1911 Gold Corporation (‘ 1911 Gold ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) (TSXV: AUMB,OTC:AUMBF; FRA: 2KY) is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced ‘bought deal’ LIFE offering (the ‘ Offering ‘) for gross proceeds of C$13,225,232.30, including the exercise in full of the Underwriters’ Option (as defined in the press release dated June 24, 2025).

Notably, Mr. Eric Sprott increased his participation and led the financing with a commitment well above his pro rata share. This additional capital positions us well to ramp up exploration and advance key development activities at the True North underground mine, in preparation for a potential restart of operations.’

A copy of the early warning report with respect to the foregoing will appear on 1911 Gold’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and may also be obtained by calling Mr. Sprott’s office at (416) 945-3294 (2176423 Ontario Ltd., 7 King Street East, Suite 1106, Toronto Ontario M5C 3C5).

 

The Offering was conducted on a ‘bought deal’ basis led by Haywood Securities Inc. (‘ Haywood ‘) as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner, and including Velocity Trade Capital Ltd. (together with Haywood, the ‘ Underwriters ‘).

 

For 2,924,000 CEE Offered Shares, the Company, pursuant to the provisions in the Tax Act shall use an amount equal to the gross proceeds of the sale of such CEE Offered Shares to incur eligible ‘Canadian exploration expenses’ that qualify as both ‘flow-through mining expenditures’ (as defined in the Tax Act) and ‘flow-through mining expenditures’ as defined in subsection 11.7(1) of the Income Tax Act (Manitoba) for purposes of the Manitoba Mineral Exploration Tax Credit. Such expenditures shall be incurred after the Closing Date and prior to December 31, 2026 in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of the gross proceeds raised from the issue of such CEE Offered Shares. The Company shall renounce the qualifying expenditures so incurred to the purchasers of such CEE Offered Shares effective on or before December 31, 2025.

 

For 2,777,778 CEE Offered Shares, the Company, pursuant to the provisions in the Tax Act shall use an amount equal to the gross proceeds of the sale of such CEE Offered Shares to incur eligible ‘Canadian exploration expenses’, after the Closing Date and prior to October 31, 2025 in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of the gross proceeds raised from the issue of such CEE Offered Shares. The Company shall renounce the qualifying expenditures so incurred to the purchasers of such CEE Offered Shares effective on or before October 31, 2025.

 

For 28,385,855 CEE Offered Shares, the Company, pursuant to the provisions in the Tax Act shall use an amount equal to the gross proceeds of the sale of such CEE Offered Shares to incur eligible ‘Canadian exploration expenses’, after the Closing Date and prior to December 31, 2026 in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of the gross proceeds raised from the issue of such CEE Offered Shares. The Company shall renounce the qualifying expenditures so incurred to the purchasers of such CEE Offered Shares effective on or before December 31, 2025.

 

For the CDE Offered Shares, the Company, pursuant to the provisions in the Tax Act shall use an amount equal to the gross proceeds of the sale of the CEE Offered Shares to incur eligible ‘accelerated Canadian development expenses’ after the Closing Date and prior to March 31, 2026 in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of the gross proceeds raised from the issue of CDE Offered Shares. The Company shall renounce the qualifying expenditures so incurred to the purchasers of the CDE Offered Shares effective on or before March 31, 2026.

 

The net proceeds from the sale of the Non-FT Shares shall be used for general corporate and working capital purposes.

 

In consideration for its services, the Company has paid the Underwriters a cash commission of C$688,513.94, equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offering (subject to a reduction to 3.0% on certain president’s list purchases) and 2,505,037 non-transferable compensation options (the ‘Compensation Options’), equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of Offered Shares sold under the Offering (subject to reduction to 3.0% on certain president’s list purchases). Each Compensation Option is exercisable to acquire one common share (a ‘ Compensation Option Share ‘) of the Company at a price of C$0.22 per Compensation Option Share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Offering, except Compensation Options issued with respect to president’s list purchasers, with such Compensation Options to be exercisable at a price of C$0.22 per Compensation Option Share for a period of nine months from the closing date.

 

The Offered Shares were sold to purchasers resident in Canada pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions and Coordinated Blanker Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption . The Offered Shares are not subject to any hold period under applicable Canadian securities legislation.

