Canada One Mining Corp. (TSXV: CONE) (OTC Pink: COMCF) (FSE: AU31) (‘Canada One’ or the ‘Company’) announces it has agreed to acquire a 4,836-hectare copper-gold property contiguous to the northwest of Hudbay Minerals’ Copper Mountain Mine, to be known as ‘Copper Dome North’ (the ‘Property’).

Under the property purchase agreement, dated October 6, 2025, (the ‘Agreement’), the Company will acquire a 100% interest in the Property, from an arm’s-length vendor (the ‘Acquisition’). The Acquisition increases the Company’s flagship Copper Dome Project (‘Copper Dome’) size by ~60%, to 12,833 ha (from 7,997 ha) (see Figure 1: Copper Dome Project Map with Newly Acquired Copper Dome North).

Peter Berdusco, President and CEO, commented: ‘Though outside the formal Copper Dome footprint, the Property’s proximity to Copper Mountain and its continuity within the district’s geologic setting warrant the designation ‘Copper Dome North.’ In addition, the Property is adjacent to our 100%-owned Goldrop, an under-explored, historical small-scale producer of high-grade gold and silver. Together, these factors make the Acquisition compelling and well suited to a systematic exploration program.’

Copper Dome North Acquisition Terms

The Agreement provides for the 100% acquisition of the Property with no net smelter return royalty (NSR) in consideration for 250,000 common shares of the Company (the ‘Consideration Shares’), valuing the transaction at $12,500 based on a deemed price of $0.05 per share. The Consideration Shares will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the closing of the Acquisition.

Completion of the Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange. The Acquisition does not involve any Non-Arm’s Length Parties (as defined in Exchange policies). The Company will not devote the majority of its working capital or resources to the development of Copper Dome North. The primary focus of the Company remains the exploration and future drilling at Copper Dome. As a result, the Acquisition does not constitute a ‘fundamental acquisition’ for the Company within the policies of the Exchange. No finders’ fees or commissions are payable in connection with the Acquisition.

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR,OTC:LFLRF) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (‘LaFleur Minerals’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce the engagement of global mining, sustainability, and environmental consultant firm Environmental Resources Management (‘ERM’) for the completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (‘PEA’) for the purpose of restarting gold production at the Company’s wholly-owned Beacon Gold Mill using mineralized material from its Swanson Gold Deposit (‘Swanson’). Both the Swanson Gold Project and Beacon Gold Mill are located in proximity to one another and strategically positioned in one of the world’s largest and most established gold-producing regions, the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. On the back of recent news of the ongoing drilling program that is delivering encouraging high-grade assay results that suggest continuity and scale of the mineralized system, and potential for further expansion at the Swanson Gold Deposit (refer to press release dated September 24, 2025), ERM now brings a highly experienced technical team to deliver a robust mining and economic study for the restart of the Beacon Gold Mill using mineralized material primarily supplied from the Company’s Swanson Gold Deposit.

LaFleur Minerals IS AIMING TO RESTART THE BEACON GOLD MILL USING MINERALIZED MATERIAL PRIMARILY SUPPLIED FROM THE COMPANY’S 100%-OWNED SWANSON GOLD DEPOSIT, LOCATED IN VAL D’OR, QUEBEC, CANADA, WITH TOLL MILLING OPTIONS FROM OTHER REGIONAL COMPANY DEPOSITS.

Kal Malhi, Chairman of LaFleur Minerals, comments, ‘Advancing the Beacon Gold Mill to restart gold production with gold prices at record levels above US$3,800 per ounce offers amazing economic potential. The Beacon Gold Mill last operated in 2022 when the price of gold was US$1,600 per ounce. Having 100% ownership of the Beacon Gold Mill, along with a fully permitted tailings storage facility and the nearby Swanson Gold Deposit differentiates LaFleur Minerals from single facet junior gold exploration companies and offers investors a true near-term gold producing investment. LaFleur isn’t relying on toll milling other companies’ gold deposits, but a fully functional and vertically integrated gold mining company on the cusp of producing ounces aimed for early 2026 from its own Swanson Gold Deposit.’

