Vancouver, BC, Canada – TheNewswire - October 9, 2026 – First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL, OTC: FSTTF) ("First Tellurium" or the "Company") is deeply saddened to report the death of longtime drilling contractor John “Phil” McLean following an accident at Ootsa Lake in west-central British Columbia, near the Company’s Deer Horn Property.

McLean was a highly respected and experienced drilling contractor who had worked extensively in British Columbia and was well known within the mineral exploration community.

First Tellurium President and CEO Tyrone Docherty had known McLean for approximately 50 years.

“Phil was one of those rare people you never forget,” said Docherty. “I can say without hesitation that he was the most generous person I have ever met. He would do anything for anyone. This is a devastating loss, not only for those of us who knew him personally, but for the drilling and exploration community in British Columbia.”

Docherty added: “Phil was a legend in the drilling business. He had decades of knowledge and experience, but more importantly, he had an enormous heart. I am deeply saddened by his passing, and our thoughts are with his family, friends and everyone who had the privilege of working with him.”

As a result of the accident, First Tellurium has suspended all further exploration activity at the Deer Horn Property for the remainder of 2026.

The Company extends its deepest condolences to McLean’s family, friends, colleagues and the many people whose lives he touched during his long career.

About Blende Silver Corp.

Blende Silver Corp. is a Vancouver-based resource company focused on silver-zinc-lead exploration and development at its flagship Blende Project in north-central Yukon. The 100%-owned property hosts a carbonate-hosted Ag-Zn-Pb mineral resource that has been described in published literature as the largest of its type in Yukon (M. Robinson and C.I. Godwin, Economic Geology, 1995). That characterization is based on information available as at the date of that publication and has not been independently verified or updated by the Company. The property covers 5,345 hectares, is winter road accessible, and is located approximately 63 km northeast of Keno Hill, Yukon.

The Blende property lies within the Keno Hill silver district, one of Canada’s highest-grade historic silver producing districts, currently being advanced by Hecla Mining Company. Mineralization at Keno Hill and on other properties near the Project is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Project. The property has undergone more than $9.2 million in past exploration ($5.2 million by Blende Silver), including 25,195 meters of drilling in 132 drill holes. The historical expenditure and drilling figures are derived from historical records that the Company has not independently verified, a Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to verify them, and they should not be relied upon. A review of historical and recent data has identified areas to the west, north, and east-southeast of the currently defined zones that the Company considers prospective for follow-up exploration.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the mobilization of equipment and personnel, the anticipated timing and commencement of drilling, the scope, sequencing, and results of the planned multi-phase drill program, the interpretation and significance of the 3D IP survey data and identified chargeability anomalies, plans to mobilize over the winter road and to establish camp infrastructure and an airstrip, the potential for expanded exploration programs, the potential to update the mineral resource estimate, and the Company’s other plans and expectations. These statements are based on assumptions management believes to be reasonable and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including risks related to mineral exploration and development, the uncertainty of exploration results, weather and seasonal access, availability of equipment and personnel, permitting, and financing, that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. Geophysical anomalies, including IP chargeability responses, are not a direct indication of mineralization and may result from a variety of geological factors; there is no certainty that drilling will intersect economic or sub-economic mineralization. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Except as required by applicable securities legislation, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them, and there is no certainty that all or any part of such resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category.

Nuinsco Announces Adoption of Semi-Annual Reporting

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 11:20:00 MDT

Toronto – TheNewswire - October 9, 2026 – Nuinsco Resources Limited (“Nuinsco” or the “Company”) (CSE: NWI, FRA: NJX) today announced that it has elected to rely on Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933 Exemptions to Permit Semi-Annual Reporting for Certain Venture Issuers (the “Blanket Order”) and adopt semi-annual financial reporting, beginning with its third-quarter reporting period ended September 30, 2026.

The Blanket Order permits eligible venture issuers to voluntarily move from quarterly to semi-annual financial reporting by providing exemptions from the requirement to file interim financial reports and related management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) for their first and third quarters.

The Company has filed its interim financial reports and related MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the six months ended June 30, 2026. Having now satisfied the eligibility requirements under the Blanket Order, the Company will first rely on the exemption for the nine-month interim period ended September 30, 2026. Accordingly, Nuinsco will not file an interim financial report or related MD&A for that period.

Nuinsco’s financial year ends on December 31. Under the semi-annual reporting framework, the Company will continue to file:

Audited annual financial statements and related annual MDA within 120 days of its financial year-end; and
Six-month interim financial reports and related MDA within 60 days of June 30 each year.

The Company’s next scheduled financial reporting will therefore be its audited annual financial statements and related MD&A for the year ending December 31, 2026.

The Company intends to continue relying on the exemption for subsequent first- and third-quarter reporting periods, subject to its continued eligibility and the availability of the applicable exemptions. Adopting semi-annual reporting is intended to reduce reporting costs and administrative requirements, allowing management to devote additional resources to advancing the Company’s exploration and development activities.

Nuinsco will continue to comply with its other continuous disclosure obligations, including timely disclosure of material changes and applicable Canadian Securities Exchange reporting requirements.

This news release is being filed pursuant to Coordinated Blanket Order 51 – 933 Exemptions to Permit Semi-Annual Reporting for Certain Venture Issuers.

About Nuinsco Resources Limited

Nuinsco Resources has more than 50 years of exploration success and is a growth-oriented, multi-commodity mineral exploration and development company focused on prospective opportunities in Canada and internationally. Currently the Company has the large multi-commodity (phosphate, rare earth element, niobium, tantalum) Prairie Lake Project near Marathon-Terrace Bay, the Zig Zag Lake Property (lithium, tantalum) near Armstrong currently operated as a joint venture with First Class Metals PLC, the Paradise Lake gold project in central Newfoundland, and retains a NSR royalty on the Sunbeam Gold Property near Atikokan.

