decision is pending. At Rowan, the company stated that a 6,300-meter drill program infilled Veins 006b and 013, extended Vein 001, and fulfilled geotechnical and metallurgical requirements for a Pre-Feasibility Study process. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership and Share Structure1</h2> Institutional investors hold approximately 30% of West Red Lake Gold's shares, with insiders and advisors holding another 10%.

The survey extension is being completed by Dias Airborne Ltd and has been expanded to 2,237 kilometers instead of the originally planned 1,741 meters. <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!GOH-3826265/C/GOH" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Highlights</a> of the announcement include: <ul> <li>Expanded airborne survey increased to approximately 2,237 line-kilometers from the previously announced 1,741 line-kilometer program;</li> <li>Survey designed to support a planned 5,000-meter 2026 diamond drill program targeting the Magno, Kuhn, and D zones;</li> <li>Expanded coverage across prospective CRD (carbonate replacement deposit), tungsten-bearing skarn, and porphyry-style mineralized corridors;</li> <li>High-grade surface sampling includes values up to 2,370 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Ag) and 6,550 parts per million (ppm) tungsten (W);</li> <li>Dias's QMAGT technology was utilized in geophysical targeting work associated with the Hercules Metals Corp.'s (BADEF:OTCMKTS; BIG:TSXV) Leviathan discovery in Idaho.</li> </ul> Dias' helicopter-borne survey utilizes the company's proprietary QMAGT (quantum magnetic gradiometry tensor) technology, a full tensor magnetic gradiometry system designed to enhance the detection and modeling of subsurface geological structures, alteration corridors, intrusive contacts, and potential mineralized feeder systems. The goal of the survey is to define structural controls, intrusive contacts, and alteration pathways associated with silver-lead-zinc mineralization, tungsten-bearing skarn systems, and interpreted porphyry-related mineralized centers along a broad north-south mineralization corridor. The area is associated with carbonate and sedimentary rocks that contact intrusive granite units. Recent surface exploration identified several high-priority target areas, highlighted by sample results including "silver values up to 2,370 g/t Ag, tungsten values up to 6,550 ppm W, and indium values up to 334 ppm." Rob Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven, said in the press release: "This expanded airborne program represents a major advancement in our systematic approach to unlocking the district-scale potential at Magno. Dias' technology was successfully utilized in advancing targeting work associated with the Hercules discovery, and we believe deploying the same next-generation system at Magno significantly strengthens our ability to define and prioritize high-confidence drill targets ahead of our planned 2026 drill campaign focused on the Magno, Kuhn, and D zones." A Canadian junior exploration company, GoldHaven, focuses on mineral projects in both North and South America. The company's flagship asset is the Magno project, but the company also owns the Three Guardsmen copper-gold project in British Columbia and the Copecal gold project in Mato Grosso, Brazil, along with other Brazilian properties. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Two Crucial Metals Going Strong</h2> Silver is considered a safe-haven asset and is often regarded as a sensible investment during times of global uncertainty, as <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/why-are-gold-and-silver-prices-up-today-and-will-precious-metals-continue-to-rise-or-fall-again-gold-rebounds-after-iran-us-ceasefire-extension-talks/articleshow/131376628.cms?from=mdr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Economic Times</a> said on May 28, 2026, writing: "The precious metals markets remain highly sensitive to interest rates, inflation expectations, and geopolitical developments." While some investors have been wary of the metals markets due to the ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Iran, silver prices are holding steady. With its industrial usage, silver is more than a speculative buy. Higher demand from electric cars, solar panels, data centers, and more is shoring up silver's future demand. <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/silver-price-predictions-what-should-investors-expect-over-the-next-decade-130000645.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yahoo Finance</a> quoted experts from both BlackRock and J.P. Morgan as saying, "By the end of 2026, experts predict silver's price will surpass US$80 per ounce, and it could reach US$100 per ounce by 2030." Tungsten is a smaller, more niche metal market, but its performance has rivaled larger markets. "Project Blue estimates its value at about US$16 billion this year — roughly 5% of the copper market at current prices. It is also far more opaque and illiquid, as it does not trade on major exchanges. Even so, its gains over the past year have far outpaced those of commodities such as gold and oil," <a href="https://www.mining.com/web/munitions-metal-tungsten-outshines-gold-copper-in-557-rally/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to an article by Mining.com</a>. As one of the strongest metals in the world, its use in weaponry is critical in a time of war. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Stock Undervalued, Says Expert</h2> <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/05/05/gold-co-working-on-two-company-making-projects.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bob Moriarty of 321gold.com wrote about GoldHaven</a> back in May 2026, saying, "The stock opened the year at CA$0.10 — dirt cheap, as I noted at the time. Within a month, it had climbed to CA$0.39, a 290% move in four weeks. That's the kind of thing deeply undervalued stocks tend to do." [OWNERSHIP_CHART-10501] Moriarty continued, "When I first wrote about GoldHaven back in July 2025, the entire company was valued at roughly CA$4 million. That figure now sits around CA$14 million — still modest by any reasonable measure. I'll be watching the Magno drill results closely. The tungsten intercepts already in hand hint at something potentially significant in a metal that has abruptly gone from overlooked to critically scarce." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Follow-Up Drilling Planned in Two Countries</h2> According to the company's <a href="https://goldhaven.sharepoint.com/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx?id=%2FShared%20Documents%2FGold%2DHaven%2D2026%2DMarch%2Epdf&parent=%2FShared%20Documents&p=true&ga=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investor presentation</a>, follow-up drilling and testing are planned for GoldHaven's Copecal project in Brazil after a 2025 exploration program. The company will integrate drilling, geophysics, and geochemistry to refine structural vectors and advance drilling across the 6-kilometer system. Next steps at the Magno project will be planned once the remainder of the project survey is completed. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership & Share Information1</h2> GoldHaven Resources Corp. has a market cap of CA$18.08 million, with 58.31 million shares outstanding.

(ITR:TSX.V; ITRG:NYSEAMERICAN) as a bargain gold producer with strong cash flow and growth across Nevada and Idaho.<img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202662101518_1.png" alt="" width="1000" height="595" /> Gold remains in the range that I highlighted at the start of this correction. We want to see the US$4,400 area hold as support, and on the upside, a close at US$4,800 or higher would be positive, signaling a higher high. Right now, at the bottom of the range, is a buy opportunity. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Top Gold Stocks to Buy Now</h2> Some key things that I look for in a gold stock are location, valuation, and growth. I want to find gold miners in good jurisdictions that are valued lower than peers and have strong growth potential. There are other factors, but these are some key ones, and this stock passes with flying colors! <h2 style="text-align: center;">Integra Resources </h2> Recent Price -CA$3.58 Entry Price CA$1.28 Opinion - Buy Integra Resources Corp. (ITR:TSX.V; ITRG:NYSEAMERICAN) has three projects that are located in Nevada and Idaho. They are producing at their Florida Canyon mine, which is generating strong cash flow, while their next project, the DeLama Project, has a robust feasibility and is proceeding to engineering and the construction phase. Today, Integra announced the appointment of Ausenco Engineering USA South Inc as the lead engineering partner for detailed engineering activities at the company's DeLamar Project in southwestern Idaho. As part of the engagement, Ausenco has retained SLR Consulting ("SLR"), which brings specialized heap leach engineering, metallurgy, and mine planning expertise to the Project. The Feasibility revealed a very robust project with excellent numbers at a US$3,000 gold price, giving a 46% IRR and 1.8 years payback. The capex at US$389 million is modest and something that Integra can easily manage. <img class="float_left" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202662101548_2.png" alt="" width="1000" height="469" /> The DeLamar Project's permitting timeline was posted to the FAST-41 project dashboard on January 13, 2026. The FAST-41 Transparency Project program is a federal permitting framework designed to streamline environmental reviews, improve interagency coordination, and increase transparency. Mining activities at Florida Canyon during the first quarter of 2026 increased significantly, achieving a record mining rate of 76,800 total tonnes per day and positioning the operation to deliver improved operational flexibility and production consistency in future quarters. This increase was driven by the addition of the six Caterpillar 785 haul trucks commissioned during the quarter, completing the expansion of the fleet since 2025 to include eight Caterpillar 785 haul trucks, one Caterpillar 992HL loader, and one Hitachi EX3600 front shovel. With increased haulage capacity and an enhanced mining fleet, the operation is better equipped to manage the historical waste stripping inherited from prior operators. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a cash and cash equivalent balance of US$105.8 million, an increase of US$42.7 million from US$63.1 million at December 31, 2025. In March, Integra announced the launch of a 50,000-meter drill program (the "2026 Drilling Program") across its Nevada and Idaho portfolio, marking the largest gold-focused exploration campaign in the Company's history. There should be lots of drill news. Also, this year, Integra has been included in the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ("GDXJ") exchange-traded fund ("ETF"), effective at the close of markets on March 20, 2026. The DeLamar project in Idaho (a lower-risk jurisdiction with a Governor that is pro-mining, and near infrastructure) and the Nevada North project in Nevada (another lower-risk jurisdiction) to create a multi-asset U.S. producer. The company is well cashed up and will see strong news flow on drill results and with DeLamar progression. And better still, even at these prices above our first entry price, the stock is a bargain with a low valuation. Integra has about 7.1 million ounces measured and indicated across its three projects. At US$2.58, the market cap is just US$521.2 million, and subtracting US$100 million in cash, this values their gold resources at only US$60 per ounce in the ground. I believe this is a very low valuation for a small, growing producer in one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world. These are valuations that we saw with US$1,500 to US$2,000 gold, and as this bull market advances, these deposits will be re-rated towards US$500 per ounce in the ground. <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202662101617_3.png" alt="" width="830" height="543" /> There are no exciting indicators on the chart, other than the fact that it is trading near the bottom of a 9-month range. Could it get cheaper? Yes, and that would just mean an even better bargain. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li><a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/disclaimer/?utm_medium=feed#consulting" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a>Ron Struthers: I, or members of my immediate household or family, own securities of: Integra Resources.

(ZAU:TSX.V; ZAU:XFRA; ZAUIF:OTCQB) adds 35-year mining veteran Brett Richards as Chairman, advancing its district-scale Todi Gold Project in Liberia.Mining executive Brett Richards has chosen to become a nominee for <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/pub/co/10927?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zodiac Gold Inc.'s (ZAU:TSX.V; ZAU:XFRA; ZAUIF:OTCQB)</a> board of directors, according to a <a href="https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/299563" target="_blank" rel="noopener">company press release</a> on June 1, 2026. At Zodiac's annual general meeting later this year, Mr. Richards is expected to be appointed as Chair of the Board, but will participate as an observer with the company until that appointment. Mr. Richards is a highly accomplished mining executive, investor, and entrepreneur with over 35 years of experience in mining company leadership. He is widely respected throughout the global mining industry and brings "an exceptional track record of operational execution, strategic growth, mine development, capital markets leadership, and value creation for shareholders," said the company in the press release. Mr. Richards said: "I am extremely excited about stepping into the role of Chairman of Zodiac Gold at such an important inflection point for the company. What David and the entire team have assembled in Liberia is truly impressive. Zodiac Gold has a highly prospective district-scale land package in one of the most underexplored and geologically compelling regions in West Africa. The exploration success achieved to date strongly supports the potential for multiple significant gold discoveries across the Todi Shear Zone. I believe Zodiac Gold is uniquely positioned to create substantial long-term value for shareholders, and I look forward to working closely with management and the board to help unlock that potential." Currently, Mr. Richards manages Richards Enterprises Inc. in the Bahamas, a single-family company that handles strategic investments in mining, metals, post-consumer goods recycling, and digital asset trading platforms. Before entering the investment world, Mr. Richards held senior executive positions with major companies like Kinross Gold Corp. (K:TSX; KGC:NYSE) and Co-Steel Inc. CEO of Zodiac, David Kol, expressed the company's excitement to have Mr. Richards on the team, saying: "Brett's appointment as Chairman is transformational for Zodiac Gold. He is one of the mining industry's respected executives and has an extraordinary track record of building companies, financing growth, creating shareholder value, and identifying world-class opportunities before the broader market recognizes them. Brett has been a tremendous supporter of Zodiac Gold and strongly believes in the scale and district potential emerging across our land package in Liberia. His leadership, strategic insight, operational expertise, and global network will be invaluable as we accelerate exploration, expand our discoveries, and position Zodiac Gold as one of the most exciting emerging gold stories in Africa." Zodiac Gold Inc. is a West-African gold exploration company focused on the Todi Gold Project in Liberia. The company asserts that Liberia is a politically stable, mining-friendly country with an expedited permitting process and strong political and social support for mining companies. <h2 style="text-align: center;">War Uncertainties Play Metals Market</h2> The continuing war between the U.S. and Iran has been creating havoc in commodities markets for months.

(CAPR:NASDAQ) announced<a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/U-z9718754-U!CAPR-20260512/U/CAPR" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> financial results for Q1 2026 and provided significant corporate updates</a>. Capricor is a pre-commercial biotech company focused on developing "transformative cell and exosome-based therapeutics for the treatment of rare diseases. Specifically, the company is currently developing Dermiocel (CAP-1002), a drug intended to treat Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). DMD is a severe, X-linked genetic disorder characterized by worsening muscle degeneration that affects the skeletal, respiratory, and cardiac muscles. According to the company, "It is caused by the absence of functional dystrophin, a key structural protein in muscle cells. DMD affects approximately 15,000 individuals in the United States and primarily impacts boys. Over time, deterioration of the heart muscle leads to cardiomyopathy and heart failure, which is the leading cause of death in DMD. There is no cure, and treatment options remain limited." The company's flagship drug, Dermiocel, consists of allogeneic cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs), which are a rare population of cardiac cells that have shown potent immunomodulatory and anti-fibrotic actions during clinical and preclinical studies. CDCs excrete exosomes, which target macrophages and alter their expression profile to adopt a healing phenotype. So far, Deramiocel has received Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of DMD from both the U.S. FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). In addition, it has been granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation in the U.S., Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP) designation in Europe, and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation from the FDA.

This outlook excludes any potential revenue from product sales, the potential monetization of a PRV, if received, or other non-operating sources of capital.</li> </ul> Capricor has packed the first quarter of 2026 with numerous <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/U-z9718754-U!CAPR-20260512/U/CAPR" target="_blank" rel="noopener">operational highlights</a>. Some include: <ul> <li>Capricor's Biologics License Application (BLA) for Deramiocel is currently under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.</li> <li>Cardiac MRI analyses showed a significant reduction in myocardial fibrosis by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) versus placebo, a clinically meaningful finding given that fibrosis is cumulative and irreversible. The Duchenne Video Assessment (DVA) "eat 10 bites" measure, a home-based, caregiver-captured assessment of upper limb function and daily living activities, demonstrated statistically significant improvement versus placebo, directly correlated with patient independence and quality of life.</li> <li>The company's manufacturing facility in San Diego successfully completed an FDA Pre-License Inspection. The facility is operational and positioned to support initial commercial launch. Second-floor expansion is underway, with the goal of scaling to approximately 2,000–2,500 patients per year, roughly 10,000 doses annually, at full capacity.</li> <li>Capricor has secured <a href="https://www.capricor.com/investors/news-events/press-releases/detail/345/capricor-therapeutics-expands-commercial-leadership-team" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Maurer as its Chief Commercial Officer</a> (CCO) with direct DMD commercial experience.</li> <li>Approximately 90 patients are currently enrolled across Capricor's collective open-label extension studies, with several patients receiving continuous intravenous infusions of Deramiocel for up to five years. Deramiocel has maintained a consistent, well-tolerated safety profile across more than 800 infusions.</li> <li>Upon potential approval, Capricor expects to be eligible to receive a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher (PRV). PRVs are transferable and can be monetized through sale, representing a meaningful potential source of non-dilutive capital.</li> </ul> Linda Marbán, Ph.D., and CEO of Capricor, said in the release: "Capricor enters this pivotal moment with important regulatory and clinical momentum as we work toward potential approval of Deramiocel for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. With the FDA review of our BLA underway and a PDUFA target action date of August 22, 2026, our highest priority is execution: working closely with the agency, preparing for potential launch, and continuing to build the capabilities of a commercial-stage company. We remain focused on ensuring that Deramiocel reaches every eligible patient as quickly as possible…" "Our thesis is straightforward: a potential first-in-class approval in a defined rare disease population, proprietary in-house manufacturing, a growing pipeline, and a leadership team with the conviction and the capital to execute," continued Dr. Marbán. "We are building something that will create meaningful and durable value for patients, for this company, and for the shareholders who have believed in this mission." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Biotech Sector Demands Funding</h2> In February 2026, <a href="https://www.iqvia.com/insights/the-iqvia-institute/reports-and-publications/reports/global-medicine-use-trends-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iqvia discussed the global pharma market projection for 2026</a>, noting that total drug usage is expected to surpass four trillion doses daily by 2030.

Edward Moreno of Sherwood News reported</a> contradictory news on January 14, 2026, writing that, "In 2025, announced global biotech deals totaled US$228.4 billion, up from US$132.3 billion in 2024, data from Dealogic shows . . . Just two weeks into 2026, US$9.2 billion in deals have been announced." According to Moreno, movement is expected in the sector: "As some of the most lucrative drugs lose exclusivity in the next few years, pharmaceutical giants are increasingly shopping around for biotechs to add to their portfolios — and they are more than happy to pay a hefty premium for the right company . . . For some Big Pharma companies, business development spending is now about equal to, or more than, research and development." This statement could explain the emerging drop in research and development spending at biotech and pharma companies. <a href="https://www.biospace.com/business/pharma-r-d-spend-drops-3-6-as-pipeline-prioritizations-take-shape" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On March 25, 2026, BioSpace's Annalee Armstrong reported</a> that, "R&D spending at the top 16 pharmaceutical companies declined by 3.6% overall in 2025, as many aggressively cut spending and refocused pipelines." <a href="https://www.bcg.com/publications/2026/reimagining-business-models-biopharma-trends" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BCG talked about trends biopharma companies need to be aware of in 2026</a> in order to stay competitive, saying, "Near term, companies need to continue to innovate to decrease the complexity and cost of these therapies, and governments can find ways to incentivize and pay for them. The longer-term challenge for companies is to factor operational and economic considerations into R&D decision making earlier, ensuring that trial designs match real-world usage, indication sequences match opportunity, and endpoints enable market access." <h2 style="text-align: center;">"Buy" Ratings All Around</h2> Several analysts issued or reiterated ratings and target prices after Capricor announced its Q1 2026 financials. For Oppenheimer, Leland Gershell, MD, Ph.D., gave the company an "Outperform" rating, with a 12-18-month price target of US$54.00 on May 12, 2026. Gershell wrote, "Following recent Phase 3 success for lead candidate Deramiocel in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), we anticipate FDA approval in 3Q. We forecast ~US$1.1B in 2031 sales by commercial partner NS Pharma, of which we model ~US$315M net share to CAPR that year. We believe Deramiocel's growing revenue stream will support advancement of the company's preclinical exosome technology, a cell-free platform with broad therapeutic and vaccine potential that could generate lucrative industry deals over time." [OWNERSHIP_CHART-6659] The following day, on May 13, 2026, Joseph Pantiginis, Ph.D., gave the company a "Buy" rating for H.C. Wainwright & Co. With a price target of US$60, Pantiginis said, "Our price target is based on our clinical net present value (NPV) model, which is driven entirely by the company's lead asset, Deramiocel, in DMD patients. There is no contribution from added Deramiocel indications or future potential exosomes candidates, which we believe represent potential upside to our valuation." Finally, Boobalan Pachaiyappan, Ph.D., managing director and senior research analyst for Roth, weighed in after Capricor announced Mr. Maurer's addition to the team. He wrote, " We have assessed Capricor Therapeutics using a discounted cash flow (DCF) methodology by employing an 85% POA, 9% discount rate, and a 0% terminal growth rate, yielding a market value of US$2.07 million. Our estimates suggest that Deramiocel could be launched in the U.S. in 2027, with potential loss of exclusivity beginning in 2039." <h2 style="text-align: center;">A Multi-Drug Pipeline</h2> Capricor awaits full facility validation, with FDA approval targeted for the first half of 2027.

