LaFleur Minerals

Investing 8 Mins Read

Investor Insight

LaFleur Minerals is advancing a district-scale gold platform anchored by a defined resource base and a fully permitted processing facility in Québec’s Abitibi region. With ongoing mill restart activities and a targeted gold pour on the horizon, the company offers investors exposure to both near-term production potential and meaningful exploration upside.

Overview

LaFleur Minerals (CSE:LFLR,OTCQB:LFLRF) is a growth-oriented gold exploration and development company focused on building a scalable mining platform within Québec’s Abitibi region, a belt that has produced more than 190 million ounces of gold historically. The company’s strategy is centered on advancing its flagship Swanson deposit while leveraging existing infrastructure to accelerate timelines to production.

A key differentiator is LaFleur’s vertically integrated model: combining resource expansion with ownership of a permitted processing facility. This approach reduces development risk, lowers capital intensity, and positions the company to monetize discoveries faster than traditional single-asset explorers.

With a market valuation that management believes does not yet reflect the combined value of its resource base, infrastructure and exploration pipeline, LaFleur offers exposure to both near-term catalysts and long-term district-scale discovery potential.

Company Highlights

  • District-Scale Land Position: Controls ~183 sq km of claims near Val‑d’Or in Québec, one of the world’s most prolific gold jurisdictions.
  • Flagship Resource Asset: Swanson Gold Project hosts NI 43-101 resources of 123,400 oz indicated and 64,500 oz inferred with expansion potential.
  • Strategic Infrastructure Ownership: Owns the fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill with 750 tpd capacity and low restart cost.
  • Growth-Focused Exploration: 5,000 m drill program underway targeting resource growth to >1 Moz.
  • Proven Asset Consolidation: Claims assembled from prior operators including Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines and Globex.
  • Tier-1 Jurisdiction: Québec ranks among the world’s top mining investment regions according to the Fraser Institute.
  • Experienced Leadership: Led by CEO Paul Ténière, a geologist with extensive development and technical reporting expertise.

Key Projects

Swanson Gold Project – Flagship Asset

The Swanson project forms the cornerstone of LaFleur’s growth strategy. Spanning more than 18,300 hectares, the property hosts multiple deposits and mineralized trends along favorable regional structures and deformation corridors. Historic drilling exceeding 36,000 meters demonstrates strong geological continuity and supports expansion potential across the broader land package.

Located approximately 66 km north of Val-d’Or with road and rail access, Swanson sits in close proximity to established operators such as Agnico Eagle and Eldorado, as well as developers including Probe Gold and O3 Mining. Ongoing geophysics, soil geochemistry and drilling continue to identify new targets, reinforcing the project’s potential to evolve into a large-scale gold system.

Project Highlights:

  • Spans +18,300 hectares (183 sq km) and rich in gold and critical metals, hosts the Swanson, Bartec and Jolin gold deposits
  • Previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines and Globex
  • Accessible by road/rail, 66 km north of Val-d’Or on the Southend Abitibi gold belt, close proximity to established producers such as Agnico Eagle and Eldorado, as well as developers like Probe Gold and O3 Mining, with direct access to several nearby gold mills
  • Mineral resource estimate reinforces status as flagship project:
    • Indicated mineral resource estimate of 2,113,000 t with average grade of 1.8 g/t gold, containing 123,400 oz of gold.
    • Inferred mineral resource estimate of 872,000 t with average grade of 2.3 g/t gold, containing 64,500 oz of gold
    • The project’s current MRE was optimized with a price of gold at US$1,850/oz, current gold market price has hit above US$3,000/oz
  • $3 million in flow-through to deploy with immediate plans to increase gold resources through diamond drilling at Swanson, Bartec, Jolin, and other gold deposits
  • Other key developments include a decline portal and ramp extending to a depth of 80 metres; well positioned for advanced exploration with over $5 million invested by the previous owner between 2021 and 2023
  • Since acquiring the Swanson deposit and consolidating the large claims package, the company has deployed in excess of $1 million in flow-through funds, completed detailed soil geochemistry and prospecting across several gold targets, completed a very-high resolution airborne magnetic and VLF-EM geophysical survey, and is currently in the process of completing a ground IP survey over the Swanson, Jolin, and Bartec gold deposits
  • Several new promising gold targets have been identified from the recent surface exploration and geophysics programs, highlighting the potential for mineral resource growth and new discoveries at Swanson

With advanced assets and infrastructure in place, LaFleur Minerals is well-positioned as a leading gold development company in Québec.