[Video Enhanced] Alex Metals CEO Gwen Preston Leads Hunt for VMS Deposit in Under-Explored Southeast Alaska

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 10:25:00 MDT

Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - October 8, 2026 – Global Stocks News - Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Alex Metals. On October 7, 2026, Alex Metals (TSXV: ALX) provided an update on its 2026 field program, which included over 6,000 metres of drill testing four targets on two projects, along with mapping, sampling, and geophysical surveys across all three portfolio projects.

Alex Metals owns three properties in accessible coastal Southeast Alaska: the Wodski Project, the Frenchie Project, and the KSO Project.

Above: map of Southeast Alaska highlighting the Alexander Triassic Belt and its VMS deposits and the Wales Group and its multiple known VMS occurrences. The nearby full-service communities of Ketchikan and Petersberg supported the Company's 2026 exploration programs.

The Wodski and Frenchie projects are within the Alexander Triassic Belt that hosts the world-class 42 million tonne (MT) high-grade Greens Creek and 297MT Windy Craggy volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits.

The KSO Project lies within Proterozoic-age rocks that host numerous early 1900s-era historical VMS mines and noted occurrences.

"This company was built with a clear purpose: to discover a new silver-gold-rich VMS deposit in under-explored Southeast Alaska," stated CEO Gwen Preston in the October 7, 2026 press release. "This is an area with exceptional VMS potential that has seen surprisingly little exploration. Alex Metals is now applying deep VMS expertise and long experience operating in coastal Alaska to explore these prospective properties."

VMS deposits typically contain a polymetallic mix of base and precious metals, including silver, zinc, gold, lead and copper, giving investors single-deposit diversification.

Preston brings science, journalism, communications and capital markets experience to her new role as CEO of Alex Metals. She holds a B.Sc. in Chemistry from McGill University, a Master of Journalism from UBC. She is a former journalist at The Northern Miner, VP of Investor Relations at West Red Lake Gold, and CEO of the Resource Maven newsletter, where she spent a decade visiting mine sites, interviewing geologists and producing independent research for a global subscriber base.

Preston is comfortable in core-shacks and corporate boardrooms. This versatility and depth of experience are assets in the junior resource sector, where CEOs must wear many hats.

On October 7, 2026, Alex Metals published an “explainer video” that provided detail and context for the company's first full Alaska field season.

“We just listed this company to trade on the Toronto Venture Exchange about 10 days ago,” stated Preston in the video. “Getting listed, which is a big lift, was only part of what kept us busy this summer. The rest of our focus was on executing a significant field program in Alaska, where we completed 6,000 metres of drilling that tested four targets on two separate projects, while also mapping, sampling, running geophysical surveys, and staking at all three of our projects.”

“Even though Alex Metals is a brand-new public company, we are about to start issuing results from a big discovery-driven field program. Discoveries happen when technical experts, high-potential rocks, and strong investor capital come together.”

“Our focus is Southeast Alaska, known to many as the Alaskan Panhandle. The Alexander Triassic belt of rocks in that part of the world revealed two standout VMS deposits a few decades ago. Windy Craggy at the north end is a Goliath of a VMS deposit at almost 300 million tons, and Greens Creek is among the richest VMS deposits ever found. Its average of 550 grams per tonne (g/t) silver, 3.8 g/t gold, and 11% combined zinc and lead, making it the largest silver mine in America and Hecla Mining's primary asset.”

“This belt of rocks is surprisingly underexplored, and that is where we see the opportunity,” continued Preston. “High-grade VMS deposits fit perfectly with what the market wants today: buildable mines that can generate strong economic returns. The team here at Alex Metals are VMS experts who also know coastal Alaska really well.”

“We started the summer down at the south end of the Panhandle, at our KSO project, where we drill-tested three targets while completing important mapping, sampling, and geophysics.”

“After two intense months at KSO, we packed everything up and moved north to our Wodski and Frenchie Projects, which are basically side by side. We repeated the process: drilling, mapping and sampling, and running geophysics. Exploration is an iterative process. You do a round of work, you figure out what it means, and then you repeat. If you make a discovery, you repeat over and over until you've fleshed it out into a deposit.”

“It all starts with a first season in the field, testing the immediate targets, mapping the rocks all around, assessing things like the conductivity or polarizability or magnetic response of the rocks in the area, and just tromping through the forest or the hillside to understand the geologic lay of the land and find signs of mineralization,” stated Preston. “That's what we did this year.”

KSO Project

The 2026 program was designed to drill test multiple known copper-gold-rich massive sulphide lenses in outcrop at Khayyam and Stumble On and to test the new geophysical target defined at Triple G. The program also collected significant new geological and geophysical data to build out a property-wide exploration dataset in support of future targeting and follow-up drilling. The program consisted of:

3,058 metres drilled on 3 targets across 16 holes
- 9 holes at Khayyam
- 4 holes at Triple G
- 3 holes at Stumble On
Surface and downhole EM geophysical surveys across three targets (Khayyam, Triple G, and Stumble On)
UAV Drone Magnetic and Photogrammetry survey of entire claim block
Geological mapping
Transect soil and rock sampling of key areas
Additional staking to expand KSO property by 148% and to cover five new regional VMS prospects totalling 577 hectares located within a 35-km radius of KSO

Wodski Project

VMS potential was first noted at the Project in the early 1980s in a rush of regional exploration following the discovery of Greens Creek. Intermittent work in the 1980s and 1990s led to the discovery of at least 10 VMS prospects at the Wodski Project, where rock exposure is mostly constrained to creeks and shoreline.

Drilling completed at the Mad Dog prospect by a previous operator in 2004 returned semi-massive to massive sulphide mineralization in 5 of 7 holes. Reported intercepts ranged from 1.7 to 17.7 metres with grades ranging from 112 to 565 g/t silver, 8 to 22% zinc, and 0.5 to 5% lead.

