(DYAI:NASDAQ) as it secures strategic partnerships in the human and animal health, food technology, cell culture media, and industrial enzyme sectors.Dyadic International Inc. (DYAI:NASDAQ) is a U.S. biotechnology company specializing in protein expression and manufacturing solutions, leveraging its proprietary C1 and Dapibus fungus platforms. <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/U-z9758108-U!DYAI-20260707/U/DYAI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dyadic has secured strategic partnerships </a>in the human and animal health, food technology, cell culture media, and industrial enzyme sectors. A combination of new contract wins, platform scalability, and a broad market rotation into small-cap biotech stocks is creating the potential for positive cash flow and higher valuation. As of July 2026, the company appears to have successfully transitioned from a pure R&D start-up to a commercial biomanufacturer. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Biotech: A Bullish Market Sector</h2> Technical analysis shows biotech to be one of the hottest market sectors, and the charts suggest it could stay hot for a long time. Pullbacks can be bought. In a nutshell, institutional and retail investors both want to invest in market leaders, and this sector is one of the strongest. Figure 1: XBI:NYSE Biotech Sector ETF Chart <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2026713133156_Picture1.png" alt="" width="624" height="565" /> Technical Analysis and Observations: <ul> <li>Biotechnology is in a major bull trend.</li> <li>OBV (On Balance Volume) is confirming the underlying strength of the trend.</li> </ul> Figure 2: XBI Versus SP500 Index Comparison Chart <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2026713133220_Picture2.png" alt="" width="624" height="372" /> Technical Analysis & Observations: <ul> <li>This chart clearly shows biotech is outperforming the S&P 500 index.</li> <li>Institutional investors are generally attracted to sectors exhibiting relative strength.</li> </ul> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Commercial Momentum and Platform Validation</h2> The U.S. government's significant <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-health-agency-wind-down-mrna-vaccine-development-2025-08-05/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shift away</a> from foreign-dependent mRNA supply chains has created specific demand for non-mRNA, protein-based platforms like Dyadic's C1. The primary fundamental driver for Dyadic's potential upside valuation re-rating is the successful commercial deployment of this C1 platform. Unlike traditional mammalian or bacterial systems, the C1 fungus offers rapid development, scale-up, higher yields, and lower production costs, which is a critical advantage in the current economic climate. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Strategic Expansion with Solid Partnerships</h2> The company has moved beyond pilot programs into multi-year supply agreements. Recent announcements are validating the platform's ability to produce complex biologics at commercial scale. For example, on March 2, 2026, Dyadic <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/U-z9663564-U!DYAI-20260302/U/DYAI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> the planned 2026 commercialization of recombinant non-animal bovine chymosin enzyme with Denmark-based Inzymes. The company received a US$200,000 milestone payment for completing development, moving the project into a commercial phase that targets the multi-billion-dollar dairy enzyme market. <h2 style="text-align: center;">National Security</h2> Dyadic's C1 platform is viewed as a strategic reserve technology. It's stable, does not require ultra-cold chains, and can be produced entirely within the U.S. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Investor Risks</h2> <ul> <li>Cash Burn: With approximately US$6.6 million in cash and a quarterly burn rate that appears to be near US$2 million, the company may have a clear “runway” only into Q2 2027.</li> <li>Customer Concentration: Revenue remains heavily dependent on a small number of strategic partners (e.g., Proliant Health & Biologics, Inzymes, Fermbox, and IBT Bioservices).</li> <li>Lack of Professional Advice: Before taking action with any investment, investors should consult with properly licensed, experienced, and qualified investment advisors and get numerous opinions. Failure to do so increases risk.</li> </ul> Note: The above is not a complete list of risks. Read Dyadic's 10K filing carefully for more information on investment risks. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-4472] <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership Breakdown</h2> 1There are about 40 institutional investors holding about 15% of the stock. Strategic entities hold another 25%. The largest shareholder is the company's founder and CEO, Marc Emalfarb, with about 13% of the stock. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Shares Outstanding</h2> <ul> <li>Approximately 36.44 million shares.</li> </ul> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Buy Recommendation</h2> US$5.00 Price Target On May 14, 2026, Craig-Hallum analysts Matthew Hewitt and Tollef Kohrman said in their research report that they are reiterating their buy recommendation, with a US$5.00 price target for the stock. They elaborate, “We continue to believe the company's commercialization efforts are bearing fruit as it moves from early-stage development toward initial revenue generation, supported by a growing base of partnerships, distribution agreements, and product launches.” <h2 style="text-align: center;">Undervalued Relative to Peers</h2> Figure 3: Dyadic Versus XBI Ratio Chart <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2026713133409_Picture3.png" alt="" width="624" height="469" /> Technical Analysis & Observations: <ul> <li>A potential base pattern has formed for Dyadic against the powerful XBI biotech ETF.</li> <li>The stock looks ready to stage a significant rally against the XBI.</li> <li>MACD and RSI are exhibiting bullish leadership. In these types of technical situations, the price tends to follow the indicators and move higher.</li> <li>Dyadic has some well-known institutional shareholders, including Vanguard. If the company executes on its strategy, it could be picked up by a biotech ETF, and that would automatically bring investment from more institutional investors.</li> </ul> Figure 4: Dyadic Daily Chart <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2026713133432_Picture4.png" alt="" width="624" height="759" /> Technical Analysis and Observations: <ul> <li>A double bottom pattern is in play, targeting the US$1.30 zone.</li> <li>A move to the target area would help secure the company's listing on the Nasdaq, where a lot of biotech stocks trade.</li> <li>Stochastics and MACD are in rising mode, and the FORCE money flow indicator just flashed a buy signal.</li> </ul> Figure 5: Dyadic Weekly Chart <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2026713133456_Picture5.png" alt="" width="624" height="759" /> Technical Analysis and Observations: <ul> <li>A significant bull wedge pattern has formed.</li> <li>A rally to the US$2.60 area highs appears likely.</li> <li>OBV (On Balance Volume) is rising aggressively.</li> <li>Stochastics is on a crossover buy signal, as is MACD.</li> </ul> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Investment Thesis Summary</h2> <ul> <li>Biotech is a bullish sector, strongly outperforming the SP500 index and getting a lot of institutional investor attention.</li> <li>Bullish chart action (including a large weekly chart bull wedge; see below) could be attributed to the company's successful deployment of its C1 platform.</li> <li>The platform could get a major boost from the US government's pivot towards non-mRNA, fungal-based platforms. </li> <li>With solid partnerships in place and fixed costs appearing to be largely established, new revenue streams should flow directly to the bottom line, which could lead to a substantial improvement in EBITDA margins in late 2026 and 2027.</li> </ul> Stock price at time of writing (July 13, 2026): US$1.00 Short-Term Price Target: US$1.30 Medium-Term Technical Price Target: US$1.90 Long-Term Technical Price Target: US$2.60 Technical Rating: Speculative Buy <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>For this article, Dyadic International Inc. has paid Street Smart, an affiliate of Streetwise Reports, US$4,000.</li> <li>Author Certification and Compensation: Stewart Thomson was retained and compensated as an independent contractor by Street Smart for writing this article.

However, there arose a deeper, darker story than the simple resurgence of missiles, drones, and aircraft assaults that revolved around the notion that U.S. equity markets are considered vital to the safety and security of the United States. You see, it is no secret that stock markets were heavily managed during World War II, with governments around the world taking extreme, unprecedented measures to control trading, prevent panic, and redirect all financial capital toward the war effort. Rather than letting free markets dictate prices, nations treated stock exchanges as strategic economic tools while setting hard price "floors" for blue-chip stocks from the onset of Pearl Harbor and beyond. I mention this in passing because when the American-Israeli coalition first attacked Iran in late February, the price of oil shot through the roof. Prices immediately erupted into extreme volatility, and by the end of the first week of March, WTI surged over 38% to briefly cross $92 per barrel, while Brent crude jumped past $94 per barrel as the Iranian closure of the Strait of Hormuz severely choked off global energy shipments. However, after the specter of a crippling supply shock sent oil screaming further northward and stocks careening southward, a magical yet bizarre transformation came over the financial markets. Instead of geopolitical upheaval being a trigger for panic-buying of gold and silver, the two metals designed as hedges against calamity went in a diametrically opposite direction. <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202671394012_Picture1.png" alt="" width="624" height="278" /> Each time the missiles took out a friendly target, stocks would rally, and the metals would fade. In fact, the gloomier the reports got for the U.S.-Israeli coalition, the worse gold and silver traded. The narrative for oil went from "$300 per barrel will be a cinch!" to "As soon as the peace deal arrives, oil will be back to $55," after which the traders began to short oil into every singular event that threatened supply. Instead of selling stocks due to the inflationary repercussions of $100 oil, traders were buying stocks, and instead of buying gold and silver, they were selling gold and silver. In the bizarro practice of protecting national security, east becomes west and up becomes down, and as they say, "never the twain shall meet". The oddest behavior of any of those critical markets had to be crude oil prices. For the better part of four months, all we heard about was how strategic petroleum reserves were being drained unmercifully by the sovereign wealth funds that control them in order to prevent catastrophic drawdowns in domestic U.S. currency reserves. We were warned by the spin doctors at CNBC that "oil could see $500/bbl" once those SPR's were empty. While the narrative was being sculpted and scripted and shaped into something that the White House could accept, that "Great Peace Deal" that adds to the "Big Beautiful Bill" constituting the Trump legacy has metamorphosed into something drastically altered from what was being promoted back in March. "Da Boyz" in the White House, along with their European and Asian allies, have kept the U.S. dollar sacrosanct in all aspects and character for one expressed purpose: to keep the illusion of "inflation under control" at the front and center of the American (and global) consciousness. Meanwhile, here in Canada, I just went to the local supermarket (non-operative word being "super") and filled a single carry-bag full of vegetables, including lettuce, celery, tomatoes, and cucumber for the ghoulish price of $100 (which of course did include a six-pack of Molson's beer). I graduated from being a buyer of "cases of beer" perhaps thirty years ago. However, as muscle memory is a powerful tool, I recall all too well what it used to cost me fifty years ago for a "weekend up north" where I stuffed a "Two-Four" into the trunk of my 1976 Chrysler Cordoba ("with the fine Corinthian leather") and roared up the 400 highway. It was CA$7.25, so if you think for one Keynesian moment that inflation has been kept "under control" by our political leaders, you had better give your heads a firm and brain-adjusting shake. A case of Molson's Export beer is today priced at between $43 and $50 for twenty-four bottles of beer, not Napoleon Brandy or Madeira wine. Chew on that for a while… Gold and silver prices are rebounding off the lows registered at the end of the month, end of the quarter on June 30th. After thinking that the lows I identified on June 10 with RSI in the low 20's were a "false buy signal" resulting in a sale of everything I bought a week later, I was fortunate to have seen the error of my ways and decided that the lows were indeed in and replaced a silver long position represented by the SLV August $50 calls. That trade was humming along swimmingly until the "Great Peace Deal" went up in smoke with a resumption of air assaults and the marine blockade. Gold had scrambled back to $4,200 and was well on its way to initial resistance at the downtrend line of $4,350 while the silver ETF (SLV:US), which bottomed just above $50, had rallied to just above $56 before hostilities resumed. Once the attacks on Iran resumed, the need for gold as a hedge against geopolitical risk was jettisoned, and the selling resumed. The good news is that the end-of-quarter lows are holding, at least as of Friday, with both gold and silver taking their lead from oil, which has not spiked back anywhere near $120, where it topped last March. Followers of this publication should know that while I am a fervent bull on precious metals on a secular basis, I believe we are now in a cyclical bear market with more downside risk until gold tops $4,900 and silver tops $100. Down nearly 30% year-to-date, if gold can close above that downtrend line at $4,350, it stands a good chance of testing the 100-dma at $4,613. SLV:US needs a nudge above $54 after which it should (there's that operative word again) track to the 100-dma at $67.35. That is a great trade from $50 where I entered the calls, but it is only that if the metals can ignore the war drums and oil's leading indicator status and forge ahead, driven by accelerating demand and improving money flow. The "money flow indicator" ("MFI") for the gold ETF (GLD:US) turned up in March despite weaker prices and is now trending UP, which is bullish. <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202671394058_Picture2.png" alt="" width="603" height="376" /> <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202671394108_Picture3.png" alt="" width="640" height="442" /> The bulls look to a global structural shortage of silver arriving over the next year, triggered by a massive increase in consumption. They point to surging demand from green energy (solar panels), electric vehicles, semiconductors, and artificial intelligence infrastructure (AI data centers). Notable silver bulls include Eric Sprott, who highlights "next-generation solid-state batteries (like Samsung's 900km-range battery) which require up to a kilogram of silver per unit." He notes that "if these are commercialized widely, they could consume nearly the entire global annual silver supply". The problem I have is that the bull case for silver and all of the accompanying bullet points that are rhymed off by these high-profile gurus is exactly what drove it to $123 back in January, yet prices are now down over 50% in five short months. These bullish arguments have not changed one iota since the January 29th peak but price most certainly has been rendering the future "uncertain at best". Without argument, silver may need a new catalyst to resume the assault on the old highs and thus far, all I hear is the same narrative recanted with the same fervor from all the same notables and if history has taught us one valuable lesson, it is that bullish narratives slowly fade into the sunset based solely on price and not upon repetition of the same old story. For these reasons, I am a short-term bull on silver, but make no mistake; I am a "renter" rather than an "owner" of this position in silver. While the secular case has not changed, there needs to be a world of technical reparations in both gold and silver before the "All Clear!" signal is sounded. The junior miners are doing to investors what they always do in the months of June through September: they are driving them to serial depression and aggravated angst. I rarely put out "sell" recommendations on issues I own until they have given me good reason to do so. I normally give company management the benefit of the doubt and enough time (and rope) to either succeed or hang themselves, but what I never do is put out a "sell" in March on 50% of all positions in advance of PDAC and the arrival of summer. Every single year, as far back as I can recall, I have made reference to the seasonality of the junior miners and how the best buying opportunity for the juniors is usually the last two weeks of August. The chart shown below is the seasonality chart for the S&P/TSX Venture Index, showing how August is perennially the weakest month of the calendar year for the junior mining sector. <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202671394143_Picture4.png" alt="" width="760" height="267" /> Despite my haranguing all through March and April over the fact that junior miners are heavily dependent upon drill results, the expectation of favorable drilling outcomes is always what keeps me from issuing "sells," and that has been a definite drawback, particularly in 2026. Last year, the summer doldrums were far less impactful and in fact unnoticeable because the months of June through September had gold, silver, and copper in clearly-defined uptrends about to enter the final "vertical" stage of ascent, which they did in unison in January of the following year. The current summer of 2026 is markedly different than last summer because Wall Street has done masterfully what Wall Street always does masterfully, and that is sculpt the investor narrative away from anything benefiting from inflation and toward anything benefiting from technology, which they argue enhances productivity and therefore advances the "human condition" with disinflationary repercussions. Whereas last January money was flowing with reckless abandon toward the "dollar debasement trade" otherwise known as the "hard assets trade", the Wall Street gang, riddled with envy, determined that they needed their own moonshot "story" where they could control prices (and charge fees) to replace the silver trade where they could not control prices and could not charge fees. So, what did they do? They conjured up the "AI" trade and replaced silver with the semiconductors; only the move in the semiconductors has absolutely dwarfed the move in silver in terms of total money flow and fees charged. The fees on the Spacex IPO were over $850 million spread out among some two-hundred companies which now has the moneychangers in New York focused 100% on "the next Spacex" and not to any large degree in the hunt for "the next silver deal" because the entire value of global silver dollar volume is simply too miniscule to facilitate the fee structure required by the Wall Street generals. So the junior mining investors are forced to sit back and watch the CNBC "colour commentators" squawk about how filthy rich Elon Musk is or how filthy rich Sam Altman is about to become while the entire group of "AI" companies buy each others products and each other's stock as they keep the largest Ponzi scheme in history alive and bubbling all on the pretense that the West is in a "Race for AI Supremacy" with the Chinese, the winner of which will be rewarded with global hegemony and reserve currency status for life. <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202671394207_Picture5.png" alt="" width="624" height="278" /> Lost in the shuffle are all of the bullish bullet points that drove the U.S. dollar index to 95.5, where the exact low for that currency coincided perfectly with the blow-off tops in gold and silver the same day, January 29, 2026. I get dozens of emails and DM's asking me why the national debt at nearly USD $39 trillion has not yet caused a run on the dollar and a crash in both U.S. treasuries and stocks, and I am at a loss to provide anything that might be construed as "sound advice". The only answer that seems plausible is the fact that the U.S. financial markets have been "the goose that keeps on giving" and as such, have been the one place where investors the world over have continually made money, and particularly in recent months, a great deal of money, especially in the semiconductors. The old expression — that "money gravitates to where it is treated best" — most certainly applies to the U.S. technology and U.S stocks in general. Once that becomes a thing of the past and the major U.S. markets roll over, taking the U.S. dollar back into its long-term downtrend, money will once again seek out sectors that are treating them "best", just as were the gold, silver, and copper juniors last year. In the interim, I am taking off on a tour of the Danube River next week while doing my best to ignore the bid-ask on my fully-funded junior miners, which have remained flat-to-down for most of the past six months despite some great news releases. I desperately want to see "September 1, 2026" on the calendar, and since staring at my phone or watch does nothing to hasten that event, I need to get my mind off these agonizing summer doldrums that happen every single year, leaving me scratching my head as to why every year I fail to lighten up when the ducks are all quacking in February. As a final punctuation mark on the juniors, we all must come to the realization that the Wall Street generals know all too well that their sitting president is a huge fan of the capital markets, whether it be trading tech stocks or launching his own cryptocurrency. With a "stockroach" scurrying around the White House, the New York gang that controls markets will never let the bull die without one whale of a battle. Too much money is being made promoting and promulgating the bull market narrative for them to gracefully cede control until it is no longer profitable to do so. Remember this: They will never ring a bell when it is time to leave the Wall Street party. Bear markets arrive like a thief in the night; you wake up in the morning, and all your valuables are gone. It may just be that the juniors will need to wait until the love affair with U.S. "AI" is over before they are able to treat money well. Events that underscore the current mania for the "AI" sector include the recent listing of SK Hynix Inc. (HKHYV:US), the largest-ever U.S. market debut by a non-American company. The South Korean semiconductor giant raised $26.5 billion by issuing American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) at $149 each, vaulting its market cap to approximately $1 trillion. When the junior miners once again begin to treat investors as well as these types of transactions have, all of the bullish bullet points for gold, silver, and copper miners will once again be current and will celebrate a return of the narrative that sent gold to $5,626, silver to $124.45, and copper to $6.78/lb. <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>Michael Ballanger: I, or members of my immediate household or family, own securities of: silver ETF (SLV).

