Canadian Securities Exchange Approves Gold Runner Exploration’s Option to Acquire the Golden Girl Property from the B-ALL Syndicate in British Columbia’s Prolific Golden Triangle

Investing 7 Mins Read

Gold Runner Exploration Inc. (CSE: GRUN) (FSE: CE70) (‘Gold Runner’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that the Canadian Securities Exchange has approved Gold Runner’s Option Agreement, dated January 21, 2026 as amended January 26, 2026, with the B-ALL Syndicate Ltd. (‘B-All’ or the ‘Optionor’) to acquire a 100% interest in the Golden Girl Property (‘Golden Girl Property’, ‘Golden Girl’ or ‘Property), from the B-ALL Syndicate, the same team that generated and staked Goliath Resources (TSXV: GOT) Surebet Discovery and contributed to advancing that discovery to where it is today. The B-ALL Syndicate also generated and staked the Big One discovery that was subsequently optioned to Juggernaut Exploration (TSXV: JUGR,OTC:JUGRF) and is situated adjacent to Galore Creek. Golden Girl is located approximately mid-way between Goliath’s Surebet Discovery and Juggernaut’s Big One discovery.

As described in the Company’s news release dated January 23, 2026, the Golden Girl property covers an area of 8,471 hectares (ha) in the Iskut River region of Northwestern British Columbia, just 17 kilometers from the Snip Mine and 14 kilometers from the Bronson Airstrip. Exploration conducted by B-ALL on the Golden Girl property identified a large new gold-silver system measuring 12 km by 7 km. The system features a gold-rich core surrounded by a silver-rich halo. Highlights from the 2024 exploration program include grab samples assaying up to 11.28 g/t Au, 3,262 g/t Ag, 5.37% Cu, 20% Pb, and 14.15% Zn, and channel cuts assaying up to 3.74 g/t Au, 2105.45 g/t Ag, 0.88% Cu, 5.48% Pb, and 7.42% Zn.

The nearby, past-producing Snip Gold Mine, historically produced approximately 1 million ounces of gold, 390,000 ounces of silver, and 249,276 kilograms of copper (at an average 127.5 grams per ton gold over 8 years). Eskay Creek, which lies approximately 60 km east of Golden Girl, produced approximately 3.3 million ounces of gold and 160,000 ounces of silver between 1994 and 2008 (with an estimated 3.3 million ounces of gold, 88 million ounces of silver in reserves). It should be noted that Eskay Creek Mine has recently been permitted to re-commence mining operations – see Skeena Resources Ltd. news releases dated January 28, 2026, and February 3, 2026. The reader is reminded that the information provided herein from neighbouring projects and properties is not necessarily indicative of resources and should not be relied upon for the determination of mineralization or potential results of the Company’s properties.

High-grade mineralization at Golden Girl occurs in structurally controlled shear zones within sulphide-rich veins, stockwork, and breccias, similar to the nearby Snip Gold Mine. Hydrothermal fluids took advantage of pre-existing structures to deposit gold-silver-rich mineralization as well as sulphides such as chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite associated with quartz-carbonate-rich veins. Pervasive alteration associated with fluid infiltration is often observed surrounding the zones of strong gold-silver mineralization assaying up to 11.28 g/t Au, 3,262 g/t Ag, 5.37% Cu, 20% Pb, and 14.15% Zn and channel cuts assaying up to 3.74 g/t Au, 2105.45 g/t Ag, 0.88% Cu, 5.48% Pb and 7.42% Zn.

More than 95% of the Golden Girl property remains unexplored. Rapid glacial retreat and snowpack abatement over the last 35 years have revealed vast areas of new outcrop that have never seen historical surface exploration. Gold Runner has begun planning and scheduling of prospecting, sampling, and mapping, as well as detailed geophysical surveys over the property during the current exploration season in preparation for the inaugural drill program.

Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, the Company has paid the initial option fee of $250,000. And the Company has also issued to the members of the B-ALL Syndicate, an aggregate of 1,830,000 common shares at a price of $1.13 per common share plus 1,830,000 common share purchase warrants exercisable within 5 years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $1.14 per common share. The securities issued hereunder are subject to the requisite four-month and one-day hold period from the date of issuance. The parties to the Option Agreement are arm’s length.