 

The Offering is subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

 

Certain insiders of the Company (within the meaning of the rules and policies of the TSXV) (the ‘Insiders’) have acquired an aggregate of 10,288,734 common shares of the Company in connection with the Offering. The Insider’s participation in the Offering therefore constitutes a ‘related-party transaction’ within the meaning of TSXV Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘ MI 61-101 ‘). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority security holder approval requirements of the related-party rules set out in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the subject matter of the Offering does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the closing of the Offering as the details of the Offering and the participation therein by each ‘related party’ of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the Offering, and the Company wished to close the Offering on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

 

The Offered Shares have not been registered and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. Persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

  In making the forward-looking statements included in this news release, the Company have applied several material assumptions, including that the Company will use the net proceeds of the Offering as anticipated; that the Company will receive all necessary approvals in respect of the Offering; the Company´s financial condition and development plans do not change because of unforeseen events, and management’s ability to execute its business strategy and no unexpected or adverse regulatory changes with respect to the Company mineral projects, and that the specific proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced on March 3, 2025 by the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources on behalf of the Minister of Finance proposing an amendment to extend the mineral exploration tax credit for investors in flow-through shares until March 31, 2027 will be enacted.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday it was ‘highly unlikely’ he would fire Jerome Powell as chair of the Federal Reserve.

His statements, made in the Oval Office, come less than 24 hours after telling a room full of Republican lawmakers that he was considering doing so.

“No, we’re not planning on doing anything,” Trump told reporters in response to a question about whether he wanted to fire Powell.

“I don’t rule out anything but I think it’s highly unlikely unless he has to leave for fraud,” Trump said, while criticizing Powell’s management of a Fed renovation project that the White House had recently floated as a pretext for removing the Fed chair.

The president had asked GOP lawmakers late Tuesday how they felt about firing the Fed chair, according to a senior White House official. They expressed approval for firing him. The president then indicated he likely would soon but that no final decision had been made.

Still, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., posted on X on Tuesday night that Powell’s firing was ‘imminent,’ something that prompted a sell-off in stock futures before Wednesday’s market open. By noon Wednesday, major stock indexes had recovered to trade almost flat on the day.

CBS News first reported the meeting. A Fed official declined comment to CNBC on the report about the Trump meeting Tuesday, which came after Republicans blocked a procedural vote on crypto legislation that the president favors.

Trump and other White House figures have launched a multipronged attack on Powell to push the central bank to lower its key borrowing rate. Most recently, they have blasted Powell over renovations to the Fed’s Washington headquarters, raising suspicion that Trump could try to remove him for cause.

A recent Supreme Court decision indicated that the president does not have the authority to remove Fed officials at will.

In a CNBC interview Wednesday, Rep. French Hill, R-Ark., the chair of the House Financial Services Committee, repeated that “I don’t see” Trump firing Powell. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also told Bloomberg News on Tuesday that he didn’t expect Trump to move in that direction.

However, Luna, who on Tuesday joined with other party members in blocking the crypto initiative, said on X that a move against Powell is forthcoming.

“Hearing Jerome Powell is getting fired! From a very serious source,” she said, later adding, “I’m 99% sure firing is imminent.”

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Wednesday (July 16) as of 9:00 p.m. UTC.

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

Bitcoin and Ethereum price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$119,299, up by 2.4 percent in the last 24 hours. The day’s range for the cryptocurrency brought a low of US$118,433 and a high of US$119,676.

Bitcoin price performance, July 16, 2025.

Chart via TradingView

Institutional demand also fueled the rally, as Bitcoin spot ETFs continued to attract significant capital, marking sustained interest from both large and retail investors alike.

21Shares strategist Matt Mena says Bitcoin is unlikely to see a prolonged pullback thanks to surging demand and historically low supply, as spot ETFs have absorbed more BTC than will be mined this year, while exchange and OTC balances are at all-time lows. Despite seasonal weakness, Bitcoin is setting new highs during the most illiquid part of the year, signaling strong momentum. Short-term corrections are possible, but the broader outlook remains bullish.

The ETH/BTC ratio has also hit a four-month high of 0.0267 BTC, breaking out of a bull flag pattern and supported by its 200-day EMA.

Today’s crypto news to know

US lawmakers advance crypto legislation

In a 215-211 vote, the US House of Representatives passed a resolution to move three crypto bills towards a full floor vote. This development occurred after an earlier vote on Tuesday was delayed due to lawmaker concerns about the GENIUS Act and its lack of CBDC provisions.