Beacon Gold Mill – Near-term Production

The Beacon Gold Mill is a strategically located processing facility less than 50 km from Swanson and represents a rare asset for a junior developer: a fully permitted plant capable of near-term restart. The 750-tpd mill underwent approximately $20 million in upgrades and refurbishment, placing it in excellent operational condition and substantially reducing restart timelines.

An independent valuation by Bumigeme estimated rehabilitation costs at about C$4.1 million and a replacement value exceeding C$71.5 million, underscoring its strategic importance. Beyond processing Swanson material, the mill also offers potential toll-milling revenue from regional deposits, providing LaFleur with multiple pathways to cash flow as it transitions toward producer status.

Project Highlights:

  • Capable of custom milling operations for other nearby gold projects
  • Currently being evaluated for processing mineralized material from Swanson as part of a high-level preliminary mining and economic study
  • Past-producing Beacon Mine is located on the site of the Beacon Mill: the property consists of a mining lease, a mining concession, and 11 mining claims
  • Beacon I and II mines include mineralized zones where limited historical gold production was achieved during the period of 1984 to 1988 and again in 2005
  • The advancement of operations at the Beacon Mill has transformational qualities for the company, evolving it from explorer to a near-term gold producer in a Tier 1 jurisdiction with significant upside potential

Brunswick Exploration Identifies Seven New Spodumene Targets and Stakes Additional Claims at Anatacau Main

Investing 5 Mins Read

Brunswick Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: BRW, OTCQB: BRWXF; FRANKFURT:1XQ; ‘BRW’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce it has identified three new high priority lithium targets (area A, B and C in Figure 1) at the Anatacau Main Project, where drilling is currently underway, located in the Eeyou-Istchee James Bay region of Quebec. The Project is strategically situated 22 kilometers east and along strike of a major proven lithium-bearing structural corridor also hosting Rio Tinto’s Galaxy Project and Brunswick’s Anatacau West Project.

Mr. Killian Charles, President and CEO of BRW, commented: ‘Anatacau is rapidly proving to be one of the most exciting projects in our portfolio alongside Mirage with the addition of these seven potential spodumene showings within larger packages of highly evolved and favorable pegmatites. These high priority targets were the result of additional compilation work in preparation for the ongoing drill program and highlight the significant exploration potential of the Project. Following the drill program at Anais, Brunswick will commence a major prospecting campaign to rapidly evaluate these new targets once ground conditions permit field activities.’

Figure 1: Anatacau Project Location

Anais Discovery Targets

Between two and five kilometers south of the Anais showing where the Company is currently drilling, three unverified spodumene showings were identified through compilation work. These showings significantly expand the exploration potential surrounding the Anais discovery (area A in Figure 1). Over 200 pegmatite outcrops have been identified through satellite imagery in this area with the largest measuring approximately 500 by 200 meters.

Newly Staked Targets

Contiguous and located immediately west to the Anatacau Main Project, BRW recently completed staking covering an additional three unverified spodumene showings and 150 pegmatite outcrops (area B in Figure 1). The largest identified outcrop measures 800 by 100 meters. It is possible that the potential spodumene showings, alongside the southern most targets in area A, form a new secondary trend to the lithium-bearing structural corridor hosting Rio Tinto’s Galaxy Project and Brunswick’s Anais showing.

Pontax Trend Targets

The Pontax trend is an emerging major NE–SW regional lithium-bearing structural corridor extending over 20 kilometers across the southern portion of the Anatacau Property. Brunswick Exploration has identified over 13 highly fractionated pegmatites with highly favorable K/Rb ratios (below 30 and as low as 14) and mineralogy within the Pontax trend (area C in Figure 1) within over 90 pegmatite outcrops where the largest visible outcrop measures approximately 200 by 50 meters. These high priority targets neighbor one potential spodumene showing controlled by BRW. This corridor continues to the southwest where it hosts Cygnus Metals’ Pontax Lithium Project and Li-FT Power’s Pontax Project.