Preliminary Economic Assessment Study

The Company is working diligently with ERM to complete the PEA in the coming weeks. The PEA will be managed by ERM’s Technical Mining Services Group, based in Toronto, Ontario, which operates as the technical services arm of ERM. ERM acquired CSA Global in 2019 to strengthen its capabilities in mineral resource/reserve evaluation, mining and metallurgical engineering, and to complement its established business in environmental stewardship and sustainable development across the mining sector. ERM’s Technical Mining Services Group will oversee and disclose technical study results as part of the PEA, including the mineral resource estimate update, open-pit mine plan, and ore-sorting and metallurgical testing programs and Beacon Gold Mill restart costs. The ERM team includes highly experienced mining engineers, metallurgists, resource geologists, and environmental and sustainability specialists, ensuring a comprehensive and multidisciplinary evaluation. This collaboration underscores LaFleur Minerals’ commitment to responsible resource development and positions the Company to capitalize on the current gold market momentum.

The PEA will serve as the basis for the restart of Beacon Mill, which was recently refurbished with over $20 million worth of upgrades and includes a fully permitted tailings storage facility. Beacon Gold Mill’s state of readiness significantly reduces CAPEX and the timeline for a production restart, which the Company expects will be validated through a realistic PEA. The PEA will also benefit from mill operating data from 2022 when the mill last ran at gold price of US$1600/ounce and aims to provide accurate, real-world cost estimates across mining, milling, and tailings operations.

Regulations require companies to define initial mineral resources on a project via a PEA, and this applies to the Beacon Gold Mill production restart and the Swanson Gold Deposit. The Company believes that there are three reasons why the PEA, which includes restarting the Beacon Gold Mill with mineralized material supply from the Swanson Gold Deposit, will be a sufficient and comprehensive plan for gold production restart.

  1. Realistic Costing: The PEA will provide a AACE class 5 estimate understanding of costs, from blasting, mining, moving a tonne of material to milling, and to operating the tailings treatment facility. Additionally, the mill was operational as recent as two years ago, so costs for that facility are also well understood. Most PEA studies rely on rough estimates for milling costs; the inclusion of the Beacon Mill in the PEA will have realized operating costs from when the mill last operated in 2022, at a time when the price of gold was US$1,600 per ounce.

  2. The Beacon Gold Mill was recently refurbished by Monarch Mining for C$20 million in 2022 and is already built with a state of readiness to restart. Most PEA studies include as-yet unanswered questions on essential aspects; examples include a full definition of processing flowsheets, mining methods, tailings facility design, or human resource requirements. With the Beacon Mill having operated only a few years ago and with the Company having studied and remedied many of the issues from that period over the last 18 months, there are very few outstanding engineering questions at the Beacon Mill aside from equipment upgrades. A Mining Model for the restart has been reviewed and refined by LaFleur and Consultants and will form a strong part of the PEA, maintenance and repairs.

Tailings Dam Lift

As part of the PEA disclosure, LaFleur Minerals has conducted technical studies to support upgrades to the Tailing Pond located at the Beacon Mill, providing complete details of the required upgrades and associated costs.

Definition Drilling

Definition drilling at the Swanson Gold Deposit is currently underway with ‘twinning’ of mineralized holes at the Swanson Deposit. This effort is expected to provide confident updated mineral resource confirmation at the Swanson Gold Deposit using a diamond drill.

The twinned holes are planned to confirm and refine the spacing between historical intercepts, thereby confirming the existing geological model and analytical results that define the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at the Swanson Project.

Open-Pit Mining Scenario at Swanson Gold Deposit

The entirety of the MRE at the Swanson Gold Deposit is located on an existing mining lease, and permitting is in progress to extract mineralization destined for the Beacon Gold Mill. The mining lease permits the extraction of a large bulk sample of mineralized material with minimal permitting requirements.

As part of the PEA, LaFleur Minerals has commissioned an ore-sorting study using Swanson Gold Deposit material in partnership with the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC). The ore-sorting technology will concentrate the mineralized material prior shipment by truck to the Beacon Gold Mill, reducing trucking costs and minimizing waste rock processing at the Beacon Gold Mill. The ore-sorted material will also undergo metallurgical testing by SGS Minerals in Lakefield to simulate metallurgical results at the Beacon Gold Mill.

The Swanson Gold Deposit is easily road accessible with minimal infrastructure improvements required and only ~60 kilometres from the Beacon Gold Mill, making it an ideal source of mineralized material to be trucked over for processing. LaFleur Minerals is currently receiving detailed quotation for trucking concentrate material from the Swanson Gold Deposit to the Beacon Gold Mill, and these costs will form part of the market studies and contracts section of the PEA. The Abitibi region is otherwise flush with nearby deposits that could be potential sources of material for custom milling purposes (refer to Figure 1).