Starting with the post-'87-Crash discovery of gold and silver in B.C.'s "Golden Triangle", the Eskay Creek discovery was the first of a number of market-rattling resource discoveries made in the Americas that propelled the junior resource sector to dizzying heights through most of the next decade. In 1991, the discovery of diamond-bearing kimberlites in Canada's Northwest Territories triggered the largest staking rush in history as over $200 million was spent acquiring land positions. After early sampling in September 1993 confirmed a drillable target, the Voisey's Bay (Labrador) nickel-copper-cobalt discovery became one of the most significant mineral finds of the late 20th century because the ore was both incredibly high-grade and located close to the surface, making it remarkably easy to extract. The discovery triggered a fierce multi-billion-dollar corporate bidding war. In 1996, Canadian mining giant Inco successfully purchased the site for a staggering CA$4.3 billion. Right after that came the Pierina gold-silver discovery in northern Peru by Canadian explorer Arequipa Resources Ltd., whose share price skyrocketed from roughly $2 per share to a buyout price of $30 per share (by Barrick Mining Corp. (ABX:TSX; B:NYSE)) in under a year. Those four discoveries were followed by the third major diamond discovery in Canada's NWT by Mountain Province Mining Inc. (today called Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. (MPVD:TSX)), whose early funding requirements were handled to no small degree by yours truly. Its move from the pennies to nearly $10 in 1996 will remain forever etched in my septuagenarian memory banks. The wealth created by these five major discoveries was truly mindboggling for the resource investor community that resided primarily in Canada, but with a major component being the U.S. investor class. Everything was humming along swimmingly until U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan threw the first chink into the armor-plated shield of the Canadian resource sector when he made those fateful remarks about "irrational exuberance" representing a "clear and present danger" to the health of the mainstream American (and global) economy. However, the major crippling blow came in April of 1997 after Strathcona Inc. reported the results of a forensic audit of assay results from the multi-billion dollar Bre-X gold debacle. I was presenting Mountain Province to a group of Fidelity fund managers the morning of the announcement when, after arriving in the reception room, I saw the morning section of the Globe & Mail's Report on Business with the headline "Strathcona confirms Bre-X Gold Discovery a Fraud". The meetings were originally planned in the largest of the Fidelity meeting rooms, but by the time 9:00 am arrived, the number of managers attending had dwindled from fifty to around ten. The body language of the attendees as I stepped up to the podium to introduce our corporate client was unmistakable — folded arms, eyes diverted, staring at watches, and more than the occasional yawn — all confirmed that these gentlemen did not want to be there. I decided that the only way to diffuse the tension was with humor, so with a large disingenuous smile on my face, I said boldly: "Good morning, everyone, and thank you for attending. I am here today representing a junior Canadian exploration company — HOW DO YOU LIKE ME SO FAR???" After the nervous laughter subsided and the presentation ended, the senior Fidelity boss came over and said, "Great presentation under difficult conditions." After which he shook my hand and said, "Have a good flight back. See you again in ten years." Well, it wasn't ten years but a little under five years that the junior exploration sector went completely dormant, with only the gold breakout in 2001 resurrecting the buyers. What had been a nine-year run of "irrational exuberance" in the junior mining space had turned into a four-and-a-half-year period of corporate finance agony. It was in late 2001 that the phone rang, and my Fidelity contact started our conversation as if it were only yesterday. "I told you ten years, and here it is almost five. Send me your list of junior gold miners, and maybe we can do some business again." I should add that between the horrific revelation of the Bre-X fraud and that phone call, the world had to deal with the Asian debt crisis of 1997, the Russian debt default of 1998, and the popping of the dotcom bubble in 2001, all of which threw bucket after bucket of cold water on the Canadian junior miners. Here in 2026, the markets are still absorbing the impact of government response to the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, where total global economic stimulus deployed to fight the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown reached approximately $17.2 trillion in direct government fiscal spending, with some banking and monetary estimates placing the broader combined global injection closer to $32 trillion. That liquidity continues to slosh around the financial system, finding a home for the most part in common stocks, as the S&P 500 has moved from a low of 2,191.86 on March 23, 2020. With the S&P 500 at 7,580, it has increased 3.46 times the lows of 2020, while U.S. gross domestic product has grown from $21.54 trillion to $32.38 for a gain of 1.5 times. The S&P 500 has increased 2.31 times the rate of growth for the U.S. economy, which tells me that the culprit can only be one thing — the liquidity created during the pandemic. <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/20266164952_1.png" alt="" width="624" height="278" /> The new poster child for this love affair with stocks is the rise of "artificial intelligence" deals led by the number one chipmaker, Nvidia Corp. (NVDA:NASDAQ), whose share price is up 4,085% since the pandemic lows. By comparison, Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST:NASDAQ) is ahead only 250.1% in the same period. Even computer maker IBM:US is only up 220.2% in that time span, which tells me that the majority of the liquidity created by the global governments has been channeled into "AI," which has, in fold created not one shred of profit (yet), but where most of the revenue growth has come from bonds issued to fund the build-out. Therefore, since there is no real evidence of an increase in productivity or earnings, this advance in the valuations for all companies directly or indirectly linked to the "AI build-out" represents a hybrid of the Greenspan euphemism "irrational exuberance," only this time, analysts should insert the term "artificial exuberance" to qualify this quantum leap in overvaluation. And anyone buying into a market driven purely by (unbridled) greed and fear (of missing out) is bending down in front of a steamroller to ensnare the quarter lodged in the cement. The risk surely outweighs the potential reward. More importantly, what bearing does this have on the Great Commodities Supercycle being lauded and applauded by everyone with a blog or podcast that has swallowed the "AI build-out" story hook, line, and sinking microchip? More importantly, what are the ramifications for the S&P/TSX Venture Composite, now showing a year-to-date gain of only 1.41% despite gold up 4.47%, silver up 6.73%, and copper up 10.46%, all on a year-to-date basis? <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/20266165024_2.png" alt="" width="624" height="278" /> The answer lies in the current obsession amongst the younger generation of retail traders — and they are retail, short-term traders whose definition of a long-term trade is where the ink is barely dry on the confirmation slip. Mind you, everything is electronic these days, so maybe the 2026 version of a short-term trade is where they set the sell price before they receive a fill on the buy side. Whatever the case may be, this generation of traders that has been trained — brainwashed — into believing that no matter what price they pay for anything, if it starts to leak oil, the Fed or the Treasury will send in a bugle-bearing cavalry of "dead presidents" to flood the market with sufficient liquidity such that nobody loses money. It is just like when they give out the end-of-year report cards to the kiddies these days, and everyone has a "cum laude" on their card with nary a one failing. When I was in school, the cards were given out to the average students first, with the "cum laude" eggheads next in line and the "summa cum laude" nerds at the tail end. In fact, the kid with the highest mark in the class got a special nod from the home room teacher. The poor numbskulls that failed were not even given "summer school" as a penance until years later, after I became a parent, because the educators in the 1950s believed (and rightly so) that the floaters that resembled Cro-Magnon man failing to do their "lessons" deserved the embarrassment of starting the next year with kids a year younger than them. I grew up in a working-class aircraft manufacturing town in northwest Toronto, and to walk into a grade eight class and see your older brother's pal with the finest pork chop sideburns in the entire school, seated in the front row, was quite a shock when every other boy in class was still two years away from puberty. It was always the kid with the sideburns who stayed after class to get extra help, and that was the whole purpose of holding him back a grade. Kids always strove to avoid embarrassment through achievement rather than entitlement, which is most certainly a departure from today's classrooms. I wonder what happens if and when the current fiscal debt bomb with the lit fuse forces the Fed and the Treasury to refrain from rescuing the capital markets in order to avoid defaults. The Fed was able to rescue the banks back in 2008, but who, pray tell, will be rescuing the Fed when the monetary chickens come home to roost? Total securities (purchased by the Fed) at their amortized cost are estimated to be $6.47 trillion ($4.39 trillion in U.S. Treasuries and $2.08 trillion in Mortgage-Backed Securities), with the market value of said securities at $5.63 trillion, leaving a net paper deficit of $844 billion at year-end, which has recently hovered around $857 billion. The Fed is an "independent federal agency and not a GSE ("government sponsored entity"), but the role of the Fed, it has been said, is to "manage U.S. monetary policy and financial system stability" as opposed to a GSE whose role is to "expand credit and liquidity in targeted sectors like real estate". You cannot tell me that the Fed was not doing exactly that for the banks during either the 2008 GFC or the 2020 Covid pandemic. The Fed is the sole possession of its member banks, and as such, there will never be an occasion when there is a "cash call" as in the great film "Trading Places" where the Chairman of the commodity exchange says to Mortimer Duke, "You know the rules of the Exchange, Mr. Duke! All accounts are to be settled at the end of the day's trading, without exceptions." (at which point Randolph Duke collapses). Whereas poor Randolph came to a sudden realization that no one was going to rescue either him or his brother, there is going to be an occasion where officials at the U.S. Fed and Treasury have a "Randolph Duke moment" with the sudden realization that there is no recourse other than default, which sends the USD into a death spiral. With that, commodities will explode to higher ground, but what will the "AI" hyperscalers do with all that new debt? The major tech hyperscalers —Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN:NASDAQ), Alphabet Inc. Class A (GOOGL:NASDAQ), Meta Platforms Inc. (META:NASDAQ), Microsoft Corp. (MSFT:NASDAQ), and Oracle Corp. (ORCL:NYSE) — have taken on approximately $230 billion to $260 billion in cumulative new balance-sheet debt over the last five years. It is still a drop in the proverbial bucket as compared to the debt being held by the Fed at $6.47 trillion. Add them all together, and you have all the right ingredients for an epic drop in the purchasing power of the U.S. currency, the inverse of which is an epic surge in the dollar-denominated price of commodities, which, I should add, includes all of those critical minerals required for the "AI build-out". So, when subscribers are emailing me with questions about the companies I own, I try to take a philosophical approach. The juniors are, unfortunately, doomed to a life of elevated volatility because they are largely illiquid and fraught with executional risk. However, the ones I own have management teams that have put together well-defined resources, such as gold, copper, or silver. There is always execution risk, but I gravitate to companies that see themselves purely as developers with no intention of taking on the risk of either mine construction or production. A great example is Fitzroy Minerals Inc. (FTZ:TSX.V; FTZFF:OTCQB), whose management has an economically viable oxide copper resource in Chile. They announced on April 23 that they had signed a "Letter of Intent" with Chilean miner Pucobre S.A., whereby the latter intends to exercise their 30% "clawback provision". CEO Merlin Marr-Johnson sums it up beautifully: "The joint Letter of Intent is a major validation of the Buen Retiro Heap Leach project and is a win for both parties. Pucobre benefits by potentially securing production from the Buen Retiro Heap Leach to fill spare capacity at Planta Biocobre for many years, and thereby significantly improve operational economics by spreading fixed costs across more production units." <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/20266165055_3.png" alt="" width="624" height="398" /> The Fitzroy CEO makes no bones about the company having no delusions about managing a producing mining operation. They know that Pucobre S.A. is the expert at heap-leaching oxide copper deposits in the Chilean jurisdiction, so they welcome the LOI with open arms. For me as a shareholder, it is important that I see a clear path to an exit strategy. Otherwise, many of these junior miners just languish in mediocrity. The company emphasizes in all of their presentations that they are "explorers first and foremost," and the establishment of a large copper-bearing sulphide deposit at either Buen Retiro or Caballos is in addition to the oxides at BR. Therein lies my exit strategy because the free cash flow off the oxides makes any purchase of FTZ/FTZFF immediately accretive as of 2028. CEO's at the major mining companies will look at the accretive nature of the acquisition very fondly because the markets will not penalize their shareholders, which is critical. We are going to go through the normal summer doldrums that the bulls refute every single year since the 1980's, whether we like it or not. Every year, some junior mining executive gives me five bullet points on why his company's share price will advance over the summer months, and every year it fails to happen. I have told subscribers numerous times that the TSXV will present an opportunity around the middle of August, with possible exceptions being any junior that delivers an unexpected world-class drill intercept, which is possible with every single company I hold. I urge you all to keep an eye on the drilling progress and avoid getting frustrated with the lack of movement. Enjoy the summer and get ready for an exciting second half of 2026 just like the second half was in 2025. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li>As of the date of this article, officers, contractors, shareholders, and/or employees of Streetwise Reports LLC (including members of their household) own securities of Fitzroy Minerals Inc. and Amazon.com Inc.</li> <li>Michael Ballanger: I, or members of my immediate household or family, own securities of: Fitzroy Minerals Inc.

The company reported that grab samples near the initial collar location returned values of up to 3.0 g/t gold. Water samples collected from a nearby stream proximal to the drill area returned aluminum values of 4.54 milligrams per liter, copper values of 0.221 milligrams per liter, manganese values of 0.499 milligrams per liter, and iron values of 3.28 milligrams per liter. Sankamap stated that copper concentrations were significantly elevated relative to normal pristine background conditions, which are typically equal to or below 0.02 milligrams per liter copper. Drilling at hole KU26-01 has intersected several alteration zones, including an intensely clay-altered interval characterized by abundant anhydrite veining and pyrite from 250.0 meters to 280.5 meters depth. The company also reported multiple intervals of hydrothermally altered volcanic rocks containing abundant anhydrite veining and pyrite mineralization. <a href="https://sankamap.com/encouraging-early-signs-of-large-gold-copper-system-identified-at-kuma/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chief executive officer John Florek stated in a company news release, </a>"The combination of strong surface gold results, elevated copper values in nearby water samples, and encouraging alteration encountered in our first drill hole provides early evidence of a large and active mineralizing system at Kuma." He added that, "The drilling intersected strong alteration, veining and sulphide mineralization that are commonly associated with porphyry-related gold-copper systems." Sankamap stated that a surface rock sample grading 3.0 g/t gold was identified within the interpreted lithocap alteration zone at the drill site. The company also said drilling has intersected hydrothermally altered volcanic rocks containing abundant pyrite mineralization and anhydrite veining. Drilling of hole KU26-01 is continuing. The company said sample preparation and analysis for water and rock samples were completed at ALS Global's Brisbane, Australia, facility. Rock samples were analyzed using four-acid digestion methods, and gold was analyzed using a 50-gram fire assay. Water samples were analyzed under the ALS drinking water schedule 3 to determine dissolved metal concentrations and general water quality characteristics. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Gold Holds Key Support While Copper Supply Tightens</h2> <a href="https://vblgoldfix.substack.com/p/gold-ready-to-shine-again?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=456345&post_id=199726635&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=4tebdf&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to Ed Yardeni in a May 29 Yardeni QuickTakes note</a>, gold prices had been holding above their 200-day moving average despite geopolitical developments in the Middle East. Yardeni wrote that the price of gold had peaked at a record US$5,318 per ounce on January 29 before declining and later rebounding during a ceasefire period. He stated that the decline had placed gold "back within an upward-trending channel that began in late 2023." Yardeni also noted that "The war boosted the dollar's foreign-exchange value, which is bearish for gold," while adding that higher interest rates had also weighed on the metal. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/gold-slips-stronger-dollar-oil-trumps-decision-iran-ceasefire-focus-2026-06-01/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reuters reported on May 31 that gold prices declined as renewed tensions between the United States and Iran strengthened the U.S. dollar and oil prices</a>. Spot gold was reported at US$4,498.89 per ounce after reaching a two-week high the previous Friday, while the metal recorded its fourth consecutive monthly decline in May. Reuters noted that market participants were monitoring both geopolitical developments and interest rate expectations. Ricardo Evangelista of ActivTrades told Reuters that "The optimism surrounding negotiations between the U.S. and Iran aimed at ending the standoff in the Strait of Hormuz faded over the weekend." He added that "energy prices rebounded, reviving inflation concerns and reinforcing hawkish Federal Reserve expectations." <a href="https://goldinvest.de/en/copper-market-under-pressure-u-s-snaps-up-physical-metal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In the copper sector, Björn Junker wrote on June 1 that global copper trade flows had been undergoing a significant realignment driven by geopolitical tensions</a>, trade policy expectations, and widening price differences between U.S. and international markets. He reported that the Comex front-month contract had recently traded at a premium of more than US$500 per ton over London Metal Exchange spot prices, creating incentives for physical metal shipments into the United States. Junker cited Henry Van, head of industrial metals analysis at Trafigura Group, who stated, "We are seeing a parallel here to last year, when available volumes of copper were massively diverted toward the U.S. Import volumes of 200,000 tons per month are absolutely realistic in the near future." The report also noted that market participants expected U.S. copper imports to increase to between 150,000 and 200,000 tons per month. The June 1 analysis highlighted several demand drivers within the copper market. Junker wrote that "The immense energy requirements of modern data centers are establishing themselves as a long-term catalyst for demand." He also noted that speculative investor positioning on Comex had reached its most optimistic level since December 2020 and that Chinese buyers had increased purchases following a brief slowdown earlier in the year. According to Junker, market observers indicated that the copper market outside the United States had already been operating in a deficit. The report stated that declining inventories in China and withdrawals from London Metal Exchange warehouses had contributed to tighter supplies, while logistical challenges involving shipping routes and infrastructure constraints had added complexity to global copper movements. <h2 style="text-align: center;" data-start="0" data-end="36">Independent Investor Perspective</h2> In the May 28 edition of the What's Chen Buying? What's Chen Selling? newsletter, investor Chen Lin commented on Sankamap's ongoing drill program at its Kuma project in the Solomon Islands. Lin wrote, "SCU.cn, our little Sankamap, is close to a major discovery. I talked to the management, and they are very excited." He noted that the current hole was the first ever drilled on the concession and stated that it appeared to be close to a high-grade discovery target. According to Lin, "This is the first hole ever drilled in this concession. It looks like it is very close to the high-grade discovery." He added that he had been told discovery holes at similar projects can emerge later in a drilling campaign, stating, "I was told the discovery holes in other projects like this can show up in holes 3-10." Lin concluded that the initial drilling results were encouraging and indicated that the company remained committed to additional drilling. "Again, this is very encouraging; they are motivated to drill follow-on holes," he wrote. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Exploration Activities Continue at Kuma</h2> <a href="https://wp-sankamap-2025.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/media/2026/05/Sankamap-Corporate-Presentation-2026_May-22.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sankamap reported that the initial drill campaign at Kuma is planned to total approximately 2,000 to 3,000 meters and is focused on several priority targets identified through geophysical and geochemical work.</a> The company stated that the program is fully financed and retains flexibility for expansion based on results. Geophysical anomalies coincident with lithocap features are being integrated to refine collar locations and drill orientations. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11621] The company said its technical team has identified several targets characterized by a leached lithocap associated with advanced argillic alteration, including alunite, kaolinite, and residual silica. Recent fieldwork outlined an extensive lithocap zone, and the company stated that geological features identified at Kuma are consistent with regional geological trends. The company also noted that no historical drilling has been conducted on the Kuma property. According to the company's May 2026 corporate presentation, inaugural drilling is currently underway at the Kuma property and follows geophysical work completed during 2025 that identified signatures consistent with porphyry-style mineralization and helped refine drill targets. The Kuma property comprises approximately 43 square kilometers and is located about 37 kilometers southeast of Honiara on Guadalcanal Island. The company also reported historical grab samples from the property of up to 11.7% copper and 13.5 g/t gold. Sankamap stated that drilling operations are expected to continue through the second quarter and early third quarter of 2026. The company said assay results will be released as they become available and are validated. According to the corporate presentation, Sankamap is fully funded for its 2026 drill programs, with drilling underway at Kuma and summer exploration planned at its Fauro property. <h2 style="text-align: center;" data-start="4161" data-end="4541">Ownership and Share Structure1</h2> Management and insiders own 14.33% of Sankamap Metals.