SAGA Metals Provides Further Update on MRE Drilling Program at Trapper South, Radar Critical Minerals Project in Labrador

Investing 12 Mins Read

Saga Metals Corp. (‘SAGA’ or the ‘Company’) (TSXV: SAGA,OTC:SAGMF) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H), a North American exploration company focused on critical mineral discoveries, is pleased to provide a further operational update on its ongoing 2026 phase of the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (‘MRE’) diamond drill program at the Trapper Zone within the 100%-owned Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron Project near Cartwright, Labrador, Canada.

Drill Program Highlights

  • Completed ten (10) holes (R-0016 to R-0025) with significant oxide intercepts ranging from 46.1 m to 111.67 m, predominantly semi-massive oxide with extensive rhythmic layering.
  • Multiple holes intercepted broad zones of semi-massive oxide up to 87.08 m, confirming increased oxide concentration and thickness in the southeastern anomaly.
  • Quick logs indicate oxide zones from R-0023 through R-0026 are increasing in thickness with a potential average of 100 m in each of the holes.
  • Rhythmic banding and semi-massive to massive oxide mineralization observed consistently, aligning with prior high-grade results from Trapper North.
  • Drilling progressing efficiently, with the eleventh (11) hole (R-0026) nearing completion.
  • The 209 samples from R-0016 and -0017 were received by Impact Global Solutions (IGS) Laboratory in Montreal, Quebec, on February 14, 2026, and assays are expected in about 1 week.
  • 350 samples from R-0018, -0019 and -0020 have been prepared for shipping to IGS at the end of the week.

Further to the Company’s news release dated February 12, 2026, the team has completed ten (10) diamond drill holes with depths ranging from 149 m to 275 m, totalling 2,039 m drilled, targeting the southeastern and southwestern oxide anomalies in Trapper South.

  Total (m) 2,039          

Table 1: Summary of drill holes R-0016 to R-0025, highlighting the oxide intercepts. Logging of R-0024 & -0025 is in progress. See Figure 1 below which depicts the oxide mineralization in a longitudinal section looking SW showcasing holes R-0016, -0018, -0019, -0020 and -0022.

Figure 1: Longitudinal section of drill holes R-0016, -0018, -0019, -0020 and -0022 highlighting about 700 m strike of semi-massive oxides and rhythmic layering with the 3D Magnetic Inversion of the 2025 Trapper Zone ground magnetic survey.

The oxide zones in holes R-0016, -0018, -0019, -0020 and -0022 shown in the longitudinal section ‘CC’ (Figure 1 above) highlights about 700 m strike of continuous semi-massive and rhythmic oxide layering.

Early observations indicate the overall average thickness of the oxide horizons in these drill holes have significantly increased to about 100 m thick in addition to a notable increase in semi-massive oxides compared to previous holes. Current logging data indicate that R-0023 (30.58 m), R-0024 (more than 17.18 m; based on quick logs), and R-0026 (up to 13 m; based on quick logs) have thicker semi-massive oxide zones than R-0015 (4.52m). The attitude of the oxide horizons is consistent from all logged holes, striking SE and dipping west.

Notable intercepts (see Table 1 above) include 111.67 m of oxide in R-0018 (including 65.04 m semi-massive), 107.05 m in R-0023 (including 76.44 m rhythmic layering) 91.26 m in R-0022 (with 59.68 m rhythmic layering) 90.08 m in R-0017 (including 87.08 m semi-massive), 87.2 m in R-0020 (with 58.7 m rhythmic layering), 66.45 m of oxides in R-0019, and 58 m in R-0016. R-0024 and -0025 are currently being logged and are expected to be reported shortly.

These holes continue to demonstrate extensive rhythmic oxide layering and semi-massive mineralization, hallmarks of the high-grade oxide sequences observed across the project. The drill rig has continued along the southwestern oxide anomaly in Trapper South and is active on drill hole R-0026.

Figure 3: Cross section of S7 looking NW showing R-0018, -0024 and -0025 highlighting intercepts of semi massive oxides and layering sequence with the 3D Magnetic Inversion of the 2025 Trapper Zone ground magnetic survey. Logging of R-0024 and -0025 is in progress.

Figure 4: Cross section of S5 looking NW showing R-0020 and -0021 highlighting intercepts of semi massive oxides and layering sequence with the 3D Magnetic Inversion of the 2025 Trapper Zone ground magnetic survey.

Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of Saga Metals, commented: ‘Drilling continues to advance at an outstanding pace, with ten holes now completed totaling over 2,000 meters and oxide mineralization confirmed in every logged interval. The southeastern anomaly at Trapper South is delivering increasingly thick zones—quick logs suggest averages approaching 100 m in the deeper holes R-0023 through R-0026—with notably higher proportions of semi-massive oxide compared to earlier intercepts. This growing consistency in thickness, continuity, and semi-massive character across about 700 m strike reinforces our strong confidence in the scale and quality of the oxide horizons here. Having wrapped up the southeastern targets with R-0022, we’re now focused on the southwestern anomaly, systematically building the dataset needed for our maiden Mineral Resource Estimate while unlocking the full potential of Trapper South.’

With sampling of drill holes R-0018, -0019 and -0020 completed, a total of 350 samples have been prepared and will be shipped to Impact Global Solutions (IGS) Laboratory in Montreal, Quebec at the end of the week. IGS received the 209 samples from R-0016 and -0017 on February 14, 2026, and have confirmed assays are expected within about 1 week. Teams are actively logging and sampling all completed holes, with shipment of additional samples to continue at a pace of approximately every couple of weeks. Assay results from these holes are pending and will be released as they become available. The Company remains on track with its systematic MRE drill program across the Trapper Zone.

Palisades’ Made in America Gold Corp. Closes Acquisition of Undercover Gold, Adding 73km2 Ground Package Just 6km South of Fourmile and Goldrush

Investing 7 Mins Read

Palisades Goldcorp Ltd. (TSXV: PALI) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Palisades’) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Made in America Gold Corp. (‘MIAG’), has successfully completed the acquisition of Undercover Gold Inc. (‘Undercover’), for the South Cortez and South Tonkin properties. Undercover was founded by NewQuest Capital Inc. (‘NewQuest’) which is led by an industry-recognized exploration team that has structured numerous earn-in joint venture deals with major mining companies across a global portfolio of exploration projects. Property details for MIAG’s ten district-scale projects can be found on the new company website, madeinamericagold.com.

The newly acquired properties target classic Carlin-type gold mineralization within the Lower Plate of the Robert’s Mountain thrust, a geological setting synonymous with Nevada’s largest discoveries. While the Cortez district has a long history of production, the South Cortez and South Tonkin blocks remain remarkably under-explored, particularly at depth. Existing technical data, including seismic and aeromagnetic surveys, and historical drilling, indicates that favorable lower-plate host rock stratigraphy resides at accessible depths of less than 400 meters. MIAG is now positioned to leverage an extensive database to test high-priority targets that have seen limited exploration compared to neighboring major-operated land packages.

Justin Daley, CEO of MIAG, stated: ‘The closing of the South Cortez and South Tonkin acquisition marks a transformative milestone for MIAG. By integrating these projects into our portfolio, we are easily the biggest junior company landholder in Nevada, controlling roughly 800 km² of the state’s most productive and prospective gold trends. These projects don’t just add acreage, they represent newly consolidated claim groups just six kilometers south of the Tier 1 Goldrush and Fourmile deposits. With favorable lower-plate geology confirmed at shallow depths and a wealth of historic data already in hand, we are positioned to unlock value in part of a district that has already proven to host 10-million-ounce-plus deposits. Our focus now shifts to integrating data, advancing our own exploration programs, and delineating high-priority targets that have remained under-explored for far too long.’

South Cortez and South Tonkin Projects

MIAG’s acquisition of the South Cortez and South Tonkin mineral properties expands its Battle Mountain–Eureka portfolio by approximately 73 km2, further establishing the entity as the biggest junior mineral claim holder in Nevada. These properties are located along trend with world-class deposits including Pipeline, Cortez Hills, and Goldrush, which have collectively produced or contain over 60 million ounces of gold*. MIAG now controls ~800 km², with each project adjacent to major deposits and mines operated by Nevada Gold Mines, SSR Mining, McEwen Mining and I-80 Gold, (see Figure 1).

 

* ‘Technical Report on the Cortez Complex, Landers and Eureka (NI 43-101)’ – dated 31 December 2021, ‘Nevada Gold Mines Investor Day 2021 — Resources (inclusive of reserves) and reserves summary’, ‘Barrick Annual Report 2024 – Mineral Reserves & Resources, attributable gold reserves of 89 million ounces at 2.71 g/t in North America region’, and ‘Fourmile 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment Summary of Results.’