Regarding this, Przemysław Kral, CEO of zondacrypto, stated in an email, “‘People deserve to know if their government plans to track how they spend their money. Even if you support digital currencies, this debate needs to happen.’”

House Republican leaders later passed resolutions on the crypto bills after a record-long procedural vote, ending a nine-hour stalemate with a 217-212 vote late Wednesday. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise stated that Republicans will now add a CBDC ban to the must-pass National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).This legislative progress is anticipated to foster greater confidence and participation among investors. The push for clarity extends to specific areas, with Rep. Max Miller announcing during an earlier House Ways and Means subcommittee hearing today that he would soon introduce draft legislation to clarify the taxation of staking and rules for digital asset contributions to charities, retirement plans, and loan.

Miller emphasized the need for a tax code that ‘keeps up with innovation’ and provides ‘long overdue clarity for consumers, innovators and investors alike.’

He noted that ‘The CLARITY and GENIUS Acts have the potential to electrify the US digital assets industry, driving the sort of investment that will supercharge demand for workers with crypto proficiency, similar to what we are currently seeing with AI.’

Palomera also suggested it could ‘tempt greater numbers of top-tier traditional finance and tech talent to enter the Web3 space.’ However, he cautioned that overly burdensome regulations resulting from this process could lead to a ‘brain drain of US talent’ to other jurisdictions.

Liquid Collective expands with Solana staking token

Liquid Collective has expanded its offerings by introducing Liquid Staked SOL (LsSOL), a new liquid staking token on the Solana blockchain. This strategic move builds upon their established success within the Ethereum ecosystem, where their Liquid Staked ETH (LsETH) has already achieved substantial traction, boasting over US$1 billion in total value locked.

The launch of LsSOL is supported by a robust consortium of prominent industry players, including Coinbase, Kraken, Galaxy, Anchorage Digital and Fireblocks. These partnerships are crucial for facilitating broad institutional access to LsSOL, ensuring that a diverse range of professional investors can seamlessly participate in Solana’s staking opportunities while maintaining liquidity.

The collaborative efforts with key industry participants are expected to drive significant adoption and further solidify Liquid Collective’s position as a leading provider of liquid staking infrastructure.

Bitlayer launches smart contract bridge BitVM on Mainnet

Bitlayer, a Bitcoin decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure startup backed by Franklin Templeton, launched its smart contract bridge, called BitVM, on the mainnet. The bridge enables users to deposit Bitcoin into a smart contract, where it is held in escrow and converted into Peg-BTC (YBTC), a tokenized version of Bitcoin that can interact with smart contract platforms.

The company describes the bridge as a trust-minimized bridging solution for Bitcoin holders. According to Bitlayer, Peg-BTC is designed to facilitate programmability and cross-chain compatibility. The company has already secured partnerships to integrate the bridge with networks including Sui, Base, and Arbitrum.

Taproot, a Bitcoin upgrade activated in 2021, enhances Bitcoin’s scripting capabilities and privacy, which is crucial for BitVM as it allows for more complex, off-chain computations and multi-party interactions to be anchored and verified on the Bitcoin blockchain more efficiently and privately.

Tether’s acquires US$600 million farmland in Stablecoin push

Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, has acquired 70 percent of Adecoagro, a major South American agricultural producer, for around US$600 million.

Reuters reported that the move represents a new strategy to connect stablecoin payments with physical commodities like rice, sugar, and ethanol. Tether aims to embed its dollar-pegged digital currency into global trade flows, allowing cross-border payments to settle in seconds instead of days and at significantly lower costs.

The company believes controlling hard assets can provide inflation-resistant revenue and bolster confidence in USDT’s reserve backing. Adecoagro operates across Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil, producing food and energy-related commodities critical to trade in the region.

Tether’s broader plan appears to be building a vertically integrated ecosystem where crypto finance and traditional supply chains converge. With US$149 billion in reserves and US$143 billion in USDT in circulation, the company is using its financial heft to push deeper into real-world infrastructure.

Executives say the long-term goal is for USDT to become a settlement layer in markets traditionally dominated by fiat and slow payment rails.

Citigroup CEO says bank exploring launch of its own Stablecoin

Citigroup is weighing the launch of a proprietary stablecoin as part of its broader push into blockchain infrastructure, CEO Jane Fraser confirmed during the bank’s Q2 2025 earnings call.