(SBOW:NYSE) announced <a href="https://silverbowmining.com/rss-article.php?id=298855" target="_blank" rel="noopener">that the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MT DEQ) issued the company an Authorization to Proceed (AtP) for Amendment 2 (AMD2) to Exploration License No. 00857 at its Rainbow Block project in Butte, Montana</a>. The authorization allows the company to conduct all surface and underground exploration activities outlined in its approved Plan of Operations. The AtP became effective May 18, 2026, after Silver Bow Mining satisfied regulatory requirements, including posting a US$2,188,039 surety bond for anticipated reclamation costs. The authorization followed MT DEQ's completion of a Final Environmental Assessment on May 8, 2026. According to the company, AMD2 expands the scope of authorized exploration activities at the Rainbow Block, allowing both surface and underground work intended to further define and improve geological understanding of the deposit. "Receipt of the Authorization to Proceed marks an important milestone for Silver Bow Mining," <a href="https://silverbowmining.com/rss-article.php?id=298855" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Travis Naugle said in a company news release.</a> "We have completed a thorough environmental review process, satisfied regulatory requirements, and we are now cleared to advance the next phase of exploration at the Rainbow Block." Silver Bow Mining stated that surface drilling at the Rainbow Block was already underway under Amendment 1, which MT DEQ authorized on October 4, 2021. The company has been drilling at the Missoula and Badger sites under that authorization. AMD2 adds seven new surface drill pad locations and authorizes development of the Rainbow Decline, consisting of a new portal and approximately 6,000 feet of underground development connecting to the existing Lexington Mine shaft at the 400-foot level. The company noted that the authorization followed several recent developments. Silver Bow Mining completed its initial public offering on the NYSE American on April 30, 2026, with shares trading under the symbol SBMT. On May 4, 2026, the company announced the commencement of surface drilling at the Rainbow Block under AMD1, a program expected to include approximately 25,000 feet of drilling. On May 12, 2026, Silver Bow Mining announced a contract with MES Mining, a division of Mining & Environmental Services LLC, for the rehabilitation and modernization of the existing Chief Joseph portal and underground decline under AMD1. The company stated that MES was mobilizing equipment and materials to Butte, with rehabilitation work anticipated to begin in June. "The regulatory process confirmed the soundness of our exploration plan and our commitment to responsible operations," Naugle said in a company news release. "We worked constructively with MT DEQ throughout a thorough review, and we appreciate the professionalism of the agency's team." <div class="qMYqUG_convSearchResultHighlightRoot"> <div class="" data-turn-id-container="request-WEB:1263d284-4d84-4d9c-b592-bb721e450ff3-32" data-is-intersecting="true"> <section class="text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none [&:has([data-writing-block])>*]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" data-turn-id="request-WEB:1263d284-4d84-4d9c-b592-bb721e450ff3-32" data-turn-id-container="request-WEB:1263d284-4d84-4d9c-b592-bb721e450ff3-32" data-testid="conversation-turn-12" data-scroll-anchor="false" data-turn="assistant"> <div class="text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)"> <div class="[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn"> <div class="flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow"> <div class="min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+&]:mt-1" dir="auto" tabindex="0" data-message-author-role="assistant" data-message-id="44e52625-425d-44da-be17-c7e8aa741984" data-message-model-slug="gpt-5-5" data-turn-start-message="true"> <div class="flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden"> <div class="markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full dark markdown-new-styling"> <h2 style="text-align: center;" data-section-id="1qaag6k" data-start="0" data-end="61">Silver Demand, Pricing, and Market Access Remained in Focus</h2> <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/investing/bank-of-america-tells-silver-investors-to-expect-rally-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a May 29 report discussing Bank of America's latest precious metals research</a>, analysts led by Michael Widmer wrote that "while a rally in gold could once again boost silver above US$100/oz. in the coming months, we do not see silver outpacing on a sustained basis due to easing fundamental demand." The report noted that silver had reached US$120 per ounce earlier in the year before retreating below US$75 and highlighted the metal's dual role as both a precious and industrial commodity. The Bank of America analysts also stated that "as silver prices rose almost exponentially, market participants such as solar PV manufacturers faced immense margin pressure, incentivizing efforts to engineer silver out of industrial products." They further observed that "while we see demand for silver increasing across a range of other sectors, these additions are too small to meaningfully boost industrial demand," pointing to ongoing shifts within industrial consumption patterns. <a href="https://sdbullion.com/silver-prices" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Silver market data published June 1 showed the metal trading at US$76.64 per ounce.</a> The report described the silver spot price as "the current market price of one troy ounce of silver for immediate delivery" and noted that it served as "the benchmark for pricing silver coins, rounds and bars." The same data showed silver prices had increased 128.22% over the previous 11 months and 168.08% over the previous four years. <a href="https://www.ndtvprofit.com/markets/silver-100-futures-mcx-opens-precious-metal-derivatives-trading-to-small-investors-11575237" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Also on June 1, Multi-Commodity Exchange launched Silver 100 futures contracts, allowing market participants to gain exposure to silver in quantities as low as 100 grams.</a> In a regulatory filing, MCX Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Praveena Rai stated that "The Silver 100 futures contract helps businesses in India's silver industry protect themselves against price volatility." Rai added that "local jewelry businesses can now hedge or take delivery in quantities that are better aligned with their inventory needs." MCX said the contract was introduced in response to market feedback and was intended to broaden participation in silver trading while supporting activity across the silver industry. <div class="qMYqUG_convSearchResultHighlightRoot"> <div class="" data-turn-id-container="request-WEB:1263d284-4d84-4d9c-b592-bb721e450ff3-33" data-is-intersecting="true"> <section class="text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none [&:has([data-writing-block])>*]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" data-turn-id="request-WEB:1263d284-4d84-4d9c-b592-bb721e450ff3-33" data-turn-id-container="request-WEB:1263d284-4d84-4d9c-b592-bb721e450ff3-33" data-testid="conversation-turn-14" data-scroll-anchor="false" data-turn="assistant"> <div class="text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)"> <div class="[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn"> <div class="flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow"> <div class="min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+&]:mt-1" dir="auto" tabindex="0" data-message-author-role="assistant" data-message-id="e32c5cae-1579-4bf9-a1a4-18e28ebbed82" data-message-model-slug="gpt-5-5" data-turn-start-message="true"> <div class="flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden"> <div class="markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full dark markdown-new-styling"> <h2 style="text-align: center;" data-section-id="1kjqkof" data-start="0" data-end="62">Third-Party Coverage Following NYSE American Listing</h2> According to a May 27 report from Research Capital analyst Stuart McDougall, the firm initiated coverage of Silver Bow Mining with a Speculative Buy rating and a US$25.60 per share target price. McDougall described the company as a "Rare Opportunity in Exceptional District" and wrote that the Rainbow Block project contained "an impressive 49Moz of silver, 1.05Blbs of zinc, 287Mlbs of lead, and 0.55Moz of gold in 10Mt." The report stated that "mineralization remains open for potential expansion with further drilling, both from surface and from an extensive network of underground workings." In the same report, McDougall noted that state and local officials were "clearly supportive of the project, having just approved an amendment to Silver Bow's exploration license that permits another 102,000ft to be drilled in 53 surface holes, among other things." Research Capital maintained a Speculative Buy rating and a US$25.60 target price. Also on May 27, analysts Matthew O'Keefe and Nicholas Lobo of Cantor Fitzgerald initiated coverage of Silver Bow Mining with a Speculative Buy rating and a US$19.80 per share target price. The analysts wrote that Silver Bow was "a mineral exploration and development company focused on silver-polymetallic targets in Butte, Montana, where it has already established a high-grade resource hosting 125.5 MMoz of silver equivalent (AgEq)." They added that the company's exploration program would include "surface and underground drilling, and underground development." O'Keefe and Lobo highlighted what they described as a "Large High Grade Silver Resource," stating that the Rainbow Property hosted "an Inferred resource of 125.5 MMoz AgEq with an average grade of 375 g/t AgEq." The report also cited "Significant Exploration Potential," noting that the land package contained "multiple untested and underexplored claim blocks with good potential to significantly increase the resource." Cantor Fitzgerald maintained its Speculative Buy rating and US$19.80 target price.

The project is only three kilometers east of ISO Energy Ltd.'s (ISO:TSX; ISOU:NYSE) Hurricane deposit and in a known indicated resource area at Larocque Lake. In mid-June, the company will follow up on <a href="https://api.newsfilecorp.com/redirect/LqZZPSDJg7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">uranium mineralization intersected in late 2026</a>. Cosa has partnered with Denison Mines Corp. (DML:TSX; DNN:NYSE.MKT) in a joint partnership at Murphy Lake North and owns a 70% interest in the project, with Denison holding a 30% interest. <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!COSA-3825824/C/COSA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Highlights</a> of the future drill program announcement include: <ul> <li>Multiple intersections of unconformity-related uranium mineralization remain open along strike for 600 meters in both directions; drilling to focus on step-out tests of the Cyclone mineralization approximately 265 meters below surface</li> <li>Largest drill program to date at Murphy Lake North will commence in mid-June and comprise approximately 6,000 meters, 15 drill holes</li> <li>Denison is participating in funding the 2026 exploration at MLN to maintain its 30% interest</li> </ul> In the release, Cosa President and CEO, said, "Having intersected 5.0 meters averaging 0.55% U3O8 within an extensive structure and alteration zone that remains open along strike, we are eager to return to site and commence what will be the largest drill program for Cosa and the Murphy Lake North Joint Venture since the inception of the company. With Denison's support and participation in the funding of ongoing exploration, we are very excited to follow up on the uranium mineralization at Murphy Lake North." VP of Exploration, Andy Carmichael, followed up by saying, "Exploration at Cyclone has progressed from initial drilling on the trend to preparing to follow up multiple intersections of uranium mineralization with significant untested strike in both directions in less than one year. We draw great encouragement from the similarity of Cyclone's sandstone alteration patterns to those at Hurricane, and from the significant nickel and cobalt coincident with uranium mineralization similar to Key Lake, Cigar Lake, and Hurricane." Cosa Resources Corp. is a Canadian uranium exploration company focused on mining in Saskatchewan, with a portfolio of roughly 237, 000 hectares across multiple projects within the Athabasca Basin region. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Uranium Supply in Demand</h2> Uranium is growing in importance as a crucial component of the energy sector. As a critical component in nuclear energy and emerging technologies, a shortage of the element is only expected to grow. The <a href="https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/six-global-trends-in-nuclear-power-you-should-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener">International Atomic Energy Agency</a> projects that global nuclear capacity could double by 2050, reaching between 561 gigawatts and 992 gigawatts. This prediction has caused uranium mine policy support to strengthen. In May 2025, <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/research/2026/02/uranium-s-next-decade-from-tight-supply-to-a-broader-mining-boom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the U.S. issued a series of executive orders</a> aimed at quadrupling domestic nuclear capacity to 400 gigawatts by 2050, from roughly 100 gigawatts today. "The United States burns through roughly 50 million pounds of uranium each year to fuel the world's largest fleet of nuclear reactors, and imports approximately 95% of that uranium from foreign suppliers," <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/U-C3653-U!UEC-20260514/U/UEC" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported Equity Insider</a> on May 14, 2026. The report continued, "That structural import dependence — combined with accelerating demand projections for nuclear power across AI data centers, grid expansion, and emerging space-deployment mandates — has placed domestic uranium development firmly into the national security conversation." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Experts Eager for Upcoming Results</h2> Red Cloud's David Talbot gave an exploration update on the company on March 24, 2026, calling the results "very positive." [OWNERSHIP_CHART-10883] Talbot wrote: "While assays are pending, we view these as encouraging results with a clearly visible uranium mineralization in core photos, which could very well translate into a discovery. The shallow mineralized zone and proximity to infrastructure are an added bonus. The program is led by a strong, ex-Denison and ISO team under Keith Bodnarchuk and Andy Carmichael. The target sits in one of the Athabasca Basin's most compelling corridors, anchored by the nearby Hurricane deposit — the highest-grade uranium deposit in the world, hosting 50M lbs at 35% U3O8." <a href="https://aheadoftheherd.com/cosa-resources-largest-drill-program-to-date-at-murphy-lake-north-a-joint-venture-between-cosa-and-denison-mines-richard-mills/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ahead of the Herd wrote about the company's unique position to find uranium</a> on May 31, 2026, arguing that, "Investors should recognize that this summer’s drill program at Murphy Lake North could discover a new uranium deposit. If Cosa achieves this, it could trigger a bidding war among multiple companies seeking additional uranium supply to support their mines and mills for years to come." But even if no deposit is found this summer, next winter's program could find assets at the Darby joint venture or further digging at Murphy Lake North. "On the bright side, it might even be possible, between these two projects, for Cosa to come up with more than one discovery," the article said. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Cosa Ready to Mobilize</h2> The company's main focus for the remainder of 2026 will be follow-up drilling to refine resources at Murphy Lake North. In the <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!COSA-3825824/C/COSA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a>, the Cosa said, "Crews are preparing to mobilize, and a rapid start-up is expected as the drill and supporting equipment remains on site at MLN. The company expects to announce the commencement of drilling in mid-June, which will take approximately two months to complete, and will be followed by drilling at the company's Darby joint venture." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership & Share Information1</h2> Cosa Resources Corp. has a market cap of CA$78 million, with 118.18 million shares outstanding.

(ALGR:TSX.V) launches its largest-ever Mexico drill campaign, targeting high-grade copper, gold, and silver expansion potential.On May 28, 2026, <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/pub/co/11488?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Algo Grande Copper Corp. (ALGR:TSX.V) </a>announced <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!ALGR-3825768/C/ALGR" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the completion and interpretation of magnetic and Lidar surveys</a> along the Adelita project's 6-kilometer-long granodiorite-limestone corridor Sonora, Mexico. The data has been used to finalize drill targeting for Algo Grande's planned Phase 2 diamond drilling program that will start in June 2026. Major Drilling Group International Inc. (MDI:TSX) will execute the drill campaign beginning June 5, 2026, and will be the company's largest drill campaign at Adelita to date, doubling the historical drilling on the property. The goal of the campaign is to expand the high-grade Cerro Grande skarn discovery while testing other targets across the broader mineral system. CEO of Algo Grande, Enrico Gay, said in the release: "I could not be prouder of our team - the Phase II drill program marks a major step as it will effectively double historical drilling completed on the Adelita project to date. The new drone magnetic survey has defined a 2.5-kilometer target corridor surrounding the Cerro Grande discovery, giving us a clear pathway to potentially grow the footprint significantly. At the same time, maiden drill programs at Las Trancas and Cerro Potrero provide exposure to entirely new discovery opportunities across the broader Adelita district." The press release defined the three objectives of this Phase 2 program as: <ul> <li>Expanding the Cerro Grande Skarn: "Recent drilling at Cerro Grande confirmed a large, high-grade multi-horizon skarn system, including assay results of 36.00 metres grading above 1.0% Cu (copper) and 14.79 meters grading 1.4% Cu within a broader mineralized interval."</li> <li>Cerro Portrero South Maiden Diamond Drilling Program: "Recent surface work identified copper-gold-silver skarn mineralization exposed over approximately 300 metres of strike length, coincident with a strong magnetic anomaly defined by the new survey data. A total of 14 rock samples identified copper mineralization, including three samples grading above 1% Cu, four samples above 1 g/t Au (gold), with peak values of 3.06% Cu, 3.72 g/t Au, and 232 g/t Ag (silver)."</li> <li>Las Trancas Epithermal System Maiden Diamond Drill Program: "Recent sampling at Las Trancas returned exceptionally high-grade silver, copper, and gold values from surface mineralization and historical workings. Notably, three of four collected samples returned grades above 1% Cu, including peak values of 41.4% Cu, 2.0 g/t Au, and 1,570 g/t Ag from a selective stockpile sample."</li> </ul> Upcoming drilling will test and expand mineralization in all three areas. Algo Grande Copper Corp. is a Canadian exploration company focused on testing overlooked, potentially high-value properties in North America, with current projects centered in Mexico.