That single chart holds more usable insight than every finance textbook stacked together. My hope is that you've leaned on it to shape your own investing calls and grown wealthier because of it. So let's revisit it today and see where it's pointing us for the back half of the decade. Here it is. Looks simple, almost too simple. It ranks the planet's biggest companies by market value, stretching all the way back to the 1980s. <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202671381521_2820a7_bed543e6d68b4aef86a2d9d11a500e31mv2.png" alt="" width="1000" height="373" /> See how every decade carried its own defining story? Oil names owned the '80s. Japan seized the '90s, grabbing eight of the top 10 slots. The internet claimed the 2000s. You can see the pattern. But here's the bigger takeaway: notice how the roster nearly reinvents itself every ten years. On Wall Street, the powerful don't stay powerful. They get overtaken and knocked aside. Even in 2010, oil and commodity heavyweights sat on top. Then by 2020, smartphones and fast, reliable internet cleared the runway for Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN:NASDAQ), Alphabet Inc. Class A (GOOGL:NASDAQ), Meta Platforms Inc. (META:NASDAQ),Apple Inc. (AAPL:NASDAQ), and Netflix Inc. (NFLX:NASDAQ) to deliver massive gains. But all of that is history now. The real question to ask yourself: What will this chart show in 2030? Let's take a look at 2026: <img class="center_enlarge" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/202671381628_2820a7_cfe2349af8864fc49e95a1c21808b1bemv2.png" alt="" width="599" height="623" /> Meta, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B:NYSE), Alibaba (BABA:NYSE), Tencent (TCEHY:OTCMKTS), and Visa Inc. (V:NYSE) have dropped off the list. Nvidia Corp. (NVDA:NASDAQ) now sits as the most valuable company on Earth. I believe we were the earliest analysts anywhere to forecast in writing—back in 2021, when the idea seemed almost absurd—that it would break into the top 10. Alongside Nvidia are fresh arrivals Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM:NYSE), Broadcom Inc. (AVGO:NASDAQ), Tesla Inc. (TSLA:NASDAQ), and the just-listed SpaceX (SPCX:NASDAQ). There's no mistaking this decade's headline story: artificial intelligence (AI). Nvidia builds the GPUs that run the AI surge. Taiwan Semiconductor produces the most cutting-edge chips on the market. Broadcom delivers custom AI chips and networking hardware to the hyperscalers. Tesla's trillion-dollar price tag rests on lofty hopes for its AI-driven, self-driving robotaxis and its plans to build physical AI into robots. <a href="https://www.riskhedge.com/the-jolt/the-other-record-spacex-quietly-broke-today" target="_blank" rel="noopener">We've covered how SpaceX's path forward depends on placing data centers in orbit to run AI</a>. On top of that, it holds xAI and two of the biggest AI data centers ever constructed, Colossus 1 and 2. Every one of these is an AI play. Consider their gains since ChatGPT launched in 2022: TSLA: +118%. TSM: +451%. AVGO: +570%. NVDA: +1,068%. SPCX: +1,534% (measured from its 2022 pre-IPO valuation). Over at our flagship service,<a href="http://riskhedge.com/disruption-investor-details?utm_source=RHD&utm_medium=JO&utm_campaign=rh-146&utm_term=260710-jolt&utm_content=RH146JO50087" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Disruption Investor</a>, we've held both NVDA and TSM since 2020. By way of contrast, the S&P 500 has climbed only 83% across that same stretch. Now, do you understand why I call this the most important chart in all of investing? It doesn't just debunk the idea that today's giants are permanently locked in at the summit… It proves that when you spot the decade's defining theme and hold the companies riding it, your wealth can grow fast. It also cuts through the endless daily chatter that does nothing but pull you away from your financial targets. Let Wall Street argue over valuations, rates, and far-off concepts like quantum computing or flying taxis. Keep this chart as your guiding light. What to do now: Stay invested in strong companies cashing in on AI. We're just past the decade's midpoint. AI should remain the defining theme through at least 2030. Might AI spending and hype cool off, sending AI stocks into a slide? Absolutely! But when it does, hold onto your guiding light and you'll steer the right way. On a side note, the two largest AI players—Anthropic (behind Claude) and OpenAI (behind ChatGPT)—still aren't publicly traded. Anthropic looks set to go public this year, with OpenAI likely following next year. Whether either can ever become a truly great business is something I'm skeptical about. But I'll save that for another day. If you haven't positioned yourself in AI the way I've laid out above, odds are you're not yet part of Disruption Investor. <a href="http://riskhedge.com/disruption-investor-details?utm_source=RHD&utm_medium=JO&utm_campaign=rh-146&utm_term=260710-jolt&utm_content=RH146JO50087" target="_blank" rel="noopener">You can fix that by heading here</a>.

With the metal trading well above prior-year levels, exploration and development programs at high-quality projects like Barsele are drawing renewed attention from retail investors seeking exposure to the sector. Goldsky Resources Corp. (GSKR:TSX.V) recently completed a landmark transaction that gives it full control over one of Northern Europe's most advanced gold projects. Goldsky Resources Corp. (GSKR:TSX.V) closed the <a href="https://goldskyresources.com/news/goldsky-resources-closes-barsele-gold-project-transaction-and-consolidates-100-ownership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acquisition of the remaining 55% interest in the Barsele gold project</a>. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why Goldsky Stands Out in Today's Gold Market</h2> By securing 100% ownership, Goldsky eliminates joint-venture complexities and gains complete decision-making authority over project timelines and budgets. This full ownership allows the company to accelerate exploration without needing partner approvals, a meaningful advantage for retail investors evaluating execution risk. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Assets and Strategic Advantages</h2> The Barsele project now sits at the center of Goldsky's portfolio. The company has outlined plans for one of the largest drilling campaigns in the project's history, supported by an experienced Sweden-based team that joined as part of the transaction. Goldsky also holds the Rajapalot property in Finland, providing geographic diversification across two stable mining jurisdictions. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Industry Timing and Gold Price Trends</h2> Junior miners and exploration companies hit the ground running this year after gold rallied at a high of US$5,500 per ounce in January. Many companies, like South Pacific, chose to begin exploration or production amid these highs. While prices have since fallen, and even dipped below US$4,000 in June, rates are still up <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/gold-prices-today-monday-july-121321784.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">24%</a> compared to July 2025, and <a href="https://www.gold.org/goldhub/research/gold-mid-year-outlook-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gold.org</a> wrote that: "[T]he stage is set for a possible breakout. On the upside, clear catalysts a worsening economy or renewed geopolitical shock, a shift towards lower interest-rate expectations, or a wave of dip buying could reignite gold's momentum and lift it back towards US$4,500/oz or above." Renewed tensions between the U.S. and Iran dropped gold prices on July 10, 2026, with the per-ounce price sinking to only <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-07-10/gold-silver-soften-hormuz-oil-risk-keeps-yields-firm-kitco-am-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US$4,104.30</a>. Inflationary fears were reignited after Brent crude oil prices rose again after a several-week ceasefire between the two countries lost its stability. 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." 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;"> Views and Valuation</h2> Analysts have responded positively to the increased ownership. On July 8, 2026, Jonathan Guy of Hannam & Partners gave Goldsky a target price of CA$8.50, implying a 167% upside in share price. Guy wrote: "Our SOTP for Goldsky is comprised of our base case DCF for Barsele, at a 0.50x NAV multiple to account for additional work and studies required." For <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/paydirt-prospector/newsletters/mid-summer-full-portfolio-update-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Paydirt Prospector, Jeff Clark and Daniel Flynn</a> held an "Overweight" rating on the company on July 9, 2026, writing: "Frankly, Barsele is unusually advanced for a project without a PEA 2.15 Moz (million ounces) Indicated and Inferred, backed up by plenty of drilling and technical work. Putting real numbers on the project could surprise the market. Beyond that, Goldsky also has the wider Gold Line Belt and Rajapalot in Finland to drill and explore this year." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Investor Takeaways</h2> <ul> <li>Goldsky now holds 100% of the Barsele gold project after completing a US$20 million cash and share transaction with Agnico Eagle Sweden AB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM:TSX; AEM:NYSE).</li> <li>The deal also includes a 2% net smelter return royalty to Agnico Eagle and assumption of an existing 2% royalty in favor of Orex Minerals Inc. (REX:TSX.V)., along with investor rights for Agnico Eagle.</li> <li>A CA$25 million study and development program is planned for Barsele starting in Q3 2026, alongside a PEA for Rajapalot by year-end.</li> <li>Updated mineral resource estimates for both projects are expected before the end of 2026, providing potential catalysts for share price movement.</li> <li>Analyst target prices suggest significant upside if the company executes on its expanded drilling plans.</li> </ul> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Share Structure and Upcoming Events</h2> Goldsky Resources Corp. has a market cap of CA$833.96 million, with 263.91 million shares outstanding. The company has a 52-week range of CA$1.28-CA$4.64. 1Institutions own 4.28% of shares, while Strategic Investors own 31.40%. Management & Insiders own 1.39%, and the remaining 62.93% of shares are held by Retail. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11523] <h2 style="text-align: center;">Common Questions from Investors</h2> What is a PEA? A Preliminary Economic Assessment is an early-stage study that outlines potential mining scenarios and economics for a project. Why does 100% ownership matter? Full ownership removes joint-venture delays and gives Goldsky sole control over development decisions and timelines. When will new drilling results appear? Significant project activity is expected to generate continuous newsflow across 2026 and 2027, according to the company's <a href="https://goldskyresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/26-06-26-June-2026-Presentation.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investor presentation</a>. What risks should investors consider? Gold prices can fluctuate with macroeconomic events, and exploration outcomes are never guaranteed despite strong existing resources. Goldsky's expanded ownership and upcoming study work position the company to deliver steady news through the remainder of 2026 and into 2027. Retail investors monitoring gold equities may find the combination of advanced resources and planned drilling programs worth following closely.

Learn key catalysts for retail investors now.The global push for reliable, low-carbon power is creating a major opportunity in uranium. Nuclear capacity could double by 2050 according to the International Atomic Energy Agency, while the United States aims to quadruple its own nuclear output to 400 gigawatts by the same year. This backdrop places companies with active US production and expansion plans in a strong position. Uranium Energy Corp. (UEC:NYSE AMERICAN) stands out because it is building a complete domestic supply chain from mining through conversion. The company filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended April 30, 2026, detailing progress across multiple in-situ recovery sites and a planned conversion facility. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why Uranium Energy Corp. Stands Out for Investors</h2> Unlike many peers that focus on exploration only, Uranium Energy Corp. operates producing ISR assets in Texas and Wyoming. ISR, or in-situ recovery, extracts uranium by circulating oxygenated water through underground ore bodies, avoiding the need for traditional open-pit or underground mining. This method typically carries lower costs and a smaller surface footprint. The company also secured a Docket Number from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to build a uranium conversion facility under its subsidiary Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp. This step moves Uranium Energy Corp. closer to becoming America's only vertically integrated nuclear fuel supplier, handling material from mining to conversion. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Investor Takeaways</h2> <ul> <li>Production has started at the Burke Hollow ISR project in South Texas, the largest new greenfield ISR operation in the US in over a decade.</li> <li>Expanded output is underway at Christensen Ranch with three new header houses online and five more under construction.</li> <li>Advanced delineation drilling is complete at both the Ludeman and Sweetwater projects, positioning them as future production centers.</li> <li>A pre-feasibility study is progressing at the Roughrider project in Canada's Athabasca Basin, with core drilling over 80 percent complete.</li> <li>The company holds US$818 million in liquid assets, carries no debt, and owns the largest S-K 1300 compliant ISR resource base in the United States.</li> <li>Price targets range from US$16.00 to US$26.75, reflecting both current operations and longer-term supply-chain potential.</li> </ul> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Recent Operational Progress and Catalysts</h2> During the quarter, 32,195 pounds of uranium concentrate were produced at an average cost of US$54.61 per pound. Production volumes were lower in the following quarter, mainly because new header houses received regulatory approval later than expected, and state taxes increased. Rates are forecast to rise once additional header houses begin operating at both Christensen Ranch and Burke Hollow. At Christensen Ranch, three new header houses in Wellfield 11 started production late in the quarter. Five more header houses are under construction, and one is finished, awaiting final regulatory clearance. Ludeman is slated to become the company's third operating ISR mine once permitting advances, while Sweetwater is being developed on a hub-and-spoke model after a 200-hole delineation program finished in the first two planned wellfields. The Roughrider project in Saskatchewan continues to advance, supported by an independent study confirming strong potential. Separately, an independent report highlighted the Alto Paran titanium and vanadium project in Paraguay as a meaningful critical-minerals asset that could help diversify US supply chains. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Industry Timing and Perspectives</h2> The United States consumes roughly 50 million pounds of uranium annually, yet imports about 95 percent of its supply. Recent executive orders aim to reduce this dependence. Several companies are advancing domestic projects, and Uranium Energy Corp. is among the few with operating ISR production plus a conversion facility in the regulatory queue. On July 9, 2026, Jeff Clark and Daniel Flynn of <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/paydirt-prospector/newsletters/mid-summer-full-portfolio-update-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Paydirt Prospector</a> described the operational picture as attractive, citing current ISR output, upcoming growth at multiple sites, a strong balance sheet, and full leverage to higher uranium prices. They view the stock as a long-term holding. Recent analyst notes compiled by <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSEAMERICAN/UEC/forecast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marketbeat</a> include a reiterated Buy rating and US$26.75 target from H.C. Wainwright, a Buy rating and US$16.00 target from Goldman Sachs, a US$17.00 target from Roth Capital, and a Buy rating with a US$21.00 target from Craig Hutchison. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Share Structure and Market Position</h2> Uranium Energy Corp. has a market capitalization of US$5.03 billion and 494.87 million shares outstanding. The 52-week trading range is US$6.00 to US$20.34. 1Institutions hold 84.61 percent of shares, management and insiders own 1.75 percent, and retail investors hold the remaining 13.64 percent. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-402] <h2 style="text-align: center;">Common Questions from Investors</h2> What is ISR uranium production? In-situ recovery uses oxygenated water circulated through underground deposits to dissolve and pump uranium to the surface, typically at lower cost and with less surface disturbance than conventional mining. Why is a conversion facility important? Conversion turns uranium concentrate into a form suitable for enrichment and fuel fabrication; owning this step allows greater control over the supply chain and potential margin capture. How does Burke Hollow compare to other US projects? It is the largest new greenfield ISR project to reach production in more than a decade, offering meaningful scale once fully ramped. What are the main risks? Regulatory timing, uranium price volatility, and execution of expansion plans can affect results; investors should review the company's filings for detailed disclosures. Uranium Energy Corp. continues to execute on a clear plan to expand US production while developing the infrastructure needed for a fully domestic nuclear fuel cycle. Retail investors can monitor upcoming header-house starts and regulatory milestones for signs of further production growth. <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>Jordan Nova wrote this article for Streetwise Reports LLC and provides services to Streetwise Reports as an employee. </li> <li>This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.

(PNE:TSX.V) announces its regular monthly dividend while geopolitical tensions lift oil prices and support long-term growth for this Canadian natural gas producer.Retail investors seeking stable income in the energy sector are taking note of Pine Cliff Energy Ltd. (PNE:TSX.V) following its latest dividend announcement. The company, a Canadian natural gas and oil producer, continues to demonstrate disciplined growth while navigating volatile commodity markets driven by global events. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Geopolitical Shifts Create Opportunity for Domestic Producers</h2> The recent conflict between the U.S. and Iran has heightened the importance of a reliable North American energy supply. Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have already pushed oil prices higher, underscoring the value of companies that produce closer to home markets. As of early morning July 9, 2026, oil prices had jumped by US$1.08 from the prior day to reach <a href="https://fortune.com/article/price-of-oil-07-09-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US$79.25</a> per barrel. While this remains below the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/08/oil-prices-rise-iran-attack-tankers-strait-of-hormuz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US$110</a> per barrel seen at the peak of tensions, prices are still US$8.30 above levels from one year earlier. Market analysts have stopped short of forecasting a return to oil prices of more than US$100 a barrel after finding the global market was more resilient to disruption than initially feared, according to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/08/oil-prices-rise-iran-attack-tankers-strait-of-hormuz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jillian Ambrose of The Guardian</a>. The real test will come after <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/03/ali-khamenei-six-day-funeral-millions-iran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the burial ceremony</a> of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, later this week, once the U.S. and Iran show whether there is still an appetite for a diplomatic off-ramp. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why Pine Cliff Energy Stands Out Today</h2> Pine Cliff Energy has scaled operations significantly over the past decade, expanding from just 100 BOED (barrels of oil equivalent per day, a standard industry measure combining oil and natural gas output) in 2012 to approximately 20,000 BOED currently. This growth reflects a focused strategy centered on natural gas production in Alberta, Canada. The company operates in a region with established infrastructure, helping it maintain cost efficiency while meeting steady demand from both domestic and potential export customers. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Investor Takeaways</h2> <ul> <li>Pine Cliff announced a <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!PNE-3838025/C/PNE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">regular monthly dividend</a> of CA$0.00125 per share, payable July 31, 2026, to shareholders of record on July 16, 2026, with these dividends expected to be designated as non-eligible for Canadian tax purposes.</li> <li>The company has grown production dramatically from 100 BOED in 2012 to 20,000 BOED today through consistent operational scaling in Alberta.</li> <li>Two analysts recently issued Buy ratings, both targeting CA$0.85 per share, signaling professional confidence in the stock.</li> <li>A new 25-year supply agreement with a data center provides long-term revenue visibility beyond traditional energy buyers.</li> <li>Potential construction of a Shell LNG export terminal could open additional demand channels for Pine Cliff's output.</li> <li>Retail investors hold the majority of shares (84.97 percent), giving individual ownership significant influence over the company's direction.</li> </ul> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Unique Business Advantages and Catalysts</h2> Beyond traditional production, Pine Cliff recently signed a 25-year supply deal with a data center, according to its <a href="https://www.pinecliffenergy.com/investor-relations#presentations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investor presentation</a>. This long-term contract creates a stable customer base that can help smooth revenue during commodity price swings. The company is also monitoring Shell's decision on a proposed liquid natural gas export terminal in Canada. If constructed, the facility would represent an important new outlet for Canadian natural gas, potentially benefiting producers like Pine Cliff that operate in the region. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Perspectives and Valuation Context</h2> <a href="https://www.investing.com/equities/pine-cliff-energy-ltd-consensus-estimates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Two analysts</a> have recently weighed in on Pine Cliff. On March 15, 2026, Desjardins issued a Buy rating with a CA$0.85 price target. On April 13, 2026, Canaccord followed with its own Buy rating and an identical CA$0.85 target. These aligned views provide investors with a clear professional benchmark against the company's current trading range. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Share Structure and Ownership Profile</h2> Pine Cliff Energy Ltd. maintains a market capitalization of CA$211.69 million based on 358.79 million shares outstanding. The 52-week trading range spans CA$0.55 to CA$0.91. 1Institutional investors hold 10.70 percent of shares, while management and insiders control 4.33 percent. Retail investors account for the remaining 84.97 percent. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-6768] <h2 style="text-align: center;">Common Questions from Investors</h2> What is a non-eligible dividend? It is a dividend that does not qualify for the enhanced dividend tax credit in Canada, typically resulting in a higher effective tax rate for taxable accounts. How does BOED differ from barrels of oil? BOED combines oil and natural gas volumes into a single oil-equivalent measure using standard energy conversion factors, allowing investors to compare total production across companies. Why does an LNG terminal matter? Export terminals enable Canadian producers to access global pricing, which can support higher realized prices than domestic markets alone. What risks should investors consider? Natural gas prices remain volatile, and any delays in export infrastructure could affect growth timelines. Pine Cliff Energy offers retail investors a combination of monthly income, proven production growth, and exposure to favorable long-term energy demand trends. Its conservative approach to expansion and emerging customer relationships positions the company to benefit from both current market conditions and future infrastructure developments in Canada. <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>Jordan Nova wrote this article for Streetwise Reports LLC and provides services to Streetwise Reports as an employee. </li> <li>This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.