Drilling by Alex Metals in 2026 is the first follow-up drilling to be completed at the Mad Dog prospect since the original 2004 drill discovery.

Wodski Project 2026 Field Program (August and September)

Work completed on the Wodski Project includes:

3,138 metres drilled at the Mad Dog prospect for 13 drill holes
UAV Drone Magnetic and Photogrammetry survey
Mapping and prospecting of key prospect areas
Prospecting, core logging, and geophysics remain underway.

Frenchie Project

The 2026 field season was the Company's first at the Frenchie. A field program designed to advance the project to a drilling decision included mapping, sampling, a LIDAR survey, a tightly-spaced ground gravity survey, and a small IP test grid. The program is currently still underway.

The sulphide horizon exposed along the Frenchie creek strongly resembles VMS deposits elsewhere in the belt. Massive sulphide and massive barite mineralization chip sampled in 2025 returned strong gold-zinc grades, including 2.9 g/t Au and 3.0% Zn over 1.5 metres. Historical drilling has only tested south and west of outcropping mineralization. Preliminary 2026 mapping clearly shows that stratigraphy dips dominantly to the northwest. We look forward to the results of continued mapping and ground-based geophysical surveys from this season.

“I’m proud of my team for what they accomplished and how smoothly they executed a first season at three new projects,” concluded Preston. “And I'm very excited to see, and then share, all of the results that are to come from a big discovery-driven field season in Southeast Alaska.”

Results for all drill holes remain pending, with initial assays expected soon.

North Atlantic Titanium Announces Filing of NI 43-101 Technical Report Prepared by Micon International Limited on the Everett Titanium Project, Québec, Canada

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 06:40:00 MDT

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - October 8, 2026 – North Atlantic Titanium Corp. (CSE:NATO) (OTC: NATQF) (FSE:Y33) (“North Atlantic Titanium” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce the Company has filed on SEDAR+ an independent technical report (the “Report”) prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 — Standards of Disclosure of Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) pertaining to the Everett Titanium Project, Québec, Canada (the “Everett Property”).

The Everett Property hosts a laterally extensive titanium-vanadium-phosphate mineralized system within an oxide-apatite noritic gabbro of the Lac Allard magmatic suite. Historical drilling, modern surface verification sampling, analytical verification, and supporting technical studies indicate that the Everett Oxide Body represents a continuous mineralized intrusion extending for at least 2.5 km along strike, with indications that the mineralized trend continues to the north. The mineralized body is interpreted as a single intrusive unit rather than a collection of isolated occurrences.

Results from the 2023-2026 exploration program have validated key aspects of the historical exploration database and improved confidence in the geological interpretation of the Everett Oxide Body. The results support the continuity of the mineralized unit and provide a modern technical framework for further exploration and evaluation of the project. Historical metallurgical investigations and recent technical studies also support the interpretation of a consistent titanium-vanadium-phosphate mineralized system throughout the areas investigated to date.

No current Mineral Resource Estimate has been defined for the Everett Property. The Qualified Persons conclude that the geological continuity, mineralization style, and technical characteristics identified through historical and recent work support continued exploration and evaluation of the Everett Oxide Body.

The Qualified Persons recommend a staged, two-phase exploration program comprising geological mapping, extensive surface sampling, geometallurgical and metallurgical testing, and up to 25,000 metres of diamond drilling, with an estimated total exploration budget of approximately $13.65 million, before taxes (including contingency of $1.40 million).

Phase 1 is proposed to be executed in two sequential stages and is estimated at $3.58 million, or approximately $4.12 million including contingency of $0.54 million. Stage 1 would comprise integrated surface exploration and geometallurgical definition work with an estimated budget of $1.14 million, followed by Stage 2 of approximately 6,000 metres of diamond drilling with an estimated budget of $2.44 million. Subject to favourable results from Phase 1.

Phase 2 would be initiated on a success-contingent basis and would comprise additional metallurgical testing, approximately 19,000 metres of Stage 2 diamond drilling, geological and resource modelling, and the preparation of an initial mineral resource estimate. Phase 2 is estimated at approximately $9.53 million, including $0.87 million contingency.

Micon International Limited is a highly skilled multidisciplinary engineering company with service capabilities covering the following areas: geology, mining, metallurgy, mineral economics and environmental and social studies in the mining, minerals processing and financial sectors. Micon has provided independent consulting services to the world’s mining industry since 1988 on exploration and resources; reserves and mine engineering; metallurgy and process engineering; mineral economics and valuation and environment and social services.

Champs D'or En Beauce Présente Son Programme de Forage Sonic 2026 Sur le Canal Aurifère Paléoplacer de Saint-Simon-Les-Mines

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 06:30:00 MDT

Champs d’Or en Beauce (“Beauce Gold Fields”) (TSX Venture: BGF), a le plaisir d’annoncer la première phase prévue de son programme de forage sonic 2026 sur le canal aurifère paléoplacer de Saint-Simon-les-Mines, dans le sud du Québec.

Le programme initial devrait comprendre environ 20 à 30 sondages soniques concentrés dans une portion ouest d’environ un kilomètre du canal paléoplacer, qui s’étend sur près de six kilomètres, principalement dans les secteurs De Léry et Chaussegros.

Le programme vise à tester les horizons sédimentaires basaux aurifères, la saprolite et le socle rocheux fracturé, ainsi que des structures interprétées de tributaires, de confluences et de dépôts deltaïques dans la portion sélectionnée de la paléovallée. Certains sondages historiques seront également jumelés afin de comparer les résultats du forage sonique moderne aux données géologiques et aurifères historiques.

Le secteur initial De Léry–Chaussegros a été sélectionné parce qu’il regroupe plusieurs caractéristiques géologiques prioritaires, en plus d’une importante couverture de forages historiques et de levés géophysiques antérieurs. BGF prévoit étendre le forage sonique aux autres secteurs du paléoplacer en 2027.