The report also stated that UBS saw copper prices "marching toward US$15,500" per metric ton. UBS analysts wrote that "structural shortages across concentrates, scrap, sulfur, and refined output" had been forcing prices steadily higher despite mixed global growth signals. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/commentary/reuters-open-interest/copper-braces-another-round-us-tariff-roulette-2026-05-28/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reuters columnist Andy Home wrote on May 28 that the copper market had again entered "a state of nervous anticipation"</a> ahead of a U.S. decision on potential tariffs on refined copper imports expected by the end of June. According to Reuters, the widening premium between CME copper contracts and London Metal Exchange pricing had drawn additional metal into the United States, tightening availability in other markets. The Reuters report stated that U.S. imports of refined copper more than doubled year-over-year to 533,000 tons during the first quarter of 2026, citing data from the World Bureau of Metal Statistics. Reuters also reported that CME copper inventories totaled 577,385 tons, representing 44% of global exchange inventory, while additional copper stocks had migrated to U.S. ports. Andy Home wrote that the United States had "over the last year or so built up its own strategic copper reserve thanks to the on-again, off-again threat of tariffs." The report also stated that the U.S. import dependency rate for copper had risen to 57% from 45% in 2024, according to the United States Geological Survey. Reuters noted that the stated aim of tariffs had been to "reinvigorate U.S. production capacity," while adding that the country still had only two primary copper smelters. <a href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/copper-data-centers-market-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A separate report from Grand View Research on the copper in data centers market stated that the global market size had been estimated at US$1.6 billion in 2025 and was projected to grow from US$1.8 billion in 2026 to US$4.6 billion by 2033</a> at a compound annual growth rate of 14.4%. The report stated that North America accounted for a 41.4% revenue share in 2025. According to Grand View Research, demand for copper in data centers has been driven by "the rapid expansion of hyperscale and colocation data centers, increasing deployment of AI-focused computing infrastructure, and rising demand for high-performance cloud services globally." The report also stated that "technological advancements in hyperscale computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and high-density server architecture" had been transforming the market. Grand View Research further stated that copper had played "a critical role in enabling energy-efficient electrical transmission and thermal management systems within data centers due to its high conductivity, recyclability, and durability." The report added that the increasing adoption of liquid cooling systems, advanced thermal management infrastructure, and edge computing facilities had continued to increase demand for copper-intensive electrical and networking infrastructure. The report stated that the power infrastructure segment accounted for 47.3% of market revenue in 2025 due to copper use in transformers, switchgear systems, power distribution units, backup power systems, and electrical cabling infrastructure. Grand View Research also noted that the cooling systems segment had been projected to expand at a 16.3% compound annual growth rate during the forecast period, driven by demand for copper-based heat exchangers, cooling pipes, and thermal conductivity components used in AI-ready computing facilities. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Copper Exploration, Policy Alignment, and Technical Commentary</h2> 1<a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/02/11/a-us-copper-story-re-emerges-as-policy-geology-and-the-chart-align.html?m_t=2026_02_11_11_55_21&utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a February 11 article from John Newell of John Newell & Associates published by Streetwise Reports, Copper One Resources Corp. was described as "a U.S.-focused copper exploration company"</a> with its primary asset being the Majuba Hill Copper Project in Nevada. Newell wrote that the company had spent "several years methodically advancing this project through drilling, geophysics, and geological modeling, steadily building a large technical dataset while operating in one of the most mining-friendly jurisdictions in the world." In the February 11 article, Newell stated that "what makes [Copper One Resources] interesting at this stage is not just the copper exposure, but the timing." He added that the company was "positioned at the intersection of rising copper demand, renewed U.S. strategic interest in domestic metals supply, and a share price that appears to be emerging from a prolonged base." The report stated that over multiple drill campaigns from 2020 through 2025, the company had completed "more than 100 drill holes totaling over 80,000 feet of drilling." Newell also wrote that recent programs had focused on "expanding known copper mineralization, testing deeper sulphide targets, and following up on resistivity anomalies generated through modern geophysics and AI-assisted targeting." According to the article, "the current technical work suggests Majuba Hill has the scale potential investors look for in a porphyry system." The report added that "while still at the exploration stage, success here would be meaningful relative to the company's current market capitalization." Newell also discussed Project Vault, describing it as "the newly announced U.S. strategic critical minerals reserve." He wrote that "Project Vault signals that the U.S. government is now treating copper and other critical metals as strategic assets, similar in concept to how oil has been treated through the Strategic Petroleum Reserve." According to the article, "the intent is to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains, particularly from jurisdictions that dominate global processing and supply." The article further stated that "for companies exploring copper in the United States, this policy shift improves the long-term backdrop." Newell wrote that it "increases the strategic value of domestic projects, supports capital formation in U.S. jurisdictions, and reinforces the idea that future copper supply will need to come from stable, politically aligned regions." Streetwise Reports also outlined details related to management, advisory personnel, and technical oversight. The article stated that the management team combined "capital markets experience with deep technical and operational expertise in copper exploration and development." It also stated that the company had approximately 105 million shares outstanding and roughly 123.4 million shares fully diluted based on the most recent disclosure. In the technical analysis section of the report, Newell wrote that after a correction and consolidation period during 2025, "price appears to be breaking out of a triangle pattern over the descending trendline, supported by improving volume and momentum." He identified "approximately CA$0.45" as initial resistance, followed by technical targets near "CA$0.75" and "CA$1.40." The report also stated that "a successful breakout and continuation could ultimately support a longer-term target near CA$2.75." [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11069] The February 11 report concluded by stating that " [Copper One Resources] remains a speculative buy."

According to the materials, a multi-phase drilling program was conducted between 2020 and 2025, including a 2025 Phase 1 program that completed five drill holes totaling 5,484.5 feet. The drilling program included follow-up and extension holes based on prior exploration campaigns, as well as a fifth drill hole targeting a resistivity anomaly identified through AI-assisted modeling. The company stated that the drilling was designed to test deeper mineralized zones and previously identified targets. Core samples from the drilling program were processed and submitted for analysis. The company also disclosed individual drill hole depths from the 2025 Phase 1 program, including 889.5 feet for hole MHB-32, 936 feet for hole MHB-33, and 1,963 feet for hole MHB-34. Additional exploration work at Majuba Hill included geological mapping, sampling, and geophysical targeting methods. Investor materials also stated that the company held a 20% interest in the Friday Gold Project in Idaho. Historical resource estimates from a 2013 technical report indicated resources of 647,000 ounces of gold and inferred resources of 590,000 ounces, based on approximately 30,480 meters of drilling. The company stated that samples from recent drilling programs were processed at its facility in Elko, Nevada, before being sent to ALS Labs for analysis. Exploration activities described in the materials included drilling, geophysical surveys, and geological studies aimed at expanding known mineralization zones. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership and Share Structure2</h2> Roughly 15.1% of Giant Mining's shares are held by insiders, while the rest are owned by retail investors.

(ZAU:TSX.V; ZAU:XFRA; ZAUIF:OTCQB)</a> reported <a href="https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/298759" target="_blank" rel="noopener">significant drill results</a> on May 26, 2026, confirming positive trenching results that confirm a new priority target at its ongoing exploration of the Ben Ben to Youth Camp area of its Todi Gold project in Libera. Broad intercepts from trenching have delineated a high-priority 700-meter-long and up to 56-meter-wide northwest-trending zone on the Ben Ben North area, with potential for extension in both directions. Standout results of 56m at 0.40 g/t Au (gold) with multiple samples above 1g/t Au caused Zodiac to immediately mobilize for at-depth testing of the following trenches: <ul> <li>Trench BBT004: 56m at 0.40 g/t Au, including 1m at 1.21 g/t Au, 1m at 1.17 g/t Au, 1m at 1.09 g/t Au, and 1m at 1.01 g/t Au.</li> <li>Trench BBT009: 54m at 0.20 g/t Au.</li> <li>Trench BBT010: 26m at 0.28 g/t Au, including 1m at 1.59 g/t Au, and 6m at 0.28 g/t Au.</li> <li>Trench BBT012: 21m at 0.26 g/t Au and 30m at 0.22 g/t Au.</li> </ul> The Ben Ben results enhance the potential for a district-scale gold system along the 16km Arthington to Youth Camp areas (now called the Monterra Trend), which already includes 37 of 39 drill holes in the Arthington discovery where gold has been intersected. The continuous zones encountered higher-grade mineralization at surface and could represent an upper expression of higher-grade, robust, hydrothermal mineralized system at depth. The company's press release said: "The new northwest-trending mineralized zone identified in trenching, with a strike length of 700m within the Monterra Trend, and consists of weathered amphibolite and gneiss units dipping south to southwest, reinforcing the interpretation that Ben Ben North shares the same geological setting as the Ben Ben South area and the Arthington discovery. These host rocks are known to be highly prospective, and the extensive, deep-seated shearing of the regional-scale Todi Shear Zone has optimized the interaction of gold-rich fluids with the amphibolite and gneiss package found along the overall 16km trend." Ben Ben South continues to be drilled by a second drill rig, where broad mineralized zones have also been found. David Kol, CEO of Zodiac, said, "Following the announcement of our initial drilling results in the Ben Ben South area, delineating another target with a strike length of 700 meters and widths up to 56 meters provides us with an excellent starting point for drilling in the Ben Ben North area. What is particularly encouraging is the scale and continuity of the mineralization we are seeing at surface. These broad mineralized zones show the potential for a large hydrothermal system and may represent the upper expression of higher-grade mineralization at depth." Kol went on to say, "The consistency of mineralization across multiple trenches, combined with higher-grade intervals within the broader envelopes, gives us increasing confidence that we are defining a significant district-scale gold system. With two rigs active and the potential to add a third, our 2026 program is designed to systematically test the Monterra Trend across the 16-kilometer corridor from Arthington to Youth Camp. First holes at Ben Ben North are underway, follow-up drilling continues at Ben Ben South, and complementary drone magnetic and LiDAR data will refine targeting on the remaining drill-ready areas. With steady news flow expected through the balance of the year, we believe the coming months will be a defining period for the Todi Gold Project."

American strikes on Iranian territory are partially responsible for the slight decline of this safe-haven asset, pushing Brent crude oil prices higher and spiking inflation worries over U.S. interest rates. An end to the Iran-U.S. conflict would be welcome news for investors who have been watching the market bounce up and down for the first few months of 2026, but the market seems resilient.

Despite the volatility of gold, the sector as a whole is only showing signs of improvement.

Those drill results provided "exceptional" results for its Plomosas silver project in Sinaloa, Mexico, according to the company, and the company has since received official notification from Mexico's Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (SEMARNAT) that production of a new Manifestación de Impacto Ambiental (MIA), an Environmental Impact Authorization, for the former Plomosas Mine will not be required. Due to existing infrastructure and the company's plans to modernize it, GR Silver can proceed with its Bulk Sampling Test Mining (BSTM) plans without having to produce a new MIA. The secondary permitting required is in process. GR Silver received a five-year drill permit from SEMARNAT last year, allowing the company to pursue additional step-out and exploration drilling in the San Marcial area of the Plomosas project. At the time, interim CEO and president Eric Zaunscherb said, "It is essential that the company maintain the trust of regulators at the State and Federal levels of Government as we advance the Plomosas Silver Project. The achievement of this most recent milestone is evidence that GR Silver Mining's permitting team is successfully doing so and delivering progress on behalf of shareholders. We are getting things done." The Plomosas project holds the potential to be a high-grade silver producer located along the southwestern edge of the Sierra Madre Occidental, at the border of Sinaloa and Durango, Mexico. The project covers 7,823 hectares and includes the historical Plomosas underground mine, containing ". . . intermediate to low-sulfidation epithermal silver and gold mineralization, hosted in hydrothermal breccias and veins. Wide, high-grade, shallow hydrothermal breccias have been delineated in the San Marcial Area, including the SE Area discovery," <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!GRSL-3823288/C/GRSL" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the company</a>. Three rigs are currently drilling the 20,000-meter San Marcial step-out program, while a principal secondary road from Durango is being upgraded to optimize supply and shipping. The GR Silver is exploring locations to install a pilot plant and is fully funded for all planned programs. GR Silver Mining Ltd. is a Canadian exploration company focused on silver-gold resource expansion in Mexico. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Silver Demand Set to Grow</h2> After news of a 60-day ceasefire extension between the U.S. and Iran, <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/silver-prices-today-friday-may-29-2026-silver-prices-open-higher-after-news-of-truce-extension-with-iran-110519843.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">silver futures opened higher at US$76.02 on the morning of May 29</a>, 2026, up 4.6% from the opening price on May 28.

With its industrial usage, silver is more than a speculative buy. Higher demand from electric cars, solar panels, data centers, and more is shoring up silver's future demand. <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/silver-price-predictions-what-should-investors-expect-over-the-next-decade-130000645.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yahoo Finance</a> quoted experts from both BlackRock and J.P. Morgan as saying, " By the end of 2026, experts predict silver's price will surpass US$80 per ounce, and it could reach US$100 per ounce by 2030." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analysts Note Positive Upside</h2> Stuart McDougall for Research Capital gave the company a "Speculative Buy" rating on May 20, 2026, with a price target of CA$0.70. McDougall noted, "We reiterate our SPECULATIVE BUY recommendation and target price of CA$0.70/share, based on our in situ approach, whereby we value the project's total contained silver at US$4/oz, then adjusted for options, warrants, and our equity finance assumptions." On May 21, 2026, Red Cloud's Ron Stewart weighed in, calling GR Silver's latest news "very positive" despite withholding a rating or target price. Stewart looked toward future drill results, saying, "GR Silver continues to trade at a discount compared to its peers, at an EV/oz AgEq (silver equivalent) of US$1.06 vs its peers at US$2.06. We believe the stock could re-rate should GR Silver successfully establish the continuity of this high-grade epithermal zone in the SE direction."

Butler wrote, "In plain terms, this clears the path for GR Silver to advance its Bulk Sampling Test Mining program without producing a new MIA, with only secondary permitting now required and already in process." Butler continued: "The SEMARNAT decision is a genuine catalyst, removing a potentially lengthy permitting hurdle and bringing the Bulk Sampling Test Mining program much closer to reality. Combined with three active rigs, a fully funded program, and a resource update and PEA on the horizon for H2 2026, GR Silver is advancing on multiple fronts simultaneously." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Year-Long Drill Program</h2> GR Silver is targeting completion of its drill program in 2H 2026 and plans to follow with an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).