(AG:TSX; AG:NYSE; FMV:FSE) has reported another quarter of operational strength that positions the company well within the current precious metals environment. Silver and gold prices continue to draw investor attention due to ongoing economic uncertainty and rising industrial demand for silver. The company stands out because of its focused portfolio of producing assets in Mexico, combined with a clear plan to restart a major U.S. operation. This combination gives retail investors exposure to both near-term cash flow and longer-term growth potential. First Majestic operates four underground mines that deliver silver and gold, along with meaningful by-product credits from zinc, lead, and copper. The diversified output helps stabilize revenue when individual metal prices fluctuate. In the second quarter, the company produced 3.8 million ounces of silver, 34,660 ounces of gold, 16.5 million pounds of zinc, 9 million pounds of lead, and 252,938 pounds of copper. Silver output rose 3 percent, and gold output rose 2 percent compared with the same period in 2025. <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!AG-3839543/C/AG" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Q2 2026 production results</a> also highlighted record monthly mill throughput at two sites and continued progress on expansion projects expected to finish in the third quarter. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Investor Takeaways</h2> <ul> <li>Production exceeded original guidance, prompting the company to raise full-year 2026 estimates across multiple operations.</li> <li>Expansion projects at Santa Elena and Los Gatos remain on schedule, supporting higher future throughput.</li> <li>The recent sale of the Del Toro mine to Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. (SM:TSX.V; SMDRF:OTCQX) for up to CA$60 million strengthens the balance sheet and allows focus on core assets.</li> <li>Strong safety metrics and lower carbon intensity were achieved despite record production levels.</li> <li>A new CFO with extensive global experience joined the leadership team in July 2026.</li> <li>Restart work at the Jerritt Canyon gold mine in Nevada is advancing toward production in the second half of 2027.</li> </ul> Management also secured permits and additional funding for the Santo Nio and Navidad targets, where recent infill drilling returned multiple high-grade silver-gold intercepts. These developments add near-term exploration upside within the existing mine footprint. The broader precious metals market continues to offer support. Silver benefits from growing demand in electric vehicles, solar panels, and data centers.

This environment creates a compelling backdrop for companies advancing high-grade assets in stable jurisdictions. West Point Gold Corp. (WPG:TSXV; WPGCF:OTCQX; LRA0:FSE) stands out with fresh assay results from the Northeast Tyro zone at its Gold Chain Project in Arizona. The company recently released <a href="https://westpointgold.com/west-point-gold-tyro-drill-results-july-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assay results from two drill holes at the high-grade Northeast Tyro zone within its Gold Chain Project in Arizona.</a> These intercepts build directly on prior drilling and demonstrate clear potential for resource expansion. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why West Point Gold Captures Investor Attention Now</h2> The latest holes confirm the Northeast Tyro vein system continues to widen at depth while remaining open in multiple directions. This geological continuity supports the company's strategy of systematically defining a scalable gold deposit ahead of its planned maiden resource estimate later in 2026. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Investor Takeaways</h2> <ul> <li>Recent drilling returned 56.4 meters grading 4.24 g/t gold, including a higher-grade core of 28.9 meters at 7.77 g/t gold.</li> <li>The Northeast Tyro zone shows evidence of multiple mineralizing events and potential extension below 270 meters depth.</li> <li>Analysts from Paradigm Capital see a path to 1.5-2.0 million ounces in the maiden resource at attractive grades.</li> <li>Pending assays from 5,920 meters of drilling will feed directly into the upcoming resource model.</li> <li>Additional Nevada assets provide further exploration upside through partner-funded work at Jefferson Canyon.</li> </ul> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Unique Advantages of the Gold Chain Project</h2> West Point Gold's flagship asset benefits from excellent infrastructure and a low-sulphidation epithermal setting that has already delivered wide, predictable intercepts. Deep drilling indicates the system may host stacked mineralizing events, a feature that can support larger overall resources than initially anticipated. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Industry Timing and Market Tailwinds</h2> <a href="https://www.jmbullion.com/charts/gold-price/?wickedsource=google&wickedid=CjwKCAjw9szSBhBNEiwAC57Sq59liIter-ym3IEhDY5T1UFI0BS9opnUUTnWauVVOCedhZRCw80aYhoCvMoQAvD_BwE&w_adid=808952602485&w_campaignid=173655985&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=173655985&gbraid=0AAAAADwTUk9ojoA_81KIFjJUF-5hEzsY2&gclid=CjwKCAjw9szSBhBNEiwAC57Sq59liIter-ym3IEhDY5T1UFI0BS9opnUUTnWauVVOCedhZRCw80aYhoCvMoQAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">As of July 12, the spot price of gold was US$4,121.94 per ounce</a>. <a href="https://www.kitco.com/opinion/2026-07-10/gold-5000-how-futures-trader-could-position-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a July 10 commentary from Kitco Media,</a> seasonal strength through summer months and inflation concerns could keep prices supported. <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/commodities/articles/gold-outlook-geopolitics-interest-rates-100300997.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">InvestorsHub wrote on July 12 that gold had "reaffirmed its role as one of the world's leading safe-haven assets after climbing back above US$4,100 per ounce," </a> reinforcing the timing for development-stage gold projects. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Views and Valuation Context</h2> Paradigm Capital initiated coverage with a Speculative Buy rating and CA$3.30 target, highlighting that the two primary zones already host approximately 1.1 million ounces at 2.1 g/t gold. They view the Northeast Tyro zone as having significant upside, potentially reaching 0.8 million ounces or more with further drilling. Market commentators also reacted positively to earlier high-grade intercepts. <a href="https://www.equedia.com/the-hole-that-refused-to-quit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Also on June 23, Carlisle Kane of Equedia Investment Research compared the reported grades with regional mining averages</a>, noting grades roughly 35 times higher than typical southwestern U.S. open-pit averages. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Share Structure and Upcoming Catalysts</h2> West Point Gold holds a market capitalization of CA$180.83 million with 135.97 million shares outstanding. 1Institutions hold 25.7 percent, management and insiders control 6.3 percent, and retail investors own the remaining 68 percent. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11225] Remaining assays from the 21,079-meter program and the maiden resource estimate represent near-term catalysts. <a href="https://westpointgold.com/investors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">West Point Gold said results from the remaining approximately 21,000-meter drill program at Gold Chain</a> will support resource definition. Additional work at Nevada projects, including partner-funded drilling at Jefferson Canyon, adds further optionality. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Common Questions from Investors</h2> Q: How significant are the latest drill results? A: The intercepts confirm both grade continuity and widening of the vein system at depth, supporting resource growth potential. Q: When will the maiden resource be released? A: The company targets the release of the maiden resource later in 2026 once pending assays are incorporated. Q: What is the current market capitalization? A: West Point Gold trades with a market cap of approximately CA$180.83 million. Q: Are there other assets beyond Gold Chain? A: Yes, the company holds advanced exploration projects in Nevada, including Baxter Spring and Jefferson Canyon. West Point Gold continues to advance a high-grade gold project in a favorable jurisdiction at a time when gold prices remain elevated. The combination of strong drill results, analyst support, and upcoming catalysts positions the company for potential value creation as it moves toward resource definition. <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 West Point Gold Corp. </li> <li>Jordan Nova wrote this article for Streetwise Reports LLC and provides services to Streetwise Reports as an employee.</li> <li>This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.

Discover the drill results, analyst targets, and why this gold explorer stands out in a supportive market.The gold sector continues to offer compelling opportunities for retail investors seeking exposure to rising metal prices and exploration upside. 55 North Mining Inc. (FFF:CSE; 6YF:FSE) has emerged as a focused player advancing a high-grade gold asset in a proven Canadian district. Investors evaluating early-stage gold companies often look first at recent drill results that demonstrate both resource growth and grade continuity. 55 North Mining delivered exactly that with its winter program at the Last Hope gold deposit. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why 55 North Mining Stands Out in Today's Gold Market</h2> Gold prices have shown resilience despite volatility, trading well above levels seen a year earlier. This environment rewards companies that can extend known mineralization and reduce geological risk through targeted drilling. 55 North Mining fits this profile by concentrating resources on a single advanced project rather than spreading efforts across multiple early-stage targets. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Assets and Recent Drill Success at Last Hope</h2> The Last Hope gold deposit lies roughly 10 kilometers south of Alamos Gold's Lynn Lake project in Manitoba, Canada. The company announced the <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!FFF-3838950/C/FFF" target="_blank" rel="noopener">results of its 2026 winter diamond drill program</a> that successfully extended gold mineralization 300 meters beyond the current Mineral Resource Estimate boundary. All seven holes intersected visible quartz veining with disseminated pyrite, confirming the geological model. Strong assay highlights included 2.49 g/t Au over 19.42 m in hole LH26-02, which contained a higher-grade interval of 4.50 m at 5.34 g/t Au. Hole LH26-04 returned 6.91 g/t Au over 2.56 m, including 1.33 m at 12.60 g/t Au, plus an additional 7.61 g/t Au over 1.50 m. Hole LH26-07 intersected 13.60 g/t Au over 1.00 m. These intercepts demonstrate both continuity inside the existing resource and expansion potential along strike and down-plunge. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Industry Timing and Supportive Gold Market Trends</h2> Gold rallied to US$5,500 per ounce earlier in the year before moderating, yet prices remain up <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/gold-prices-today-monday-july-121321784.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">24%</a> compared to July 2025. <a href="https://www.gold.org/goldhub/research/gold-mid-year-outlook-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gold.org</a> noted that catalysts such as renewed geopolitical tensions or shifts in interest-rate expectations could push prices back toward US$4,500 per ounce or higher. Recent tensions between the U.S. and Iran briefly pressured prices to US$4,104.30 per ounce, while <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> that central bank buying and geopolitical risk continue to support a price floor. The World Bank forecast a 17% rise in global metals prices for 2026, marking the first broad increase since 2022. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Views and Valuation Perspective</h2> In February 2026, analyst Ron Wortel of Couloir Capital highlighted 55 North Mining as a high-leverage opportunity, setting a CA$3.20 price target representing substantial upside. The recommendation targeted risk-tolerant investors and noted the strategic location within an emerging Canadian mining district. The successful completion of the winter drill program has since addressed one of the key risks identified at the time of that report. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Share Structure and Upcoming Catalysts</h2> 55 North Mining Inc. maintains a market capitalization of CA$12.21 million with 34.95 million shares outstanding. The 52-week trading range spans CA$0.17 to CA$0.65. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11566] 1Institutional investors hold 1.26% of shares, management and insiders own 7.82%, and retail investors account for the remaining 90.92%. The company's <a href="https://55northmining.ca/investors/presentation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investor presentation</a> highlights an Impact Benefit Agreement with the Marcel Colomb First Nation and anticipated infrastructure advantages tied to the nearby Lynn Lake development expected in 2027. Assay results will guide the next phase of sampling and drilling. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Investor Takeaways</h2> <ul> <li>55 North Mining extended gold mineralization 300 meters beyond the current resource at Last Hope, confirming the deposit remains open along strike.</li> <li>Multiple high-grade intercepts, including 13.60 g/t Au over 1 meter and 5.34 g/t Au over 4.5 meters, demonstrate both continuity and expansion potential.</li> <li>The company maintains a tight share structure with low institutional ownership, leaving room for re-rating as results are digested.</li> <li>Gold market fundamentals remain supportive, with prices still significantly higher year-over-year despite recent volatility.</li> <li>An analyst price target of CA$3.20 implies substantial upside, though investors must weigh exploration risks typical of junior miners.</li> <li>Near-term catalysts include follow-up drilling decisions and potential resource growth from the extended mineralized zone.</li> </ul> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Common Questions from Investors</h2> What is a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE)? An MRE is a technical report that quantifies the tonnage and grade of gold that can reasonably be expected to be mined under current economic conditions. Why do step-out holes matter? Step-out holes test areas outside the known resource to determine whether mineralization continues, potentially increasing the overall size of the deposit. How does g/t Au relate to economic value? Grams per tonne (g/t) measures gold concentration; higher numbers generally indicate richer material that may support lower-cost mining. What risks should retail investors consider? Junior explorers face dilution, permitting delays, and commodity price swings; results to date reduce but do not eliminate geological uncertainty. Is the project near existing infrastructure? Yes, proximity to the Lynn Lake area provides potential access to roads, power, and future development synergies. Retail investors seeking leveraged gold exposure may find 55 North Mining's focused approach and recent drill success worth monitoring as the company advances its flagship asset. <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 55 North Mining.</li> <li>Jordan Nova wrote this article for Streetwise Reports LLC and provides services to Streetwise Reports as an employee. </li> <li>This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.

As a company, Centenario Gold Corp. works to be committed to sustainable exploration by working with local governments and communities and has an experienced development team. The recent high-grade results at Los Reyes demonstrate the project's ability to deliver meaningful copper, zinc, gold, and molybdenum values from historic mining areas. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Assets and Catalysts at Los Reyes</h2> Centenario Gold Corp. completed the mapping and sampling of old mine dumps and underground workings at the El Rey mineral concession. Historically, copper-rich skarn zones (mineral deposits formed where intrusive rocks contact limestone) have been mined along the intrusive-limestone contact zone. The samples were taken from two major old mining areas roughly 200 meters apart: the Tueda shaft zone and the Jibosa shaft zone. All samples, minus two, were channel-cut samples from across rock outcrops. In total, 58 samples were taken from surface rock outcrops, waste dumps and pits, and underground workings. Centenario reported seven samples from surface outcrops, 11 samples from waste dumps and shallow pits located near the Tueda shaft, and 40 samples collectively taken from underground at the Tueda and Jibosa old mines. Historically, Jibosa has hosted copper-rich zones that have been known to reach up to 30 meters in width and 100 meters in length, sometimes extending hundreds of meters down and laterally along the intrusive-sediment contact. Sample no. 417995, taken from a stockpile of rock material that appeared to represent the standard 'mine feed' that was mined out of Jibosa 100 years ago, has returned grades of 7.19% copper and 2.88% zinc. Separately, sample no. 417968, which returned a copper grade of 27.9%, came from a 0.6-meter-wide fracture filling zone located along one of the underground tunnels 20 meters below the surface. The Tueda shaft samples have returned significant samples of molybdenum and gold, suggesting that gold is present and possibly widely distributed in the Los Reyes mineralized system. It is the company's intention to drill test this target in the upcoming drilling program in order to see how the gold and molybdenum mineralization increases both laterally and at depth. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Industry Timing and Trends Supporting Growth</h2> Junior miners and exploration companies hit the ground running this year after gold rallied at a high of US$5,500 per ounce in January. Many companies, like Centenario Gold Corp., chose to begin exploration or production amid these highs. While prices have since fallen, and even dipped below US$4,000 in June, rates are still up <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/gold-prices-today-monday-july-121321784.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">24%</a> compared to July 2025, and <a href="https://www.gold.org/goldhub/research/gold-mid-year-outlook-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gold.org</a> wrote that: "[T]he stage is set for a possible breakout. On the upside, clear catalysts – a worsening economy or renewed geopolitical shock, a shift towards lower interest-rate expectations, or a wave of dip buying — could reignite gold's momentum and lift it back towards US$4,500/oz or above." Inflationary fears were reignited after Brent crude oil prices rose again after a several-week ceasefire between the two countries lost its stability, but gold rebounded when U.S. home sale prices dropped <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-07-09/gold-price-pushes-session-highs-us-existing-home-sales-drop-24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2.4%</a>, signaling hope for a healthier economy.

SMM further wrote that imported cargo arrivals had remained scattered and smelter maintenance was "unlikely to end in the short term," making a concentrated inventory build "unlikely." <a href="https://ng.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/copper-holds-steady-as-dollar-weakens-inventories-decline-93CH-2597044" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Investing.com reported later on July 13 that copper prices remained steady as the U.S. dollar weakened, </a>while gains were limited by escalating military conflict between the United States and Iran and rising oil prices. The publication stated that "a weaker U.S. dollar makes dollar-denominated metals less expensive for buyers using other currencies, which could increase demand." It also reported that copper inventories in London Metal Exchange-approved warehouses had fallen "more than 20% since the end of May to a four-month low of 305,200 tons." <h2 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" style="text-align: center;" data-section-id="g6jh78" data-start="0" data-end="79">Paydirt Prospector Remained Overweight as Drilling Follow-Up Approached</h2> <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/paydirt-prospector/newsletters/mid-summer-full-portfolio-update-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a July 9 portfolio update from Paydirt Prospector</a>, Jeff Clark and Daniel Flynn wrote that the broader backdrop for gold equities had become more challenging, stating that "macro worries, inflation concerns and the prospects of rate increases have weighed on sentiment, and many mining stocks have declined even while the original investment thesis has grown stronger." They added that "the setup is compelling, valuations are attractive, and the next few months will bring strong catalysts for many of our companies." Discussing Pacific Empire Minerals specifically, Clark and Flynn wrote that the company "hit the holy grail in December with a genuinely excellent first Trident result: 183m of 1.23% copper equivalent, pointing to a potentially massive, vertically extensive porphyry system." They also stated that "the story is now stronger," noting that the company was "funded for follow-up drilling" and had "shifted its approach to look at the wider Trident-Pinnacle system as one big copper-gold opportunity." The analysts concluded, "We're overweight." <h2 style="text-align: center;" data-section-id="ksg1cb" data-start="2916" data-end="2951">Exploration Activities Underway</h2> With field operations underway, the company's exploration program includes diamond drilling, geophysics, and geological mapping across the Trident and Pinnacle projects.

