Investor Insight

Centurion Minerals offers investors an early-stage entry point into a strategically located gold exploration company positioned within one of North America’s most prolific and active mining districts. With a restructured corporate foundation, and a highly experienced geological and corporate finance team, the company is primed for value-creating discoveries.

Overview

Centurion Minerals (TSXV:CTN) is a Canadian exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of precious metals projects in the Americas.

Location map of the Casa Berardi West property in Northeastern Ontario

The company’s strategy is centered on advancing high-quality, early-stage gold assets through systematic exploration to define drill-ready targets and unlock the discovery potential inherent in its three-part claim package: the Newman, Noseworthy and Hepburn properties. Situated near major operations and new discoveries, these claims benefit from excellent infrastructure, year-round road access and proximity to proven mineralized structural corridors. Centurion intends to increase shareholder value through targeted geophysics, ground truthing and drilling programs designed to reveal new high-grade zones, as well as through potential future acquisitions of complementary gold assets across the Americas.

Backed by a leadership team with decades of exploration, geology, corporate finance and project development experience, Centurion is positioned to capitalize on strong gold market fundamentals and renewed investor interest in junior exploration companies. With a low current valuation and advancing work program, the company provides leverage to both exploration success and broader trends in the gold sector.

Company Highlights

  • Highly prospective gold project in a world-class district located in the central north Abitibi greenstone belt, adjacent to major deposits and producing mines including Hecla Mining’s (NYSE:HL) Casa Berardi mine and Agnico Eagle’s (TSX:AEM) Detour Lake operations.
  • Exceptional closeology advantage, with its Casa Berardi West project situated just 12 km from AMEX Exploration’s (TSXV:AMX) 1.6 Moz “Perron” discovery and along the same structural corridors that have produced multi-million-ounce deposits.
  • Significant historic drilling across the three claim groups, including results up to 38 g/t gold and multiple intervals indicating gold-bearing iron formations and shear zones.
  • Clear exploration strategy including historic data compilation, geophysical surveys, target generation and a planned program to define new mineralized zones.
  • Experienced management and technical team with decades of experience in mineral exploration, and international corporate finance, enhances the potential of uncovering additional exploration opportunities.
  • Low market capitalization and recently reactivated corporate structure, offering investors a low entry point ahead of meaningful upside catalysts.

Key Project

Casa Berardi West Gold Project

The Casa Berardi West project is Centurion’s flagship gold exploration asset, encompassing approximately 6,732 hectares across three contiguous claim groups – Newman, Noseworthy and Hepburn – located 66 km northeast of Cochrane, Ontario. The project sits along structural corridors that host some of the region’s most significant deposits, including Hecla Mining’s Casa Berardi mine (3 Moz past production, plus 4 Moz in reserves and resources), Agnico Eagle’s Detour Lake mine (15 Moz reserve, producing ~659,000 oz of gold per year ), and AMEX Exploration’s Perron discovery (1.6 Moz measured and indicated resource at 6.14 g/t gold).

Location of the three claim groups at Casa Berardi West

Geological Setting & Closeology Advantage

The project is situated within the central north Abitibi Subprovince, an Archean greenstone belt known globally for its prolific endowment of gold and base metals. The claims lie adjacent to geological features associated with multiple major deposits – iron formations, shear zones and VMS trends – creating strong analogues to high-grade gold mines such as the Musselwhite mine in Northern Ontario.

This “closeology” positioning significantly enhances the potential for Centurion’s ground to host similar mineralization.

Historic Results & Target Areas

Historic exploration across the Casa Berardi West project – spanning more than 70 RC and diamond drill holes – has already confirmed the presence of gold-bearing structures and favorable host rocks. Notably, previous work returned multiple samples above 1 g/t gold, including a standout result of 38 g/t gold, demonstrating strong mineralization potential across the claim area.

Significant historic drill results at Newman target

Across the three claim groups, drilling and geophysical surveys have identified key geological features associated with major deposits in the region, including iron formations, shear zones and sulphidized horizons. Several zones of interest remain untested or underexplored, particularly along structural trends that extend from nearby high-grade gold and VMS systems such as the Perron and Normetal areas.

These findings provide Centurion with multiple high-priority target areas for follow-up exploration, forming the foundation for its next phase of geophysical work and upcoming drill targeting.

Canada One Mining Corp. (TSXV: CONE,OTC:COMCF) (OTC Pink: COMCF) (FSE: AU31) (‘Canada One’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide a review of the Company’s 2025 key accomplishments at its 100% owned Copper Dome Project, (‘Copper Dome’, ‘Project’ or ‘Property’), Princeton B.C.