Chris Wensley, CEO of Gold Runner, states, ‘We are now fully funded to undertake and complete the 2026 exploration program on Golden Girl. Preparations are already underway to begin expanding on the excellent work done by the B-ALL Syndicate team, who generated Golden Girl. We are on schedule to commence this vital and much-anticipated field work by July 2026 and define our maiden drill program for the following season. This is a tremendously exciting time for the Company and our team. We look forward to executing and delivering on our plan and bringing notable results to our shareholders.’

On Behalf of the Board of Directors,

‘Chris Wensley’

Brazil, India Ink Rare Earths Pact to Expand Supply Chain Cooperation

Investing 2 Mins Read

Brazil and India have signed a new agreement to deepen cooperation on rare earths and critical minerals, as both countries seek to strengthen supply chains and reduce reliance on trading partners.

The non-binding memorandum of understanding, sealed Saturday (February 21) during Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s state visit to India, establishes a framework for collaboration on reciprocal investment, exploration, and mining.

“Increasing investments and cooperation in matters of renewable energy and critical minerals is at the core of a pioneering agreement that we have signed today,” Lula told journalists.

Rare earth elements are essential inputs for a range of advanced technologies, including smartphones, electric vehicles, solar panels and jet engines. Brazil holds the world’s second-largest reserves of rare earth minerals, giving it strategic importance as governments look to diversify supply chains.

Despite this, China still maintains roughly 70 percent of global rare earth mining and an even stronger position in processing. Countries across the Global South and industrialized economies alike have stepped up efforts to secure alternative sources of supply.

India, like Brazil, is a founding member of the expanded BRICS+ bloc of developing nations, and both governments have emphasized the need to build stronger South-South partnerships.

Brazil’s push to elevate rare earths in its diplomatic agenda gained momentum last year amid tensions with the US. Last year, US President Donald Trump imposed a 50 percent tariff on Brazilian exports in connection with the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro, an ally of Trump.

The US later removed most of the tariffs and lifted sanctions imposed on the judge overseeing the case.

The Brazil-India accord also continues an ongoing global scramble for critical minerals.

Since last year, the US has signed agreements with Japan and Australia aimed at securing supplies of rare earths, lithium, cobalt, and nickel, with an emphasis on building processing capacity outside China.

For Brazil, the deal with India could serve as a testing ground ahead of potential negotiations with larger powers. Lula is expected to visit Washington in the coming months.

Editor’s Picks: Gold, Silver End Week Higher, Experts Share Next Price Targets

Investing 5 Mins Read

Gold and silver prices experienced declines early in the week, but ended higher.

The yellow metal closed the week at US$5,111.88 per ounce, while silver finished at US$84.65 per ounce, buoyed by reignited tariff uncertainty out of the US.

On Friday (February 20), the US Supreme Court stuck down tariffs put in place by President Donald Trump using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. He quickly responded by announcing a new 10 percent global tariff and then increasing it to 15 percent, ramping up trade tensions.

Earlier in the week, Wednesday (February 18) brought the release of the US Federal Reserve’s latest meeting minutes, which show that although officials largely agreed with the January decision to hold interest rates steady, they aren’t aligned about the path forward as 2026 continues.

What’s received more attention is the Lunar New Year holiday.

Most Asian markets are closed for the occasion, and will reopen next week. I asked Ole Hansen of Saxo Bank about the significance of the closure, and he said that in his view, the more important question is what will happen when they’re back in business next week.

Here’s how he thinks that could play out:

‘I think … if they come back to more or less unchanged prices, they will see that probably as a buying opportunity. Simply — well, they probably hope that they might be able to pick it up cheaper in the absence. But if we can manage to hold these levels, then there could be a positive story building as we as we see China reopen.’

Hansen is bullish on gold this year, saying he sees it reaching US$6,000 in the next 12 months.

But interestingly, he has a different take on silver — he thinks the white metal’s upside could be limited by demand-side factors like substitution and higher supply from scrap material.

‘Gold over time can go to US$10,000, it can go to US$20,000 — it’s a monetary metal, which doesn’t really depend on demand from areas where demand could be negatively impacted with the price.

‘Silver hasn’t got that luxury. And that basically means if gold moves towards US$6,000, I would believe that — I would think that silver, at some point, will struggle to keep up, and we will see basically gold relatively outperform silver. But when that point, when that time comes, I can’t see. Again it’s very unclear, especially given the speculative demand, which can carry on for a while longer.’