Phillip Streible wrote that conflict in the Middle East had increased inflation concerns and strengthened expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve could deliver at least one interest rate hike before year-end. He also noted that "soft June payrolls argue for patience" even as Treasury yields moved higher. Streible wrote that technical resistance was located near US$4,200 and said: "A breakout above that trendline could spark a sudden move to US$4,700." He also stated that "central bank purchases" were expected to return over time and that retail investors could drive exchange-traded fund inflows once markets received confirmation that the Federal Reserve had reached the end of its tightening cycle. According to the commentary, gold had also demonstrated seasonal strength during July and August over the previous 15 years. <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/commodities/articles/gold-outlook-geopolitics-interest-rates-100300997.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">InvestorsHub wrote on July 12 that gold had "reaffirmed its role as one of the world's leading safe-haven assets"</a> after climbing back above US$4,100 per ounce as geopolitical uncertainty increased following renewed military tensions involving the United States and Iran. The report stated that continued uncertainty surrounding the Middle East supported demand for defensive assets. The InvestorsHub analysis also said that Federal Reserve policy remained "a key driver" for the gold market. According to the report, policymakers continued to hold differing views on the future path of interest rates, reflecting uncertainty over inflation and economic growth. It added that "periods of policy uncertainty often increase demand for defensive assets such as gold," while investors also continued assessing inflation risks, geopolitical developments, and the possibility of slower global economic growth. The report further noted that weaker oil prices had weighed on the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields, providing additional support for precious metals. According to InvestorsHub, the relationship between oil prices, the U.S. dollar, and gold remained an important market theme as investors monitored inflation expectations and monetary policy. <h2 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" style="text-align: center;" data-section-id="86vipg" data-start="0" data-end="96">Newsletter Authors Highlight Federal Approval as a Key Milestone</h2> In a May 19 research note, Haywood analysts Marcus Giannini and Mark Westaway maintained a Buy rating with a CA$1.25 target price. The analysts wrote, "We view today's results positively, as First Mining continues to demonstrate the continuity of mineralized structures," and said that recent exploration programs "continue to reshape the perception that Duparquet is relatively mature from an exploration standpoint." They also stated, "We see meaningful growth potential beyond the project's currently defined 6.0Moz gold inventory," and concluded, "We recommend accumulating shares of FF at current levels." According to a July 2 research report from Cantor Fitzgerald, analyst Matthew O'Keefe maintained a Buy rating and increased his target price to CA$1.50 per share from CA$1.20. O'Keefe wrote, "The Federal EA approval is a key catalyst and major milestone for First Mining Gold," adding that the environmental assessment process "determined that the Project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects."

(STUD:TSX; STLNF:OTCQB; FE0:FSE) identified four priority target areas after completing interpretation of a VTEM Plus airborne electromagnetic survey at its Moonlite Project.Stallion Uranium Corp. (STUD:TSX; STLNF:OTCQB; FE0; FSE) reported <a href="https://www.stallionuranium.com/news/news-releases/stallion-uranium-defines-priority-target-areas-from-vtem-survey-on-stone-island-target-moonlite-project" target="_blank" rel="noopener">that it has completed the interpretation of its Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) Plus airborne electromagnetic survey and magnetic interpretation over the Stone Island Target at its Moonlite Project in the Southwestern Athabasca Basin.</a> The company said it integrated the VTEM dataset with magnetic tilt derivative data to define multiple priority conductive trends and structurally controlled target areas for follow-up exploration. The VTEM Plus survey, completed by Geotech Ltd., consisted of two grids located south of the company's flagship Coyote Target. According to the company, the survey was designed to refine conductive structural corridors and identify additional drill targets across the broader Moonlite property. <a href="https://www.stallionuranium.com/news/news-releases/stallion-uranium-defines-priority-target-areas-from-vtem-survey-on-stone-island-target-moonlite-project" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew Schwab, CEO of Stallion, said in a company news release</a>, "We are now clearly defining multiple priority target areas at the Stone Island Target through the integration of VTEM and magnetic data. The identification of several discrete targets significantly expands our exploration pipeline and reinforces the broader potential of the Moonlite Project within the Southwestern Athabasca Basin." The company said integrated VTEM Plus and magnetic tilt interpretation identified four priority target areas, designated A through D, at Stone Island. Strong to moderate Tau responses outlined graphitic basement conductors, while multiple parallel to sub-parallel conductive trends defined a broad structural corridor. Magnetic tilt derivative data highlighted structural breaks, offsets, and cross-cutting lineaments that enhanced the interpretation of fault-controlled architecture. The priority targets occur along conductor margins and zones of structural disruption. Target A is located along the western portion of the northeast survey block and corresponds to a moderate to high Tau response situated along the margin of a primary conductor. Target B, in the northwestern portion of the northeast block, is associated with a strong conductive response and increased structural complexity, including possible conductor offsets. Target C, in the southeastern portion of the northeast block, is defined by a coherent conductive trend with localized complexity that the company interprets as a continuation of the broader structural corridor. Target D, on the eastern margin of the southwest survey block, represents a distinct conductive anomaly with localized structural complexity. Darren Slugoski, Vice President of Exploration, said in the company news release, "The VTEM Plus data has outlined a strong conductive corridor with multiple parallel trends, and magnetic tilt interpretation has highlighted the structural controls on these conductors. Importantly, our first completed drill hole at Coyote intersected graphitic faulting and significant alteration, providing strong validation of our geophysical targeting approach. We are now focused on refining these targets through modeling and advancing them toward systematic drill testing." The company said plate modeling and inversion of the VTEM dataset are underway to further constrain conductor geometry, depth, and continuity. Those results will be used to refine drill targeting and guide future exploration programs on the Moonlite Project. Separately, Stallion announced it has engaged ICP Securities Inc. to provide automated market-making services using its proprietary ICP Premium algorithm in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange policies and applicable legislation. The agreement began July 1, 2026, carries a monthly fee of CA$7,500 plus applicable taxes, has an initial four-month term with automatic monthly renewals unless terminated with 30 days' notice, and contains no performance factors, stock options, or other compensation. The company said ICP is an arm's length party and will be responsible for the costs it incurs in buying and selling the company's shares. <h2 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" style="text-align: center;" data-section-id="1ymtare" data-start="0" data-end="62">Uranium Sector Continues to Reflect Diverging Fundamentals</h2> <a href="https://www.ans.org/news/article-8184/domestic-uranium-production-is-up-prices-hold-steady/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to a July 7 report from Nuclear News</a>, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that U.S. production of uranium concentrate totaled 1,039,075 pounds during the first quarter, a 0.4% decrease from the fourth quarter of 2025. However, the publication noted that first-quarter 2026 production represented "the highest first-quarter production amount recorded since 2015." The report also stated that uranium spot prices remained relatively stable, with Cameco reporting an end-of-June spot price of US$85.00 per pound. Citing Trading Economics, Nuclear News wrote that uranium futures had "traded within a narrow range around US$85 since early April" after retreating from levels above US$101 in late January. Trading Economics added that "yellowcake prices were lifted by geopolitical tension, driving power markets in major economies to be increasingly volatile, sparking interest in nuclear power by governments and power-hungry AI hyperscalers that develop data centers." <a href="https://www.afr.com/companies/mining/uranium-miners-set-to-cash-in-on-australia-india-supply-deal-20260708-p60dil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">An article published July 8 by The Australian Financial Review</a> examined international demand for uranium, reporting that Australia and India were expected to announce a uranium supply agreement during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Australia.

(WPG:TSXV; WPGCF:OTCQX; LRA0:FSE) reported new high-grade drill results from its Gold Chain Project in Arizona, with the Northeast Tyro zone remaining open at depth.West Point Gold Corp. (WPG:TSXV; WPGCF:OTCQX; LRA0:FSE) reported <a href="https://westpointgold.com/west-point-gold-tyro-drill-results-july-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assay results from two drill holes at the high-grade Northeast Tyro zone within its Gold Chain Project in Arizona.</a> The company said reverse circulation hole GC26-168 intersected 56.4 meters grading 4.24 grams per tonne gold from 242.3 meters, including 28.9 meters grading 7.77 g/t gold. The hole was drilled approximately 20 meters below core hole GC26-161, which intersected 68.2 meters grading 2.20 g/t gold from 210.5 meters, including 34.3 meters grading 3.57 g/t gold. According to the company, the two holes continue to extend the Northeast Tyro zone down-dip, where it remains open to depth. West Point Gold also said previously released hole GC26-148 suggests the zone appears to be widening at depth. The company reported results for the two drill holes, totaling 628.5 meters, and said assay results from 19 additional holes representing 5,920 meters of the recently completed 21,079-meter drill program remain pending. West Point Gold stated that all results from Tyro Main and Northeast Tyro are expected to contribute to its maiden resource estimate, which is scheduled to be released later in 2026. Hole GC26-168 was drilled about 20 meters below GC26-161 and returned an estimated true width of 28 meters. Hole GC26-161 intersected the Northeast Tyro vein zone about 230 meters down-dip from surface and has an estimated true width of 40 meters. The company said deep drilling suggests the vein system widens and extends approximately 270 meters below surface, where it remains open in all directions. "With these results and GC26-148, the apparent widening, along with the textures observed, suggests multiple gold mineralizing events with deposition over a greater vertical range than you would typically see in low-sulphidation epithermal systems. These results further support the zone remaining open to depth," <a href="https://westpointgold.com/west-point-gold-tyro-drill-results-july-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President and CEO Derek Macpherson said in the company's news release.</a> West Point Gold said both drill holes corroborate the widening of the vein system previously observed in hole GC26-148 and improve the definition of the high-grade gold mineralization in the Northeast Tyro zone. The company added that modeling of the geological features identified in the latest drilling is expected to provide greater insight into deeper targets. <div class="qMYqUG_convSearchResultHighlightRoot"> <div class="" data-turn-id-container="request-WEB:efd7a669-a91c-47d0-a202-957863feedec-1" 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:efd7a669-a91c-47d0-a202-957863feedec-1" data-turn-id-container="request-WEB:efd7a669-a91c-47d0-a202-957863feedec-1" data-testid="conversation-turn-4" 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" data-conversation-screenshot-content=""> <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="8150be34-f32e-4ee8-8b7c-44b99773ee08" 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 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" style="text-align: center;" data-section-id="5jwvx1" data-start="0" data-end="92">Gold Market Remained Supported by Geopolitics and Policy Expectations</h2> <a href="https://www.jmbullion.com/charts/gold-price/?wickedsource=google&wickedid=CjwKCAjw9szSBhBNEiwAC57Sq59liIter-ym3IEhDY5T1UFI0BS9opnUUTnWauVVOCedhZRCw80aYhoCvMoQAvD_BwE&w_adid=808952602485&w_campaignid=173655985&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=173655985&gbraid=0AAAAADwTUk9ojoA_81KIFjJUF-5hEzsY2&gclid=CjwKCAjw9szSBhBNEiwAC57Sq59liIter-ym3IEhDY5T1UFI0BS9opnUUTnWauVVOCedhZRCw80aYhoCvMoQAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">As of July 12, the spot price of gold was US$4,121.94 per ounce</a>, while silver traded at US$60.43 per ounce.

He wrote that conflict in the Middle East had increased inflation concerns and contributed to expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve could deliver at least one rate hike before year's end. Streible also wrote that the June Federal Open Market Committee minutes had "highlighted upside risks to inflation," while softer June payroll data had argued for patience. He said technical resistance was near US$4,200 per ounce and identified support levels at US$3,950 and US$3,900. Streible added that "gold has historically shown seasonal strength through July and August," citing a 15-year seasonal pattern. <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/commodities/articles/gold-outlook-geopolitics-interest-rates-100300997.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">InvestorsHub wrote on July 12 that gold had "reaffirmed its role as one of the world's leading safe-haven assets after climbing back above US$4,100 per ounce," </a>supported by renewed geopolitical uncertainty following military tensions between the United States and Iran. The publication stated that "periods of policy uncertainty often increase demand for defensive assets such as gold," while noting that market participants were weighing inflation risks, geopolitical developments, and the possibility of slower global economic growth alongside expectations for U.S. monetary policy. InvestorsHub also reported that recent weakness in oil prices had weighed on the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields, providing additional support for precious metals. <h2 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" style="text-align: center;" data-section-id="eqnm6k" data-start="162" data-end="210">Analysts Pointed to High-Grade Drill Results</h2> In a June 14 initiation report, Don MacLean, Don Blyth, Lauren McConnell, and Hank Lorimer of Paradigm Capital initiated coverage of West Point Gold with a Speculative Buy rating and a CA$3.30 12-month target price. The analysts wrote that Gold Chain was "a low-sulphidation epithermal system with two well-defined primary zones, excellent infrastructure and drill programs that have been delivering impressive results through 2025 and 2026." They estimated that the Tyro Main and NE Tyro zones already hosted "approximately 1.1Moz @ 2.1 g/t, including the unusually high-grade NE Tyro zone at 0.6Moz @ 3.5 g/t," and stated that they believed "the company's late 2026 maiden resource target of 1.5-2.0Moz @ 1-2 g/t is well within reach." The analysts also described the NE Tyro zone as the project's higher-grade area, writing that "NE Tyro has been expanding materially with each round of step-out drilling, with the most recent holes extending the zone by 100 metres along strike and 100 metres at depth, bringing it to 400 metres of strike length." They added that "Together, the two zones provide Gold Chain with what we believe is an economic project." Discussing their resource work, MacLean and his colleagues wrote that "NE Tyro appears to have the most upside; open at depth and to the northeast." They estimated the zone contained "5.2Mt @ 3.5 g/t for 0.6Moz" and stated, "We see good visibility for NE Tyro to deliver 0.8Moz or more, with further potential if the zone continues to depth, which we expect." In their conclusion, the analysts wrote, "Our economic analysis indicates a robust project is already in hand," and said their resource estimate snapshot as of May stood at "1.1Moz @ 2.1 g/t." They also stated, "The current CA$1.10 share price looks well underpinned by what has already been found." On June 23, Chen Lin of What is Chen Buying? What is Chen Selling? wrote, "Today, WPG.v hit it out of the park, with 66 meters of 6.57 g/ton gold! I hope for a strong response from the market." [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11225] The same day, Bob Moriarty of 321gold.com commented, "West Point Gold just released a giant 435 gram/meter hole assaying 66.2 meters of 6.57 g/t gold. That's a big home run for the company." <a href="https://www.equedia.com/the-hole-that-refused-to-quit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Also on June 23, Carlisle Kane of Equedia Investment Research compared the reported grades with regional mining averages</a>, writing, "Those internal grades are roughly 35 times the average grade of an open-pit gold mine in the southwestern United States." The report also stated that the drill results outlined "a wide, predictable, high-grade shoot that plunges down, in a system that is filled with gold again and again . . . showing every textbook signal that the gold-forming engine is still sitting below where they've drilled so far." Equedia added, "The rocks themselves are pointing down and saying, 'Keep going.'

(ATX:TSXV) delivers record drilling results at its Valeriano Copper-Gold Project, expanding high-grade zones and highlighting major growth potential amid rising copper demand.Retail investors seeking exposure to copper are closely watching developments in Chile's Atacama region, where strong demand for the metal in electrification and infrastructure continues to build. ATEX Resources Inc. (ATX:TSXV) stands out because its Valeriano Copper-Gold Project has produced some of the strongest drilling intercepts seen in recent campaigns, confirming both scale and grade. The company released its latest results in a <a href="https://atexresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-08-ATEX-Announces-Results-for-23C-31A-31B.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">July 8 release</a>, showing that the Phase VI program exceeded targets and extended the known high-grade areas. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why ATEX Resources Stands Out Right Now</h2> ATEX has focused exploration on a high-grade breccia zone known as B2B that sits above a broader porphyry system. This combination gives the project both near-term high-grade potential and longer-term bulk tonnage opportunity, a rare profile for early-stage copper assets. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Unique Business Model and Project Advantages</h2> The Valeriano project benefits from its location in a proven copper district with existing infrastructure access. Drilling has now traced the B2B breccia over roughly 600 meters of strike, a 50 percent increase from the prior interpretation of 400 meters. Multiple holes ended in mineralization, indicating the system remains open in several directions. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Assets, Projects, and Catalysts</h2> Phase VI drilling totaled approximately 28,400 meters, well above the original 25,000-meter target. About 15,500 meters targeted the B2B Zone, 11,750 meters tested nearby breccia zones, and 1,025 meters explored porphyry extensions. Results from holes ATXD23C, ATXD31A, and ATXD31B delivered standout intercepts, including 20 meters at 4.10 percent copper equivalent within wider zones of 3.03 percent and 2.65 percent copper equivalent. These intercepts sit at the southern margin of the current resource and confirm continuity between the breccia and the underlying porphyry. Additional holes showed mineralization extending to the north, supporting further step-out potential. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Industry Timing and Copper Market Trends</h2> Copper prices recently traded above US$6.27 per pound, supported by long-term needs in renewable energy, electric vehicles, and grid upgrades. The metal's role in wiring, motors, and transmission systems makes sustained demand likely even if short-term price volatility occurs. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Investor Takeaways</h2> <ul> <li>Phase VI drilling exceeded targets and returned some of the highest-grade intervals recorded at Valeriano to date.</li> <li>The B2B breccia has been extended to approximately 600 meters of strike with room to grow laterally and at depth.</li> <li>Only 65 percent of Phase VI assays have been released, leaving additional results expected through July.</li> <li>Analysts at Ventum and Paradigm note the results strengthen the growth thesis and highlight an attractive valuation relative to net asset value estimates.</li> <li>Phase VII drilling is scheduled to begin in September, providing a clear near-term catalyst path.</li> <li>Insider, strategic, and institutional ownership together exceed 45 percent, aligning management with long-term shareholders.</li> </ul> After the final major section comes the ownership chart placeholder. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11357] <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst Views and Valuation</h2> Ventum Capital Markets analyst Robin Kozak maintained a BUY rating and CA$5.50 price target after the results, stating the investment thesis has strengthened. Paradigm Capital analyst David Davidson described the intercepts as impressive and noted the stock trades at a meaningful discount to broad copper developer peers. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Share Structure and Upcoming Events</h2> ATEX Resources has a market capitalization of approximately CA$861.65 million based on 374.63 million shares outstanding. 1Insiders and management hold about 13 percent, strategic investors hold about 16 percent, and institutions hold about 18 percent, with the balance held by retail investors. The shares have traded in a 52-week range of CA$1.96 to CA$4.55. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Common Questions from Investors</h2> Q: What is copper equivalent, and why is it used? A: Copper equivalent combines the value of copper, gold, silver, and molybdenum into a single percentage figure for easier comparison of mixed-metal intercepts. Q: When will the remaining Phase VI assays be released? A: The company expects the remaining results to arrive progressively through July. Q: What is the next major catalyst? A: Phase VII drilling is planned to start in September and will test extensions of the B2B breccia and porphyry system. The Valeriano project continues to demonstrate strong exploration upside at a time when copper fundamentals support long-term demand growth. <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>Jordan Nova wrote this article for Streetwise Reports LLC and provides services to Streetwise Reports as an employee.</li> <li>This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.