2025 PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

  • A five-year exploration drilling permit was granted by the British Columbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals
  • Adjacent claim staking of Copper Dome East expanded the Project size to 7,997 ha
  • Acquisition of Copper Dome North, an adjacent property, expanded the Project size to 12,833 ha
  • Fall fieldwork program established 53 field stations with full metadata across the property
  • Rock samples have been sent for assaying
  • Copper sulphides, including bornite and chalcopyrite were observed in several rock samples
  • Key alteration assemblages observed are indicative of proximity to porphyry centers

Peter Berdusco, President and CEO of the Company commented: ‘2025 marked a significant step forward for the Copper Dome Project. The granting of a five-year drilling permit, combined with strategic property expansion to over 12,800 hectares, gives us both the time horizon and land position needed to properly evaluate the system. The identification of copper sulphides, including bornite and chalcopyrite, together with alteration assemblages consistent with porphyry-style mineralization, reinforces our belief that the Project has strong discovery potential. We look forward to receiving rock sample assay results and advancing the Project toward drill-ready status in 2026.’

Year-end Review

The 2025 exploration program at the Copper Dome Project represented a key advancement in the systematic evaluation of the property, highlighted by the receipt of a five-year exploration drilling permit. This permit provides the Company with a defined multi-year framework to plan and execute phased drilling programs, significantly de-risking future exploration timelines.

In parallel, the Company expanded the Project footprint through strategic staking and acquisition of adjacent claims, consolidating a contiguous land package totaling 12,833 hectares. Fall fieldwork established a robust geological foundation, including 53 fully documented field stations, and identified copper sulphide mineralization and alteration assemblages indicative of proximity to porphyry-style mineralization. Rock samples collected during the program have been submitted for assaying, with results expected to further refine geological interpretations and prioritize drill targets.

Upcoming Catalysts

Q1 2026 – Rock sample assay results

 West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (TSXV: WHY,OTC:WHYRF) (FSE: W0H) (the ‘Company’ or ‘West High Yield’) today released the following letter from President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Marasco Jr.

Letter from President and CEO

Dear Shareholders,

As we close out 2025, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all our shareholders for their continued support and confidence in the Company This year has been one of meaningful progress, disciplined execution, and growing momentum across the Company’s business.

In 2025, the Company achieved an important milestone with the award of the BC Mines Act Permit for the Record Ridge magnesium project (the ‘Project‘). This accomplishment represents years of focused technical, environmental, and regulatory work, and positions the Company to enter a transformative phase as it moves toward construction and first production at the Project in 2026.

Throughout the year, West High Yield’s team remained focused on disciplined execution, regulatory progress, environmental stewardship, and strengthening its foundation as the Company advance Record Ridge toward development. These efforts have materially de-risked the Project and advanced it into its current stage of pre-construction readiness.

At the same time, the global landscape for critical minerals has shifted decisively. Magnesium/Silica/Nickel and Iron have emerged as priority materials for governments and industries seeking to secure domestic and North American supply chains. In response, governments across Canada, the United States, and the European Union have:

  • enacted policies to accelerate permitting for strategic minerals;
  • introduced incentives, grants, and funding access for domestic mining and processing; and
  • strengthened supply chain mandates for materials essential to national security, decarbonization, and advanced manufacturing.

These macro forces present a significant tailwind for companies like West High Yield with advanced-stage, strategically located critical mineral assets. The recognition of these critical minerals as ‘strategic’ reinforces the relevance of Record Ridge, underscores the relevance of the Project, and emphasises the opportunity ahead as the Company moves toward production.

With key regulatory, environmental, and engineering milestones completed and additional work well underway, the Company is entering its final stages of pre-construction readiness.

The Company’s 2026 roadmap includes:

  • completion of final Project engineering and mine readiness planning;
  • Project long-lead procurement, site preparation, and infrastructure development; and
  • the launch of Project construction and a transition toward operational start-up.

Supported by strong global demand, increasing policy support, and the meaningful progress achieved this year, 2026 is poised to be a pivotal year for the Company as it transitions Record Ridge from planning to construction and development.

Looking Ahead

West High Yield enters the new year with a clear mission and a BC Mines Act permit: to build Canada’s first environmentally responsible magnesium/silica mine, and deliver long-term value to its shareholders, indigenous partners, local communities, and other stakeholders.

West High Yield thanks you for your continued commitment, confidence, and support and belief in its vision. The Company looks forward to sharing further updates as it advances toward full Project construction and operational readiness in the year ahead.