Transaction Terms

MIAG and Undercover entered into a definitive share purchase agreement pursuant to which MIAG acquired all the outstanding shares of Undercover, subject to customary terms and conditions for a transaction of this nature, including acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange, and other standard closing deliverables set out in the definitive agreement. As consideration, Undercover shareholders received a total of 1,642,710 common share of MIAG, representing 10% equity interest in MIAG upon closing. The transaction closed on February 18, 2026.

All existing royalties and option agreements related to the South Cortez and South Tonkin properties remained in place. In addition, certain claims within the South Cortez and South Tonkin claim blocks that are 100% owned by Undercover are subject to a 1.75% net smelter royalty (‘NSR‘) retained by NewQuest.

Immediately before the transaction closing, Palisades put in place and retained a 1.75% NSR on all 100% owned MIAG claims and projects (excluding South Cortez and South Tonkin) by forming a new subsidiary to hold such NSR interests for the sole benefit of Palisades shareholders. Additionally, the 3.0% NSR on Nevada King Gold Corp.’s Atlanta Gold Mine Project previously held by Palisades in the MIAG entity was transferred to the newly formed subsidiary for the sole benefit of Palisades shareholders.

Sranan Gold Drilling Continues to Expand Randy’s Pit Target

Investing 6 Mins Read

Randy’s Pit Extended 25 Metres to the Northwest with 20.6 Metres At 0.64 g/t Gold and 50 Metres to the Southeast with 6.58 g/t Gold over 4 Metres

Sranan Gold Corp. (CSE: SRAN,OTC:SRANF) (OTCQB: SRANF) (FSE: P84) (Tradegate: P84) (‘Sranan’ or the ‘Company’) announces assay results from its ongoing 2026 diamond drilling program currently focused on the Randy’s Pit target. These results continue to extend Randy’s Pit gold mineralization with significant near-surface assay results returned (Table 1). Randy’s Pit lies along the +4.5-kilometre Poeketi Shear Zone (‘PSZ’) which represents one shear zone on Sranan’s 29,000-hectare Tapanahony Gold Project.

Drill hole 26RADD-023 encountered 30 metres (‘m’) of 0.67 grams per tonne gold (‘g/t Au’) starting at 99 m downhole and including a one metre interval assaying 12.53 g/t Au from 106 m. The hole was designed to test the up-dip extension of the significant mineralization intersected at depth in holes 25RADD-013 and 25RADD-004, successfully assessing the vertical continuity within the established PSZ (Figure 2). In drill hole 26RADD-021, an interval of 4 metres averaged 6.58 g/t Au, including one metre grading 21.8 g/t Au. Hole 26RADD-022 contained a 20.6 m interval of 0.64 g/t Au starting from surface. Drill hole 26RADD-020 tested the structural and mineralized gap between the northern and southern portions of the Randy’s Pit target. The mineralization intersected in this hole correlates well with mineralization encountered in the southernmost drill holes, supporting structural continuity across the target area.

Dr. Dennis J. LaPoint, Executive Vice President of Exploration and Business Development, notes that the current drilling is progressing well with positive drill results and efficient drilling. ‘We are expanding the Randy’s Pit target to the north with trenching and drilling and the PSZ continues to be a well mineralized gold system with multiple ore shoots, high grades, favorable widths at shallow depths and frequent visible gold seen in core. Further drilling will extend to depth and to the south.’

Samples were prepared and assayed by Filab in Paramaribo, Suriname. All samples >2 g/t were re-assayed with 50 gm re-assay and gravimetric assay. Standard QA/QC procedures were followed and showed a satisfactory level of reproducibility. The Company notes that the drill intercepts may not represent true underlying mineralization as core sample intervals are used. Core logging and photography and sampling are completed under industry standard QA/QC protocols (Oreas certified reference materials, assayed coarse blanks, duplicates of core).

Warner Bros. Discovery reopens talks with Paramount

Editor's pick 4 Mins Read

Warner Bros. Discovery said Tuesday that it was reopening talks with Paramount Skydance, giving the studio a week to rival Netflix in its bid to take over the streaming and cable giant.

In a statement, Warner Bros. Discovery said it had rejected the latest $30-a-share offer from Paramount but would give the company until Monday ‘to make its best and final offer.’

It also said a ‘senior representative’ of Paramount had indicated that the CBS owner would be willing to meet an even higher price, $31 a share, seemingly enticing the board back to the table.