Paul Ténière, CEO of LaFleur Minerals, commented, ‘Engaging a consulting firm of the caliber and reputation of ERM to complete our PEA marks a significant milestone for LaFleur Minerals. By combining our district-scale exploration and resource potential with the fully-permitted Beacon Gold Mill, we are advancing a near-term, sustainable production pathway in one of the world’s most prolific gold camps. This is an exciting step that positions us to unlock significant value for shareholders. We think we are strongly aligned with both strong investor appetite for safe, secure, and high-quality assets and favorable market timing with gold trading near record levels, as we advance the Swanson Gold Deposit with near-term production potential.

Site Visit

The Company held a Beacon Gold Mill site visit for analysts, investors and consultants in Val d’Or, Québec during August 2025 and received very positive feedback and appreciation in the Company’s stock price following the mill visit. LaFleur will be holding a second site visit at the Beacon Gold Mill and Swanson Gold Project on October 7-8, 2025, for prospective investors and financiers, as well as ERM. ERM will attend to begin investigations for the purpose of assessing the state of readiness and infrastructure at the Beacon Mine and Mill, including equipment and tailing storage facility, and the quality of mineralized material and access at the Swanson Gold Project to gather detailed information required to complete the PEA.

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Monday (October 6) as of 9:00 a.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ether price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$124,548, up by 1.1 percent in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$122,538, and its highest was US$124,691.

Bitcoin price performance, October 6, 2025.

Chart via TradingView

BTC extended its rebound early in the week but is now testing a ‘crucial resistance zone’, according to crypto investor Ted Pillows. He noted that the recent push above this level was largely driven by perpetual futures, rather than spot or institutional demand. If institutional bids return as they did last week, Bitcoin could reclaim higher ground; otherwise, a sharp correction toward the US$118,000–US$120,000 range remains likely.

Bitcoin dominance in the crypto market now stands at 55.17 percent.

Ether (ETH) has closely followed Bitcoin’s upward price movement, rising by roughly 12 percent since the last days of September. It was priced at US$4,587.82, a 0.9 percent increase in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$4,481.90, and its highest was US$4,593.39.

ETH continues to hold firm above its US$4,500 support, with Pillows highlighting US$4,750 as the next major resistance level. However, he also warned that a drop below the US$4,250–US$4,060 zone would shift momentum back to the bears.

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$234.11, an increase of 1 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation on Monday was US$226.96, and its highest valuation was US$234.34.
  • XRP was trading for US$3.00, down by 0.2 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$2.95, and its highest was US$3.01.

ETF data and derivatives trends

The Fear & Greed Index currently reads 59, remaining firmly in neutral territory since the tail end of last week.

Last week, the cumulative net flow for spot Bitcoin ETFs was predominantly positive, with several days of inflows. According to data from the week of September 29 to October 3, spot Bitcoin ETFs had inflows on all 5 days, with October 3 recording the highest inflows at US$985.08M. The inflows were led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:IBIT) and the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC).

Cumulative total inflows for spot Bitcoin ETFs stood at US$60.05 billion as of October 3.

On the derivatives side, CoinGlass data shows Bitcoin futures open interest at US$93.53 billion, an increase of 2.13 percent over 24 hours and a rise of 0.89 percent over four hours. Open interest for Ether futures is at US$61.69 billion, up 0.93 percent over 24 hours and a 0.81 percent boost over four hours.

Today’s crypto news to know

Morgan Stanley endorses Bitcoin allocation for client portfolios

Morgan Stanley’s Global Investment Committee has formally advised clients to include digital assets in their portfolios, marking a significant policy shift for one of Wall Street’s most established banks.

In a note dated October 5, the firm recommended up to 4 percent crypto exposure in “opportunistic growth” portfolios and up to 2 percent for “balanced growth” accounts. The report also emphasized Bitcoin’s role as a “scarce, digitally native asset” with increasing institutional relevance.

The guidance coincided with Bitcoin’s rally past US$125,000 over the weekend, before settling near the US$123,000 range.

While many investors view the move as validation of Bitcoin’s maturing status and the formal ushering of crypto’s ‘mainstream era’, some traders called it “too late” given prior gains.

Morgan Stanley also confirmed that its E*Trade platform will soon allow trading in Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana via a partnership with ZeroHash.

Coinbase seeks national trust charter to expand payment services

Coinbase has applied for a national trust company charter from the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a move designed to expand its payments and custody operations under unified federal oversight.