(MTA:TSX.V; MTA:NYSE American) reported first-quarter results ever-so-slightly below some estimates, largely because of lower deliverables from the Endeavor Mine in Australia. The company reiterated its full-year guidance, however, emphasizing again that its production would be back-end weighted due to mine ramp ups. The balance sheet improved slightly, with increased cash of $10 million, against $12.3 drawn on its credit facility. G&A costs are expected to be a little lower this year than last. In what could be a major development for Metalla's near-term revenue growth, IAMGOLD Corp. (IMG:TSX; IAG:NYSE)said it would release a study in the fourth quarter outlining an enlarged Côté pit to encompass the adjacent Gosselin deposit, over which most of Metalla's royalty lays, thus bring forward revenue. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">Look at Long-Term Growth Assets, Rather than Current Revenue</h2> As we have emphasized many times, our thesis on Metalla depends not on current or even near-term cash flow but on royalties on large-scale, long-duration assets that are not scheduled to commence production for several years, including most notably Taca-Taca as well as Gosselin, Vizcachitas, NuevaUnion, plus Castle Mountain, and Wasamac. These assets are not receiving appropriate value in the NAV assessments by brokerage firms (that focus on discount future cash flow), and even less so in the market. Metalla is selling well under one times a proper NAV, and that is why we are accumulating it consistently. As current mines (such as Tocantinzinho) reach full production levels, and new mines (such as Amalgamated Kirkland) come on stream (with initial revenue as early at this quarter), plus these large projects get closer to production, your opportunity to buy Metalla as a discount will disappear. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">New Director, and Tether Ups Its Stake Again</h2> Two other recent developments are noteworthy. First, Tether amended its 13D filing to show an 11% stake in Metalla. It previous reported at the end of March a 10% holding. As a 13D filer, indicating a possible intention to use its shareholding to influence the company (rather than a passive investment, Tether must update its filing with every one percentage point move in its holdings. We have discussed the ramifications and possible outcomes of this stake previously. However, unless Tether decided to sell its stake–which seems highly unlikely–but rather continues to steady purchase shares, then at minimum, their involvement gives us downside protection. Separately, Sandeep Singh, former CEO of Osisko Royalties, has been nominated for the board at next month's meeting. He will bring not only two decades of experience in the mining and particularly royalty sector, as well as deep capital markets experience, but also a strength and independence that will help the company. We urge you strongly to vote in favor on your proxy. At today's price, Metalla is a steal for any investor with even a modicum of patience. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">First-Quarter Gold Company Results Were Strong</h2> Not surprisingly, given the higher commodity prices, gold and resource companies reported record revenues for the first quarter. The gold price averged $4,875, up from $4,135 the prior quarter, while the average silver price jumped from $55.20 to over $84. Many companies also reported higher production and growth ahead; many had pre-released production, meaning the financial results released over the past two weeks were largely as expected. Most reiterated guidance, which many stated would be weighted to the second half of the year. For most, costs remained under control, though many warned of higher costs ahead. We see a tug-of-war between bearish short-term factors, including continuation of the war in Iran with its high oil price and a new focus on controlling inflation among major central banks, and bullish longer-term factors. These latter include ongoing buying from central banks (up again in the first quarter) and Tether amid concern about global fiscal deficits. Because of this, and given we already are well exposed to gold stocks, we are being somewhat cautious in new buying, though the underinvested can buy. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">Franco's Royalty Ounces Up, as It Eyes Major Acquisitions</h2> Franco-Nevada Corp. (FNV:TSX; FNV:NYSE) saw increased GEOs in the first quarter (up 8% year on year), as well as, of course, higher realized prices, leading to another record quarter. Higher oil prices at the end of the quarter helped. During the quarter, it closed three meaningful transactions, including $250 million royalty on i-80's Nevada assets. CEO Paul Brink, however, strongly hinted that the company is also looking at much larger transactions. Franco closed the quarter with available liquidity of $3.4 billion, including $715 million in cash and $1.1 billion in equities, the vast majority of which were part of royalty or stream transactions. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">Is Cobre Panama Discounted in Stock Price?</h2> Although Franco sports multiples that appear high, it is trading now closer to the low end of its historical range. Its price-to-cash flow multiple, for example, stands at 25 times, relative to its 10-year low of 20 times, and high of 46 times. The market is expecting the Cobre Panama stream to resume, so there is some risk if the restart is delayed, but clearly, looking at valuation, it is not in the stock price now. At current prices, it would represent about 18% of NAV, so there is a meaningful upside potential when it restarts. David Harquail stepped down as chairman and will be named Chair Emeritus alongside Pierre Lassonde. He served as CEO for 13 years, and prior to that, headed the Redstone base metals subsidiary of Franco. His place as chairman will be taken by Tom Albanese, who has been a board member for 13 years after stepping down as CEO of Rio Tinto. We continue to assert that if one could only own one gold stock, Franco would be the one. It is a core holding for us, with strong management, a solid balance sheet, and broad diversification in both revenue sources and non-producing assets. It can be bought here. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">Strong Quarter at Barrick but Execution Risks Ahead</h2> Barrick Mining Corp. (ABX:TSX; B:NYSE) results were no significant surprise, since partners, notably Newmont Corp. (NEM:NYSE; NGT:TSX; NEM:ASX), had already reported on many of its key assets. Production, however, was meaningfully higher than previous expectations and guidance, with costs lower than prior quarters (AISC at $1,708). Barrick maintained its new dividend policy (50% of free cash flow) and announced a new $3 billion buyback share program. The company reiterated its goal of an IPO of its North American assets by year end, and though it said it was working with Newmont (its joint venture partner on most of these assets), it asserted a right to proceed unilaterally. We are concerned that the IPO will not have an easy path, and may not even daylight the value as Barrick is anticipating given such a small portion of the assets will be separately listed while Barrick will retain control. Hold. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">Agnico Executes Well and Increases Investment Pace</h2> Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM:TSX; AEM:NYSE) reported more-or-less as expected, reiterating backend weighted full-year guidance. The company ended the quarter with $3.1 billion cash and $200,000 in debt, after repurchasing $150 million in shares. It plans additional buybacks to negate the dilutive effect of its acquisition of Rupert (see Bulletin 1007). The company indicated it intends to continue to grow, saying it would invest over $10 billion in its Ontario properties by the end of the decade. A decision on Hope Bay in Nunavut is expected by the end of the month, while it is advancing the San Nicolas project in Mexico. Agnico is the gold-standard of mining companies, with top management, strong operations, low political risk, and a deep pipeline. The stock has dopped from a February high over $252, and can be bought here. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">Pan American Increases Silver Profile</h2> Pan American Silver Corp. (PAAS:TSX; PAAS:NYSE) reported as expected and reiterated guidance, though capex will be larger now that the La Colorada Skarn deposit has been given the go-ahead, albeit on a somewhat reduced scale (see Bulletin 1004). The project, which will represent about 5% of company NAV, promises significant cash flow as well as meaningfully increasing the company's silver exposure. Overall costs were low, with the silver mines AISC just $6.63, though benefitting from gold by-product at those mines. For the gold mines, AISC was $1,851, inline with expectations. The company is now targeting $700 million in share purchases over the coming year, dramatically up from the $25 million repurchased in the first quarter. Hold. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">Fortuna Continues to Execute</h2> Fortuna Mining Corp. (FSM:NYSE; FVI:TSX; FVI:BVL; F4S:FSE) reported production in line with expectations, but with pre-tax costs lower than expected. Cash increased at quarter end to almost $666 million following the repurchase of $24.5 million worth of shares. Fortuna is our favorite intermediate producer, with strong, disciplined management, a rock solid balance sheet, strong operations with built-in growth, yet it continues to trade at a discount to peers. It is a Strong Buy here. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">Wheaton Had Strong Quarter, With Manageable Debt</h2> Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (WPM:TSX; WPM:NYSE) reported better-than-expected production, led by Salobo and Antamina. It reiterated its full-year and five-year guidance (50% growth by 2030). It ended the quarter with $2.2 billion in cash and no debt, but following quarter end, made $4.5 billion in stream payments, overwhelming for the new Antamina stream, so is now in a net debt position. However, with free cash flow of over $700 million in the first quarter, Wheaton can look to pay this down comfortably. Hold. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">Royal Had Mixed Results as It Pays Down Debt</h2> Royal Gold Inc. (RGLD:NASDAQ) had a mixed quarter, with earnings broadly in line, though a capital call on the Hod Maden project in Turkey led to a free cash flow miss. It is tracking well on its guidance. After using its credit facility for the large Kansanshi acquisition last summer, Royal continues to pay down debt, repaying $375 million year to date. It announced a $500 million share repurchase program, following a large increase in shares following the Sandstorm acquisition last summer; the company said this would be used opportunistically. Royal has strong management, a little more willing to pay up than some other large royalty companies, but with more leverage to higher prices than others. There is growth in the pipeline, with guidance for 2030 GEOs just shy of 500,000 ounces, but potential for upside. Royal is trading at a lower valuation than the other large royalty companies, and can be bought here, particularly if you do not own it. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">OR Had Strong Quarter, With Upside Ahead</h2> OR Royalties (OR:TSX; OR:NYSE) reported earnings above expectations after pre-reporting GEO sales. It ended the quarter with $95 million in cash and an undrawn credit facility of $650 million, though last month a new $168 million acquisition was financed from the credit facility. It bought back $13 million in shares in the first quarter and boosted is dividend (by 18%). Separately, Malaysian miner Boroo entered into a 90-day exclusivity period with regard to a potential purchase of the former Eagle Gold Mine in the Yukon, which was closed after a heap-leach failure. OR has a 5% royalty of the mine, now representing about 1% of its NAV. If the sale goes ahead, the mine could be restarted before the end of the decade. It is somewhat surprising that a larger, or Canadian firm did not purchase the mine, though if it goes ahead it is nothing but upside for OR. We like OR for its disciplined management and built-in growth. If you do not own, you can take an initial position now. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">Strong Quarter for Triple Flag</h2> Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. (TFPM:TSX; TFPM:NYSE) reported financials as expected after pre-releasing GEOs for a strong quarter. Costs were down, as the company re-iterated its full-year guidance. It ended the quarter with $144 million in cash and an undrawn $700 million revolver, so is in a strong position for new acquisitions. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">Hold.</h2> <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">Altius Shows Strong Growth Potential Ahead</h2> Altius Minerals Corp. (ALS:TSX)reported financials slightly higher than expected, mostly due to interest and investment income, after pre-releasing royalty revenue (see Bulletin 1007). Iron ore revenue was down, but that is because of large-scale capital expenditures, reinvesting in mines that had been subject to underinvestment. The company ended the quarter with C$128 million in cash and long-term debt of C$87 million after another small ($2 million) reduction in debt. It also holds about $220 million in equity, two-thirds of it shares of Labrador Iron Ore Trust, which, though not for intended for sale, does strengthen the balance sheet. The company stepped up its share buybacks, repurchasing almost C$10 million in shares. After the quarter ended, it received an anticipated distribution of US$30.5 million in connection with its acquisition of Lithium Royalty Corp. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">Embedded Growth in Copper, Renewables, Potash and Gold</h2> In comments on the quarterly analyst call as well as the AGM, CEO Brian Dalton said that revenue growth was embedded in the company's current assets, looking at revenues to more than double by 2030 based on current commodity prices. Among other sectors with strong growth ahead, the renewable business "was at the launch point" due to increased demand from power from the U.S. with increased opportunities for late-stage development assets due to less competition from financing sources. Dalton said that although the company was looking at many opportunities, "if we have to sit on cash for a while, we have done it before." Altius is a core holding for us, bringing broad exposure to the commodities complex, top disciplined management, a good balance sheet, and plenty of upside leverage on top of dependable cash flow. If you do not own it, you can take an initial position at this price, down from a high earlier in the month over $57. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">Revenue Up for Orogen, Despite Lower Royalty Ounces</h2> Orogen Royalties Inc. (OGN:TSXV; OGNNF:OTC) reported full-year net income of $7.1 million, up 60% from 2024, despite royalty ounces falling 16%. Royalty revenue was still up over 20% due to higher commodity prices, while prospect generation activities brought in $3 million, more than double the prior year. Separately, Orogen named Chad Wells to its board of directors. This is a strong addition. Chad, formerly in charge of the PG portfolio at Altius, bringd years of experience across various resources and in the junior space. Buy. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">Ares Differentiates Itself From Other BDCs</h2> Ares Capital Corp. (ARCC:NASDAQ) demonstrated again why it is the BDC of choice. Although earnings were down, as was the NAV and the overall credit ratings in the portfolio, it was all by modest levels. Earnings fell mostly because of lower market interest rates and narrower spreads. Ares continues to more than earn its dividend, with spillover income equivalent to nearly three quarters of dividend payments, while its non-accruals are well below its own historical level as well as the BDC average. It has low leverage of 1.1 times, with $6 billion available for new investments. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]" style="text-align: center;">Are Software Companies at Risk?</h2> Given widespread concern about the potential negative effects of AI on the software industry, Ares commissioned an independent study to assess the potential effects on its portfolio companies. It found the risk was relatively limited, with 85% of exposure "low risk" and only 0.3% of the software portfolio at "high risk". This study followed a similar in-depth look at every company in the portfolio to access the potential impact of tariffs. CEO Kort Schnabel noted that Ares had done a lot of work on companies in its portfolio and had been very transparent. Schnabel noted that discussions with potential borrowers had picked up again, and spreads started to widen as there was less competition right now. He did not venture how long this improved situation might last, but emphasized that Ares was in a very strong position to make investments. With a yield over 10% and a small discount to book, Ares is trading at its lowest valuations since the depths of covid, and before that the Great Financial Crisis. For investors looking for above-average income for the long-term, Ares is a solid choice. TOP BUYS this week, in addition to the above, include Midland Exploration Inc.

(TSXV: GWM; OTCQB: GAYMF) reported a newly defined 6-kilometer target corridor at its Clarence Stream Gold Project.<a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/pub/co/517?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galway Metals Inc. (GWM:TSX.V; GAYMF:OTCQB)</a> reported<a href="https://galwaymetalsinc.com/2026/05/galway-metals-district-scale-geophysics-defines-high-priority-target-corridor-between-clarence-streams-two-largest-gold-deposits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> a</a><a href="https://galwaymetalsinc.com/2026/05/galway-metals-district-scale-geophysics-defines-high-priority-target-corridor-between-clarence-streams-two-largest-gold-deposits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> newly interpreted 6-kilometer target corridor between the South and Southwest deposits at its Clarence Stream Gold Project based on preliminary results from its 2026 airborne geophysical program.</a> According to the company, the HeliTEM, Resolve 5, and magnetic surveys enhanced its understanding of the geological structures controlling gold mineralization and identified an exploration target corridor between the South and Southwest deposits. Preliminary interpretation identified a conductive graphitic horizon associated with known gold mineralization, which the company said provides a regional marker for tracing structural trends. The interpretation also highlighted additional conductive features, structural breaks, and potential offsets of known mineralized trends that may represent future drill targets across the broader Clarence Stream gold system. The company reported that preliminary airborne geophysics supports the interpretation that the South and Southwest deposits may occur along opposing limbs of a regional-scale fold structure. Galway stated that the known deposits and interpreted target corridor define more than six kilometers of prospective strike length between the two deposits. <a href="https://galwaymetalsinc.com/2026/05/galway-metals-district-scale-geophysics-defines-high-priority-target-corridor-between-clarence-streams-two-largest-gold-deposits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rob Hinchcliffe, President and CEO of Galway Metals, stated in the announcement,</a> "Our first hole into the South-Limb Target Trend has now been completed and encountered the geology we were hoping to see, including multiple quartz veins with visually identified arsenopyrite and alteration consistent with our exploration model." Galway said drilling has commenced along the South-Limb Target Trend, which was generated from the preliminary airborne geophysical interpretation. The target area is located between the South and Southwest deposits and is interpreted to represent a structural corridor associated with the Clarence Stream gold system. The first drill hole in the South-Limb Target Trend was completed to a depth of 440 meters near the midpoint of the interpreted corridor. The company reported that the hole encountered conglomerate, hydrothermal alteration, and swarms of quartz veins with sulphide mineralization visually identified as arsenopyrite. Quartz-vein swarms were observed at several locations downhole, including at approximately 197 meters and 330 metersroximately 197 meters and 330 meters. Galway stated that the core has been logged and sampled and that assays are pending. The company cautioned that visual observations of quartz veining, alteration, and sulphide mineralization are preliminary and are not necessarily indicative of gold grade or economic mineralization. It stated that assay results are required to determine the presence, grade, and significance of gold mineralization. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Central Bank Buying and Mining Margins Remain Key Themes in Gold Market Commentary</h2> <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-05-27/gold-will-top-5500-2027-could-reach-10000-2030-silvers-upside-will-narrow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a May 25 Reuters report, gold prices rose as lower oil prices and a weaker U.S. dollar supported bullion markets</a>. Reuters reported that spot gold gained 1.5% to US$4,574.17 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures for June delivery increased 1.2% to US$4,576.00. The report also noted that equities moved higher while oil prices fell below US$100 per barrel and reached two-week lows. UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo told Reuters that "Financial assets are strongly influenced by oil prices at present, and gold prices are not an exception." Staunovo added that "Lower oil prices lift gold, in anticipation that it impacts the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve," and said he expected the trend to continue in the near term. Reuters reported that gold had fallen about 14% from late February levels amid higher energy prices, inflation concerns, and expectations for increased U.S. interest rates. The report also stated that traders were pricing in a 40% probability of a 25-basis-point Federal Reserve rate increase in December. <a href="http://www.321gold.com/editorials/thomson_s/thomson_s_052626.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a commentary published on May 26, Stewart Thomson described gold as being in a consolidation period following previous gains against fiat currencies</a>. Thomson wrote that "many more beatings on fiat by the world's currency queen lie ahead, but a lull in the action is the current theme and… It's healthy." He also stated that "it's critical for gold bugs to stay focused on the big picture, and to understand that gold is not a 'hottie stock'." Thomson wrote that leveraged futures traders continued to monitor geopolitical conflicts, oil prices, inflation, and interest rates. He also noted that investor sentiment remained muted, stating that "periods where morale is subdued coincide with the BPGDM trading under 50." <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/off-the-wire/2026-05-25/gold-climbs-middle-east-peace-hopes-push-oil-and-dollar-lower" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a May 27 Kitco News report, Rockefeller Global Investment Management macro and market strategist Doug Moglia said precious metals had led the broader commodity rally</a>. Moglia stated, "Precious metals have been the leader, with gold up 92% and silver more than doubling (+152%) since the start of 2025." Moglia also highlighted continued central bank demand for gold, noting that "the result was three straight years of over 1,000 tonnes of gold purchased by global central banks between 2022-2024, representing roughly 20-25% of annual global mine production." He added that gold had become "noticeably less sensitive to its traditional cyclical drivers." The Kitco report stated that Moglia viewed gold as remaining in a longer-term secular bull market. He said, "We believe gold entered its third secular bull market in 2022," and added that "gold remains a secular anchor to portfolios." Moglia also discussed mining equities, stating that "gold and silver miners offer leveraged upside with improved carry." He further noted that operating margins for the gold and silver miner index were "near 40%, the highest level since 2011," while major mining companies were expected to generate approximately US$20 billion in free cash flow during 2025. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Maintains Buy Rating Ahead of Resource Update and Economic Study</h2> <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/05/15/gold-explorer-finds-excellent-high-grade-gold-targets-big-gains.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a May 14 report from Red Cloud Securities, analyst Ron Stewart reviewed results from seven diamond drill holes at the Southwest deposit of the Clarence Stream gold project in New Brunswick</a>. Stewart wrote that the drilling in the northeastern section of the deposit returned "consistent high-grade mineralization," including an intercept grading 20.7 grams per tonne gold over 11 meters in hole CL-249. Stewart noted that the company had completed approximately 70,000 meters of drilling across the North, South, and Southeast deposits since the previous mineral resource estimate. He wrote that the drilling campaign had "reinforced the continuity of high-grade mineralization" and identified 12 additional high-priority targets. The report stated that a district-scale geophysical program was underway, including Resolve EM and HeliTEM EM surveys designed to identify targets beyond the project's three main deposits. Stewart noted that the Clarence Stream project covered approximately 65 kilometers of a prospective structural corridor and wrote that "several regional targets have exhibited stronger anomalies than those within the resource area." Regarding upcoming milestones, Stewart wrote that an updated mineral resource estimate was expected by mid-2026, followed by a Preliminary Economic Assessment by year-end. He also noted that the Southwest deposit hosted 70% of the project's current resources and that metallurgical testing had demonstrated recoveries of up to 98%, while preliminary antimony recoveries had also reached up to 98%. Stewart maintained a Buy rating and a CA$2.20 per share target price on the company. He wrote, "We maintain our BUY rating and CA$2.20/share target price for the stock." Stewart added, "We value Galway using the in-situ Ev/oz value of US$65/oz applied to ounces at Clarence Stream and Estrades (and) believe that positive exploration and development updates should drive the stock in the near-term."

Galway stated that these features may represent additional exploration opportunities. The company reported that its geophysical consultants are continuing to refine and interpret the preliminary dataset through additional processing and integration with drilling, geology, soil geochemistry, and known mineralized trends. As interpretation progresses, Galway said it plans to prioritize additional drill-ready targets across the Clarence Stream Project. According to the company, the preliminary results are supporting its geological and structural understanding of the Clarence Stream gold system and are expected to enhance targeting across the project's approximately 65-kilometer prospective trend. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership and Share Structure1</h2> Insiders hold 7.31% of Galway, including 6.62% held by CEO Rob Hinchcliffe.