On behalf of the entire team at West High Yield, I wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a healthy, prosperous, and successful 2026.

Sincerely,

Frank Marasco Jr.

President and CEO

Today’s crypto news to know

US crypto funds See US$952M outflow amid regulatory delays

Investors pulled US$952 million from US crypto investment products last week, marking the first weekly outflow in a month, according to data from CoinShares.

The exodus was concentrated in the US totaling US$990 million, which was partially offset by modest inflows into Canadian and German products.

Analysts attributed the sell-off to continued delays in the US CLARITY Act, prolonging regulatory uncertainty, alongside concerns about large holders offloading positions.

Ethereum-based funds led the outflows with US$555 million, while Bitcoin products saw US$460 million leave.

Hong Kong moves to unlock insurance capital for crypto investments

Hong Kong’s Insurance Authority has proposed new rules that would allow licensed insurers to invest in cryptocurrencies and related infrastructure, potentially unlocking billions in capital.

According to a Bloomberg report, insurers under the proposed framework would face a 100 percent “risk charge” on direct crypto holdings, meaning a dollar of capital must be set aside for every dollar invested. Stablecoins pegged to fiat would attract lower risk charges.

The initiative aims to attract institutional investors while maintaining prudential safeguards against crypto volatility.

Public consultation on the draft rules is scheduled for February through April 2025, with formal legislative submissions expected later in the year.

Binance allowed high-risk accounts post-plea deal, FT reports

Binance reportedly continued to permit suspicious accounts to operate after its US$4.3 billion U.S. plea agreement in 2023, according to a Financial Times investigation.

Internal files reviewed by the FT showed accounts linked to terror financing networks, improbable login patterns, and failed identity checks remained active, moving billions of dollars in crypto.

One account from Venezuela moved US$93 million, with portions connected to networks tied to Iran and Hezbollah.

The silver price was on the rise once again this week — it surged past the US$67 per ounce level on Friday (December 19), hitting a new record before pulling back.

As for gold, it spent much of the period around the US$4,330 per ounce level, although it rose as high as US$4,360 on Thursday (December 18), approaching its own all-time high.

Investors were eyeing November US consumer price index (CPI) data, which came out on Thursday. It was up 2.7 percent year-on-year, while core CPI was measured at 2.6 percent.

Those figures were quite a bit lower than analysts’ estimates, and data collection issues caused by the US government shutdown have left market participants questioning the results.

Notably, Bureau of Labor Statistics officials had to make ‘certain methodological assumptions’ because the October CPI report was canceled entirely. The bureau also started November data collection later than usual, driving concerns about a rebound in numbers for December.

US jobs data for both October and November came out this week as well, showing that the unemployment rate for last month rose to 4.6 percent, the highest since 2021.

While 64,000 jobs were added in November, 105,000 were lost in October, and revisions took 33,000 jobs away from the months of August and September.

Outside US economic data, it’s worth noting that for silver there’s still a lot of focus on behind-the-scenes actions that could be impacting the price.

Here’s what Substack newsletter writer John Rubino had to say about that:

‘A lot of the discontinuities that we’re seeing in the silver market right now are due to the fact that the big exchanges like Comex may not have enough silver to satisfy the demands of futures contract holders.

‘In other words, there are a lot more people out there with long futures contracts that could come in and demand silver than there is silver to satisfy that demand. And the number of people who are standing for delivery on futures contracts is rising, and the amount of silver in these exchanges is shrinking.’

Bullet briefing — Platinum beats gold, copper hits new record

Platinum price on the move

I’d be remiss if I didn’t also take a moment to mention platinum.

While gold and silver have been making headlines, platinum’s 2025 rise has been quiet, but significant — it’s up over 100 percent year-to-date and nearly hit US$1,980 per ounce this week.

Platinum is somewhat similar to silver in that they both have precious and industrial sides, and they’ve both seen persistent deficits in recent years.

Platinum’s deficit has definitely helped it rise this year, but looking forward to next year the World Platinum Investment Council is expecting a balanced market. When I saw that, I wondered if that would mean lower prices in 2026. But that may not necessarily be the case.

Edward Sterck said there are a couple of nuances in the council’s outlook — for example, it’s anticipating profit taking from exchange-traded funds, but if that doesn’t happen, then the platinum deficit may persist. He also noted that balance in 2026 wouldn’t erase years of deficits:

‘A balanced market doesn’t solve for the fact we’ve had three years of deficits. It doesn’t in any way, I suppose, rebuild aboveground stocks. And it’s the shortage of aboveground stocks that seems to be one of the major catalysts behind this price action and behind the market tightness.’