In a company blog post, Vice President Greg Tusar clarified that Coinbase “has no intention of becoming a bank,” but aims to streamline regulation for new financial products.

Approval would enable Coinbase to scale its recently launched Coinbase Payments platform, which facilitates stablecoin transactions for merchants on Shopify and eBay.

Coinbase has also deepened partnerships with JPMorgan Chase, enabling direct account links between Chase customers and Coinbase wallets through API integration.

Similar OCC charter applications have been filed by other platforms as digital payment infrastructure moves further into mainstream finance.

Galaxy launches GalaxyOne platform

Galaxy Digital has rolled out GalaxyOne, a new trading and yield platform for individual investors, marking its first major push beyond institutional clients.

The platform offers crypto trading alongside high-yield products, including an 8 percent APY investment option limited to accredited investors. A 4 percent APY cash account, branded “GalaxyOne Cash,” is also available to non-accredited users through FDIC-insured partner Cross River Bank.

Managing Director Zac Prince said the firm aims to fill a “gap between retail traders and institutional clients,” positioning GalaxyOne as a mid-tier service with premium features.

The launch places Galaxy in direct competition with consumer-facing brokers like Robinhood and Kraken, both of which have expanded their crypto offerings this year.

GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA TheNewswire – October 6, 2025 – Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK,OTC:ANKOF) (‘ANGKOR’ OR ‘THE COMPANY’) announces its subsidiary, EnerCam Resources Co. Ltd. (Cambodia) (‘EnerCam’) has reviewed preliminary data from South Bokor Basin from the 2-D seismic program recently completed on Block VIII (‘Project’).

Keith Edwards, Technical Manager of EnerCam, comments on South Bokor Basin, ‘We have a

preliminary view of what appears as a substantial structure in the most southerly South Bokor Basin.  The structure, which is an anticline, appears to have roughly 48 square kilometers of closure and has been named the ‘South Bokor Lead’, located between 900-1500 meters from surface. We look forward to confirmation of internal structures upon completion of seismic processing and an integrated geological and geophysical interpretation in November. As we receive more data, and can apply that to the other basins, we look to determine a trend that may develop as we cover the central and more northern portions of the seismic program.   M anagement has confirmed the South Bokor Lead as the first drill target identified from the seismic program.’

Figure 1 : The map above is based on 7 East West lines and is the map of a major unconformity that is clearly visible on the seismic.  Layers above the mapped horizon are thought to be Cretaceous-Jurassic age while the layers below are thought to be Lower Jurassic to Permian in age.  This hypothesis is based on analogs in the Khorat Plateau in Thailand.

The anticline identified as the South Bokor Lead results from the interpretation of the first of four subbasins the seismic program covered on Block VIII and was the first area on which seismic was shot early in August and the first data to be received.  The remaining data from other areas of seismic is expected in segments by the latter part of October and the interpretation of that data will continue and follow thereafter.

Structural Anticline

Top of the anticline lies between two sets of semi-parallel surface hills, one side of which has a gentler slope than the other.   Reference:  geowhy.com, Oregon Basin Oil Field, Geology of Wyoming.

Anticlines contribute to the majority of oil and gas discoveries globally.   However, in order to trap hydrocarbons, there must be an impermeable layer of rock on the top surface of the dome to hold the hydrocarbons in place, one of the elements which only drilling can prove.

The mission for EnerCam is to discover Cambodia’s first commercial onshore oil and gas, as currently the country imports all its hydrocarbon-based energy products, spending several billion dollars per year.   (reference:  Cambodia imports: oec.world/en/profile/country/khm).  The seismic program included 24 lines across three provinces, employed 38 Khmer residents with 15 contractors coming from Thailand with the EnviroSeis equipment.

Edwards provides further comments, ‘ The Khmer teams were amazing, happy to learn and accomplished the work, despite the challenges.  The initial seismic data clearly shows the gross structure and various bright spots and unconformities, but we have only just started the interpretation and need more time to refine and draw definitive conclusions.’

Mike Weeks, President of EnerCam, comments ‘ Proving there is commercial oil and gas in Cambodia starts with seismic giving us sufficient information to determine drill targets.   Based on that, we are very pleased with now knowing the first subbasin is an anticline with four way closure.   This is the foundation for building out a robust program as we advance to more interpretation across the area of seismic completed.   Drilling is the only way to prove an oil and gas resource, and with no history of onshore drilling in Cambodia, the process of determining the best targets takes longer.    We still have three more subbasins to cover, so by the end of this year the science will tell us if we can plan a multi-hole exploratory drill program for next year.’