I also heard this week from Christopher Aaron of iGold Advisor and Elite Private Placements, who has a much brighter outlook for silver — he said given that the metal has just broken out of a 45 year consolidation period, it still has much further to go:

‘Now that whole process, the 45 year consolidation breakout and now coming back, that is — for a number of people here — that is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime breakout. We’re talking a multi-generational breakout happening in silver right now. And it’s really important to — I mean, the bottom line is this: After 45 years of consolidation, a market doesn’t end just two months after a breakout and then kind of withering and petering out for the next 45 years. Again, that’s not how 45 year breakouts happen when we look back.’

Ultimately Aaron sees US$250 to US$350 as a reasonable price level for silver.

Bullet briefing — TSX Venture 50, BHP/Wheaton deal

Gold, silver dominate TSX Venture 50

The latest TSX Venture 50 list was released on Wednesday, with gold and silver juniors dominating. In fact, of the companies included, only three fall outside the mining sector.

The list ranks TSXV companies’ annual performance by market cap growth, share price performance and Canadian consolidated trading value. Taking the top spot was Santacruz Silver Mining (TSXV:SCZ,NASDAQ:SCZM), which had an impressive share price increase of over 1,100 percent.

As a group, the companies on the list delivered a share price increase of 431 percent.

We’ll have to wait and see whether these types of gains are repeated — or exceeded — in 2026, but the list definitely underscores the strength in gold and silver prices, and shows that their momentum is boosting not just the majors, but also the juniors.

BHP, Wheaton sign streaming deal

On the M&A side, BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) has entered into a long-term streaming agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals (TSX:WPM,NYSE:WPM).

Under the deal, which was signed by subsidiaries of BHP and Wheaton, BHP will receive an upfront payment of US$4.3 billion in exchange for the delivery of silver from the Peru-based Antamina mine, plus ongoing payments when metal is delivered. According to BHP, this is the most valuable streaming transaction to date based on upfront consideration received.

Antamina is a joint venture between commodities giants BHP, Glencore (LSE:GLEN,OTCPL:GLCNF), Teck Resources (TSX:TECK.A,TECK.B,NYSE:TECK) and Mitsubishi (TSE:8058,OTCPL:MSBHF), and Wheaton already has a silver stream in place with Glencore. Once the BHP arrangement closes, Wheaton will receive a combined 67.5 percent of the mine’s silver.

Today’s crypto news to know

Trump tariff reset rattles crypto as Bitcoin breaks US$65,000

Bitcoin slid below US$65,000 early Monday after President Donald Trump said he would lift the US global tariff rate to 15 percent.

The increase replaces earlier “Liberation Day” duties that the US Supreme Court ruled illegal on February 20. The administration is now invoking Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, which allows tariffs for up to 150 days unless Congress extends them, injecting fresh uncertainty into trade policy.

Bitcoin fell as much as 4.6 percent in under two hours during Asian trading, dropping from about US$67,600 to near US$64,400 before paring losses, with more than US$470 million in leveraged positions wiped out across crypto markets.

Over a 24-hour stretch, total liquidations topped US$500 million, according to CoinGlass. Ethereum dropped more than 4 percent, XRP fell over 3 percent, and crypto-linked equities including Robinhood and Strategy traded lower in premarket action.

Open-source AI project distances itself from crypto

An open-source AI agent framework known as OpenClaw has inadvertently become the center of a crypto controversy.

The project, built to power autonomous agents capable of browsing the web and executing complex tasks, was briefly rebranded amid a naming dispute before scammers launched a fake Solana-based token using its former branding.

The token’s market capitalization surged to roughly US$16 million within hours before collapsing more than 90 percent after developer Peter Steinberger disavowed any connection.

Steinberger publicly rejected the speculation, writing on X: “To all crypto folks: please stop pinging me, stop harassing me. I will never do a coin. Any project that lists me as coin owner is a SCAM.”

USDT contraction flashes rare stress signal

Tether’s USDT stablecoin is signaling liquidity strain reminiscent of the market turmoil following the FTX collapse.

According to CryptoQuant, the 60-day change in USDT supply has dropped to negative US$3 billion, which marks only the second time such a contraction has occurred. Bloomberg reported that USDT is on pace for its steepest monthly supply decline since December 2022, already shrinking by roughly US$1.5 billion in February alone.

Large-scale redemptions typically suggest institutions or major holders are pulling capital out of the crypto ecosystem rather than simply rotating between tokens.

The last comparable contraction came as Bitcoin fell toward $16,000 during the FTX crisis, before stabilizing and beginning a multi-year recovery.