Copper price hits new high

It’s not only precious metals that have been hitting new highs this year.

The price of copper has been climbing as well, hitting a new all-time high of close to US$12,000 per metric ton last week on the London Metal Exchange.

It’s pulled back slightly since then, but market watchers agree the copper outlook remains strong as rising demand meets constrained supply. In fact, I’ve been asking experts what they think the top-performing asset of next year will be, and copper has been a popular pick.

Lobo Tiggre of IndependentSpeculator.com chose the base metal as his highest-confidence trade of 2025, and he said he’s sticking with it next year.

Here’s what he had to say about copper:

‘Top pick for 2026 is copper. Similar reasons to 2025 —the copper price has been kicked around, up and down by what I think of as sort of extraneous issues. But the fundamentals mean the demand scenario just looks phenomenal, and the supply has been really constrained.’

We also break down next week’s catalysts to watch to help you prepare for the week ahead.

In this article:

    This week’s tech sector performance

    US stocks advanced this week amid key economic data releases, with tech leading gains after Micron Technology’s (NASDAQ:MU) results release and easing artificial intelligence (AI) sector pressures.

    The S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) rose 0.02 percent on the week, closing Friday (December 19) at 6,834.5.

    However, tech stock losses earlier in the week kept gains in check. The Nasdaq Composite (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) lost 0.1 percent for the week to close at 23,307.62 on Friday.

    3 tech stocks moving markets this week

    1. Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU)

    Micron Technology reported earnings for its first fiscal quarter of 2026 on Thursday (December 18), showing strong results driven by surging high-bandwidth memory sales for AI data centers

    Revenue reached US$13.64 billion, up 93 percent from last year and higher than the company’s September revenue projection of US$12.8 billion. Adjusted earnings per share were US$4.78, beating estimates of US$3.95. The company generated strong free cashflow and declared a US$0.115 per share dividend payable on January 14, 2026.

    Looking ahead, Micron adjusted its profit guidance for the upcoming quarter to US$8.42 per share, higher than Wall Street’s US$4.78 consensus, due to continued AI boom momentum.

    Investors responded to the results by sending Micron shares up 10 percent post-earnings. Momentum carried into Friday’s trading session, spilling over into other tech stocks, which have come under pressure in recent weeks over lofty valuations and funding concerns. The company ended the week 0.58 percent higher.

    2. Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ:DJT)

    Trump Media & Technology Group rose nearly 30 percent before Thursday’s opening bell after the company announced plans to merge with fusion power company TAE Technologies.

    The all-stock deal is reportedly valued at more than US$6 billion. Devin Nunes, chair and chief executive of Trump Media, and Dr. Michl Binderbauer, CEO and director at TAE, are set to serve as co-CEOs.

    TAE is a private company with backing from Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and other companies. The merger is slated to create one of the first publicly traded nuclear fusion companies. “We’re taking a big step forward toward a revolutionary technology that will cement America’s global energy dominance for generations,“ Nunes said.

    Shares of Trump Media closed the week with a gain of 39.53 percent.

    3. Oracle (NYSE:ORCL)

    Oracle shares dropped 5.4 percent on Wednesday (December 17) after a Financial Times report claimed data center investor Blue Owl Capital pulled out of a US$10 billion financing round for one of the AI data centers Oracle is constructing for OpenAI in Michigan. Talks reportedly stalled due to concerns over project delays, tougher debt terms, Oracle’s rising debt load and lease arrangements, per sources cited by the news outlet.

    Oracle disputed the report’s implications, stating that Michigan negotiations are “on schedule” without Blue Owl.

    The company said its project development partner, Related Digital, has chosen “the best equity partner from a competitive group of options, which in this instance was not Blue Owl.” Still, the company finished the week with its share price ahead by 2.18 percent as tech stocks staged an end-of-year comeback.

    Top tech news of the week

                Tech ETF performance

                Tech exchange-traded funds (ETFs) track baskets of major tech stocks, meaning their performance helps investors gauge the overall performance of the niches they cover.

                This week, the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) declined by 0.94 percent, while the Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXQ) saw a loss of 0.66 percent.

                The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SMH) also decreased by 0.61 percent.

                Tech news to watch next week

                Markets will be closed mid-week next week, with low trading volumes likely keeping movement calm.

                Watch for year-end selling in tech stocks, a potential rotation into safer sectors and light data like factory orders and home sales reports. Any comments on future interest rates could move markets somehwat, but expect mostly flat trading unless big news like policy changes breaks through.