While developing multiple assets all over the world, Uranium Energy produces via In-Situ Recovery (ISR) and has the largest S-K 1300 compliant ISR resource base in the U.S., while also holding a large asset in the Athabasca Basin in Canada. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Uranium Critical to Energy Sector</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, the U.S. issued <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">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," reported <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/U-C3653-U!UEC-20260514/U/UEC" target="_blank" rel="noopener">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." Currently, <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/U-C3653-U!UEC-20260514/U/UEC" target="_blank" rel="noopener">several companies are advancing America's domestic uranium mine portfolio</a>. Among them, Uranium Energy Corp has continued to develop its U.S.-based in-situ recovery uranium production platform across Texas and Wyoming, alongside development-stage assets in the Powder River and Great Divide basins. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-402] <h2 style="text-align: center;">Experts Call Company's Big Picture "Attractive"</h2> On July 9, 2026, <a href="https://thegoldadvisor.com/paydirt-prospector/newsletters/mid-summer-full-portfolio-update-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeff Clark and Daniel Flynn of The Paydirt Prospector</a> wrote about Uranium Energy, calling the operational big picture attractive. They noted key points as: "operating ISR production, Burke Hollow now coming through in Texas, further growth lined up at Christensen Ranch, Ludeman and Sweetwater, and Roughrider advancing in Canada.

(FFF:CSE; 6YF:FSE) announced <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!FFF-3838950/C/FFF" target="_blank" rel="noopener">results of its 2026 winter diamond drill program</a> on July 7, 2026. The program was focused on its Last Hope gold deposit in Manitoba, Canada, which is located roughly 10 kilometers (km) south of Alamos Gold's Lynn Lake project. The company is pleased to announce that the winter drill program extended gold mineralization 300 meters past the limit of its current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). Findings include ". . . excellent internal grade continuity within the resource area, while southeast step-out holes confirmed the system remains open along strike and down-plunge, consistent with the geological model," according to the company. The program consisted of seven diamond drill holes, and all holes returned visible quartz veining with disseminated pyrite and strong assay results. 55 North provided the following highlights: <ul> <li>LH26-02: 2.49 g/t (grams per ton) Au (gold) over 19.42 m (meters) starting at 211.58 m downhole</li> <ul> <li>including 4.50 m grading 5.34 g/t Au</li> </ul> <li>LH26-04: 6.91 g/t Au over 2.56 m starting at 138.90 m</li> <ul> <li>including 1.33 m grading 12.60 g/t Au</li> </ul> <li>LH26-04: 7.61 g/t Au over 1.50 m</li> <li>LH26-07: 13.60 g/t Au over 1.00 m</li> </ul> "Results from our successful winter drill program have returned multiple high-grade gold intercepts, reinforcing continuity within the current resource envelope, infilling critical gaps, and extending the mineralized system along strike to the southeast," said Wayne Parsons, CEO of 55 North. "We are excited for the new team to capitalize on this momentum and drive the Last Hope gold project forward with more high-grade intercepts and an updated resource estimate." A Canadian exploration company, 55 North, is mainly focused on advancing its Last Hope gold project. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Bullish Gold Market Holds Steady Through War</h2> Junior miners and exploration companies hit the ground running this year after gold rallied at a high of US$5,500 per ounce in January. Many companies, like South Pacific, chose to begin exploration or production amid these highs. While prices have since fallen, and even dipped below US$4,000 in June, rates are still up <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/gold-prices-today-monday-july-121321784.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">24%</a> compared to July 2025, and <a href="https://www.gold.org/goldhub/research/gold-mid-year-outlook-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gold.org</a> wrote that: "[T]he stage is set for a possible breakout.

Renewed tensions between the U.S. and Iran dropped gold prices on July 10, 2026, with the per-ounce price sinking to only US$4,104.30.

Wortel wrote: "55 North offers investors a high leverage opportunity to participate in the advancement of a high-grade gold asset strategically positioned within one of Canada's most prospective emerging mining districts." Wortel continued: "We are recommending the stock as a 'Buy' for risk-tolerant investors." It is important to note that much of the risk that concerned Wortel at the time of writing revolved around the then-incomplete 2026 winter drill program, which has since returned good results. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Further Testing in the Near-Term</h2> 55 North's <a href="https://55northmining.ca/investors/presentation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investor presentation</a> points to a recently signed Impact Benefit Agreement with the Marcel Colomb First Nation and the Lynn Lake anticipated completion in 2027 as catalysts for investors, citing existing infrastructure and historical gold discovery at Last Hope as further drivers.

(PNE:TSX.V) pays monthly dividends, lands double 'Buy' ratings, and taps rising Alberta natural gas demand amid global oil market volatility.On July 2, 2026, Pine Cliff Energy Ltd. (PNE:TSX.V) announced a <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!PNE-3838025/C/PNE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">regular monthly dividend</a> of CA$0.00125 per share to be paid on July 31, 2026, to investors who hold shares as of July 16, 2026. The company announced that these and future dividends are expected to be designated as non-eligible dividends for Canadian income tax purposes unless otherwise indicated. Pine Cliff is a Canadian natural gas and oil company that is primarily focused on natural gas production. The company has been focused on scaling for the past decade, growing its operations from 100 BOED (barrels of oil each day) in 2012 to 20,000 BOED today. The company operates in Alberta, Canada. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Domestic Oil Production a Necessity</h2> Conflict between the U.S. and Iran has escalated the demand for domestic oil production, which companies like Pine Cliff are answering, with the uncertain operation of the Strait of Hormuz creating a worldwide oil crisis. The previously reached peace agreement disintegrated after Iran attacked three tankers traversing the Strait of Hormuz, and four oil tankers have been turned back from crossing the strait. After days of contradictory Tweets by President Trump, the market has been unstable, with prices rising and falling to meet his teeter-totter of strike threats and peace declarations. As of early morning July 9, 2026, oil prices had jumped by US$1.08 from the prior day to reach <a href="https://fortune.com/article/price-of-oil-07-09-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US$79.25</a> per barrel.

However, some hope for consumers has returned, as <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/08/oil-prices-rise-iran-attack-tankers-strait-of-hormuz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jillian Ambrose of The Guardian</a> wrote on July 8, 2026, that "Market analysts have stopped short of forecasting a return to oil prices of more than US$100 a barrel after finding the global market was more resilient to disruption than initially feared." Ambrose went on to write: "The 'real test' will come after <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/03/ali-khamenei-six-day-funeral-millions-iran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the burial ceremony</a> of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei later this week . . . once the U.S. and Iran 'show whether there is still an appetite for a diplomatic off-ramp'."

On April 13, 2026, Canaccord gave the company a "Buy" rating, also with a CA$0.85 price target. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Shell Could Provide Future Pipeline</h2> According to its <a href="https://www.pinecliffenergy.com/investor-relations#presentations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investor presentation</a>, Pine Cliff recently signed a 25-year supply deal with a data center, creating a long-term client relationship that helps ensure the company's stability. The company is also watching the Shell corporation, which is currently deciding whether to build a new liquid natural gas export terminal in Canada. If this terminal is built, Pine Cliff would have another source of demand to increase its business. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership & Share Information1</h2> Pine Cliff Energy Ltd. has a market cap of CA$211.69 million, with 358.79 million shares outstanding.

(AG:TSX; AG:NYSE; FMV:FSE) uncovers silver-gold intercepts in Mexico, raises 2026 production guidance, and advances new projects with strong upside ahead.First Majestic Silver Corp. (AG:TSX; AG:NYSE; FMV:FSE) released <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!AG-3839543/C/AG" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Q2 2026 production results</a> from its four producing underground mines in Mexico: the Santa Elena silver-gold mine, the Los Gatos silver mine, the San Dimas silver-gold mine, and the La Encantada silver mine. Total production between all four equaled 3.8 million ounces of silver (Ag), 34,660 ounces of gold (Au), 16.5 million pounds of zinc (Zn), 9 million pounds of lead (Pb), and 252,938 pounds of copper (Cu). Silver production had a 3% increase over Q2 2025, and gold production had a 2% increase over Q2 2025. Other developments First Majestic announced include: <ul> <li>The company announced infill drilling results at its Santo Niño and Navidad targets in June, which showed returns of multiple high-grade silver-gold intercepts. At the same time, First Majestic secured permits for these targets and announced an additional CA$12 million in funding for 2026 development programs to advance underground access to the area.</li> <li>Also in June, First Majestic completed its sale of the Del Toro silver mine to Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. (SM:TSX.V; SMDRF:OTCQX) for a total consideration of up to CA$60 million, which is comprised of both cash and Sierra Madre shares with upfront considerations of CA$30 million and an additional CA$30 million in contingent payments.</li> <li>Finally, in Q2, the company reported on its sustainability mission and safety performance. Despite having its highest production to date, the company lowered its carbon intensity. Also, in regard to safety, the release said: "The consolidated Q2 2026 Total Reportable Incident Frequency Rate (TRIFR) was 0.63, slightly above the Company's 2026 target KPI of 0.60. The Lost Time Incident Frequency Rate (LTIFR) was 0.08 compared to our KPI of 0.12, maintaining First Majestic as a leader amongst its peer group."</li> </ul> "First Majestic has delivered another strong quarter, with continued operational outperformance relative to our original guidance, and we are pleased to increase our production guidance for the second consecutive year," said Keith Neumeyer, CEO. "Despite labor disruptions at San Dimas and a minor rockfall event at Los Gatos, our team responded quickly and safely, resolving both issues while recovering the majority of the downtime at each operation. At Santa Elena and Los Gatos, our mill and mine expansion projects continue to progress on schedule, with both mills achieving record monthly throughputs in the quarter, and both projects are expected to be completed during the third quarter. Q2 also marked another significant milestone for the Company, as Santa Elena secured construction permits for both the Santo Niño and Navidad portals ahead of schedule." Current results have led to First Majestic updating its full-year 2026 guidance. Gold production estimates at Santa Elena have increased 10%, and silver estimates there are anticipated to be at the high end of original guidance. At Los Gatos, silver production estimates have increased 5%. San Dimas has seen a higher forecast increase, expecting a 13% increase in silver production. Finally, the La Encantada project has grown the most, now projecting a 19% increase in silver production estimates. In a management update, the company announced the appointment of Neil Beaumont as CFO on July 2, 2026. First Majestic stated that Beaumont brings over 30 years of experience across several global organizations, including the CFO of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. He has also held senior roles at large mining companies in Canada, Australia, and South America. Finally, First Majestic will host a conference call and webcast for investors on July 30, 2026, at 8:30 am Pacific time.

First Majestic is a Canadian mining company focused on silver and gold production in both the U.S. and Mexico. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Gold and Silver Prices Resist Global Uncertainty</h2> Junior miners and exploration companies hit the ground running this year after gold and silver rallied to a high of US$5,500 per ounce in January. Many companies, like South First Majestic, chose to begin exploration or production amid these highs. While prices have since fallen, and even dipped below US$4,000 in June, rates are still up <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/gold-prices-today-monday-july-121321784.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">24%</a> compared to July 2025, and <a href="https://www.gold.org/goldhub/research/gold-mid-year-outlook-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gold.org</a> wrote that: "[T]he stage is set for a possible breakout. On the upside, clear catalysts – a worsening economy or renewed geopolitical shock, a shift towards lower interest-rate expectations, or a wave of dip buying — could reignite gold’s momentum and lift it back towards US$4,500/oz or above." Gold prices recovered from a dip on July 8, 2026, to <a href="https://www.kitco.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US$4,126.10</a> per ounce on July 9, 2026. Inflationary fears were reignited after Brent crude oil prices rose again after a several-week ceasefire between the two countries lost its stability, but gold rebounded when U.S. home sale prices dropped <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-07-09/gold-price-pushes-session-highs-us-existing-home-sales-drop-24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2.4%</a>, signaling hope for a healthier economy.

Silver is recovering from a recent low after "<a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/silver" target="_blank" rel="noopener">markets reduced bets on Federal Reserve rate hikes after disappointing U.S. jobs data</a>." Despite projections of 110,000 new jobs being added to the market in June, actual numbers came in only around 57,000 — the lowest in four months. Silver also rallied support from rising oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz and progress in indirect U.S.-Iran talks, which lowered oil prices and eased fears of inflation. 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.

[OWNERSHIP_CHART-406] Krauth stated: "San Martin has been on care and maintenance since 2019, and yet the sale allows the company to unlock value from the non-operating asset. The transaction will strengthen First Majestic's balance sheet while transferring the project to Flextronics, a private Mexican mining-focused company backed by Meridian Capital.