While tokenized deposits remain the bank’s immediate priority, Fraser said a Citi-backed digital dollar could play a key role in future client solutions for cross-border transactions. The bank’s digital asset strategy centers on four pillars: tokenized fiat deposits, reserve management for stablecoins, custodial services for digital assets, and fiat-to-crypto on- and off-ramps.

Citi’s interest comes amid broader momentum for stablecoins in 2025, with the market expected to reach US$3.7 trillion by 2030 according to internal projections.

Fraser emphasized that these innovations aim to modernize banking infrastructure and serve client demand for 24/7, multi-currency, compliant payment systems. The potential Citi stablecoin would likely be dollar-pegged and integrated into corporate treasury services.

Citi joins a list of traditional finance heavyweights, even rival and formerly crypto skeptic JPMorgan, now exploring blockchain-based products as regulation for stablecoins gains clarity.

Polymarket cleared by DOJ and CFTC after years of scrutiny

Federal authorities have ended their investigations into Polymarket, a blockchain-based prediction market platform, effectively closing a multi-year regulatory saga.

The US Department of Justice and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) notified the company this week that it will face no further enforcement actions. This follows a dramatic period in late 2024 when FBI agents raided the Manhattan penthouse of Polymarket’s CEO, Shayne Coplan, seizing devices amid suspicions of continued US user access.

The company had previously settled with the CFTC in 2022 for US$1.4 million after being accused of offering unregistered event-based options.

Despite the settlement, regulators remained concerned Polymarket had violated terms by still allowing US residents to place bets.

The closure of the case comes amid shifting regulatory winds, as the White House advances more structured digital asset legislation under President Trump’s administration.

Relatively healthy earnings reports from the big banks and a June inflation report that came in line with analyst expectations didn’t give the stock market much of a lift, as the S&P 500 ($SPX) and Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) both ended the day lower. The only major index to shine was the Nasdaq Composite ($COMPQ), which closed at a record high.

Technology stocks were the stars of the show. It wasn’t a blowout rally, but the sector still managed to finish in the green. Why? There were a couple of key developments that gave tech a nice boost.

First, semiconductors got some breathing room. Restrictions on chip sales to China were relaxed, and that gave big names like NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) a reason to rally. 

Second, there’s a push from the government to invest in AI and energy initiatives in Pennsylvania. One of the biggest winners was Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), which jumped 6.9% — the biggest percentage gain in the S&P 500. You can see from the StockCharts MarketCarpet for the S&P 500 stocks that, besides the top-weighted stocks in the index, it was mostly a sea of red.

Semiconductors Show Strength

If you’ve been watching semiconductors, you may have noticed that the SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF (XSD) has been on a roll. Since April, the ETF has stayed above its 20-day exponential moving average (EMA). The relative performance of XSD against the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) has been improving, and its relative strength index (RSI) is at around 62, an indication that momentum is at healthy levels (see chart below). It’s important to note that since May, the RSI has remained above 50, which is supportive of XSD’s upside movement.

Note: StockCharts members can access this chart from the Market Summary page or the Market Summary ChartPack (under US Industries > Bellwether Industries).

How to Track Semiconductor Stocks

If the environment for semiconductors remains strong, there could be more upside for stocks in that space. A simple way to keep tabs on the stocks using StockCharts tools is to create a ChartList of semiconductor stocks you’re interested in owning.

  • Begin by heading to the US Sectors panel in the Market Summary page or the Sector Summary page on your Dashboard.
  • Click Sector Drill-Down > Technology Sector Fund > Semiconductors.
  • You’ll see the list of semiconductor stocks that make up the industry group.

From there, I prefer to sort the data by the Universe (U) column, starting with the large caps and then the StockCharts Technical Rank (SCTR) score to find large-cap technically strong stocks. You can then view the charts on the list. If you see a chart that appears to have a favorable risk-to-reward ratio, you can save it to your Semiconductor ChartList.

FIGURE 3. SEMICONDUCTOR STOCKS TO REVIEW. The sector drill-down will uncover stocks in leading sectors or industry groups. Scroll down the list to identify charts that meet your investment or trading criteria. Image source: StockCharts.com. For educational purposes.

As you review the charts in your ChartList, you can identify potential support and resistance levels and set alerts to notify you when prices reach your key levels. It’s a great way to stay proactive.

The Bottom Line

This type of top-down analysis helps you stay one step ahead of the market. Start with the broad market, then narrow down to sectors, then industry groups, and then individual stocks. By taking a proactive approach to managing your investments, you’re always preparing for the stock market’s next move.