(GRBM:CSE; GBMCF:OTC; J48:FWB) reported initial assays from its Titac South property, including broad copper-bearing intervals and results from three completed holes.<a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/pub/co/11448?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Bridge Metals Corp. (GRBM:CSE; GBMCF:OTC; J48:FWB)</a> reported <a href="https://greenbridgemetals.com/news/green-bridge-metals-reports-initial-assays-from-drill-program" target="_blank" rel="noopener">initial assay results from its Phase 1 diamond drill program at Titac South, located within the company's South Contact District in northeastern Minnesota.</a> The company completed six diamond core drill holes in the Phase 1 program at Titac South. According to the announcement, assay results from the first three holes confirmed broad intervals of copper mineralization associated with the Oxide Ultramafic Intrusions (OUI). Assays from the remaining three holes, including a step-out hole targeting a previously untested geophysical anomaly, remain pending. Initial results from the first three holes indicated the presence of copper, titanium dioxide, vanadium pentoxide, and platinum group elements within the OUI. Green Bridge reported that drill hole TS26-005 returned 152 meters grading 0.31% copper, 13.7% titanium dioxide, and 0.15% vanadium pentoxide. Drill hole TS26-003 returned 190 meters grading 0.30% copper, 11.4% titanium dioxide, and 0.13% vanadium pentoxide, including 14 meters grading 0.48% copper, 13.8% titanium dioxide, and 0.13% vanadium pentoxide. Drill hole TS26-002a returned 54 meters grading 0.20% copper, 9.3% titanium dioxide, and 0.10% vanadium pentoxide. Green Bridge stated that all six holes completed in the Phase 1 Titac South program intersected observable sulphide mineralization over broad downhole intervals within the OUI. <a href="https://greenbridgemetals.com/news/green-bridge-metals-reports-initial-assays-from-drill-program" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Suda, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated in the news release</a>, "We have completed the full six-hole program at Titac and sulphide mineralization has been observed in core from every drill hole to date." He added that, "The broad intervals of copper mineralization within the Oxide Ultramafic Intrusion support our geological model and suggest that mineralization may potentially extend beyond the currently tested area." The Titac property forms part of the company's South Contact Zone Project in the Duluth Complex of northeastern Minnesota. Green Bridge noted that the project hosts an inferred mineral resource estimate at Titac South of 46.6 million tonnes grading 15% titanium dioxide, as outlined in a National Instrument 43-101 technical report with an effective date of Sept. 18, 2024. <h2 style="text-align: center;" data-section-id="xozlou" data-start="0" data-end="51">Copper Market Conditions and Data Center Demand</h2> <a href="https://www.reuters.com/commentary/reuters-open-interest/copper-braces-another-round-us-tariff-roulette-2026-05-28/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reuters columnist Andy Home reported on May 28 that the copper market had entered "a state of nervous anticipation"</a> ahead of a U.S. decision regarding potential tariffs on refined copper imports expected by the end of June. According to Reuters, a widening premium between CME copper contracts and London Metal Exchange pricing had encouraged additional shipments of copper into the United States, reducing availability in other markets. Reuters reported that U.S. refined copper imports reached 533,000 tons during the first quarter of 2026, more than double the level recorded a year earlier, citing data from the World Bureau of Metal Statistics. The report also stated that CME copper inventories totaled 577,385 tons, representing 44% of global exchange inventories, while additional supplies had been moved to U.S. ports. Home wrote that the United States had "over the last year or so built up its own strategic copper reserve thanks to the on-again, off-again threat of tariffs." The Reuters report further noted that the U.S. copper import dependency rate had increased to 57% from 45% in 2024, according to data from the United States Geological Survey. Reuters stated that the objective of potential tariffs had been to "reinvigorate U.S. production capacity," while noting that the country currently operated two primary copper smelters. <a href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/copper-data-centers-market-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Separately, Grand View Research estimated the global copper-in-data-centers market at US$1.6 billion in 2025</a> and projected growth from US$1.8 billion in 2026 to US$4.6 billion by 2033, representing a compound annual growth rate of 14.4%. The firm reported that North America accounted for 41.4% of market revenue in 2025. Grand View Research stated that demand had been supported by "the rapid expansion of hyperscale and colocation data centers, increasing deployment of AI-focused computing infrastructure, and rising demand for high-performance cloud services globally." The report also cited "technological advancements in hyperscale computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and high-density server architecture" as factors influencing market growth. According to the report, copper played "a critical role in enabling energy-efficient electrical transmission and thermal management systems within data centers due to its high conductivity, recyclability, and durability." Grand View Research also stated that growing adoption of liquid cooling systems, advanced thermal management infrastructure, and edge computing facilities had continued to increase demand for copper-intensive electrical and networking systems. The firm reported that power infrastructure represented 47.3% of market revenue in 2025, while the cooling systems segment was projected to expand at a 16.3% compound annual growth rate during the forecast period. Separately, Chen Lin of What Is Chen Buying? What Is Chen Selling? wrote on May 28 that copper continued to present "the strongest setup" among the metals he follows. Lin stated, "I am mostly in the copper future as it has the strongest setup," while adding that he had not yet heard of copper production declines resulting from sulfuric acid shortages. He also commented that summer could be a "boring period" as many traders followed a "sell in May and walk away" strategy. <h2 style="text-align: center;" data-section-id="dubofk" data-start="110" data-end="193">Third-Party Coverage Highlights Drilling Program and Critical Minerals Exposure</h2> 1<a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/02/04/a-north-american-critical-minerals-setup-to-watch-as-copper-policy-turns-supportive.html?m_t=2026_02_04_14_28_53&utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On February 4, John Newell of John Newell & Associates discussed Green Bridge Metals in a technical analysis focused on U.S. critical minerals development.</a> Newell wrote that the company was assembling a North American portfolio targeting copper, nickel, titanium, vanadium, and other critical minerals, with a strategy centered on advancing projects supported by existing infrastructure and historical geological datasets. Referring to the company's Minnesota assets, Newell stated that Green Bridge was "designed for exactly this kind of moment" as interest in domestic critical mineral supply chains increased. He also highlighted the start of drilling at Titac South, writing that the company had "now commenced diamond core drilling at the Titac South, targeting copper mineralization associated with the same intrusive package that already hosts a titanium dioxide resource." Newell noted that the Phase 1 program consisted of six diamond drill holes totaling approximately 1,800 meters. In his conclusion, he maintained a "Speculative Buy" rating on the company and identified a technical resistance level near CA$0.40. In a March 26 contributed opinion, Michael Ballanger of GGM Advisory Inc. revisited Green Bridge Metals after the company was added to the firm's coverage list following participation in a November financing completed at CA$0.09 per unit with a CA$0.12 half-warrant and CA$0.12 per unit with a CA$0.15 half-warrant. Ballanger noted that the shares had subsequently closed at CA$0.23 and wrote, "I really like this company and see a bright future for it." Ballanger also discussed observations from the company's drilling program, noting that "the presence of ilmenite in core samples increases the likelihood of a significant titanium component, which is important." He described titanium as a silver-white transition metal that is as strong as steel while being nearly 45% lighter. According to Ballanger, titanium is valued for its corrosion resistance and biocompatibility and is used in applications including jet engines, airframes, spacecraft, dental implants, joint replacements, surgical instruments, desalination facilities, chemical processing equipment, and marine applications. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/04/27/copper-actually-is-the-new-silver.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to an April 27 update from Ballanger, Green Bridge Metals was among the junior copper companies held in the firm's portfolios. </a>Ballanger wrote that "there is no bullish case that ever holds a candle against copper when it comes to the certainty of outcome" and discussed supply challenges facing the copper market, including mine closures, production disruptions, and declining output from major operations. In the same report, Ballanger stated that governments would be "forced to eliminate roadblocks that delay new exploration and development, which will favor the junior copper group far more than their senior counterparts." He wrote that this was "one of the main reasons why juniors like ... Green Bridge Metals Corp. ... are held in the GGMA portfolios with such overweight positioning." Ballanger also stated that "the senior miners are too busy with their existing operations to focus on greenfield exploration programs, which is why most, if not all, of the major new copper discoveries are made by the juniors." <h2 style="text-align: center;" data-section-id="p98i91" data-start="2403" data-end="2477">Additional Exploration Targets Identified Through Geophysical Modeling</h2> Green Bridge stated that the 2026 drilling program was designed to test the distribution of copper mineralization within the known titanium resource at Titac South and evaluate the effectiveness of 3D VTEM inversion as a targeting tool.

The Phase 1 drill program consisted of a systematic six-hole fence across Titac South, designed to verify and evaluate the presence, distribution and continuity of copper mineralization within and outside the OUI. The company also reported that a full 3D inversion of VTEM airborne geophysical data was recently completed, improving the resolution of conductive and magnetic responses across the Titac property. The inversion modeling identified four to five additional untested anomalies displaying coincident conductive and magnetic signatures consistent with known mineralized Oxide Ultramafic Intrusions at Titac South and Titac North. Green Bridge stated that drilling completed to date demonstrated alignment between the geophysical targets and observed sulphide mineralization. Assay results from the final three drill holes, including a step-out hole testing a previously untested geophysical anomaly, remain pending. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership and Share Structure2</h2> Encampment Minerals, a strategic partner and asset vendor, holds approximately 10% of Green Bridge.

(BAC:CSE; BCCEF:OTC; OBT1:FSE) updates its patents for its Zero-Tailings technology. Read how the tech can help mines leave "nothing behind."BacTech Environmental Corp. (BAC:CSE; BCCEF:OTC; OBT1:FSE) has enhanced its provisional Zero-Tailings™ patent application by integrating a two-stage concentration process aimed at boosting the production efficiency of ammonium sulphate from acidic mining-related process streams, <a href="https://www.bactechgreen.com/newsroom/bactech-updates-zero-tailings-patent-application-to-include-fertilizer-concentration-process" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the company said in a May 25 release</a>. The updated patent application now includes Reverse Osmosis (RO) for pre-concentration and Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) evaporation technologies within the Zero-Tailings™ process flowsheet. These technologies are designed to lower the energy consumption needed for ammonium sulphate crystallization and to facilitate the production of specification-grade fertilizer products. "The company believes the addition strengthens the scope of the provisional patent application by extending coverage from acidic feed streams through to ammonium sulphate recovery and crystallization," the release noted. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Reducing the Energy Demands of Fertilizer Production</h2> Many hydrometallurgical and mining operations produce acidic, iron-bearing streams that necessitate neutralization and disposal. BacTech's Zero-Tailings™ process aims to extract valuable by-products from these streams, such as ammonium sulphate, magnetite, and certain base metals. Recognizing the need for enhanced efficiency in ammonium sulphate concentration and crystallization, especially for dilute mining-derived streams, the company has incorporated RO and MVR technologies. These are well-established technologies already employed in various industrial water treatment and evaporation applications, expected to improve process efficiency and reduce the energy demands of fertilizer production. The revised provisional patent application is believed to broaden the technical scope of the Zero-Tailings™ process and supports the ongoing evaluation of its commercial viability, BacTech said. This process aims to minimize waste treatment demands while recovering valuable products from streams typically regarded as waste. The RO reject stream can be recycled back into the evaporation circuit to further reduce water consumption and maximize ammonium sulphate recovery. Additionally, the condensate from the evaporation stage is recycled, enhancing the water efficiency of the overall process—a crucial benefit for mining operations in water-scarce regions, the release said. The updated provisional patent application safeguards the entire Zero-Tailings™ flowsheet, from handling acidic waste streams to producing a marketable, specification-grade ammonium sulphate fertilizer product. Management believes that this revision could expand the process' technical scope, facilitate the evaluation of the process across a wider array of feed streams, and maintain the company's priority date as patent work progresses. This technological advancement has been made possible through research funding secured from several sources, including MIRARCO through Natural Resources Canada, the Strategic Innovation Fund via the Mining Innovation Commercialization Program, the Ontario Centre of Innovation, the Critical Minerals Innovation Fund (Ontario Ministry of Energy and Mines), the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Industrial Research Chair Program, and institutional support from Laurentian University and Cambrian College, along with industrial support from Vale Base Metals, according to the release. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Tailings Present Environmental Hazards</h2> <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/04/17/cleantech-company-advances-breakthrough-zero-tailings-patent.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BacTech announced the filing of the initial patents last month</a> for the technology in both Canada and the United States. The mining industry is notorious for generating vast amounts of tailings annually — residual slurries left after primary metals are extracted. These tailings present serious environmental hazards, such as acid mine drainage and heavy-metal contamination. BacTech's Zero Tailings™ technology is designed to eliminate these environmental risks by integrating BacTech’s established bioleaching technology with conventional downstream processing methods. This innovative process dissolves all elements in the tailings, allowing each to be recovered as a marketable product. The Zero Tailings™ technology produces four main product streams: high-purity magnetite for the steel and pigment industries, ammonium sulphate fertilizer for agriculture, critical minerals for the clean-energy and advanced-manufacturing sectors, and industrial-grade silica for construction, electronics, and specialty chemicals. MIRARCO is credited as a co-inventor of the technology. "While farmers are facing historic fertilizer costs driven by instability halfway around the world, BacTech is developing a process that produces ammonium sulphate fertilizer right here at home — from mine waste that already exists in our own backyard," BacTech President and Chief Executive Officer Ross Orr said. "That is the kind of supply chain resilience that North American agriculture urgently needs." A notable feature of the Zero Tailings™ technology is its capability to extract usable products from every element contained in the tailings, leaving no residual waste. This transformative approach not only mitigates the environmental liabilities associated with tailings but also turns them into a source of valuable resources, potentially revolutionizing the mining sector's approach to waste management. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Leaving 'Nothing Behind'</h2> BacTech's announcement comes at a critical time, the company said. The global fertilizer market is currently facing significant challenges due to the conflict in the Middle East, which has disrupted shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz. This route is essential for transporting about 30% of the world's traded fertilizer, and its disruption has led to a sharp increase in nitrogen fertilizer prices, placing considerable strain on farmers globally. BacTech's Zero Tailings™ technology presents a sustainable alternative by producing ammonium sulphate fertilizer from the treatment of sulfide and iron tailings. This process leverages naturally occurring bacteria, which is less energy-intensive compared to traditional methods, and enables the domestic production of fertilizer in North America. This independence from geopolitical tensions that disrupt global supply chains is particularly valuable, the company said. Moreover, the technology supports sustainable agricultural practices and meets the increasing demand for traceable and environmentally friendly agricultural products. According to BacTech, this could allow the product to achieve premium pricing in specialty and certified sustainable markets. Dr. Paul Miller, BacTech's Chief Technology Officer, emphasized the transformative potential of this innovation, stating, "Zero Tailings™ is exactly what its name implies — a future where mining leaves nothing behind." These developments are significant not only for their environmental implications but also because they address increasing regulatory pressures in both Canada and the U.S. These countries are imposing greater financial responsibilities on mine operators for tailings storage and environmental monitoring. BacTech said its technology, which facilitates complete materials recovery and site remediation, positions the company as a leader in ESG-compliant mining practices. It also aligns with federal initiatives aimed at securing critical minerals from existing waste streams, showcasing the broader relevance and potential impact of the Zero Tailings™ technology. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Expert: Tech Will 'One Day Pay Off'</h2> <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2025/01/06/is-ecuadors-environment-improving-at-all.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Writing for his National Investor newsletter on March 23,</a> Chris Temple noted how "one of my very favorite themes in commodities/metals is not the metals stories themselves, … but the various emerging sciences that lead to enhanced recovery of metals from old tailings, troublesome ores, etc." He continued, "I’ve long been an advocate of BacTech Environmental and its wares (which will one day pay off)." <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2025/01/06/is-ecuadors-environment-improving-at-all.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a contributed opinion piece for Streetwise Reports in 2025</a>, he noted, "To me — and having over the last year especially been close to several conferences and initiatives — the big, long-term story is going to be the inevitable, BIG adoption of technologies like BacTech's and others'. So, I'm still patient with that confidence." <h2 style="text-align: center;">'Our Bugs Eat Rocks'</h2> BacTech has been actively developing and applying its bioleaching technology for over three decades to address challenging mineral concentrates and mine waste, according to a paid research note by Crystal Research Associates. The firm did not rate the stock or provide a target price. BacTech describes its innovative approach with the phrase "our bugs eat rocks," highlighting the use of naturally occurring bacteria to oxidize sulfide minerals, liberate metals, and neutralize toxins like arsenic through a water-based process at atmospheric conditions, Crystal Research noted. Utilizing its proprietary BACOX® bioleaching technology, BacTech focuses on arsenic-rich concentrates and tailings, transforming environmental liabilities into marketable products. The company previously constructed three commercial bioleach plants for gold in Western Australia, Tasmania, and China under licensing agreements. Currently, BacTech is advancing a bioleach facility in Ecuador's Tenguel-Ponce Enríquez region, targeting refractory gold concentrates and arsenic-bearing materials. In addition to its bioleaching endeavors, BacTech is developing its "Zero Tailings™" process aimed at treating historic tailings to recover metals and co-products like iron and sulfur, while leaving behind inert silica, the research note said. This initiative is part of the company's broader strategy to establish a network of modular bioleaching and zero tailings facilities that not only clean up legacy mining waste but also generate economic returns. The company is moving forward with commercializing both its Tenguel bioleach facility and the Zero Tailings™ platform, with key milestones including securing financing for the Tenguel project and continuing to validate the Sudbury Zero Tailings™ flowsheet. Despite reporting a net loss in 2025, BacTech has reduced its total liabilities and maintains a strong technical team with extensive bioleaching experience, supported by research partnerships. <h2 style="text-align: center;">The Catalyst: A Shift Toward Sustainable Practices</h2> <a href="https://elements.visualcapitalist.com/visualizing-the-size-of-mine-tailings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nicholas LePan, writing for Elements on May 15, 2021, highlighted</a> the environmental impact of mining, specifically focusing on the waste by-product known as tailings, which are typically stored in dams or ponds globally.[OWNERSHIP_CHART-4798] Citing data from authoritative sources including the International Council on Mining and Metals, the United Nations Environment Programme, and the Principles for Responsible Investment, LePan reported that there are approximately 8,500 tailings storage facilities worldwide. These facilities, whether active, inactive, or closed, collectively contain about 217 cubic kilometers of tailings, an amount that could form a cube with each side measuring 6 kilometers. <a href="https://www.marketresearchfuture.com/reports/mining-tailings-management-market-36992?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=23325441562&utm_adgroup=189184008466&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23325441562&gbraid=0AAAAApSi_p3QyVDbMebVcu92YBSjm-QY4&gclid=CjwKCAjwnZfPBhAGEiwAzg-VzCe1FhcbbFMwTwRWDwsoWOW5e_OCyucJp_cqAHKP5x9nNd-b4xkTdRoCG18QAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a report by Market Research Future</a>, the Mining Tailings Management Market was valued at US$11.74 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow from US$12.23 billion in 2025 to US$18.36 billion by 2035, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.15% over the forecast period from 2025 to 2035.