Le programme de forage sonique devrait débuter après le 15 novembre 2026, à la suite de la fin de la saison locale de chasse. La Société a obtenu l’autorisation pour travaux d’exploration à impacts (« autorisation ATI ») requise du ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts du Québec (« MRNF ») pour les activités de forage prévues.

Patrick Levasseur, président et chef de la direction de Champs d’Or en Beauce, a déclaré :

« Il s’agit d’une étape importante et très stimulante pour Champs d’Or en Beauce. Pour la première fois depuis des décennies, nous allons forer de façon systématique le canal aurifère historique de Saint-Simon-les-Mines à l’aide de méthodes soniques modernes afin de tester directement son potentiel aurifère et les fondements géologiques de notre cible d’exploration actuelle. Ce district a produit historiquement d’importantes quantités d’or grossier, notamment de grosses pépites, mais une grande partie du paléoplacer demeure sous-explorée selon les standards modernes. Nous croyons que ce programme a le potentiel d’améliorer considérablement notre compréhension du canal et de contribuer à démontrer l’ampleur et l’importance du système paléoplacer de Saint-Simon-les-Mines. »

Ciblage des forages et géophysique antérieure

Le programme de forage sonique sera guidé par l’intégration des données de forage historiques, de l’interprétation géologique et des levés géophysiques déjà réalisés dans certaines parties des secteurs De Léry et Chaussegros.

À compter de 2013, l’Institut national de la recherche scientifique (« INRS ») a réalisé des levés de tomographie de résistivité électrique (« ERT ») et de polarisation provoquée (« PP ») sur certaines portions du secteur paléoplacer de Saint-Simon-les-Mines. Des travaux géophysiques subséquents ont notamment compris d’autres levés ERT, gravimétriques et connexes, lesquels ont contribué à l’interprétation de l’épaisseur du mort-terrain, de la géométrie de la paléovallée et de la structure du socle rocheux.

Ces ensembles de données, combinés aux forages historiques de Beauce Placer Co., de la Commission géologique du Canada, de Coniagas et de Macamic, fournissent un cadre géologique important pour le positionnement des premiers sondages soniques.

En juillet 2026, BGF avait annoncé son intention de réaliser un levé de sismique réfraction et réflexion avant le forage sonique. À la suite d’une analyse technique et financière plus approfondie, la Société a choisi de reporter ce programme sismique. L’entrepreneur proposé devait retenir les services d’une entreprise tierce de dynamitage afin de fournir la source sismique explosive, ce qui augmentait de façon importante le coût du programme.

Cinq secteurs du paléoplacer

À des fins d’exploration, BGF a subdivisé le canal paléoplacer de Saint-Simon-les-Mines en cinq secteurs principaux, chacun correspondant à une zone où un tributaire actuel ou ancien interprété se déversait dans la paléovallée à partir de son flanc nord.

Les cinq secteurs sont :

Secteur De Léry, qui comprend le tributaire du ruisseau Giroux, exploité historiquement au cours du 19e siècle;
Secteur Chaussegros, situé près du rang Chaussegros;
Secteur Saint-Gustave, situé près du rang Saint-Gustave et de la zone historiquement exploitée par une drague Yuba dans les années 1960;
Secteur G80–G85, où des travaux d’exploration antérieurs ont identifié une cible deltaïque interprétée associée à un tributaire;
Secteur Rang 6, situé à l’extrémité est de la paléovallée, près des sources de la rivière Gilbert.

Image : Carte polygonale longitudinale du chenal paléoplacer

Contexte de la cible d’exploration

Le programme actuel fait suite à l’évaluation technique mise à jour de la Société pour le chenal paléoplacer de Saint-Simon-les-Mines, qui a estimé une cible d’exploration variant entre :

4 004 674 et 5 991 229 mètres cubes;
des teneurs de 2,02 g Au/m³ à 12,0 g Au/m³.

La cible d’exploration est fondée sur l’interprétation de forages historiques, la modélisation géologique de la paléovallée de la rivière Gilbert, des calculs volumétriques polygonaux et l’évaluation d’unités aurifères de saprolite et de sédiments basaux, le tout réalisé par Jean Bernard, géo., une personne qualifiée indépendante au sens du Règlement 43-101.

La quantité et la teneur potentielles de la cible d’exploration sont de nature conceptuelle. Les travaux d’exploration réalisés à ce jour sont insuffisants pour définir une ressource minérale, et rien ne garantit que des travaux d’exploration additionnels permettront de délimiter une ressource minérale.

À propos du chenal paléoplacer de Saint-Simon-les-Mines

Le chenal paléoplacer de Saint-Simon-les-Mines représente le cœur du premier district de ruée vers l’or au Canada. Les activités minières historiques réalisées des années 1860 aux années 1960 ont permis de récupérer d’importantes quantités d’or grossier, incluant des pépites de plusieurs onces. Le modèle géologique de la Société suggère que la minéralisation aurifère du système paléoplacer est concentrée dans des horizons de gravier basal, du socle saprolitique et des pièges dans le socle rocheux fracturé développés le long du plancher de la paléovallée.

Jean Bernard, B. Sc., géo., une personne qualifiée indépendante au sens du Règlement 43-101, a révisé et approuvé le contenu technique du présent communiqué.