At the same time, Warner Bros. is still recommending its shareholders vote at a special meeting March 20 to approve the $82.7 billion deal it reached in December to sell its streaming service, studio and HBO cable channel to Netflix.

Paramount is seeking to buy the entirety of Warner Bros. Discovery.

‘Every step of the way, we have provided [Paramount Skydance] with clear direction on the deficiencies in their offers and opportunities to address them,’ David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, said in the statement.

In a letter to the Paramount board — chaired by David Ellison, also the company’s CEO and controlling shareholder — Warner Bros. said that while Paramount had indicated it would address ‘unfavorable terms and conditions,’ these had not yet been removed from the proposed merger agreement.

Warner Bros. has repeatedly rejected previous bids from Paramount, citing the ‘insufficient value’ offered.

In a separate statement, Netflix hit out at what it called Paramount’s ‘antics.’

‘Throughout the robust and highly competitive strategic review process, Netflix has consistently taken a constructive, responsive approach with WBD, in stark contrast to Paramount Skydance,’ it said.

Netflix said that it was ‘confident that our transaction provides superior value and certainty’ but also recognized ‘the ongoing distraction for WBD stockholders and the broader entertainment industry caused by’ Paramount. The company said it granted Warner Bros. the one-week window to reopen talks with Paramount to ‘fully and finally resolve this matter.’

Netflix also took aim at the regulatory process required for either company to complete a takeover.

It said that Paramount has ‘repeatedly mischaracterized the regulatory review process by suggesting its proposal will sail through.’

‘WBD stockholders should not be misled into thinking that PSKY has an easier or faster path to regulatory approval — it does not,’ Netflix said.

In a statement, Paramount Skydance reiterated its existing offer to Warner Bros. Discovery of $30 per share. The company did not indicate if it would submit a higher bid.

Paramount called the one-week negotiating window ‘unusual’ but said it ‘is nonetheless prepared to engage in good faith and constructive discussions.’

The Ellison-backed media giant also said it would continue advocating against the Netflix deal and submit a slate of directors for Warner Bros.’ board at the upcoming shareholder meeting, as it previously planned to.

President Donald Trump, whose administration approved Ellison’s takeover of Paramount last year, said early in the bidding process he would be involved in approving a deal with Warner Bros.

But earlier this month, Trump changed his tune. ‘I’ve been called by both sides, it’s the two sides, but I’ve decided I shouldn’t be involved,’ he told ‘NBC Nightly News’ anchor Tom Llamas.

Trump still hinted that one company looked problematic to him. ‘I mean, there’s a theory that one of the companies is too big and it shouldn’t be allowed to do it,’ he said.

‘They’re beating the hell out of each other and there’ll be a winner,’ Trump said.

Warner Bros. has an archive of storied movies, as well as a diverse portfolio of brands including CNN and HBO.

The bidding war for the media empire comes at a pivotal time for the entertainment industry, with traditional broadcasters and studios facing serious challenges from digital newcomers Netflix, Apple and Amazon.

Since Netflix announced its deal to buy parts of Warner Bros. Discovery, its shares have tumbled nearly 25%.

CFTC chief sides with prediction markets over state regulators in a high-stakes court case

Editor's pick 3 Mins Read

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is stepping in to stop what it calls an “onslaught” of state-level regulation of prediction markets.

CFTC Chairman Michael Selig said Tuesday in a video posted on X that the agency has filed a “friend of the court brief” in support of Crypto.com in its escalating legal battle with regulators in Nevada.

The move is significant because it marks the first time under Selig that the CFTC has taken sides in what is shaping up to be an epic fight between regulators and prediction markets, platforms that allow users to trade contracts tied to a wide range of events, from local elections to the Super Bowl.

By intervening, Selig’s CFTC is effectively arguing that prediction markets are federally regulated and not subject to state-level gambling laws.

“Over the past year, American prediction markets have been hit with an onslaught of state-led litigation,” Selig said in the video.

“The CFTC will no longer sit idly by while overzealous state governments undermine the agency’s exclusive jurisdiction over these markets by seeking to establish statewide prohibitions on these exciting products,’ said Selig.

The debate over how the platforms should be regulated comes as they explode in popularity. Kalshi said Super Bowl 60 generated more than $1 billion in total trading volume — a 2,700% increase from last year.