(KOG:CSE; KOGDF:OTC) gives an update on its 2026 drilling and exploration activities across the Otago Gold District in New Zealand. <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/pub/co/10970?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KO Gold Inc. (KOG:CSE; KOGDF:OTC)</a> gave updates <a href="https://kogoldnz.com/news/ko-gold-provides-exploration-and-drilling-update-on-its-otago-gold-district-permits-new-zealand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in a July 7 release</a> on its comprehensive 2026 drilling and exploration activities across its wholly owned exploration permits in the Otago Gold District, South Island, New Zealand. The company said reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Smylers Gold Exploration Permit (Smylers EP) is currently advancing according to schedule. Additionally, a series of work programs, including both RC and diamond drilling (DD), are concurrently progressing at the Carrick, Hyde, Glenpark, and Carrick Range permits. Since the commencement of drilling on May 5, a total of 21 RC holes spanning 1,554.4 meters have been completed at the Smylers EP, the release said. The drilling plan for Smylers EP includes 24 holes targeting the Smylers East and Smylers Main areas. Drilling at the Smylers East target has been concluded, and the drilling rig has now moved to the Smylers Main target for step-out drilling along the significant Hyde-Macraes Shear Zone (HMSZ) corridor. Samples from the RC drilling are being sent for analysis, with initial assay results expected in the third quarter of 2026. Regarding land access, KO Gold has successfully secured landowner access at the Smylers EP, and negotiations with private landowners at Carrick and Hyde are progressing positively, with full access anticipated within days. Furthermore, a diamond drilling rig has been secured from Eco Drilling for the upcoming core drilling program at the Carrick EP, which is set to begin shortly. Additionally, an exploration program targeting antimony, recognized as a critical mineral in multiple countries, including Canada and the USA, has been initiated at the Carrick EP. Passive seismic data at the Hyde EP is currently being analyzed by Resource Potentials Pty Ltd of Perth, Western Australia, KO Gold said. This analysis aims to map the depth-to-basement and structural offsets along the western extension of the HMSZ to prioritize drill targets before the drilling rig is mobilized. "Our 2026 campaign is advancing on multiple fronts with drilling progressing well at our Smylers EP," KO President and Chief Executive Officer Greg Isenor said. "At Smylers East, we are drill testing the eastern extension of the HMSZ, and at Smylers Main, we are testing the continuity and extension of our previous gold intercepts. At Carrick, we will be core drilling to validate high-grade historical gold intersections as a start to identify and validate mineralized shoots. A diamond drill rig has been secured for Carrick, and access arrangements are moving forward." Isenor continued, "The antimony potential at Carrick has been identified by recent compilation and prospecting, and parallel antimony exploration is underway. The team has built real momentum, and we look forward to delivering our Smylers assay results in the third quarter of 2026." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Exploration Advancing Across Various Sites</h2> KO Gold's drilling operations are conducted by Eco Drilling, a seasoned contractor based in New Zealand, under a comprehensive health, safety, and environmental management system. At the Smylers site, the current drilling program is dual-focused. It involves drill testing the eastern geochemical anomalies believed to be located on hanging-wall structures of the Hyde-Macraes Shear Zone (HMSZ), as well as conducting step-out drilling along the principal HMSZ corridor. This is aimed at testing the continuity of gold mineralization following significant intersections found in KO Gold's 2021 drilling. Additionally, concurrent soil geochemical sampling is underway to refine targeting in adjacent untested areas, with 250 soil samples collected so far, KO said. Over at the Carrick site, the drilling program is designed to twin and validate key historical intersections within the historical Carrick Goldfield. This area, despite its past production, has never been systematically explored with modern techniques or deeper drilling, the release noted. A structural geology review and field mapping are currently supporting drill planning, and access arrangements with the Department of Conservation (DoC) are progressing. The Mineral Impact Assessment for the permit remains valid through November 2026, and notification of fieldwork commencement has been provided to DoC. In the Hyde area, liaison with landowners on the eastern side of the permit is advancing positively, and approximately 3 line-kilometers of passive seismic data will aid in target generation along the western extension of the HMSZ, the company said. Five drill holes are planned to test the presence of HMSZ, with exploration drilling now also being carried out by other operators on both the east and west extensions of the Hyde permit. At Glenpark, targeting of a down-dip northeastern HMSZ extension is being progressed, with drilling planned subject to scheduling and access, KO noted. Meanwhile, over the Carrick Range application area, an initial soil geochemical sampling program has been completed, with samples currently undergoing portable XRF and laboratory analysis to support the technical work plan. Prospecting, sampling, and mapping of gold and antimony showings are ongoing. Regarding the antimony potential at the Carrick EP, KO Gold has initiated work to assess this through rock-chip sampling and mapping, following the inspection and sampling of the historical Pipe Clay Gully showing, which historically assayed 25% stibnite. This area will be mapped to determine the extent of the mineralization, with drilling planned for the future. Antimony is increasingly significant as it is recognized as a critical mineral in several countries and is essential in various industries, including defense, energy storage, and semiconductors, the company reported. With China imposing export controls and prices rising sharply, Western countries are intensifying their search for new supplies. While this work on antimony is still in the early stages and no drilling has yet tested the mineralization, it remains secondary to KO Gold's primary focus on gold. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Co. Has Both Scale, Prime Location</h2> 1<a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/02/25/breakout-momentum-as-exploration-and-technical-recognition-builds.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Technical Analyst John Newell of John Newell & Associates provided an analysis in February</a> regarding KO Gold's exploration activities within New Zealand's historic Otago Gold District. Newell observed that KO Gold has transitioned from quietly building its position to making significant technical advancements across its exploration portfolio. He highlighted that the company had secured approximately 400 square kilometers of exploration permits in the district, strategically located along key structural corridors known for existing mining operations and past discoveries. This positioning, according to Newell, offers both scale and prime location within the junior exploration sector. The Smylers Gold Project, positioned southeast of the Macraes Gold Mine, stands out as a pivotal asset in KO Gold's portfolio, Newell said. This project has been the focus of both historical and recent drilling efforts, which have consistently identified gold mineralization. Newell pointed out that soil geochemistry work indicates the potential extension of mineralized structures into the less explored Smylers East area. He also noted that over four kilometers of strike length along the Hyde-Macraes Shear Zone had been confirmed. Recent company developments, such as the completion of financing rounds and the initiation of targeted drilling programs aimed at higher-grade mineralized zones, were also discussed. These efforts, Newell stated, support the view that the structural system at Smylers is more extensive and continuous than previously understood. He concluded, "For investors willing to accept exploration risk in exchange for leveraged exposure to potential discovery, KO Gold Inc. remains a Speculative Buy." <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/04/09/the-next-move-in-junior-miners-may-be-closer-than-it-appears.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a market analysis update on April 9</a>, Newell further discussed the broader conditions affecting the junior mining sector and the long-term outlook for precious metals and exploration equities. He described recent downturns in junior mining shares as typical of bull market corrections, emphasizing that "bull markets do not move in straight lines" and that such volatility often serves to "shake out weak hands." Despite recent market corrections, Newell said he believed that the fundamental market structure remained intact, suggesting a rebound is likely. He observed that sentiment indicators were showing signs of a heavily washed-out market, indicating that many investors might have exited their positions following the sector's pullback. Highlighting junior exploration opportunities, Newell pointed to technical setups that were showing early signs of improvement after extended periods of base building. <h2 style="text-align: center;">The Catalyst: An Opportunity in the Gold Market?</h2> Despite recent declines in gold prices influenced by expectations of interest rate hikes, inflation concerns, and stronger dollar and oil prices, some brokerages are maintaining a positive long-term outlook for gold, <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/us-stocks/news/bofa-cuts-2026-average-gold-forecast-sees-long-term-upside/articleshow/132267299.cms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a July 8 Reuters report published by The Economic Times</a>. On Tuesday, Bank of America adjusted its average gold forecast for 2026 downwards by 14% to US$4,360 an ounce. This revision was attributed to anticipations of a more aggressive stance from the Federal Reserve. Nonetheless, the research bank remains optimistic about gold's prospects, projecting that it could reach US$5,000 an ounce once the Federal Reserve concludes its tightening cycle. This adjustment by Bank of America follows a similar sentiment expressed by JPMorgan last week, which acknowledged that the risks to its gold forecast were tilted to the downside due to the potential for early interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the piece said. However, JPMorgan also continues to hold a long-term bullish view on gold into 2027. Amid these adjustments, spot gold experienced a decline of more than 1% on Wednesday, trading near US$4,060 an ounce. These developments reflect the complex dynamics at play in the gold market, balancing immediate economic policy shifts with enduring value assessments. Gold prices experienced a notable decline of nearly 1% on Wednesday, influenced by the release of the minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) meeting held on June 16-17, <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/commodities-news/gold-prices-steady-with-iran-risks-fed-minutes-in-focus-4780645" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a report by Jaiveer Shekhawat for Investing.com on July 8</a>. These minutes revealed increasing concerns among policymakers regarding inflation, impacting investor sentiment towards gold. By 2:10 p.m. ET, spot gold had decreased by 1% to US$4,071.61 an ounce, while gold futures saw a sharper fall of 1.8% to US$4,084.15 an ounce. The minutes from the meeting indicated that FOMC participants generally perceived that the risks to price stability remained high, although the risks associated with achieving maximum employment had slightly diminished, Shekhawat said. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-10970] "Participants generally assessed that information received over the intermeeting period suggested that upside risks to price stability remained elevated while downside risks to achieving maximum employment had moderated a bit," the minutes elaborated. This was the first meeting chaired by Kevin Warsh, and the FOMC unanimously decided to maintain the benchmark federal funds rate within the range of 3.5% to 3.75%. In their statement following the meeting, the officials acknowledged that inflation was still a significant concern and reiterated their commitment to achieving price stability. Furthermore, the new rate projections unveiled after the meeting indicated a divided outlook among the officials: nine of them predicted at least one quarter-point rate hike within the year, six anticipated at least two hikes, and another nine foresaw no changes or even a possible rate cut. Notably, Chairman Warsh, who has expressed skepticism about the utility of forward guidance, chose not to provide a rate forecast, according to the report. This stance reflects a cautious approach to monetary policy under his leadership, emphasizing a focus on current economic indicators rather than predictive measures. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership and Share Structure2</h2> About 28% of the company is owned by insiders and management, and the rest is retail.

(CTG:TSX.V) reports assays as high as 27.9% copper at its Los Reyes project in Mexico, with gold, zinc, and molybdenum also showing up in samples.<a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/pub/co/10929?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Centenario Gold Corp. (CTG:TSX.V)</a> <a href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!CTG-3840449/C/CTG" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced assay results from surface and underground rock samples at its Los Reyes project on July 13, 2026.</a> Centenario Gold Corp. completed the mapping and sampling of old mine dumps and underground workings at the El Rey mineral concession. Historically, copper-rich skarn zones have been mined along the intrusive-limestone contact zone. The samples were taken from two major old mining areas roughly 200 meters apart: the Tueda shaft zone and the Jibosa shaft zone. All samples, minus two, were channel-cut samples from across rock outcrops. In total, 58 samples were taken from surface rock outcrops, waste dumps and pits, and underground workings. Centenario reported seven samples from surface outcrops, 11 samples from waste dumps and shallow pits located near the Tueda shaft, and 40 samples collectively taken from underground at the Tueda and Jibosa old mines. Historically, Jibosa has hosted copper-rich zones that have been known to reach up to 30 meters in width and 100 meters in length, sometimes extending hundreds of meters down and laterally along the intrusive-sediment contact. Sample no. 417995, taken from a stockpile of rock material that appeared to represent the standard 'mine feed' that was mined out of Jibosa 100 years ago, has returned grades of 7.19% copper and 2.88% zinc. Separately, sample no. 417968, which returned a copper grade of 27.9%, came from a 0.6-meter-wide fracture filling zone located along one of the underground tunnels 20 meters below the surface. The Tueda shaft samples have returned significant samples of molybdenum and gold, suggesting that gold is present and possibly widely distributed in the Los Reyes mineralized system. It is the company’s intention to drill test this target in the upcoming drilling program in order to see how the gold and molybdenum mineralization increases both laterally and at depth. Centenario Gold Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on assets in both Canada and Mexico. As a company, Centenario Gold Corp. works to be committed to sustainable exploration by working with local governments and communities and has an experienced development team. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Precious Metals Sector Holding Steady</h2> Junior miners and exploration companies hit the ground running this year after gold rallied at a high of US$5,500 per ounce in January. Many companies, like Centenario Gold Corp., chose to begin exploration or production amid these highs. While prices have since fallen, and even dipped below US$4,000 in June, rates are still up <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/gold-prices-today-monday-july-121321784.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">24%</a> compared to July 2025, and <a href="https://www.gold.org/goldhub/research/gold-mid-year-outlook-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gold.org</a> wrote that: "[T]he stage is set for a possible breakout. On the upside, clear catalysts – a worsening economy or renewed geopolitical shock, a shift towards lower interest-rate expectations, or a wave of dip buying — could reignite gold’s momentum and lift it back towards US$4,500/oz or above." Gold prices recovered from a dip on July 8, 2026, to <a href="https://www.kitco.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US$4,126.10</a> per ounce on July 9, 2026. Inflationary fears were reignited after Brent crude oil prices rose again after a several-week ceasefire between the two countries lost its stability, but gold rebounded when U.S. home sale prices dropped <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-07-09/gold-price-pushes-session-highs-us-existing-home-sales-drop-24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2.4%</a>, signaling hope for a healthier economy. 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. Almost immune to market uncertainty, copper prices are continuing to boom due to industrial demand and the rise of AI data centers. On May 12, 2026, <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/what-is-really-driving-copper-futures-to-record-highs-copper-prices-just-broke-every-record-as-ai-data-center-boom-fuels-global-supply-crunch/articleshow/131064718.cms?from=mdr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Piyush Shukla of The Economic Times</a> wrote that, "Copper prices are soaring aggressively in 2026 as copper futures smash record highs above US$14,000 per ton. The rally is no longer only about manufacturing demand. AI data center construction is now driving a massive global copper rush. China's factory recovery, Middle East sulfuric acid shortages, and tightening mine supply are deepening the global copper crunch." So far, <a href="https://www.mining.com/copper-price-hits-record-in-us-on-supply-risks-tariff-bets/?utm_source=Rock+Daily+%7C+RCKS+Master+Audience&utm_campaign=6d504bff47-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_04_10_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_2d6e7dc0d4-6d504bff47-606677560" target="_blank" rel="noopener">copper prices have risen more than 10% since the start of the year</a>, and over 40% since the beginning of 2025. Demand for copper is expected to rise due to continued use in electronics, especially with the widespread construction of new data centers and defense needs America is experiencing. A report from <a href="https://www.businessworld.in/article/copper-entering-next-commodity-supercycle-report-608319?shem=dsdf,sharefoc,agadiscoversdl,,sh/x/discover/m1/4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Businessworld</a> claimed that "global copper demand is gradually shifting towards strategic and less price-sensitive sectors such as AI infrastructure, defense, power grids, and clean energy systems. By 2040, these categories are expected to account for nearly 45% of total copper demand, up from 32% in 2024." Copper has experienced some volatility this year. While a bull market for traders, physical products are trending toward a bear market due to potential tariffs. Last year, the looming potential of President Donald Trump's tariffs surged copper prices in the U.S. as American investors stockpiled the metal. This hype created an overstocking of copper, widening the gap between futures and physical worth. "Collectively, inventories at the world's main exchanges have risen by more than 500,000 tons since the start of the year," <a href="https://www.mining.com/web/a-copper-market-awash-with-metal-sours-traders-bullish-mood/?utm_source=Rock+Daily+%7C+RCKS+Master+Audience&utm_campaign=9a3b541bbd-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_04_10_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_2d6e7dc0d4-9a3b541bbd-606677560" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated a March 6 article by Bloomberg News</a>. The imagined certainty of inaccessible copper due to tariffs evaporated, however, when premiums for U.S. copper futures disappeared, and the tariffs did not materialize. Trump may choose to impose tariffs next year, but analysts and investors are skeptical since his administration chose to forego them in January 2026. Copper futures rested at <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/copper" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US$6.20</a> per pound on July 8, 2026. Industry data showed that global shipments of copper concentrate have risen since April, pointing to ample raw material availability." Still, copper prices are unlikely to fall dramatically, even if a resolution is found. <a href="https://www.mining.com/copper-price-hits-record-in-us-on-supply-risks-tariff-bets/?utm_source=Rock+Daily+%7C+RCKS+Master+Audience&utm_campaign=6d504bff47-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_04_10_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_2d6e7dc0d4-6d504bff47-606677560" target="_blank" rel="noopener">China's output fell by 3% in April 2026</a>, and tariff expenses are keeping the stock price high.

(ATX:TSXV) announces drilling results from its Valeriano Copper-Gold Project in Chile. Read why one analyst calls the company a "compelling investment."ATEX Resources Inc. (ATX:TSXV) announced drilling results from its Valeriano Copper-Gold Project located in the Atacama region of Chile in a <a href="https://atexresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-08-ATEX-Announces-Results-for-23C-31A-31B.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">July 8 release</a>. The latest findings include comprehensive results from drill holes ATXD23C and ATXD31A, along with preliminary results from ATXD31B. The Phase VI drilling campaign achieved a record-breaking total of about 28,400 meters, surpassing the initial target of 25,000 meters. To date, about 65% of the assays from this phase have been released, with the remaining results anticipated through July. "These results continue to strengthen our confidence in the continuity of the high-grade B2B breccia and its relationship to the underlying high-grade porphyry system," ATEX Interim President and Chief Executive Officer Chris Beer said. He highlighted that hole ATXD23C revealed significant high-grade mineralization at the southern boundary of the currently defined B2B Mineral Resource. Additionally, holes ATXD31A and ATXD31B indicated that the system remains open to the north. Beer also noted that previously reported results from hole ATXD19A suggested that the B2B breccia extends approximately 180 meters to the south, with follow-up drilling set to resume in September as part of the Phase VII program. "Collectively, these results improve our understanding of the geometry, continuity and scale of the B2B breccia while reinforcing our interpretation that the highest-grade mineralization forms part of a much larger porphyry system with significant growth potential," Beer continued. "Based on drilling completed to date, the B2B breccia has now been traced over approximately 600 meters representing a 50% increase from the previously interpreted 400-meter strike length. With several holes ending in mineralization and approximately 35% of Phase VI assays still pending, we believe there remains substantial opportunity to continue expanding both the high-grade B2B breccia and the broader Valeriano mineralized system." Highlighting some of the impressive assay results, hole ATXD23C intersected 20 meters of 4.10% copper equivalent (CuEq), including 2.53% copper, 1.39 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, 9.3 g/t silver, and 84 g/t molybdenum. This was within broader intervals of 78 meters grading 3.03% CuEq and 124 meters grading 2.65% CuEq, representing some of the highest-grade intervals drilled at Valeriano. These results have further defined the geometry of the high-grade B2B breccia, increased confidence in its size, shape, and volume, and confirmed the continuity between the high-grade B2B breccia and the underlying high-grade porphyry, reinforcing the interpretation of a larger, connected mineralized porphyry system, the release said. The fact that one of the holes ended in mineralized porphyry highlights the potential to further expand both the high-grade B2B core and the underlying high-grade porphyry core. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Details of Results</h2> The results are pivotal in understanding the potential for expanding the high-grade B2B breccia system within the project, the company said in the release. Drill hole ATXD31A revealed a 64-meter section with 1.02% CuEq, including a broader interval of 84 meters with 0.96% CuEq. This finding confirms the presence of high-grade mineralization along the lower B2B Zone and demonstrates the potential to extend this mineralization both laterally and at depth. It also strengthens confidence in the three-dimensional geometry of the lower B2B breccia, identifying opportunities for further expansion to the northwest and deeper regions. Similarly, ATXD31B intersected 146 meters of 1.14% CuEq within a broader interval of 408 meters of 0.88% CuEq, confirming the thickness, continuity, and northern extent of mineralization within the B2B system. This hole ended in mineralized porphyry, with assays pending, highlighting the potential to further expand the B2B system beyond the currently reported interval. Technical analysis of ATXD23C intersected 20 meters of 4.10% CuEq within broader intervals of 78 meters of 3.03% CuEq and 124 meters of 2.65% CuEq. This drilling was aimed at testing the shallower portion of the high-grade B2B breccia to improve confidence in its lateral continuity and interpreted geometry. It successfully linked the high-grade B2B breccia with the underlying high-grade porphyry, reinforcing the interpretation of a single, connected mineralized system. The results from these drillings are crucial as they not only confirm the continuity between the high-grade B2B breccia and the underlying high-grade porphyry but also reinforce the interpretation of a larger, connected mineralized porphyry system, ATEX said. The ongoing exploration and drilling efforts are essential for ATEX Resources as they continue to derisk and advance the development of the Valeriano project, aiming to meet the increasing demand in the defense industry for streamlined and efficient mineral extraction processes. The Phase VI drilling program conducted by the company has successfully concluded, surpassing its initial target by drilling a record 28,400 meters, significantly over the planned 25,000 meters, the release noted. This extensive drilling effort focused on several key areas: approximately 15,500 meters were dedicated to the high-grade B2B Zone, 11,750 meters targeted nearby high-grade breccia zones, and 1,025 meters were aimed at exploring porphyry extensions. Although the drilling activities for the season have been completed, there remains a substantial portion of data still pending analysis. About 35% of the assay results have not yet been finalized and are expected to be released progressively as they are received from the laboratory throughout July. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Analyst: 'Thesis of This Name Has Become Stronger'</h2> These new results build on earlier findings released on May 26 and March 16, showcasing impressive outcomes that highlight the project's continuity and scale, according to a research note by Analyst Robin Kozak for Ventum Capital Markets on July 9. The latest data reveals significant expansion of the high-grade B2B breccia, substantial high-grade mineralization at the southern boundary of the currently defined B2B mineral resource, and confirmation that the system remains open to the north. Despite the systematic expansion of Valeriano within the B2B Zone and the broader porphyry system, the drill results indicate that exploration is still in its early stages. The stock has seen a decline year-to-date and was trading at the time of writing at an 80% discount to our NAV10% of CA$10.86. This presents an attractive entry point for long-term investors. Highlights from the recent drilling include intercepting 20 meters of 4.1% copper equivalent (CuEq) within 78 meters of 3.03% CuEq and 124 meters of 2.65% CuEq in hole ATXD23C at the southern margin of the B2B Zone. These are among the highest-grade intervals intersected at Valeriano to date, underscoring the project's significant upside potential. The B2B breccia has now been traced over approximately 600 meters, a 50% increase from the previously interpreted 400 meters. Several holes ended in mineralization, suggesting the potential for further expansion of the high-grade B2B breccia both laterally and at depth. The Phase VI drill program encompassed about 28,400 meters of drilling, with roughly 65% of assays released so far and the remainder expected through July. The continuation of the high-grade B2B breccia and the broader system offers substantial opportunities for further expansion, with the Phase VII drill program set to commence in September. Ventum rated the stock a BUY with a price target of CA$5.50, "If anything, our thesis on this name has become stronger over this drill season," Kozak wrote. "The combination of exploration success, scale, optionality, and exceptional financial backing is what makes ATEX such a compelling investment. The story does not end there. The Valeriano project itself holds the potential to anchor a new copper district. The stock currently trades at a deep discount to our NAV10% of CA$10.86, calculated using a long-term copper price of US$4.50/lb. Our price target of CA$5.50 implies ~150% upside from current levels." In a flash note update on the same day, Paradigm Capital Analyst David Davidson called the results "impressive." ATX23C returned some of the highest grades seen at the property, he noted. All three holes appear to have met their objectives by expanding the B2B zone, primarily in the up and down-dip directions. We believe the Phase VI results to date should support a sizable increase in the high-grade B2B breccia interpretation in an eventual mineral resource update. Davidson said the firm awaited results from meaningful step-outs testing the extension of known mineralization of both the B2B zone and the underlying high-grade porphyry, noting only 65% of results have been received. "Shares are trading down at CA$2.19 after trading as high as CA$4.25 in late February, trading at less than US$0.015/lb CuEq (broad copper developer peers at ~US$0.035/lb)," he wrote. "ATEX is good value at these levels and remains one of the better exploration stories out there." <h2 style="text-align: center;">The Catalyst: Copper Surges on Oil Price Decrease</h2> Copper prices experienced a notable increase, trading at US$6.27 per pound, which equates to just over US$13,800 per tonne, marking a 2.6% rise by midday in New York on Thursday, <a href="https://www.mining.com/macquarie-says-copper-price-rally-still-running-ahead-of-reality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frik Els wrote for Mining.com on July 9</a>. This surge was influenced by a decrease in oil prices following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement that Iran has returned to the negotiation table, coupled with new tariff threats in the U.S. The Commerce Department has announced plans to potentially expand tariffs of up to 50% on a broader range of downstream copper products by the end of the fiscal year 2026. In a recent commodities compendium titled "Spinning Plates," analysts from Macquarie Strategy, based in locations including London, Shanghai, and Singapore, discuss the current state of the copper market. They argue that while investor sentiment towards copper remains bullish, the physical fundamentals are weakening, creating a significant gap at current price levels. The report suggests that the global market is not facing a shortage of copper, with surpluses expected in the coming years, indicating that a depletion of copper supplies is unlikely in the near future. Visible copper stocks have seen a substantial increase, rising by more than 870,000 tonnes since the beginning of 2025, including an addition of 444,000 tonnes last year and 429,000 tonnes so far in 2026, Els wrote. Inventories at the London Metal Exchange (LME) are at eight-year highs, while Comex stocks have reached unprecedented levels. Additionally, Macquarie estimates that another 550,000 tonnes of copper is currently held off-exchange in the U.S. Copper prices rallied from below US$12,000 per tonne in late March to well over $14,000 by the end of May, before experiencing a slight decline. According to Macquarie, this price movement was driven more by market positioning, short-covering, and tariff-related trade flows rather than by any physical tightness in the market. The metal has been attracted across the Atlantic by the CME-LME arbitrage as traders adjust their positions in anticipation of potential U.S. copper trade measures, the article said.[OWNERSHIP_CHART-11357] Macquarie predicts that the most likely scenario for the copper market is continued uncertainty rather than a clear resolution in the near term. This uncertainty is expected to keep copper within the U.S., giving the rest of the market an artificial sense of tightness. Furthermore, Macquarie notes that Chinese buyers are retreating from the market due to the high prices. Despite lower imports and higher exports, China has experienced a large seasonal stock build, and the usual drawdown of stocks stalled early. Outside of China, demand is also soft, with spot premiums remaining well below the levels of annual contracts. The global copper market, valued at US$248.2 billion in 2025, is on a trajectory for significant growth, projected to reach US$388.8 billion by 2033, <a href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/copper-market-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grand View Research noted</a>. This growth represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% from 2026 to 2033. In 2025, the Asia Pacific region dominated the market, accounting for 74% of the global market share. "Copper is a critical material used in building wiring, plumbing, roofing, and other infrastructure components due to its superior conductivity and corrosion resistance," Grand View noted. "Rapid urbanization, especially in the Asia Pacific and Africa, propels the demand for residential and commercial infrastructure, thereby boosting copper consumption. Large-scale investments in public infrastructure projects such as bridges, highways, and smart cities further stimulate the need for copper-based materials." Due to its electrical efficiency, it plays a central role in solar photovoltaic systems, wind turbines, electric grids, and energy storage systems, the report noted. "The global push for cleaner energy sources to meet climate targets has led to a surge in renewable power installations, all of which require significant amounts of copper," Grand View said. "Moreover, as countries upgrade aging power grids and integrate smart grid technologies, the demand for copper-intensive transmission and distribution networks continues to climb." <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership and Share Structure1</h2> About 13% of the company is owned by insiders and management, about 16% by strategic investors, and about 18% by institutions.