L.A. County sues Roblox, alleges platform makes it easy for adults to target children

Editor's pick 4 Mins Read

Los Angeles County filed a civil lawsuit against Roblox, alleging that the platform markets itself as a gaming experience for children but has created a ‘largely unsupervised online world’ that allows adults to mingle with minors with very little oversight.

The lawsuit says that Roblox’s architecture makes it easy for adults to masquerade as children in order to target them.

‘Beneath the bright animation and cheerful branding lies an environment in which child predators can readily locate, contact, and interact with minors through Roblox-enabled features and defaults, and where age-inappropriate sexual content and sexually themed interactions and experiences can be assessed and disseminated through Roblox’s functionality and tools, leaving minors to navigate dangers they do not and cannot understand,’ the lawsuit says.

The suit was filed on Thursday and asks that Roblox be ordered to pay a civil penalty of up to $2,500 for each violation of the Unfair Competition and False Advertising laws. It also asks that Roblox cover the county’s legal fees.

Roblox said in a statement that it disputes the county’s claims ‘and will defend against it vigorously.’

‘Roblox is built with safety at its core, and we continue to evolve and strengthen our protections every day,’ a company spokesperson said. ‘We have advanced safeguards that monitor our platform for harmful content and communications, and users cannot send or receive images via chat, avoiding one of the most prevalent opportunities for misuse seen elsewhere online.’

The company said safety remains a top priority and takes ‘swift action against anyone found to violate our safety rules.’

The lawsuit, however, accuses Roblox of failing to implement safety measures, including age verification, default communications restrictions and effective reporting mechanisms.

‘These fixes are obvious, easy, and long overdue,’ it says.

The county said in its suit that it has had to ‘expend, divert and increase resources to address rising rates of child sexual exploitation, trafficking, abuse and mental health trauma.’

‘By taking actions that increase the costs of law enforcement, child protective services, victim services, mental health counseling, and other public services, Roblox has diverted taxpayer dollars away from other critical public programs and services,’ the suit alleges.

Roblox said in its statement that as of January, it requires all users to undergo a facial age check to use the chat feature, and that chat users are placed into age groups.

Parents are given control over whether their child can access the chat feature, can block specific users and games, and can set screen time limits. The company also said it does not allow users to send images or videos via chat.

‘There is no finish line when it comes to protecting kids, and while no system can be perfect, our commitment to safety never ends,’ Roblox said.

Since its launch in 2006, Roblox has grown to become a massive global success. It has 144.5 million daily active users with over 35 billion engagement hours, its website states.

According to its most recent shareholder letter for Quarter 4, revenue grew 36% year-over-year to $4.9 billion and generated $1.8. billion in operating cash flow in fiscal 2025.

This was due to the addition of about 60 million daily active users from Quarter 4 of 2024 to Quarter 4 of 2025, the letter says.

Over the years, the gaming platform has been at the center of several lawsuits, including one filed last year where a California woman alleged that her teenage son was groomed and coerced to send explicit images on Roblox and Discord. The suit was filed after the boy took his own life in April 2024.

Attorneys for the mother said the boy was targeted by “an adult sex predator” who posed as a child on Roblox. The lawsuit alleged that the conversation between the boy and the man escalated to include “sexual topics and explicit exchanges.” The man eventually encouraged the boy to move the conversation to Discord, demanded that the boy share explicit videos and images, and then threatened to post them, the lawsuit alleged.

Both companies said at the time that it does not comment on legal matters. The case is still pending.

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill also sued the platform last year, alleging that it was “the perfect place for pedophiles” due to its failure to implement strong safety protocols. Roblox denied her claims and said it was committed to working with the prosecutor’s office to keep children safe.

Tech Weekly: Stocks Rally After SCOTUS Ruling on Trump’s Tariffs

Investing 4 Mins Read

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

    The US market kicked off the holiday‑shortened week with many tech stocks opening lower after Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) unveiled its new AI model, Qwen 3.5, on Monday (February 16), amplifying concerns about risks from the Chinese market. Major indices closed little changed after a day of subdued trading.

    This caution, she added, is compounded by uncertainty in the broader macro backdrop, driving down stocks in AI‑exposed sectors. She concluded that this process reflects a maturing market, predicting that in 2026, capital will concentrate around firms with clear, monetizable AI strategies.

    Futures gained ground on Wednesday morning (February 17) ahead of the release of the FOMC minutes from its latest meeting, which highlighted a divide: some participants favored another rate hike if inflation remains above target, directly contradicting market expectations of additional cuts amid forecasts of economic weakness.