A description of the seismic from professional geologist Justin Snelling follows.  ‘Our preliminary view of the seismic reflections across the top of the structure is that they are mostly sub-parallel bedded, with seismic features that encourage us to believe there may be a thick sealing mudstone band which can form a good seal just above the mapped surface. The reflections within the anticline are discontinuous, structurally more complex, and display higher amplitudes, encouraging us to hope for significant reservoir rock development. If we are correct in our assumptions, then it is likely that fluids are trapped within this closed structure. Until the structure is drilled however, and actual petrophysical data gathered, there is no way to know what the composition of these rocks might be, nor that of any hydrocarbon fluids which may have been trapped within this four-way closure, or yet the potential value of any such resources trapped in this structure.’

Additional processing and interpretation is ongoing across the entire 24 lines of completed seismic.

The silver price kept surging on Friday (October 3), breaking US$48 per ounce.

The white metal last reached this level in 2011, the same year it nearly hit US$50 for only the second time in history. Silver’s first run to the US$50 level came in 1980, when the Hunt brothers attempted to corner the market.

Silver price chart, December 31, 2024, to October 3, 2025.

Known for lagging behind gold before outperforming, silver is now ahead of its sister metal in terms of percentage gains — it’s up close to 60 percent year-to-date, while gold has risen around 47 percent.

Still, silver remains below its all-time high, while gold continues to set new records — it’s been closing in on US$3,900 per ounce this week, buoyed by the US government shutdown.

Gold is also seeing underlying support from strong central bank buying, global geopolitical uncertainty, concerns about the US dollar and other fiat currencies and expectations of lower interest rates.

Silver acts as both a precious and industrial metal, meaning that it’s driven by many of the same factors as gold, but also has additional sources of demand. According to the Silver Institute, industrial demand for silver reached a record 680.5 million ounces in 2024, driven by usage in grid infrastructure, vehicle electrification and photovoltaics.

Total silver demand was down 3 percent year-on-year in 2024, but still exceeded supply for the fourth year in a row, resulting in a deficit of 148.9 million ounces for the year.

Watch five experts share their thoughts on the outlook for silver.

As silver gets closer to surpassing its all-time high, investors are wondering about its long-term prospects.

While many experts have lofty expectations for silver, including triple-digit price predictions, there’s a broad consensus that the white metal may correct before continuing on upward.

However, there’s also recognition that silver’s situation today is different than it was previously.

‘If you have something happen with the supply, and then on top of that at some point you’re running into issues with debt loads and currencies, that would certainly leave us probably into a much different environment for silver than either 1980 or 2011,’ said Chris Marcus, founder of Arcadia Economics.

Global equities climbed this week as investors weighed looming risks from the US government shutdown, which delayed the release of essential jobs data on Friday (October 3).

Macro headlines emphasized the possible economic impact. However, despite uncertainty, both the S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) and Wall Street advanced this week, with the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) and Nasdaq Composite (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) touching multiple record intraday highs.

The strength of the technology sector was a key driver behind these gains.

Chipmakers, tech infrastructure companies and artificial intelligence (AI) stocks led the rally, with gains to NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) and other semiconductor stocks underpinning broader market optimism.

The Nasdaq rose about 1.36 percent over the week’s five sessions.

3 tech stocks that moved markets this week

1. CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV)

CoreWeave landed up to US$14.2 billion in new business from Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) on the heels of a US$6.5 billion deal with OpenAI. Investors view this as affirmation of CoreWeave’s rising importance in the rapidly growing AI hardware market. CoreWeave climbed 11.6 percent, from US$120.71 to US$134.79, this week.

2. Shopify (NYSE:SHOP)

This Canadian e-commerce company’s shares soared after it received a price target upgrade this week.

TD Securities reinstated its ‘hold’ rating for Shopify and raised its price target from US$130 to US$156, citing strong revenue growth prospects and a strategic partnership with OpenAI to enable merchants to sell products directly through ChatGPT. Shopify’s share price climbed 13.68 percent this week, rising from US$141.75 to US$161.14.

3. Intel (NASDAQ:INTC)

Reports of a major chip-manufacturing agreement between Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) surfaced on Friday. The deal reportedly involves Intel producing AMD-designed chips at its foundries.