(GSKR:TSX.V) closes 100% acquisition of Sweden's Barsele gold project, boasting 2.15 Moz and a CA$8.50 analyst price target implying 167% upside.On June 25, 2026, Goldsky Resources Corp. (GSKR:TSX.V) announced the closing of its <a href="https://goldskyresources.com/news/goldsky-resources-closes-barsele-gold-project-transaction-and-consolidates-100-ownership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acquisition of the remaining 55% interest in the Barsele gold project</a> in Sweden. Now holding 100% interest in the project, Goldsky's CEO, Russell Bradford, said: "We are very pleased to complete this transformational Barsele transaction, marking an exciting new chapter for Goldsky. We now look forward to advancing what is expected to be one of the largest drilling campaigns ever undertaken across the Barsele license. I would also like to welcome the Sweden-based team joining Goldsky as part of the transaction, whose expertise and knowledge of the extensive exploration and environmental work completed to date will be invaluable as we move forward." The share purchase agreement was dated January 28, 2026, and was between Goldsky and Agnico Eagle Sweden AB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM:TSX; AEM:NYSE). The transaction included a cash payment of US$20 million and the issuance of 75.5 million common shares of Goldsky to Agnico Eagle. It also included the granting of a 2% net smelter return royalty on Barsele to Agnico Sweden. The company has also assumed Agnico Eagle's obligations under an existing 2% net smelter return royalty on Barsele in favor of Orex Minerals Inc. (REX:TSX.V). Goldsky and Agnico Eagle have also entered into an investor rights agreement providing Agnico Eagle with certain participation, top-up, and board nomination rights, as well as demand and piggy-back registration rights on all customary terms. Nuvolari Capital Limited has been paid a finder's fee for the transaction, equal to an aggregate value of nearly CA$6.8 million and paid in a combination of cash and common shares. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Gold Prices Staying High</h2> Junior miners and exploration companies hit the ground running this year after gold rallied at a high of US$5,500 per ounce in January. Many companies, like South Pacific, chose to begin exploration or production amid these highs. While prices have since fallen, and even dipped below US$4,000 in June, rates are still up <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/gold-prices-today-monday-july-121321784.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">24%</a> compared to July 2025, and <a href="https://www.gold.org/goldhub/research/gold-mid-year-outlook-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gold.org</a> wrote that: "[T]he stage is set for a possible breakout. On the upside, clear catalysts – a worsening economy or renewed geopolitical shock, a shift towards lower interest-rate expectations, or a wave of dip buying — could reignite gold's momentum and lift it back towards US$4,500/oz or above." Renewed tensions between the U.S. and Iran dropped gold prices on July 10, 2026, with the per-ounce price sinking to only <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2026-07-10/gold-silver-soften-hormuz-oil-risk-keeps-yields-firm-kitco-am-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US$4,104.30</a>. Inflationary fears were reignited after Brent crude oil prices rose again after a several-week ceasefire between the two countries lost its stability.

(ABM:TSXV; ABNAF:OTCQB) is drilling its Justin tungsten/gold project in the Yukon this summer, and Bob Moriarty of 321gold.com flags that the company trades barely above its CA$4.4 million in cash and liquid assets against a ~CA$5 million market capnow economic thanks to a 700-900% spike in tungsten prices.We're heading into what ought to be the seasonally strongest stretch of the year for silver and gold. Both metals dipped briefly mid-week thanks to geopolitics. The children are back from recess and have gone right back to flinging spitballs at one another. Let's hope the fools don't wreck the world's financial system in a fit of insanity, but it's anyone's guess. In a sane world, this would be a fine moment to put money into the metals and into resource shares. Way back in the stone age of resource investing, there were stretches when dozens of gold and silver stocks traded for less than the cash sitting in their coffers. In 2000, when gold and silver were under 8% of what they fetch today, there were literally a hundred or more companies you could pick up for less than the cash on their books, betting that the CEO would turn up with either a dead horse in his bed or a ruinous crack habit and the outfit would shut its doors. Back then those companies were worth a lot more dead than alive. It happened again in late 2015, when heaps of juniors were sitting on more cash than their entire market cap. And once more, gold and silver were a sliver of today's prices. I was going through a recent press release from one of our advertisers a couple of days back and something struck me as odd. I'd bought the stock because of its tiny market cap. When I read the release and checked the current price, it dawned on me that the company was trading just a hair above its cash and liquid assets. The company is Aben Gold Corp. (ABM:TSXV; ABNAF:OTCQB), and the press release covered <a href="https://abengold.com/news/aben-gold-corp-announces-2026-exploration-program-at-justin-gold-tungsten-project-yukon/">their planned 1,500-meter drill program at their Justin tungsten/gold project</a> in the Yukon, kicking off this month. But with a market cap of just CA$5 million as I write this, the company holds CA$3.5 million in the bank, another CA$420,000 in Kingfisher shares, and yet another slug of Kingfisher shares worth CA$500,000 coming in December. So, you've got a market cap of just over CA$5 million against CA$4.4 million in real assets and cash. They'll be drilling the <a href="https://abengold.com/projects/justin/">Justin property</a> soon. For years, despite solid gold results, tungsten's price never made drilling worthwhile. But with WO3 jumping 700-900%, the math finally adds up. The drilling plan as it stands calls for six diamond drill holes across three drill pads. Aben will punch roughly 500 meters into the POW tungsten/gold property, which has posted good gold and tungsten figures in earlier drilling. The POW zone carries potential for both tungsten and a RIRGS gold system. Hole JN11009 came back with 1.25 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 60 meters. Hole JN11010 assayed 2.52 g/t Au and 29.53 g/t silver (Ag) over 12 meters. Later tungsten assays showed 0.25% WO3 over that same 12 meters. At roughly US$300 today per kilo, that 0.25% tungsten return works out to US$750 a tonne for WO3. Another hole, JN12016, returned 5.5 meters running 4.12 g/t Au, plus 0.39% WO3 over 8.5 meters, good for nearly US$1,200 per tonne. The rest of the diamond drill program will target the Lost Ace zone, hunting for structurally controlled high-grade gold. Earlier trenching turned up 20.8 g/t Au over 4.4 meters and 88.2 g/t Au over 1 meter. Mobilization starts shortly and drilling should get going around August 9. Expect assay results roughly two months after that. Aben Gold is an advertiser. I've bought shares in the open market and taken part in past private placements. That makes me biased.

(CTGO:TSX; CTGO:NYSE American)</a>, implying an 86% return to target from the price at time of writing of US$17.23, following the company's conversion of its remaining gold hedges into additional debt that leaves it fully unhedged ahead of an expected material improvement in gold grades at its Manh Choh mine in 2027. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" style="text-align: center;" data-sourcepos="3:1-4:570;752-1361">Hedge Conversion and Debt Restructuring </h2> <a href="https://why-invest-in-ctgo.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Contango</a> converted its remaining 15 Koz gold Au of gold (Au) hedge contracts, priced at US$1,935/oz Au, into US$33 million of additional debt with its existing lenders, maturing in 2027 at an interest rate of 7.4%, down from 8.9% previously. As a result, the total amount drawn on the company's amended credit facility now stands at US$46.3 million, up from US$13.0 million previously. Contango exited Q1/26 with US$97.5 million in cash and carries an additional US$20.0 million in debt related to its convertible debentures, which have a conversion price of US$30.50 per CTGO share and mature on 05/26/28. <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" style="text-align: center;" data-sourcepos="6:1-7:780;1363-2169">Fully Unhedged Positioning </h2> The analyst's central thesis is that the transaction leaves Contango "now entirely unhedged and fully exposed to spot gold prices," positioning the company well ahead of an expected material improvement in gold grades driven by favorable mine sequencing at Manh Choh in 2027. Kozak characterizes the development as positive, describing a setup "for an excellent 2027 when gold grades are expected to improve materially" at the 30%-owned Manh Choh open-pit mine in Alaska, which is operated by Kinross. The Manh Choh resource on a 100% basis comprises 2.9 Mt (million tonnes) of proven and probable reserves at 6.79 grams per tonne (g/t) Au (0.63 Moz Au) and 1.00 Mt of measured and indicated resources excluding P&P at 2.03 g/t Au (0.07 Moz Au), for a total resource of 3.91 Mt at 5.57 g/t Au (0.70 Moz Au). <h2 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" style="text-align: center;" data-sourcepos="9:1-10:1049;2171-3241">Valuation and Outlook </h2> The price-target increase to US$32.00 from US$30.00 reflects the removal of all outstanding hedges offset by the increase in Contango's outstanding debt. Kozak's valuation is based on a multiple of 1.75x NAVPS on the Manh Choh gold mine (DCF, 5% discount rate), 1.00x NAVPS on the Johnson Tract project (DCF, 15% discount rate), and US$2/oz AgEq in-situ on the Kitsault Valley polymetallic project. The Speculative Buy rating denotes a stock the analyst views as attractively priced relative to the company's fundamentals but carrying a higher degree of risk. Beyond its 30% minority interest in Manh Choh, Contango's 100%-owned development pipeline comprises the Lucky Shot gold project (Alaska), the Johnson Tract polymetallic project (Alaska), and the Kitsault Valley silver project (Canada). <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>Contango Silver and Gold is a billboard sponsor of Streetwise Reports and pays SWR a monthly sponsorship fee between US$3,000 and US$6,000.</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 Contango Silver and Gold Inc.</li> <li>Steve Sobek wrote this article for Streetwise Reports LLC and provides services to Streetwise Reports as an employee.</li> <li>This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.

(SSV:TSX.V; SSVFF:OTCQX; SEG1:FSE) reveals strong silver-polymetallic grades from Puro Corazon sampling. Learn why this Mexico project offers retail investors compelling upside in a rising silver market.Silver prices have shown resilience near the US$59 level amid shifting macroeconomic conditions, creating renewed interest in high-grade silver developers. Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (SSV:TSX.V; SSVFF:OTCQX; SEG1:FSE) stands out in this environment because of its advanced Cerro Las Minitas project and fresh underground sampling success at the Puro Corazon mine. Retail investors seeking exposure to silver often look for companies that combine large resource scale with ongoing de-risking work. Southern Silver meets these criteria through systematic exploration and development steps that directly address both grade continuity and future mine planning. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Why Southern Silver Stands Out for Retail Investors</h2> The company controls a 100%-owned silver-lead-zinc asset located in Mexico's Faja de Plata, a district that hosts several world-class deposits. This jurisdiction offers established infrastructure and a proven permitting pathway, reducing typical development risks compared with more remote locations. Recent underground channel sampling at Puro Corazon reinforces the project's scale. The work returned multiple high-grade polymetallic intercepts that confirm strong mineralization both near surface and at depth. These results help bridge the gap between historic workings and newer drill data, giving investors greater confidence in resource continuity. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Assets and Recent Catalysts at Cerro Las Minitas</h2> The Puro Corazon mine has operated intermittently since the 1980s. Current access includes a partially completed spiral decline called Rampa Guadalupe and 14 mining levels reaching 220 meters below surface. Southern Silver sampled 14 sublevels plus the decline, collecting 230 channels that produced 1,380 individual samples spaced every three meters and oriented perpendicular to the mineralized trend. Geological criteria ensured mineralized skarn was sampled separately from footwall and hanging-wall material. Notable assay results include a 3-meter section averaging 205 grams per tonne silver (g/t), 0.1% copper, 2.8% lead, and 1.9% zinc, equating to 320 g/t silver equivalent (AgEq). Another intercept returned 1 meter averaging 631 g/t silver, 0.1% copper, 12.7% lead, and 8.1% zinc for 1,097 g/t AgEq. Additional highlights comprise 3.2 meters averaging 357 g/t silver, 0.5% copper, 3.2% lead, and 0.7% zinc (479 g/t AgEq) and 2.8 meters averaging 305 g/t silver, 1.2% copper, 9.8% lead, and 6.7% zinc (757 g/t AgEq), <a href="https://southernsilverexploration.com/news/2026/southern-silver-reports-2.8m-of-757g-t-ageq-and-3.2m-of-479g-t-ageq-from-underground-channel-sampling-at-the-puro-corazon-mine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a July 2 release</a>. The company has also completed an underground lidar survey and is advancing geotechnical and hydrological studies. These data sets feed directly into an ongoing 12,500-meter Phase I infill drill program designed to upgrade resources ahead of an updated mineral resource estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Additional Portfolio Assets Provide Further Optionality</h2> Beyond Cerro Las Minitas, Southern Silver recently acquired the Nazas gold-silver property in the same Mexican state. In the United States, the company holds the Oro porphyry copper-gold project and the Hermanas gold-silver vein project in southern New Mexico. Permit applications for drilling at these sites are underway, offering potential catalysts outside the main Mexican asset. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Industry Timing and Analyst Perspective</h2> Broader silver market dynamics remain constructive despite short-term volatility. Analysts note that dips toward the US$50-US$60 range have historically acted as accumulation zones ahead of larger rallies. Peter Krauth of The Silver Stock Investor highlighted the sampling results, stating that they demonstrate the robust nature of Cerro Las Minitas and its potential as a large-scale underground silver project with strong economics and significant upside potential in a mining-friendly jurisdiction. Krauth also emphasized the scarcity of advanced, undeveloped silver projects exceeding 300 million ounces silver equivalent, which supports his long-term shareholding view. Southern Silver's ranking of 28th in the <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/03/13/mining-sector-dominates-tsx-venture-50-as-gold-bull-market-continues.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TSX Venture 50</a> after a 284% share-price gain and 401% market-cap increase in 2025 further underscores recent market recognition.[OWNERSHIP_CHART-450] <h2 style="text-align: center;">Key Investor Takeaways</h2> <ul> <li>Cerro Las Minitas hosts a large silver-polymetallic resource with ongoing work that continues to de-risk development through infill drilling, updated economics, and baseline studies.</li> <li>Underground channel sampling has returned multiple high-grade intercepts that confirm mineralization continuity between historic workings and recent drilling.</li> <li>The company's diversified portfolio includes additional gold-silver and copper-gold assets in Mexico and the United States, providing multiple avenues for growth.</li> <li>Market recognition via the TSX Venture 50 ranking and substantial 2025 share-price appreciation signals growing institutional and retail interest.</li> <li>Silver's role as both a monetary and industrial metal supports a constructive long-term price outlook, especially if current corrective phases conclude near identified support levels.</li> </ul> Retail investors should also consider typical mining risks such as commodity price fluctuations, permitting timelines, and the need for future financing. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Share Structure and Ownership Details1</h2> Insiders and management own approximately 1% of the company, institutions hold about 2%, and strategic investors account for roughly 18%, with the balance held by retail shareholders. Southern Silver has a market capitalization of CA$182.38 million based on 414.5 million shares outstanding. The stock trades in a 52-week range of CA$0.20 to CA$1.13. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Common Questions from Investors</h2> What is silver equivalent grade? Silver equivalent converts the value of lead, zinc, and copper into an equivalent silver grade using current metal prices and recovery assumptions, allowing easier comparison across polymetallic deposits. How does the current sampling program help the project? Channel samples provide detailed grade and geological data across underground levels, confirming continuity that supports resource upgrades and future mine design. What are the next major milestones? Completion of the Phase I drill program, followed by an updated mineral resource estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment, will provide clearer visibility on project economics. Why does jurisdiction matter? Mexico's Faja de Plata hosts multiple operating mines with established infrastructure, which typically shortens permitting and development timelines compared with greenfield locations. Southern Silver's combination of scale, grade, and systematic de-risking work positions the company to benefit from favorable silver market conditions while offering retail investors a transparent path toward value creation. <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>Jordan Nova wrote this article for Streetwise Reports LLC and provides services to Streetwise Reports as an employee.</li> <li>This article does not constitute investment advice and is not a solicitation for any investment.