(GCC:CSE; GCCFF:OTC; A402CQ:WKN; 3TZ:FSE) updates on its drilling activities at the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property in British Columbia. Read to find out why one analyst says the company's next step could be "pivotal."<a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/pub/co/11131?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (GCC:CSE; GCCFF:OTC; A402CQ:WKN; 3TZ:FSE)</a> announced an update on its drilling activities at the Halo zone of the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property in British Columbia's historic Cariboo Gold District, <a href="https://goldencariboo.com/news/golden-cariboo-drilling-update-quesnelle-gold-quartz-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted a May 26 release</a>. GCC said it recently completed two additional surface diamond drill holes from the same drill pad positioned a few meters south of the QGQ25-28 collar. The first of these new holes, QGQ26-31, reached a depth of approximately 109 meters and was drilled at an orientation of 270°/-53°. This drilling direction was chosen specifically to target the western contact of the Halo zone, which was successfully encountered at a depth of about 79 meters, the company said. The second hole, QGQ26-32, was initiated a few meters west of QGQ26-31 and drilled at an orientation of 270°/-45°. This hole was cased past the contact point and extended to a depth of about 103 meters. Core logging from these drillings is ongoing, Golden Cariboo said. Additionally, QGQ26-29 is still being hand-split, with approximately two days of work remaining. Samples are being regularly sent to MSALAB in Prince George for analysis. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Maiden MRE Commissioned</h2> <a href="https://goldencariboo.com/news/golden-cariboo-ni-43-101-mineral-resource-estimate-halo-main/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Golden Cariboo Resources recently announced</a> its intention to commission an independent maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Halo and Main zones at Quesnelle. This decision is based on data from the company's initial 29 NQ-sized surface diamond drill holes and up to nine historical drill holes near the Main zone. "From our very first holes, we have observed encouraging geological continuity and mineralization across both the Halo and Main zones," President Frank Callaghan said at the time. "While this work remains at the exploration stage, the data density and repeatability we are seeing have provided management with sufficient confidence to move forward with a formal NI 43-101 resource estimation. We believe this represents an important milestone in systematically advancing the property." The MRE process will be supervised by a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101 and will include validating the drill database, conducting geological modeling, estimating grades, and classifying the mineral resources according to CIM Definition Standards. The company noted that initiating a mineral resource estimate at this early stage of exploration is unusual but justified by the consistent geological and assay results from the Halo and Main zones. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Calls MRE Announcement a 'Pivotal Derisking Milestone'</h2> On March 27, Ron Wortel, an analyst at Couloir Capital, <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/04/01/gold-co-hits-strongest-drill-result-yet-at-halo-zone-as-maiden-resource-estimate-signals-major-re-rating-potential.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reaffirmed his firm's BUY rating on Golden Cariboo</a>, setting a fair value estimate of CA$0.50 per share, which indicates a potential 455% increase from the share price when he wrote the note. This optimistic projection is supported by impressive drilling results, particularly from drill hole QGQ25-27, which encountered 0.89 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 70.65 meters starting at a depth of 14.2 meters. This drilling also revealed higher-grade subintervals, enhancing the geological understanding of the Halo zone. Further exploration, including drill hole QGQ25-28, reached approximately 755 meters in depth, revealing significant geological features indicative of a potential extension of the mineral system. "In a pivotal derisking milestone, the company formally announced its intention to commission an independent NI 43-101-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for the Halo and Main zones," Wortel wrote. "The MRE will incorporate data from 28 company drill holes and up to nine historically reported holes, an unusually early move for a junior at this early stage, signaling management's and the technical team's confidence in the geological database and indications of continuity in the mineralization." Additionally, the acquisition of 13 placer claim cells in the Halo zone for CA$60,000 is seen as a strategic enhancement to the project's potential and future development prospects, he said. <a href="https://thedeepdive.ca/back-to-the-cariboo-gold-rush-history-meets-modern-discovery-golden-caribou/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jay Lutz of The Deep Dive commented</a> on Golden Cariboo's active drilling endeavors in the Cariboo district, noting the significant influence of Callaghan, who has come out of retirement to spearhead the exploration efforts. Lutz praised the promising early results under Callaghan's leadership and pointed out the company's relatively modest market capitalization compared to neighboring mining operations. He speculated on Golden Cariboo's potential to become a major influence in the future of this historically rich mining district, suggesting a promising outlook for growth and development in the area. Quesnelle spans approximately 94,899 hectares and is situated along the Spanish and Eureka thrust faults. This area is historically known for its substantial gold production, with over 101 placer gold creeks along a 90-kilometer trend that continues to be actively productive. The Quesnelle Quartz mine, discovered in 1865, is easily accessible by road. The geological characteristics of the gold mineralization at Quesnelle bear similarities to those found at the Spanish Mountain gold deposit, approximately 120 kilometers southeast. The Spanish Mountain deposit is identified as a sediment-hosted vein (SHV) deposit, a category that includes some of the world’s largest gold deposits, such as Muruntau in Uzbekistan and Bendigo in Australia. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Experts Still See Upside for Gold</h2> <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/28/gold-tumbles-to-two-month-low-as-inflation-hedge-status-fades.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chloe Taylor reported for CNBC on May 28</a> that gold prices dropped to their lowest in two months, influenced by renewed uncertainties surrounding the U.S.-Iran conflict, which strengthened the dollar and pushed oil prices up. At 9:12 am ET Thursday, spot gold was trading down by approximately 0.7% at US$4,425.73 an ounce, marking the lowest price since March 26. Similarly, front-month U.S. gold futures decreased by 0.5%, settling at US$4,460.30. The decline in gold prices was partly due to the strengthening U.S. dollar, which makes gold more expensive for buyers using other currencies, Taylor reported. Despite the current pressures, UBS strategists remain optimistic about gold's prospects. In a note released on Thursday, they acknowledged the impact of high energy prices and potential tight monetary policies from central banks like the Federal Reserve on gold prices during the Iran conflict, according to Taylor. However, they anticipate gold will regain its momentum as expectations for rate hikes diminish. UBS has adjusted its year-end gold price target to US$5,500 an ounce, down from a previous forecast of US$5,900. "We remain positive on the outlook for gold and continue to view the precious metal as a source of diversification within portfolios," UBS Global Wealth Management Chief Investment Officer Mark Haefele said. "Although near-term performance may remain sensitive to U.S.-Iran headlines, energy prices, U.S. yields, and the dollar, the medium-term case remains supported by central bank demand, reserve diversification, elevated global debt burdens, and the prospect of easier Fed policy later in the year." Bank of America also maintains a bullish outlook, setting a year-end target for gold at US$5,093 an ounce, which would be about a 16% increase from Thursday’s spot price, Taylor said in the CNBC piece. However, they predict a slight pullback to US$4,925 per ounce by the end of 2027.[OWNERSHIP_CHART-11131] On Tuesday, BofA analysts noted that Gold has been overbought but underinvested. Prices have corrected after relentless ETF purchases subsided in the autumn. The wider macro environment, including the U.S.' unorthodox economic policies, is supportive, so we see upside risk to our forecasts. Since the onset of the U.S.-Iran conflict in late February, bullion has seen a 15% decline in value, <a href="https://www.mining.com/gold-price-falls-to-two-month-low-on-inflation-fears/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a report on Mining.com on May 27</a>. The conflict led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which in turn caused energy prices to spike and sparked inflation concerns. This situation has heightened expectations among global central banks to maintain elevated interest rates, adversely affecting non-yielding assets like gold. In the United States, market analysts anticipate that the inflation driven by higher energy costs will compel the US Federal Reserve to increase its benchmark overnight interest rate by 25 basis points by the end of the year, as per a Reuters poll. TD Securities analyst Ryan McKay commented on the situation, noting, "While hope of a US-Iran deal has offered some support, the situation remains fragile and persistent, as inflation fears continue to loom over precious metals," according to a statement he made to Bloomberg, as reported by Mining.com. "However, the outlook for gold remains bright in the longer term, as major banks including JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs still see the metal reaching at least US$5,000/oz. despite the recent weakness," the article noted. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership and Share Structure1</h2> 1Insider Callaghan, the CEO, holds 7.31%.

(BRAZ:CSE; CNYGF:OTC; K5D:FSE) as he believes the company is at the precipice of confirming its geological model.<a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/pub/co/11442?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canary Gold Corp. (BRAZ:CSE; CNYGF:OTC; K5D:FSE)</a> continues to advance one of the more unusual and potentially significant grassroots gold exploration stories in the junior mining sector. Since our original Streetwise Reports article in December 2025 titled <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2025/12/05/brazils-gold-reset-and-a-new-paleochannel-bet.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Brazil's Gold Reset and a New Paleochannel Bet,"</a> the story has evolved from an interesting geological concept into an active district-scale drill campaign that is now beginning to confirm gold within the system itself. <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202652971219_1.png" alt="" width="474" height="346" /> Brazil is quietly resetting how gold is found, traced, and permitted in the Amazon. At the same time, gold itself is in a powerful long-term uptrend, and Brazil's equity market looks like it has broken out of a deep, decade-long sideways pattern, and has transformed into higher lows and a major breakout taking place. <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202652971243_2.png" alt="" width="508" height="462" /> The company's Rio Madeira Project in Rondônia, Brazil, sits adjacent to one of South America's richest historic placer gold districts, where more than 7 million ounces of gold are reported to have been dredged from the Madeira River system over the past decades. Canary believes preserved ancient river channels within its land package may represent part of the same broader gold-bearing fluvial system that contributed to historic Madeira River placer production What is beginning to change the story now is that drilling, sampling, and geological work are increasingly supporting the company's paleochannel interpretation. <h2 style="text-align: center;">About the Company </h2> Canary Gold Corp. is a Canadian exploration company focused on identifying and advancing district-scale gold opportunities in Brazil. The company controls approximately 163,000 hectares in the Madeira Basin, a prolific but underexplored gold region in western Brazil. Unlike many traditional hard-rock exploration stories, Canary is pursuing a paleochannel model. The company believes ancient river systems transported gold eastward from the Andes Mountains into Brazil's Madeira Basin, where broad gravel-rich paleochannels concentrated gold over geological time. <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202652971323_3.png" alt="" width="624" height="190" /> Using remote sensing, topographic interpretation, aircore drilling, auger drilling, and geological modeling, Canary has outlined an approximately 89-kilometer prospective paleochannel corridor adjacent to the active Madeira River. The company is now systematically testing these buried channels for stronger gold concentrations. The updated May 2026 corporate presentation shows the company moving from conceptual geological targeting into active confirmation drilling, with a large-scale 20,000-meter aircore and auger drill campaign now underway. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Property: Rio Madeira Project, Rondônia, Brazil </h2> <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202652971351_4.png" alt="" width="624" height="232" /> The Rio Madeira Project remains the primary driver behind the Canary Gold story. Several developments over the past six months appear to have significantly strengthened the company's geological model. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Gold Now Confirmed Within the System </h2> In its recent exploration updates, Canary reported elevated gold grain counts and anomalous gold values from drilling that support the interpretation of a gold-bearing paleochannel system at Rio Madeira. The company has now completed 63 auger holes totaling 1,289 meters, with the first 33 holes assayed. Six holes returned anomalous gold values ranging from 10 ppb to 109 ppb Au. Visible gold has also been identified in sediments and pan concentrates across the project corridor. While these are still early-stage exploration indicators rather than economic grades, they do confirm that gold exists within the targeted system itself. RC drilling is now targeting deeper gravel-rich horizons where the company believes stronger gold concentrations may occur. <h2 style="text-align: center;">District-Scale Paleochannel Potential </h2> One of the more compelling aspects of the story is the overall scale. The company's interpretation suggests multiple preserved paleochannels extend across a broad corridor adjacent to the Madeira River. Remote sensing imagery, topographic analysis, and drilling are being integrated to refine where the most prospective gold-bearing channels may occur. The geological cross-sections in the updated presentation help visualize the concept. Canary believes buried gravel bars and ancient fluvial systems may have trapped gold over long periods of time, similar in concept to other paleoplacer systems globally. Importantly, the company continues to emphasize that this remains an exploration target and not a defined mineral resource. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why the Story Is Gaining Attention </h2> The broader backdrop for the story also appears increasingly supportive. Gold continues to trade in what many analysts view as a secular bull market. Brazil's equity market has begun emerging from a prolonged downtrend, while the Brazilian government has increased efforts to formalize and regulate gold production in the Amazon, while cracking down on illegal mining activity. At the same time, investors continue searching for early-stage district-scale discovery stories with meaningful leverage to rising gold prices. Against that backdrop, Canary's oversubscribed financings and expanding drill programs suggest the market is beginning to pay closer attention. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Management and Advisory Board</h2> <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202652971447_5.png" alt="" width="624" height="298" /> Canary Gold Corp. is led by a team with extensive technical, capital markets, and governance experience. <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202652971502_6.png" alt="" width="624" height="304" /> Andrew Lee Smith, B.Sc., P.Geo., ICD.D Chairman & CEO Smith is a Professional Geologist with more than 25 years of experience exploring and developing precious and base metals projects in Africa and North America. He received the Mining Entrepreneur of the Year Award from the Quebec Prospectors Association for his role in mine development with Aurizon Mines and holds the ICD.D corporate governance designation. Mark Tommasi, President Tommasi brings more than 30 years of experience in capital markets and corporate development, particularly within the junior exploration sector. His background includes financing strategy, corporate growth, and investor relations. Hein Poulus, K.C. Director Poulus is a senior corporate lawyer and governance advisor with decades of experience in public companies and corporate litigation. Alan Carter, Technical Advisor Carter is well known in Brazilian mining circles and currently serves as President and CEO of Cabral Gold. He has been directly involved in several gold discoveries in Brazil and adds important regional and technical expertise to Canary's exploration effort. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Share Structure </h2> <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202652971550_7.png" alt="" width="494" height="255" /> According to the company's May 2026 corporate presentation: <ul> <li>Shares Outstanding: 75,208,046</li> <li>Warrants: 11,779,040</li> <li>Options: 12,140,000</li> <li>Fully Diluted: 99,127,086</li> </ul> For a junior exploration company conducting a district-scale drill campaign, the share structure remains relatively reasonable. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Technical Analysis </h2> <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202652971614_8.png" alt="" width="624" height="566" /> The updated chart on Canary Gold continues to show a constructive long-term setup despite the difficult correction seen across many junior exploration stocks during early 2026. After reaching the first two technical targets at CA$0.37 and CA$0.45, the shares entered a prolonged corrective phase that developed into a declining wedge formation. Importantly, the shares continue finding support near the CA$0.18–0.19 level, which now appears to represent an important long-term support zone. The stock has repeatedly bounced from these lows while volume patterns remain constructive. During earlier advances, volume expanded significantly as prices moved higher, while pullbacks generally occurred on lighter volume. That type of behavior often suggests consolidation rather than outright liquidation. The shares now appear to be stabilizing within the narrowing wedge pattern. If volume begins increasing again and the shares can break above the descending resistance line, the first upside target sits near CA$0.32, followed by a move toward the previous resistance area near CA$0.47. The longer-term "Point of Recognition" or POR zone remains significantly higher near the CA$0.60 level. Continued positive drilling updates from Rio Madeira, combined with a technical breakout from the current wedge, could potentially trigger a stronger re-rating phase. From a technical perspective, the shares appear to be attempting to carve out an important bottom. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Conclusion </h2> Canary Gold Corp. (BRAZ:CSE; CNYGF:OTC; K5D:FSE) is continuing to transition from conceptual geological theory into active discovery-stage exploration. The company now has visible gold observations, anomalous gold assays from drilling, a large district-scale land package, and an ongoing 20,000-meter drill campaign testing a broad paleochannel system adjacent to one of South America's richest historic placer gold districts. At the same time, the macro backdrop for both gold and Brazil appears to be improving, while the stock itself is beginning to stabilize technically after a lengthy correction. The next several drill phases should help determine whether Rio Madeira can evolve from an interesting geological concept into a meaningful new Brazilian gold discovery. With the shares currently trading near long-term support around CA$0.18–CA$0.20, we continue to view Canary Gold Corp. as a speculative buy for investors seeking exposure to a potentially emerging district-scale gold story with meaningful exploration catalysts ahead. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/get-news?utm_medium=feed"> Sign up for our FREE newsletter at: www.streetwisereports.com/get-news</a>Important Disclosures:<ol> <li>Canary Gold Corp. is a billboard sponsor of Streetwise Reports and pays SWR a monthly sponsorship fee between US$3,000 and US$6,000. </li> <li> <div class="x_elementToProof">For this article, the Company has paid Street Smart, an affiliate of Streetwise Reports, between US$3,500.</div> </li> <li>As of the date of this article, officers, contractors, shareholders, and/or employees of Streetwise Reports LLC (including members of their household) own securities of Canary Gold Corp. </li> <li>Author Certification and Compensation: [John Newell of John Newell and Associates] was retained and compensated as an independent contractor by Street Smart for writing this article.

According to the company, expansion drilling will focus on extending the Bonanza Zone and Golden Gate Zone to the east, northeast, and southwest, while the Surebet Zone will be expanded to the west. Additional drilling is planned to test gold-rich mineralized veins that remain open, as well as lithological and structural features linked to magnetic anomalies that the company said may indicate the presence of a causative magmatic intrusion gold feeder source. Goliath stated that every drill hole completed between 2021 and 2025 within the 1.8 square kilometer Surebet discovery intersected gold mineralization. The company reported that the discovery contains five gold-rich zones comprised of 46 distinct stacked veins that remain open for expansion. Visible gold to the naked eye was reported in 92% of drill holes completed to date. <a href="https://goliathresourcesltd.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/May-27-2026-Goliath-Mobilizes-For-A-Fully-Funded-50000-Meter-Expansion-Drill-Program-On-Surebet.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Founder and CEO Roger Rosmus stated in the company news release,</a> "Our team is convinced that we have a unique high-grade gold discovery that is highlighted by 46 gold-rich stacked gently dipping veins resulting in 5 major mineralized zones defined and modeled based on >1500 pierce points."

Reuters also reported that equities advanced while oil prices fell below US$100 per barrel and reached two-week lows. UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo told Reuters that "Financial assets are strongly influenced by oil prices at present, and gold prices are not an exception." Staunovo also stated that "Lower oil prices lift gold, in anticipation that it impacts the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve," adding that he expected the trend to continue in the near term. According to Reuters, gold had declined approximately 14% since late February amid elevated energy prices, inflation concerns, and expectations for higher U.S. interest rates.