À propos de Beauce Gold Fields

Beauce Gold Fields se concentre sur l’exploration et le développement du plus important district aurifère placer de l’est de l’Amérique du Nord. L’objectif de la Société est de retracer les anciens travaux aurifères placériens jusqu’à leur source rocheuse afin de découvrir des gîtes aurifères filoniens économiques. Le projet phare de la Société est le projet aurifère de Saint-Simon-les-Mines, site de la première ruée vers l’or au Canada, antérieure à celle du Klondike au Yukon. La région de la Beauce a accueilli certaines des plus importantes exploitations aurifères placériennes de l’est de l’Amérique du Nord, actives des années 1860 aux années 1960, et a produit certaines des plus grosses pépites d’or de l’histoire minière canadienne, soit plus de 50 onces.
(Source : Rapport 43-101 – Beauce, 4 juillet 2018, auteur : B. Violette)

Beauce Gold Fields poursuit actuellement des travaux de forage sur des systèmes antiformes récemment découverts, lesquels sont considérés comme ayant pu contribuer au développement d’importants dépôts placériens aurifères en Beauce. Le modèle géologique de la Société suggère que l’or placer dans le paléochenal aurifère de Beauce, y compris les célèbres grosses pépites du 19e siècle, s’est formé dans des poches de quartz sous contrainte au sein d’axes antiformes stratifiés et bombés, représentatifs des formations de type Saddle Reef

Oceanic Iron Ore CEO Chris Batalha Talks About The Demand for Green Steel

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 06:30:00 MDT

Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - October 8, 2026 – Global Stocks News - Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Oceanic Iron Ore. On October 7, 2026, Oceanic Iron Ore (TSXV: FEO) issued a message to shareholders entitled “The Demand for Green Steel”.

Oceanic is focused on the development of its 100% owned Hopes Advance, Morgan Lake and Roberts Lake iron ore projects located on the coast, in the Labrador Trough in Québec, Canada.

The flagship Hopes Advance Project has a NI 43-101 Measured & Indicated resource of about 1.36 billion tonnes at a head grade of 32.1% Fe. The project is located at tidewater. The PEA highlights that Oceanic will not require a railroad to get its iron ore to market, significantly reducing capital expenses and operating costs.

The Demand for Green Steel

Chris Batalha
CEO of Oceanic Iron Ore

The planet is heating up. The ten warmest years in recorded history have all occurred in the last decade. The International Science Council (ISC) warns that higher temperatures are causing an increase in hurricanes, droughts and tropical cyclones.

The production of steel is a major contributor to global warming. An astonishing one billion metric tonnes of metallurgical coal is consumed globally every year to manufacture steel. This accounts for 15% of coal burned globally across all industries. Steel and iron ore are responsible for 7-9% of the world’s CO2 emissions.

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) has recommended that emissions from the iron and steel sector fall by more than 90% by 2050. To achieve this reduction target, global metallurgical infrastructure is currently being reimagined and rebuilt.

For decades, iron ore has been processed in traditional blast furnaces. These enormous chemical reactor towers transform iron ore into liquid metal (pig iron). The process requires extreme heat generated from burning metallurgical coke with hot air.

Blast furnaces are designed to run continuously 24/7 for 10 to 20 years. Shutting them down creates three major problems: the molten iron and slag inside the furnace can turn solid after time; cooling refractory linings can cause structural damage; reheating the blast furnace requires large amounts of energy, taking weeks - sometimes months - to achieve operational readiness.

Currently, about 70% of global steel is manufactured using these coal-fired blast furnaces. Gradually, production is being shifted to Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plants that use Green Hydrogen to strip oxygen from the iron ore, releasing water vapour instead of CO2.

The benchmark grade of iron ore required for blast furnace product is 62% Fe. Impurities like phosphorus make the steel brittle. Removing other impurities such as silica, alumina and sulphur forces the steel mill to use more energy, pure oxygen and fluxing agents like limestone.

The greener DRI plants require high-grade iron ore with low impurities due to the electricity requirements to produce a molten slag during steel making. Our lead asset, Hopes Advance, produces 66.6% Fe iron ore, with 0.01% Al₂O₃ and 0.005% phosphorus - among the lowest impurity levels of any seaborne concentrate globally.

New environmental regulations are actively pushing Chinese steel mills toward higher-grade ores. The Chinese want processing facilities that will maximize output while minimizing the additional pollution created from removing impurities.

High-grade, low-impurity iron ore has been added to Canada's and Québec’s Critical Minerals List. This premium product is in high demand from global steelmakers transitioning to green, hydrogen-based Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) processing.

Because the Hopes Advance iron ore is high-grade and has negligible alumina and phosphorus content, we have an opportunity to play an important role in servicing the green steel markets. It is a significant business advantage. Not all iron mines can contribute to the green steel input market.

There are still about 1,000 blast furnaces in operation. Many of these operations need high-grade material to blend with their lower-grade feed. Oceanic downstream iron ore buyers could be steel companies, iron ore producers, or trading houses.

In the next message, I will explain what we learned from the Hopes Advance Re-Scoped PEA.

About the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property

The Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property is located approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) northeast of, and is road accessible from, Hixon in central British Columbia. The Property includes the Quesnelle Quartz gold-silver deposit, which was discovered in 1865 and historically developed over a footprint of about 150 m by 150 m at the Main zone straddling Hixon Creek. The Property is bordered by the Cariboo Gold Project held by Osisko Gold Group and is located along a favourable corridor adjacent to the Spanish and Eureka thrust faults. The Company's land position covers approximately 96,183 hectares (237,673 acres).

Overall, the geological setting of gold mineralization on the Property shows strong similarities with the Spanish Mountain gold deposit, situated approximately 120 km to the southeast along the same geological trend. As a sediment-hosted vein (SHV) deposit, the Spanish Mountain deposit is considered to belong to the epizonal orogenic subclass of gold deposits. Similarity of geological setting does not mean that the Property will host a mineral resource or mineral reserve of comparable size or grade, and no economic comparison is intended.

About Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd.

Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. is rediscovering the Cariboo Gold Rush by proceeding with highly targeted drilling and trenching programs on its Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property, which is bordered by Osisko Gold Group, partly intertwined with them at the north end of the Cariboo Gold Project, and located along a favourable corridor adjacent to the Spanish and Eureka thrust faults over a 96,183 hectare (237,673 acre) area. Historically, over 101 placer gold creeks on the 90-kilometre (56 mile) trend, from the Cariboo Hudson mine north to the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property, have recorded production, with successful placer mining continuing to this day.

Beauce Gold Fields Outlines 2026 Sonic Drill Program for Saint-Simon-Les-Mines Paleoplacer Gold Channel

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 06:30:00 MDT

Beauce Gold Fields (“Champs d’Or en Beauce”) (TSX Venture: BGF), referred to as “BGF” or the “Company,” is pleased to announce the planned first phase of its 2026 sonic drilling program on the Saint-Simon-les-Mines paleoplacer gold channel in southern Quebec.

The initial program is expected to comprise approximately 20 to 30 sonic drill holes concentrated within an approximately one-kilometre, western portion of the nearly six-kilometre-long paleoplacer channel, principally within the De Léry and Chaussegros sectors.

The program is designed to test the auriferous basal sedimentary horizons, saprolitic and fractured bedrock, as well as interpreted tributary, confluence and deltaic features within the selected section of the paleovalley. Selected historical drill holes will also be twinned to compare modern sonic drilling results with historical geological and gold data.

The initial Delery–Chaussegros area was selected because it combines several priority geological features with substantial historical drilling and previous geophysical coverage. BGF plans to extend sonic drilling to the remaining paleoplacer sections during 2027.

The sonic drilling program is planned to begin after November 15, 2026, following the conclusion of the local hunting season. The Company has received the required Authorization for Impact-Causing Exploration Work (“ATI Authorization”) from Quebec’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (“MRNF”) for the planned drilling activities.

Patrick Levasseur, President and CEO of Beauce Gold Fields, commented: “This is an important and exciting milestone for Beauce Gold Fields. For the first time in decades, we will be drilling the historical Saint-Simon-les-Mines placer gold channel with modern sonic methods to directly test its gold potential and the geological basis of our current Exploration Target. This district produced significant coarse gold historically, including large nuggets, but much of the paleoplacer remains underexplored by modern standards. We believe this program has the potential to materially improve our understanding of the channel and help demonstrate the scale and significance of the Saint-Simon-les-Mines paleoplacer system.”

Drill Targeting and Previous Geophysics

The sonic drill program will be guided by the integration of historical drilling, geological interpretation and previously completed geophysical surveys covering portions of the Delery and Chaussegros sectors.

Beginning in 2013, the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (“INRS”) conducted electrical resistivity tomography (“ERT”) and induced polarization (“IP”) surveys across portions of the Saint-Simon-les-Mines paleoplacer area. Subsequent geophysical work included additional ERT, gravity and related surveys that contributed to the interpretation of overburden thickness, paleovalley geometry and bedrock structure

These datasets, combined with historical drilling by Beauce Placer Co., Geological Survey of Canada, Coniagas and Macamic, provide a substantial geological framework for positioning the initial sonic drill holes.

In July 2026, BGF announced plans to complete a seismic refraction and reflection survey prior to sonic drilling. Following further technical and cost review, the Company elected to defer the seismic program. The proposed seismic contractor was required to engage a third-party blasting contractor to provide the explosive seismic source, which materially increased the cost of the program.

Five Paleoplacer Sections

For exploration purposes, BGF has subdivided the Saint-Simon-les-Mines paleoplacer channel into five principal sections, each corresponding to an area where a current or interpreted ancient tributary entered the paleovalley from the northern flank.

The five sections are:

Delery Section, which includes the Giroux Brook tributary, historically worked during the 19th century;
Chaussegros Section, located near Rang Chaussegros;
Saint-Gustave Section, located near Rang Saint-Gustave and the area historically worked by Yuba dredge operations during the 1960s;
G80–G85 Section, where previous exploration identified an interpreted tributary-related deltaic target; and
Rang 6 Section, located at the eastern end of the paleovalley near the headwaters of the Gilbert River.

About the Saint-Simon-les-Mines Paleoplacer Channel

The Saint-Simon-les-Mines paleoplacer is a nearly six-kilometre-long buried gold-bearing channel within the Gilbert River paleovalley and represents the core of Canada’s first gold rush district. Historical mining from the 1860s through the 1960s recovered significant quantities of coarse gold, including multi-ounce nuggets.

The Company’s geological model indicates that gold mineralization within the paleoplacer system is concentrated principally within basal sedimentary horizons, saprolitic bedrock and fractures or natural traps developed along the paleovalley floor

The paleovalley lies immediately south of the Company’s interpreted Saddle Reef-style antiform structures. BGF’s geological model is evaluating these structures and associated quartz-vein systems as potential bedrock sources for at least part of the historical placer gold.

Historical and modern geological work also indicates that tributaries entering the Gilbert River paleovalley from the north may have played an important role in transporting and concentrating gold. Interpreted deltaic deposits developed at tributary mouths therefore represent priority exploration targets for the sonic drilling program.

More information:
https://beaucegold.com/beauce-gold-property

Exploration Target

The drilling program follows the Company’s June 2026 technical assessment of the Saint-Simon-les-Mines paleoplacer channel, which established an Exploration Target ranging between:

4,004,674 and 5,991,229 cubic metres; and
2.02 g Au/m³ to 12.0 g Au/m³

The Exploration Target is based on the interpretation of historical drilling, geological modelling and reconstruction of the Gilbert River paleovalley, polygonal volumetric calculations, and the evaluation of auriferous basal sedimentary, saprolitic and weathered bedrock units.

The updated geological interpretation recognizes the potential importance of buried tributaries and deltaic deposits, natural bedrock traps and greater-than-previously-recognized thicknesses of saprolitic and fractured bedrock within the paleovalley.

The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the delineation of a mineral resource.