(SSV:TSX.V; SSVFF:OTCQX; SEG1:FSE) releases results from underground channel sampling at the Puro Corazon mine in Mexico. Find out why one expert calls the assays "outstanding."Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (SSV:TSX.V; SSVFF:OTCQX; SEG1:FSE) shared results from its underground channel sampling at the Puro Corazon mine, located on the Cerro Las Minitas property in Mexico, <a href="https://southernsilverexploration.com/news/2026/southern-silver-reports-2.8m-of-757g-t-ageq-and-3.2m-of-479g-t-ageq-from-underground-channel-sampling-at-the-puro-corazon-mine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in a July 2 release</a>. The sampling revealed multiple intercepts of strongly anomalous polymetallic mineralization, indicating significant findings in the ongoing exploration efforts. Notable assay results include a 3-meter section averaging 205 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Ag), 0.1% copper, 2.8% lead, and 1.9% zinc, which equates to 320 g/t silver equivalent (AgEq) and 1 meter averaging 631 g/t silver, 0.1% copper, 12.7% lead, and 8.1% zinc (1,097 g/t AgEq). Other significant intercepts include 3.2 meters averaging 357 g/t silver, 0.5% copper, 3.2% lead, and 0.7% zinc (479 g/t AgEq), and 2.8 meters averaging 305 g/t silver, 1.2% copper, 9.8% lead, and 6.7% zinc (757 g/t AgEq), according to the release. The channel sampling is a component of a broader initiative that includes underground mapping, sampling, and geotechnical analyses, the company said. These efforts aim to enhance the understanding of the mineralization style and distribution at the Puro Corazon target and to establish continuity between near-surface mineralization observed in the underground workings and that identified in recent drilling activities at the same target. The sampling covered 14 sublevels of the underground workings and a partially completed spiral decline known as the Rampa Guadalupe, Southern Silver said. The focus was on areas of skarn alteration and mineralization adjacent to the Central Intrusion and along mineralized structures outside the main contact. A total of 230 channels, comprising 1,380 individual samples, were collected. These samples, ranging from 0.15 meter to 2 meters, with most between 0.5 meter and 1 meter, were collected individually for lab shipment. The samples are spaced every 3 meters and oriented perpendicular to the mineralized zone's trend. Geological criteria guided the selection of sample lengths to ensure that mineralized skarn was sampled distinctly from footwall and hanging wall horizons. Other factors considered in the sampling process included the mineralized texture and ensuring that mineralization in specific rock types like limestone-marble, aplite, and monzonite was separately sampled. The Puro Corazon mine has been intermittently operated on a small scale since the 1980s, currently involving a partially completed spiral decline (Rampa Guadalupe) and 14 mining levels extending 220 meters below the surface, the company said. The mine is accessible via shaft and through the Rampa Guadalupe. This announcement covers assay results down to Level 4, with results from deeper levels expected to be reported in a subsequent release. In addition to the assay results, Southern Silver said it conducted an underground lidar survey of the workings earlier this year and is currently undertaking geotechnical surveys and further hydrological characterization of the area surrounding the Puro Corazon target. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Co. Has Projects in Mexico, US</h2> Southern Silver is dedicated to the exploration and development of significant mineral deposits in major jurisdictions, either directly or through joint venture relationships, with a particular emphasis on the 100%-owned Cerro Las Minitas silver-lead-zinc project. This project is situated in Mexico's Faja de Plata, a renowned region that is home to several world-class mineral deposits including Penasquito, Los Gatos, San Martin, Naica, and Pitarrilla. Southern Silver has recently expanded its portfolio by acquiring the Nazas gold-silver property, which is also located in the same state as Cerro Las Minitas. Further diversifying its asset base, Southern Silver holds the Oro porphyry copper-gold project and the Hermanas gold-silver vein project, both situated in southern New Mexico, United States. The company is currently in the process of obtaining permits to conduct drilling programs at these U.S. sites. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Expert: Project Has 'Significant Upside Potential'</h2> Southern Silver recently shared promising results from its underground channel sampling at the Puro Corazon Mine, part of its Cerro Las Minitas project, Peter Krauth wrote for The Silver Stock Investor on July 8. The sampling revealed multiple high-grade silver-polymetallic intercepts, underscoring the presence of strong mineralization. "Importantly, the sampling program is helping the company better understand the continuity between near-surface mineralization and recent drilling at Puro Corazon," Krauth said. "A total of 230 channel samples were collected across the mine's upper four levels, with results from the deeper levels still to come." Furthermore, Southern Silver has completed underground LiDAR mapping and is actively conducting geotechnical and hydrological studies, he noted. These efforts are crucial for advancing the project and refining future mine planning strategies. With all assay results now available, the company is integrating this new data into the broader scope of the Cerro Las Minitas project. Building on these positive developments, Southern Silver has initiated a 12,500-meter Phase I infill drill program aimed at upgrading resources. This will be followed by an updated mineral resource estimate (MRE) and a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). These steps are expected to enhance the project's economics and continue to derisk its development through comprehensive permitting, environmental, geotechnical, and baseline studies. The robust results from the channel sampling have reinforced the project's potential, with Krauth noting, "These are more outstanding results from channel sampling that demonstrate just how robust the project is. I agree with management, and believe Cerro Las Minitas remains a large-scale underground silver project with strong economics and significant upside potential in a mining-friendly jurisdiction." A long-term shareholder, the expert also highlighted the rarity and value of such a large-scale, high-grade silver project, stating, "There are very few advanced, undeveloped projects that are primary higher-grade silver and of such scale with +300Moz (million ounces) AgEq. That's why I'm a long-term shareholder." The company was also ranked 28th overall in the <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/03/13/mining-sector-dominates-tsx-venture-50-as-gold-bull-market-continues.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TSX Venture 50</a> after its share price went up 284% and its market cap went up 401% in 2025. <h2 style="text-align: center;">The Catalyst: Silver's Losses Reduced</h2> On Thursday, silver is seeing a reduction in its recent losses, reaching session highs just above US$59 after recovering from Wednesday's lows of US$57.22, <a href="https://www.fxstreet.com/news/silver-price-forecasts-xag-usd-picks-up-above-5900-as-us-dollar-softens-202607091014" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a report by Guillermo Alcala for FX Street on July 9</a>. This rebound comes as the U.S. Dollar experiences a pullback, providing some relief to precious metals, which have been under pressure. Despite this slight recovery, silver's overall trend remains bearish, with the metal having shed over US$3 earlier in the week. The slight uplift in silver prices is partly due to a weakening U.S. Dollar, which followed the release of the minutes from the Federal Reserve's latest meeting, Alcala wrote. The Fed reiterated its commitment to combating inflation, but the minutes also revealed a divided committee, leaving investors uncertain about the timing of future interest rate hikes. Additionally, geopolitical tensions are influencing the market, with Iran and the US engaging in attacks for the second consecutive day. However, remarks from U.S. President Donald Trump suggesting that Iran "wants to make a deal so badly" indicate a potential return to negotiations between Washington and Tehran. From a technical analysis perspective, silver was trading at US$59.13, maintaining a bearish near-term outlook as it hovers around the midpoint of the range from the last two weeks. This follows a sharp 35% decline in less than two months. The four-hour Relative Strength Index (14) is at 45.32, indicating a neutral stance, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains negative, suggesting that downward momentum could continue. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-450] On the downside, initial support is identified at the lows of June 24 and 26, in the US$55.60-US$55.70 range. Below that, the 127.2% Fibonacci retracement of the late June drop at US$51.40, and the late November 2025 lows at US$48.64 are seen as subsequent targets. For the bulls to alleviate immediate downward pressure, silver would need to surpass Wednesday's highs at US$61 and target the July 6 high in the US$62.50 area. Should this occur, the mid-June highs near US$71.75 could come into focus, potentially shifting the near-term bearish bias to a more bullish outlook. Silver prices are currently facing downward pressure as the U.S. dollar strengthens and Treasury yields rise, amidst escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran, which have also driven oil prices higher, <a href="https://www.fxempire.com/forecasts/article/premium-silver-price-forecast-final-drop-may-complete-silver-bottom-near-50-1608969" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a report by Muhammad Umair for FX Empire on July 8</a>. This geopolitical unrest has contributed to increased market uncertainty, triggering a sell-off in metals, including silver, he said. However, the broader outlook for silver remains optimistic, with predictions suggesting that the current dip could be the final stage of correction before a significant rally begins. The price range of US$50 to US$60 is identified as a crucial buying zone, with a potential drop to US$50 possibly marking the completion of a bottom formation, setting the stage for a rally towards US$90. The recent U.S. military strikes against Iran underscore the ongoing conflict, despite a ceasefire agreement, Umair noted. These strikes were a response to Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy passage. The situation heightens risks related to energy security and shipping, with oil prices reacting swiftly due to the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz. The surge in oil prices reflects not a crude supply shortage but the fear and uncertainty surrounding potential disruptions. Continued tensions and potential closures of the Strait could escalate oil prices further, stoking inflation fears and exerting pressure on global markets. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ownership and Share Structure1</h2> About 1% is owned by insiders and management, about 2% by institutions, and about 18% by strategic investors.

(MSCL:TSX; MSLE:NASDAQ) shares promising data from its study evaluating a drug to fight Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Find out why at least one expert says the study "delivered" great data.Satellos Bioscience Inc. (MSCL:TSX; MSLE:NASDAQ) shared promising six-month interim data from its TRAILHEAD study evaluating the investigational drug SAT-3247 in adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), <a href="https://ir.satellos.com/news/news-details/2026/Satellos-Reports-Six-Month-Interim-TRAILHEAD-Data-Showing-Reduced-Muscle-Fat-Fraction-Increased-Effort-Stable-Strength-Lower-CK-and-Favorable-Safety-Profile-in-DMD-Adults-Treated-with-SAT-3247/default.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a July 8 release</a>. The participants, four adults aged between 21 and 28 who had previously completed the Phase 1a/b CL-101 study, exhibited reduced muscle fat fraction, increased total effort, stable strength, lower CK levels, and a safety and tolerability profile consistent with prior data, said the clinical-stage biotech company focused on developing novel therapies for degenerative muscle diseases. "Adults living with DMD represent one of the most challenging populations in which to evaluate treatment effects because of advanced muscle loss, fat infiltration, and reduced muscle stem cell reserves," David Geffen School of Medicine Professor of Neurology and Pediatrics at UCLA Dr. Perry Shieh said. "Despite meaningful advances with exon-skipping therapies and gene therapy, DMD remains a disease for which there is no cure." The doctor continued, "Adults living with DMD continue to experience progressive muscle loss, making improvement in fat fraction and total effort promising, and stability across multiple clinically relevant measures as observed with SAT-3247 treatment makes these findings potentially clinically meaningful. Although the study is small, the consistency across measures of strength, muscle composition, effort, quality of life and safety is highly encouraging for the ongoing clinical evaluation of SAT-3247 in TRAILHEAD and BASECAMP." The study's data highlights include SAT-3247's well-tolerated nature, consistent safety profile, and 100% compliance over an average of 186 days of drug exposure, the release noted. MRI assessments showed all four participants experienced a decline in muscle fat fraction, with an average improvement of 3.7%. Additionally, there was an approximate 34% increase in TE99C, a measure of maximum effort in the upper limbs, suggesting enhanced upper limb activity, according to the company. Stability was observed across all measures of upper extremity strength, including handgrip and handheld dynamometry of the elbow and shoulder, maintaining the near-doubling of handgrip strength reported during the CL-101 study through to the end of the six-month follow-up. "We are excited by the six-month interim TRAILHEAD data showing consistent stability or improvement across multiple clinically relevant measures following SAT-3247 treatment in adults living with DMD," Satellos Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Frank Gleeson said. "We believe these findings continue to show the biological activity of SAT-3247 and are potentially encouraging for BASECAMP, where a pediatric DMD population with greater remaining muscle mass may offer additional opportunity to demonstrate the clinical potential of SAT-3247. We remain on track to complete enrollment in BASECAMP and to initiate US clinical trial sites for TRAILHEAD in the third quarter of this year." Further supporting measures from the study include a 38% decline in mean CK from the CL-101 baseline through month six in TRAILHEAD, and improvements or stability in mean PUL2.0 scores, which assess upper limb function, the company said. Additionally, mean PedsQL-MFS scores, a quality-of-life measure for adults, increased by 6.94 points from the baseline to month six in TRAILHEAD. Satellos said it remains on track to complete enrollment in BASECAMP and to initiate U.S. clinical trial sites for TRAILHEAD in the third quarter of this year, continuing to explore the potential of SAT-3247 in treating DMD. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Treatment Receives Fast Track Designation</h2> <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/07/01/drug-developer-scores-major-fda-nod-eyes-big-gains-in-muscle-disease-market.html?utm_medium=feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In June, Satellos announced</a> a significant regulatory milestone as its SAT-3247 treatment for DMD received Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

"Fast Track designation represents an important validation of SAT-3247 and our commitment to transforming the treatment landscape for Duchenne," Gleeson said at the time. "Together with our Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease designations, this recognition further strengthens the momentum behind our clinical program." He emphasized the unique regenerative mechanism of SAT-3247, which aims to re-establish the biological signals necessary for effective muscle repair and regeneration. Gleeson also highlighted the company’s ongoing efforts to advance its Phase 2 studies and its commitment to continuous engagement with the FDA to progress SAT-3247's development for the benefit of individuals and families dealing with Duchenne. <h2 style="text-align: center;">Report: Analyst Says Results Are 'Impressive'</h2> <a href="https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/satellos-intriguing-duchenne-data-raise-hopes-ahead-key-readout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to Nick Paul Taylor writing for Fierce Biotech on July 8</a>, The DMD data impressed Guggenheim Securities analysts, who called the results intriguing and consistent. “In our view, the consistency of effect across this diverse set of endpoints is suggestive of a true drug effect — an impressive feat given the advanced disease state of these patients,” the analysts said in a note to investors. “To the best of our knowledge, other DMD therapies have only been able to slow the rate of fat deposition but did not result in a reduction in FF.” During a recent call with investors, Wildon Farwell, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Satellos, highlighted the encouraging changes observed in muscle fat fraction (FF) as measured by MRI scans, according to the report by Taylor. This measure is the primary endpoint of the Trailhead phase 2 trial, which Satellos is currently conducting to evaluate the efficacy of SAT-3247 in adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Farwell noted that increases in FF are typically associated with a loss of function in DMD patients, underscoring the significance of these findings. Analysts from Guggenheim have expressed optimism about the implications of the adult data for the upcoming Basecamp study, which will involve boys aged 7 to 10 years, Taylor wrote. They regard the adult study results as a promising indicator for the pediatric trial. Satellos has announced plans to complete enrollment for the Basecamp study in the third quarter and expects to release initial topline data from the study in the fourth quarter. Additionally, one-year data on the four adult patients participating in the Trailhead trial are also scheduled to be released in the fourth quarter, providing further insights into the long-term effects of SAT-3247. <h2 style="text-align: center;">'MSLE Delivered!'</h2> According to Chen Lin of What is Chen Buying? What is Chen Selling? in a July 8 update, "MSLE delivered!" "The data couldn’t be better in my opinion," Chen wrote. "Not only did two patients improve significantly in the MRI, all the four patients are moving in the right direction. I believe if MSLE can deliver good data of the basecamp Q4 and continue improving trailhead data, accelerated approval should be achievable." Chen said he sees the company hitting US$100 per share "by the end of the year if the data are as good as we hope." "I have been there before and can see this happening if the data are positive," the expert said. "The market is giving less than 10% chance of success, I believe it is very mispriced." On February 10, 2026, Zacks Research gave Satellos a "Hold" rating but did not provide a price target. On March 11, 2026, Yanni Souroutzidis of Cantor Fitzgerald & Company gave the company a "Strong Buy" rating but did not provide a price target. On March 30, 2026, Arthur He of H.C.