It’s a fight with broad implications and high stakes. Over the past year, several states including Massachusetts and Nevada have moved to restrict prediction markets, filing lawsuits, issuing cease-and-desist letters and arguing that the platforms amount to unlicensed gambling.

Utah’s Republican governor, Spencer Cox, said in a post on X Tuesday that he will use “every resource” within his disposal to “beat” Selig in court.

“These prediction markets you are breathlessly defending are gambling—pure and simple,” he said. “They are destroying the lives of families and countless Americans, especially young men. They have no place in Utah.”

Meanwhile, Cox’s fellow Republican, Sen. Bernie Moreno of Ohio, issued his support of Selig’s announcement on X. “Clear lines of delineation and clarity on regulations is essential for American led innovation,’ he said.

Selig’s move comes days after a group of Democratic senators led by Nevada’s Catherine Cortez Masto sent the chairman a letter urging the CFTC to ‘abstain from intervening in pending litigation involving contracts tied to sports, war, or other prohibited events.’

As states attempt to rein in these fast-growing platforms, the question is no longer simply whether these products amount to gambling. It’s who gets to decide that question.

Industry advocates argue that the platforms aren’t gaming, which is traditionally regulated by states. Instead, they claim the prediction markets are financial exchanges that fall under the CFTC’s purview, where users trade contracts with one another. and don’t bet against a “house.” The exchanges don’t set odds or take the opposite side of trades. Instead, they collect transaction fees, similar to a brokerage.

In the video, Selig said prediction markets allow Americans to “hedge commercial risks like increases in temperature and energy price spikes,” and they act as “an important check on our news media and our information screens.”

He ended the video with a warning directed at the state attorneys general who are on the front lines of the legal fights to regulate prediction markets: “To those who seek to challenge our authority in this space, let me be clear: We will see you in court.”

All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including, but not limited to, statements about the planned re-start of mining operations at the True North Mine, and the timing thereof, are forward-looking statements. Although 1911 Gold has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements contained in this news release are given as of the date hereof. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Andrew Pollard, Blackrock’s President and CEO, commented: ‘2025 was a transformative year for Blackrock, and we are grateful to the TSX Venture Exchange for recognizing the shareholder value we have created. We enter 2026 with strong momentum, supported by a robust treasury, an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment on track for delivery this quarter, and key permitting initiatives advancing at our flagship Nevada project. With silver now designated as a strategic and critical mineral in the United States, Tonopah West stands out as one of the few high-grade, domestic mineral projects progressing towards development.‘

In 2025, the Company’s share price appreciated 273% and its market cap growth was 353%, positioning the Company as twenty-fifth overall on the 2026 TSX Venture 50 list.[1]

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Information

This news release contains ‘forward-looking statements’ and ‘forward-looking information’ (collectively, ‘forward-looking statements‘) within the meaning of Canadian and United States securities legislation, including the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this news release relate to, among other things: the advancement of the Tonopah West project towards development, including the acceleration of permitting and de-risking initiatives at the Tonopah West project through key permitting and pre-development initiatives; and the intention to complete an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Tonopah West project in the first quarter of 2026.

These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant operational, business, economic and regulatory uncertainties and contingencies. These assumptions include, among other things: conditions in general economic and financial markets; accuracy of assay results; geological interpretations from drilling results, timing and amount of capital expenditures; performance of available laboratory and other related services; future operating costs; the historical basis for current estimates of potential quantities and grades of target zones; the availability of skilled labour and no labour related disruptions at any of the Company’s operations; no unplanned delays or interruptions in scheduled activities; all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals for operations are received in a timely manner; the ability to secure and maintain title and ownership to properties and the surface rights necessary for operations; and the Company’s ability to comply with environmental, health and safety laws. The foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive.

The Company cautions the reader that forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements contained in this news release and the Company has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include, without limitation: the timing and content of work programs; results of exploration activities and development of mineral properties; the interpretation and uncertainties of drilling results and other geological data; receipt, maintenance and security of permits and mineral property titles; environmental and other regulatory risks; project costs overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses; availability of funds; failure to delineate potential quantities and grades of the target zones based on historical data; general market, political, economic and industry conditions; and those factors identified under the caption ‘Risks Factors’ in the Company’s most recent Annual Information Form.

Forward-looking statements are based on the expectations and opinions of the Company’s management on the date the statements are made. The assumptions used in the preparation of such statements, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statements were made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements included in this news release if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