Moglia stated that central bank activity continued to support the gold market, noting that "the result was three straight years of over 1,000 tonnes of gold purchased by global central banks between 2022-2024, representing roughly 20-25% of annual global mine production." He added that gold's price behavior had become "noticeably less sensitive to its traditional cyclical drivers." The Kitco report stated that Moglia viewed gold as remaining in a longer-term secular bull market. Moglia said, "We believe gold entered its third secular bull market in 2022," adding that "gold remains a secular anchor to portfolios." Moglia also discussed mining equities, stating that "gold and silver miners offer leveraged upside with improved carry." He further stated that operating margins for the gold and silver miner index were "near 40%, the highest level since 2011," while major miners were expected to generate approximately US$20 billion in free cash flow during 2025. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Report Discusses Expansion Drilling and Geological Continuity at Surebet</h2> 1<a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/02/24/from-discovery-to-expansion-a-golden-triangle-gold-system-takes-shape.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a February 24 report from John Newell of John Newell & Associates, Goliath Resources Ltd. was assigned a "Speculative Buy" rating.</a> Newell stated that the company had "completed more than 150,000 meters of drilling with a reported 100% hit rate for mineralization and continuing to expand the system in multiple directions." The report discussed the geological interpretation of the Surebet discovery, stating that "early skepticism around the geology has given way to a growing recognition of the scale, continuity, and structural complexity of the Surebet discovery, particularly following the company's 2025 and early-2026 drill results." Newell also stated that the company was "fully funded for its 2026 exploration campaign and continues to prioritize expansion of known zones while vectoring toward potential higher-grade feeder corridors within the broader system." In describing the mineralized system, the report referred to Surebet as "a large, high-grade gold system with vertical and lateral continuity," adding that "the continuity of mineralization is supported by the fact that an overwhelming majority of holes drilled to date contain visible gold to the naked eye." The February 24 report also outlined several price objectives. According to the report, "upside objectives focus first on the area near CA$4.10, followed by a larger measured target around CA$8.25." The report further stated that "on a longer-term basis, the structure supports a big-picture objective near CA$11.50 should the market move from early recognition toward full valuation of the discovery." On valuation, Newell wrote, "We view Goliath Resources Limited as a Speculative Buy . . . for investors who understand exploration risk and seek leverage to growing gold systems and a rising gold price." <h2 style="text-align: center;" data-start="3422" data-end="3455">2026 Expansion Drilling Plans</h2> <a href="https://goliathresourcesltd.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Golddigger-Property-__-May-11-2026.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The company stated that the fully funded 2026 drill campaign is designed to expand the footprint of the Surebet discovery both laterally and at depth across all five main mineralized zones</a>.

Newton Tech, an AI-powered movement intelligence company specializing in video-based motion capture and computational analysis of standardized walking assessments to produce quantitative measures of gait quality, analyzed the biomechanical data. Based on the Global Statistical Test, 100% (10/10) of NVG-291 subjects were classified as responders across the composite of the hallmarks of genuine neural recovery, versus 10% of placebo subjects. The data analyzed coordination, mechanical effort, and postural stability. <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/U-z9726231-U!NGEN-20260526/U/NGEN" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Key findings</a> from the analyses include: <ul> <li>Multivariate Global Treatment Effect (GTE): Integrating the established hallmarks of genuine neural recovery into a unified assessment, the GST demonstrated a statistically significant treatment effect favoring NVG-291 (GTE = +0.45; 95% CI: +0.15 to +0.72; p=0.0197), corresponding to a 72.7% probability of treatment benefit with NVG-291 versus placebo.</li> <li>Responder Analysis: Based on the GST, 100% (10/10) of NVG-291 subjects were classified as responders across the composite of the recovery measures of coordination, mechanical effort, and postural stability, compared to just 10% (1/10) of placebo subjects (p=0.0001). A responder was classified as a subject who outperformed the majority of opposite-arm subjects across the composite.</li> <li>Speed-Effort Dissociation: Among placebo subjects, gains in walking speed were statistically correlated with increased mechanical effort (peak knee angular velocity vs. speed: r=+0.83; p=0.003), consistent with compensation. This association was not observed in NVG-291 subjects, consistent with speed gains driven by restored neural control rather than compensatory effort.</li> <li>Consistency Across Recovery Measures: The multivariate treatment effect was consistent across all three recovery measures, with each favoring NVG-291 with statistical significance versus placebo.</li> </ul> Adam Rogers, MD, President, and CEO of NervGen, said in the release, "These results extend the robust efficacy observed in the Phase 1b/2a CONNECT SCI study, providing independent and objective evidence that NVG-291 is promoting genuine neural recovery, as reflected in lower-body locomotor function. In a chronic population, where meaningful natural recovery has largely plateaued, these findings strengthen the growing evidence supporting NVG-291 as a potentially best-in-class restorative therapy for chronic tetraplegia. When combined with previously reported clinical improvements, these new biomechanical findings further reinforce the foundation upon which we are advancing NVG-291 into the Phase 3 RESTORE registrational study in chronic tetraplegia, and our potential path to approval as the first pharmacologic therapy capable of enabling the nervous system to repair itself."

McAuley expressed anticipation for the results of the Phase 2 RESTORE trial, stating, "We conservatively assume that top-line data will be released in mid-2028, with approval in 2030." Andre Uddin, Ph.D., and Seungwoo Lee, Ph.D., also provided opinions on NervGen on April 27, 2026. The pair rated the company a "Speculative Buy", with a price target of CA$5.50. The addition of Dr. Keith Vendola to the management team as CFO seemed to be their main driver. They wrote, "In our view, adding a CFO with deep corporate finance and capital markets experience strengthens the management team ahead of important milestones." H.C. Wainwright and Co.'s Raghuram Selvaraju, Ph.D., weighed in on April 27, 2026, as well. Selvaraju gave the company a "Buy" rating, with a price target of CA$18.00. "We believe that NVG-291 could be launched independently, even by a company of NervGen's size. The unmet nature of the medical need in chronic SCI patients may permit ultra-premium pricing, but even pricing in the US$200K range would imply peak sales potential exceeding US$2B at only a ~10% market penetration rate," he wrote, arguing that the current patient population is "almost totally unserved." On May 26, 2026, Chen Lin of What is Chen Buying? What is Chen Selling? wrote: "Last Friday was a very bad day for NGEN. NGEN is listed on Nasdaq, and shares hit seven. I thought they would raise at that time, just like MSLE, but they didn't. They were taunting the Gait data. I thought it would be a good one, and the stock would pop, then they would raise the money. But they raised money last week — US$60 million at 2.5 with a 5-year warrant at 3.68, which is a huge dilution of existing shareholders. This kind of raise happened often in the bear market three years ago, which I was trying hard to avoid, but it is very hard to accept now as biotech is in a much better environment." Lin continued: "This morning, the long-awaited Gait data came out, and it was as good as we hoped — 10 out of 10 showed improvement vs 1 out of 10 in placebo groups. I do think they have a chance for accelerated approval (AA). If NGEN files for AA in the coming week, with the financing overhang, it is probably a good buying opportunity. If they don't file, it would be a 2028 story."

(WPG:TSXV; WPGCF:OTCQX) announces that its common shares have started trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the ticker symbol "WPGCF." Find out what catalysts are coming for this Canadian junior.West Point Gold Corp. (WPG:TSXV; WPGCF:OTCQX) announced that its common shares have started trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the ticker symbol "WPGCF," <a href="https://westpointgold.com/west-point-gold-announces-upgrade-to-the-otcqx/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a May 26 release</a>. The company has successfully upgraded from the OTCQB Venture Market to the OTCQX, which is the top tier of the OTC Markets. This move is designed to increase the company's visibility and make its shares more accessible to U.S. investors. West Point Gold's shares will continue to be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange with the symbol "WPG" and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under "LRA0." "Graduating to the OTCQX Best Market represents an important milestone for West Point Gold as we continue to broaden our visibility with U.S. investors," President and Chief Executive Officer Derek Macpherson said. "With an active exploration program underway at our flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona and a broader portfolio of discovery-focused assets across the Walker Lane Trend, this upgrade supports our objective of improving market access, liquidity, and awareness as we advance the Company." This upgrade marks a pivotal development in West Point Gold's strategy to enhance its market presence and investor base in the United States. The OTCQX Best Market is recognized for its high standards, including stringent financial criteria, adherence to best practices in corporate governance, and compliance with relevant securities laws. Investors in the U.S. can access up-to-date financial disclosures and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the company <a href="https://www.otcmarkets.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Funds Available for Upcoming PEA</h2> Since its recapitalization in 2024, West Point Gold has been vigorously progressing its primary Gold Chain project, <a href="https://www.caesarsreport.com/reports/report-west-point-gold-fully-funded-and-drilling-toward-a-maiden-resource-at-high-grade-gold-chain-project/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a May 27 report by Caesars Report</a>. Early in the year, the company successfully raised capital, which is set to support the continuation of its drilling program and the completion of a maiden resource estimate for the Tyro Main Zone. Assuming positive outcomes from this initial estimate, West Point Gold is also poised to undertake a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Gold Chain project, the article noted. "Given the high-grade nature of the project (an average grade of 1.5-2 g/t gold is to be expected given the higher grade pods in the mineralized system), Gold Chain could be a low-cost gold project in a Tier-1 mining jurisdiction, and we expect the maiden PEA to reflect a high-IRR and high NPV to initial capex ratio," Caesars Report said. West Point Gold capitalized on a favorable financing opportunity, raising CA$25 million, which now more than sufficiently funds the upcoming PEA. With gold prices projected at US$3,000 or US$3,250, the company's valuation remains appealing despite a significant increase in its share price over the past year, Caesars Report noted. The next 12 months are critical for defining West Point Gold's strategic direction, but the influx of high-grade drill results continues to bolster confidence in the company's future success and potential. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst: Results Are Promising for Anticipated MRE</h2> <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/04/28/gold-explorer-expands-strike-zone-at-gold-chain-to-400m.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In April, the company released</a> assay results from seven infill reverse circulation (RC) drill holes, part of a comprehensive 20,000-meter drilling program at Gold Chain, which is in northwest Arizona. According to an updated research note by Red Cloud's Ron Stewart on April 24, the holes were drilled in the central to southern sections of the Tyro Main zone, a segment of a 3.4-kilometer northeast-southwest trending low-sulfidation epithermal zone. Notably, all holes encountered mineralization, with one particularly significant intercept yielding 1 gram per tonne gold (g/t Au) over 184 meters, marking the longest mineralized interval discovered so far at the site. These findings reinforce the continuity of mineralization within the Tyro Main zone and support the arrangement of the veins, underscoring Gold Chain's potential as a highly prospective epithermal gold project nearing its exploration target of 2 to 3 million ounces. Phase 2 metallurgical test results, released on April 22, indicate that ultra-fine grinding is necessary to effectively extract the finely disseminated gold, Stewart wrote. Key highlights from the drilling include 1 g/t Au over 184.4 meters, including a segment of 8.11 g/t Au over 10.7 meters in hole GC26-125, 3.11 g/t Au over 22.9 meters in hole GC26-116, and 0.8 g/t Au over 88.6 meters in hole GC26-127. Hole GC26-125, drilled parallel to the Tyro Main zone, encountered continuous veins and veinlets, while hole GC26-127, positioned close and slightly perpendicular to GC26-125, yielded similar results. Hole GC26-116 was strategically drilled to cross the entire zone. Stewart said the results are promising for the anticipated maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) later in the year. The mineralization within the Tyro vein system has been traced for approximately 1.4 kilometers, with high-grade concentrations noted at the northeastern end. To date, 94 holes drilled into the Tyro Main Zone have averaged 2.24 g/t over 28.2 meters. The company is continuing its aggressive drilling efforts, having completed 16,504 meters of the planned 20,000 meters, with results pending from an additional 24 holes. Further, the Phase 2 metallurgical results revealed that material sized to 0.075mm achieved gold recoveries of 87% to 92%, while silver recoveries ranged from 55% to 83%, the analyst continued. Conversely, HPGR ground material sized to 6.2mm and conventionally ground material to 12.5mm showed significantly lower recovery rates after 168 hours of leaching. These findings suggest that further metallurgical testing and optimization could enhance recovery rates. While West Point Gold has not yet been assigned a rating and target, the ongoing drilling successes and exploration advancements are expected to positively influence the company's valuation, Stewart noted. Key upcoming events include the release of the maiden MRE for the Tyro Main zone and the acquisition of drill permits for Jefferson Canyon, both slated for 2026. According to 321gold.com's Bob Moriarty, West Point continues to advance Gold Chain "one hole after another with their fully funded 20,000-meter drill program." He continued, "With CA$30 million in their treasury look for fireworks when they announce their pending 43-101 resource in 2026." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Gold Price Dip Could Be Big Opportunity</h2> Gold prices fell for a second session on Wednesday as expectations for a swift resolution to the U.S.-Iran conflict faded, keeping inflation concerns alive and clouding the interest rate outlook, <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/gold-falls-as-mideast-uncertainty-clouds-rate-outlook/ar-AA24aTzo?ocid=finance-verthp-feeds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a report by Noel John of Reuters published May 27 by MSN</a>. Spot gold was down 1.3% at US$4,448.43 per ounce, as of 1110 GMT. U.S. gold futures for June delivery fell 1.3% to US$4,446.20. Iran said on Tuesday the United States had violated a ceasefire by striking targets near the contested Strait of Hormuz, potentially complicating efforts to bring the war to a close. "Prices have dropped, approaching support at US$4,450 as hopes waver for a U.S.-Iran peace deal. Adding to gold's woes are steadily rising expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates amid conflict-induced price pressures," said Lukman Otunuga, senior research analyst at FXTM, according to the report. "Ultimately, further signs of rising price pressure may reinforce bets that the Fed will keep interest rates higher for longer — exposing gold to greater downside risk."[OWNERSHIP_CHART-11225] Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said on Wednesday that the central bank must focus on containing inflationary risks that appear to be building, though it was "far too soon" to predict when it could next change interest rates. Gold prices have been on a consistent upward trajectory for so long that even seasoned investors might have overlooked a significant recent drop, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/price-of-gold-down-19-percent-january-advantages-of-investing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote Matt Richardson for CBS News MoneyWatch on May 26</a>. The price per ounce has fallen nearly 20% from its January high, a decrease of about US$1,000 from earlier in 2026, the article said. Several factors have contributed to this decline, presenting a potentially fleeting opportunity for investors to purchase gold at a more accessible price point. It's crucial for both new investors and those looking to increase their holdings to seize this opportunity while it lasts, he said. "While multiple factors have contributed to that decline, the reality is that this opportunity to get invested at a more affordable price may not last very long," Richardson said. "So, it's important that investors who have yet to get started with the metal, as well as those who want to boost their holdings, take advantage while they still can." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership and Share Information1</h2> West Point Gold Corp. has a market cap of CA$176.12 million, with 135.48 million shares outstanding.

The program encapsulated eight holes, each collared on the ice at Contact Lake to target gold mineralization in the BK3 Zone. This area hosts high-grade gold cores several hundred meters to the east-northeast of previous mine workings. Highlights of the assay results include: <ul> <li>Hole CL26042 returned 17.88 g/t gold (Au) over 11.25m from 86.00m</li> </ul> <ul> <ul> <ul> <li>including 31.36 g/t Au over 6.25m from 91.00m</li> <li>including 42.53 g/t Au over 4.50m from 91.00m</li> <li>including a single assay value of 350.00 g/t Au over 0.50m from 93.50m</li> </ul> </ul> </ul> <ul> <li>Hole CL26035 returned 93.44 g/t Au over 1.00m from 202.50m</li> </ul> All holes reported gold mineralization, with assays still pending for the remaining seven drill holes. The Contact Lake project covers 22,790 hectares and includes a past-producing mine that operated in the late 90s. The project was abandoned due to low gold prices at the time, leaving what the company believes to be substantial untapped resources unmined. "These results at Contact Lake further demonstrate the strong continuity of mineralization and, more importantly, reinforce the rapidly growing scale of the project. The presence of multiple parallel mineralized shear zones, combined with consistent high-grade gold intercepts, supports our belief that Contact Lake and the surrounding area have the potential to evolve into a new gold camp in Canada," said Jon Weisblatt, Trident Resources' CEO and director, in the release. Weisblatt continued, "As drilling continues to expand the footprint of mineralization, we are building confidence in the size, quality, and broader district-scale opportunity at Contact Lake. The project is increasingly drawing comparisons to other major Canadian high-grade discoveries, including the Dixie Project in Red Lake and Eskay Creek in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle." Weisblatt noted that the company has over CA$28 million in its treasury and is fully funded past the end of 2026. Trident Resources believes it is in a position to aggressively drill and grow gold resources at its properties. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Government Incentivizes Mining Companies</h2> A Canadian public mineral exploration company, Trident Resources, focuses on advanced-stage gold and copper exploration projects in Saskatchewan. The company's focus on diversifying Saskatchewan's mineral sector has allowed it to qualify for the Targeted Mineral Exploration Incentive (TMEI), which offered it a CA$150,000 rebate from the TMEI program. Weisblatt said, "We would also like to thank the Saskatchewan government for their support with the TMEI rebate, which will be invested in our projects in the province." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Gold Hits Two-Month Low, Still Resilient</h2> While gold prices are still significantly up from last year, rates dropped to a two-month low on May 27, 2026, due to fears of inflation and no end to the U.S.-Iran War in sight. Spot gold prices dropped 1.4% from the previous day, hovering at US$4,444.64 per ounce. June gold futures fell 1.2% to US$4,445.20. Reuters quoted Peter Grant, VP and senior metals strategist of Zaner Metals, as saying, "The biggest influence continues to be ⁠the Middle East. There was some lingering optimism, but as this continues to drag out, that optimism wanes." In April, <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/research/2026/04/copper-gold-market-outlook-2026-prices-supply-mining-costs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S&P Global wrote</a>, "Gold is expected to remain volatile but structurally supported, with central bank demand and geopolitical risk helping to establish a price floor above recent correction lows." Despite the volatility of gold, the sector as a whole is only showing signs of improvement. On May 7, 2026, <a href="https://www.recyclingtoday.com/news/world-bank-base-precious-metals-price-increases-2026-forecast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brian Taylor of Recycling Today said</a> that the World Bank Group has predicted that overall global metals prices will rise by 17% in 2026, which would mark the first overall market increase since 2022. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11417] <h2 style="text-align: center;">Expert's Stock Rise Expectation Realized</h2> Bob Moriarty of 321Gold.com expressed excitement at Trident's previous drill results released April 29, 2026, calling them "absolutely jaw-dropping." Moriarty wrote, "The standout was hole CL26036, which encountered a phenomenal grade of 15.11 grams of gold over a robust 51.83-meter interval starting at 256.00 meters depth. In gram/meter terms, that equates to an astounding 783.15 — hands down the most impressive drill hit in Contact Lake's history." Moriarty predicted that the stock price would surge after the news release, and that is exactly what happened. Now, after the results announced on May 27, Moriarty has updated his statement, saying: "Trident just reported another 200+ Gram/meter hole. Hole CL26042 returned 17.88 g/t AU over 11.25m from 86.00m. And the stock went down 11%. What did I miss? So, I bought more." <div> </div> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Investors Anticipate Summer Drill Program</h2> <a href="https://www.tridentresourcescorp.com/news-and-media/news/trident-resources-announces-closing-of-purchase-of-additional-4711-hectares-at-the-contact-lake-gold-and-greywacke-gold-projects">According to Trident's website</a>, the company is ". . . aggressively advancing its 100% owned Contact Lake and Greywacke Lake projects, which host significant historical gold resources located within the prospective and underexplored La Ronge Gold Belt, as well as the 100% owned Knife Lake copper project, which contains a historical copper resource."