About Beauce Gold Fields

Beauce Gold Fields is focused on exploring and developing the historic placer gold district of the Beauce region of southern Quebec. The Company’s objective is to trace historical placer gold workings back to potential bedrock sources and evaluate the potential for economic lode-gold mineralization.

The Company’s flagship property is the Saint-Simon-les-Mines gold project, site of Canada’s first gold rush, which predates the Yukon Klondike. The Beauce region hosted major historical placer gold operations from the 1860s through the 1960s and produced some of the largest gold nuggets recorded in Canadian mining history, including nuggets exceeding 50 ounces. (Source: SEDAR, NI 43-101 Report – Beauce, July 4, 2018, author B. Violette.)

Beauce Gold Fields continues to explore antiform structures that the Company believes may have contributed gold to the extensive auriferous placer deposits of the Beauce region. The Company’s geological model is evaluating whether structural traps associated with antiform folding and saddle-reef-style quartz mineralization may represent potential bedrock sources for gold found within the historical Beauce paleoplacer system.

Cameo Begins Drilling Its 100% Owned Katoro Gold Property

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 06:30:00 MDT

October 8, 2026 – TheNewswire - SURREY, British Columbia – Cameo Resources Inc. (CSE: MEO FSE: Z88) (“Cameo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the first ever drilling campaign has commenced at its 100% owned, 19.58 square kilometer, Katoro Gold Property (“Katoro” or the “Property”), located in the Geita region of the Lake Victoria Goldfields of Tanzania.

Highlights of the Katoro Property:

Located within the Sukumaland Greenstone Belt (SGB”) on the Buckreef Mine mineralized shear zone trend, within the Lake Victoria Goldfields in north-west Tanzania.
19.58 km roadaccessible land package, approximately 170 km southwest of Mwanza city, 63 km southwest of Geita Region.
There are current hard rock mining and milling operations surrounding the Property less than 1 kilometer from property boundaries in most directions.
The Company has sampled massive to semi-massive sulphide materialization from two mining operations less than 500 meters north of Katoro’s northern claim boundary that have returned gold values of 238.74g/t (8.42oz) Au and 169.22g/t (5.97oz) Au
Gold bearing quartz vein material from surface in an alluvial setting is the current focus of mining of local miners in the area. The company has yet to determine the limits of this type of mineralization however 6 samples taken from active artisanal mining pits on the Property returned an average grade of 12.26g/t Au.
Regional geophysical and structural settings support a strong exploration potential for significant gold mineralization within the project area.

Only ~35% of the Property has been covered by with Induced Polarization yielding a total of 80 targets proposedfor drilling
The prospective mineralized zones are characterized by moderate to high chargeability values of up to 250 mV/V, and generally low-intermediate resistivity values of ~10 Ωm to 700 Ωm. The zones are presumed to be associated with zones of disseminated and semi-massive sulphides with gold mineralization within the Precambrian rocks and quartz veins foundwithin shear zones.
Interpretation of the Property geophysical results has resulted in five distinct mineralized zones identified at varying depths ranging from a few meters below the surface to ~120 m.
These zones appear to extend west and/or east beyond the boundaries of the project areaand/or surveyedblocks, indicating additional potential areas for gold mineralization
These zones depict three significant trends aligned with the magnetic lineaments interpreted as faults and/or shear zones with the most dominant E-W trend mirroring the Tembo gold deposit of Buckreef Gold Mine.

Phase 1 Drilling at Katoro

The Company plans to systematically evaluate the multiple drill targets generated on the five blocks from the geophysical exploration completed earlier this year, see press release dated January 7, 2026. Cameo has engaged HETAMIS Mineral Services Ltd. (“HETAMIS”) of Dar es Salam, Tanzania to manage the drill program at Katoro. HETAMIS offers a comprehensive suite of consulting services that encompass environmental, technical, and operational aspects.

Mr. Brian Thurston, Director, states: "The team has proven their commitment to shareholders by fast tracking targeting for this first ever drill campaign. Using modern scientific tools as a guide, Cameo has proven that the Katoro property is prospective to host Buckreef-style gold mineralization and we are extremely encouraged by similarities between the Katoro Property and the on-trend, Tembo Gold Deposit and Buckreef Gold Mine. We look forward to delivering our first discovery through this inaugural drill campaign which will focus on priority targets from Block 1 of the Property.”

Phase 1 drilling will consist of between 10-15 drillholes selected from the first of five blocks that were tested by induced polarization by the Company, the remaining blocks will be tested in subsequent drill campaigns. The first phase drillholes will target the northern project area’s magnetic anomalies with E-W trending magnetic lineaments that are believed to be highly prospective, typical of gold mineralization at the Tembo gold deposit, part of the Buckreef Gold Mine, and the Nyamalimbe gold deposit. Coincidental IP anomalies in this area have chargeability readings as high as 250mV/V believed to represent massive to semi-massive sulphide within shear zones. The Company has sampled massive to semi-massive sulphide materialization from mining operations less than 500 meters north of Katoro’s northern claim boundary that have returned gold values of 238.74g/t (8.42oz) Au and 169.22g/t (5.97oz) Au. The targeted anomalies are all relatively shallow, starting from below the surface alluvial material to a depth of 120-150 meters, which mimics the mineralized depths at Tembo and Buckreef Mines, ~7km and ~14km to the northeast of the Katoro property, respectively.

Qualified Person

Brian Thurston, P.Geo., the Company’s director, technical advisor and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release.

Private Placement

As a result of additional last minute interest, the Company has accepted an additional $31,950 (213,00 units) over and above those disclosed in the Company’s press release from October 6, 2026.

The Company has accepted subscriptions for 2,809,666 units totaling $421,550 representing the final closing of this previously announced non-brokered private placement.