The report was well received by investors, contributing to Intel’s strong share price performance and reflecting positive momentum for Intel’s manufacturing capabilities and growth strategy. AMD’s official response was a brief acknowledgment of the ongoing speculation, with no explicit denial. Shares of Intel saw a 6.69 percent increase this week, climbing from US$34.52 to US$36.83. AMD advanced by 2.84 percent.

This week, the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SMH) gained 3.68 percent, while the Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXQ) increased by approximately 3.39 percent.

For its part, the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) advanced about 3.06 percent.

These gains reflect ongoing investor optimism for AI innovation and infrastructure buildup.

Other tech market news

            Tech news to watch next week

            Despite political wrangling and macro uncertainty, the technology sector has entered the fourth quarter showing positive momentum. AI hardware remains a pivotal theme, while landmark deals and investment rounds underscore bullish sentiment among both corporate insiders and institutional investors.

            Careful navigation of evolving US policy, global supply chain challenges and shifting capital flows will be critical for tech sector leadership as the final quarter of 2025 progresses.

            Next week, investors will await commentary following a planned meeting between Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and US President Donald Trump in Washington on October 6 to negotiate a deal to reduce US tariffs.

            Their meeting precedes a scheduled review of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

            US Federal Reserve discussions and related market updates will continue shaping investor sentiment as markets await more clarity on monetary policy and inflation dynamics. The likelihood of delays in key economic data releases remains high due to the ongoing US government shutdown.

            Q3 earnings from Applied Digital (NASDAQ:APLD), set for release on October 9, will provide insights into the company’s progress on its AI-focused data center expansions. The report could be a key indicator of trends and demand in the rapidly growing AI infrastructure market, potentially influencing broader industry sentiment.

            The big news impacting markets this week is the shutdown of the US government.

            While lawmakers were trying to find a funding solution, Democratic and Republican lawmakers were at loggerheads over maintaining funding for Medicaid programs. It marks the first time in seven years that the government has been shut down — the last time came during negotiations over the disputed US-Mexico border wall in December 2018.

            President Donald Trump has resolved to use the closure to push through the firing of thousands of federal government employees and cut funding to projects promised by Democrats.

            Additionally, the jobs report, scheduled for release on Friday (October 3), was delayed, causing greater uncertainty for analysts and investors who were trying to gauge the strength of the economy in September.

            Despite the lack of official government data, payroll processor ADP reported a loss of 32,000 jobs in September. The decline represents a significant difference from the 45,000 jobs analysts had expected to be added.

            Lawmakers aren’t scheduled to return to the negotiating tables until early next week.

On April 28, the company released results from its spring drilling program, with one highlighted assay returning values of 0.54 g/t gold and 4.62 g/t silver from 32.04 meters below surface; that includes an interval of 1.14 g/t gold and 10.53 g/t silver over 4.57 meters.

            The most recent news from the project was announced on September 23, when StrikePoint said it had received drill permits for the Pony Meadows target. The company noted that it is permitted to mobilize up to three rigs, and will focus on a 2.6 kilometer structure that was revealed during surface exploration.

            StrikePoint said it has two additional permits for the Sirens and Como Comet targets.

            FAQs for Canadian mining stocks

            What is the difference between the TSX and TSXV?

            The TSX, or Toronto Stock Exchange, is used by senior companies with larger market caps, and the TSXV, or TSX Venture Exchange, is used by smaller-cap companies. Companies listed on the TSXV can graduate to the senior exchange.

            How many mining companies are listed on the TSX and TSXV?

            As of May 2025, there were 1,565 companies listed on the TSXV, 910 of which were mining companies. Comparatively, the TSX was home to 1,899 companies, with 181 of those being mining companies.

            Together, the TSX and TSXV host around 40 percent of the world’s public mining companies.

            How much does it cost to list on the TSXV?

            There are a variety of different fees that companies must pay to list on the TSXV, and according to the exchange, they can vary based on the transaction’s nature and complexity. The listing fee alone will most likely cost between C$10,000 to C$70,000. Accounting and auditing fees could rack up between C$25,000 and C$100,000, while legal fees are expected to be over C$75,000 and an underwriters’ commission may hit up to 12 percent.

            The exchange lists a handful of other fees and expenses companies can expect, including but not limited to security commission and transfer agency fees, investor relations costs and director and officer liability insurance.

            These are all just for the initial listing, of course. There are ongoing expenses once companies are trading, such as sustaining fees and additional listing fees, plus the costs associated with filing regular reports.

            How do you trade on the TSXV?