    Also on Wednesday, Federal Reserve Governor Michael Barr outlined three potential scenarios for how AI could impact the labor market during a speech at the New York Association for Business Economics.

    The first, and currently favored, scenario is gradual adoption, where slow AI integration minimizes job loss and any brief skill mismatch is addressed through training. The second scenario is rapid advancement, where AI outpaces the labor market, potentially rendering many people “unemployable.” In this case, fast‑moving AI startups could displace older firms, triggering mass unemployment and requiring a complete overhaul of the social safety net to share productivity gains.

    The third possibility suggests that electricity or capital shortages will limit AI’s full potential, making it an indispensable tool but not a truly revolutionary force. Barr concluded that the degree of disruption will ultimately depend on societal investment in creating new jobs, training workers, and implementing mitigation strategies.

    Stocks rallied midday but pulled back in a late‑session softening tied in part to the release of the FOMC minutes. A volatile session in tech saw the Nasdaq Composite (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) pare earlier strength, finishing up 0.8 percent.

    On Thursday (February 19), the market retraced the mid‑week bounce, with the Nasdaq closing down 0.3 percent.

    Friday’s PCE report suggested inflation could be reigniting, keeping rate‑sensitive equities range‑bound in early trading, but the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down US President Trump’s global tariffs caused a rally in Wall Street’s heavyweights in the afternoon.

    3 tech stocks moving markets this week

    1. Shopify (NYSE:SHOP)

    2. DoorDash (NASDAQ:DASH)

                                  Gold and Silver Stocks Dominate TSX Venture 50 List

                                  Investing 5 Mins Read

                                  This year’s TSX Venture 50 list represents a major shift in investor sentiment, particularly to gold and silver.

                                  The TSX Venture 50 ranks the top 50 companies on the TSX Venture Exchange based on annual performance using three criteria: one year share price appreciation, market cap growth and Canadian consolidated trading value.

                                  This year’s list includes 51 companies due to a tie based on the ranking system.

                                  Together, the 51 companies have an average share price appreciation of 431 percent — that’s compared to just 207 percent achieved by last year’s group. These companies successfully raised C$1.5 billion in new capital.

                                  Market value growth was an impressive 775 percent for C$17.9 billion in market cap creation.

                                  That market value growth is not only more than double the 333 percent averaged in 2025, but also represents the largest annual gain since the TSX Venture 50 list began in 2006.

                                  The unprecedented performance of the TSX Venture 50 companies, even in the face of mounting global economic uncertainty, is a clear indication that investor confidence in Canadian capital markets remains solid.

                                  “The Venture 50 list this year really does reflect the global interest in mining and this entrance into a commodity super cycle,’ said Robert Peterman, chief commercial officer at TSX & Global Capital Formation.

                                  Overall the list’s composition highlights how historic 2025 was for junior miners. Compared to last year’s list, which included only 10 mining companies, this year’s list is made up of 48 mining companies, the vast majority of which are gold and silver juniors. With an average share price increase of 443 percent in 2025, they have a total market cap value of C$19.9 billion.

                                  1. Prospector Metals (TSXV:PPP)

B2Gold (TSX:BTO,NYSEAMERICAN:BTG) is a strategic partner in the project and holds a 19.9 percent equity stake in Prospector Metals.

                                  Prospector’s exploration work at ML in 2025 led to the discovery of the new TESS gold-copper zone in October. High-grade and near surface intercepts included 288 g/t over 1 meter within 21.93 g/t over 24.65 meters.

                                  Keep an eye out for more drill results coming from Prospector as the company has more than C$40 million in working capital and plans to kick off a 25,000 meters program in 2026.

                                  2. Santacruz Silver (TSXV:SCZ)

The company attributed the decline to a major flooding event at Bolivar in May which led to a temporary shutdown of mining activities in certain areas. However, its silver production has consistently improved in the last two quarters of the year.

                                  For 2026, Santacruz is working toward improving operational efficiencies and recovery rates at its operations in order to increase production.

                                  3. Goldgroup Mining (TSXV:GGA)

                                  Share price appreciation: 875 percent
                                  Market cap growth: 2,711 percent

                                  Through a definitive merger agreement with Gold Resource (NYSE:GORO), Goldgroup will soon add the producing Don David gold mine in Oaxaca to its portfolio. The deal is expected to close in Q2 2026.

                                  4. Golconda Gold (TSXV:GG)

                                  Share price appreciation: 700 percent