Melkior Resources Confirms Down-Plunge Continuity of Gold Mineralization at the 1010 Zone and Advances Property-Wide Exploration at the Carscallen Gold Property

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 06:15:00 MDT

TIMMINS, ONTARIO - TheNewswire - October 8, 2026 – Melkior Resources Inc. ("Melkior" or the "Company") (TSXV: MKR) (OTCQB: MKRIF) reports initial assay results from the first two holes of its 2026 winter diamond drill program at the Company's wholly owned Carscallen Gold Project, located approximately 25 km west of Timmins, Ontario.

Assay results from holes MKR-26-001 and MKR-26-002 confirm the down-plunge continuity of gold mineralization within the 1010 South structural corridor and extend the mineralized system to approximately 280 metres vertical depth. The results represent the first assays received from a 10-hole, 3,136-metre program designed to test the vertical and lateral extensions of known mineralized zones and evaluate additional targets across the property.

Key Highlights

Completed 10 diamond drill holes totaling 3,136 metres targeting the 1010 North and South Zones, ZamZam-Jowsey trend, and Northwest Prospect.
Initial drilling confirms continuity of mineralization within the 1010 South Zone and supports the interpreted down-plunge extension of known high-grade mineralization.
- MKR-26-001: 2.91 g/t Au over 2.89 m, including 9.17 g/t Au over 0.90 m.
- MKR-26-002: 2.52 g/t Au over 2.60 m, including 6.33 g/t Au over 0.93 m.
Additional mineralized intervals were intersected within altered and sulphide-bearing shear zones. Mineralization remains open along strike and at depth.
Assays are pending from the remaining eight drill holes.
A fully funded surface exploration program, including geological and structural mapping, prospecting, and systematic rock sampling, is currently underway.

1010 Zone

Initial results indicate continued vertical continuity of gold mineralization within the 1010 Zone. Both drill holes intersected mineralized shear-hosted quartz-carbonate veins associated with sulphide alteration.

The higher-grade intervals are interpreted to extend the plunge of the high-grade shoot intersected in hole MKR-24-002 (77.4 g/t Au over 6.9 m, including 445 g/t Au over 1.2 m) approximately 180 metres below the nearest historical drilling. Mineralized structures remain open both laterally and at depth.

Assays from additional holes that intersected similar alteration, quartz veining, and sulphide mineralization remain pending.

District-Scale Potential

In addition to the 1010 Zone, the winter drill program tested targets along the ZamZam-Jowsey corridor and at the Northwest Prospect. The presence of deformation corridors, quartz-sulphide veining, hydrothermal alteration, and gold mineralization across multiple target areas continues to support the Company's exploration model for a property-scale gold system at Carscallen.

Property-Wide Exploration Program

Melkior has commenced a fully funded surface exploration program aimed at refining drill targets and improving the understanding of structural controls on mineralization. Work includes detailed geological and structural mapping, systematic rock sampling, expansion of known mineralized trends, and generation of new drill targets.

To date, 178 rock samples have been collected and submitted for analysis. Partial assay results totalling 100 of 178 samples were received and will be integrated with current drilling data to support future exploration planning.

Management Commentary

"These initial results confirm the continuity of gold mineralization at depth within the 1010 Zone and support our interpretation of a down-plunge extension to the high-grade mineralization previously identified," said Bernard Deluce, CEO and Director.

"With assays pending from eight additional drill holes and ongoing surface exploration, we continue to advance our understanding of the broader Carscallen mineralized system and its exploration potential."

Looking Ahead

Assays remain pending from eight drill holes and surface rock samples. Results from ongoing drilling and field programs are expected to support further target generation, resource expansion potential, and evaluation of additional gold-bearing structures across the Carscallen Property.

Ares Strategic Mining to Host Official Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony for New U.S. Fluorspar Processing Plant in Delta, Utah

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 05:30:00 MDT

Federal, State and Industry Leaders to Join Ares on October 9 as the Company Celebrates a Major Milestone in Rebuilding Domestic Fluorspar Supply

DELTA, UTAH – TheNewswire - October 8, 2026 – Ares Strategic Mining Inc. (CSE: ARS) (OTCQX: ARSMF) (FRA: N8I1) ("Ares" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it will host an official ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, October 9, 2026, at the ARES Processing Facility in Delta, Utah, formally marking the opening of the Company’s new Lumps Plant and a major milestone in the return of domestic fluorspar processing to the United States.

The new facility processes raw fluorspar from Ares’ fully permitted Lost Sheep Mine into industry-ready metallurgical-grade fluorspar ("metspar"). The ceremony comes as Ares has begun transporting mined ore to Delta and introducing live material into the processing circuit, with the operations team now optimizing the plant around the characteristics of Lost Sheep ore as production ramps up.

A Milestone Years in the Making
The ribbon cutting will bring together federal and state officials, strategic partners, industry leaders and local stakeholders to recognize the completion of infrastructure that connects Ares’ Utah mine directly with a purpose-built U.S. processing operation.

“We have reached the moment when years of permitting, mine development, engineering, construction and financing have become a working U.S. mine-to-plant operation. Ore is being mined, trucked to our facility and run through the plant. Friday gives us the opportunity to recognize the team, shareholders, public-sector partners and local community who helped turn that plan into physical infrastructure. For Ares, this is the beginning of an entirely new chapter.” – James Walker, President and CEO, Ares Strategic Mining

Federal, State and Industry Leaders to Attend
Confirmed attendees for Friday’s ceremony include:

• Mike Kennedy — U.S. Representative, Utah
• Carson Brown — Office of U.S. Senator John Curtis
• David P. Hinkins — Utah State Senator
• Emy Lesofski — Director, Utah Office of Energy Development
• Dana Dean — Acting Director, Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining
• James Walker — President and CEO, Ares Strategic Mining
• Peter Godart — President and CEO, Found Industries

Scheduled speakers include Peter Godart, U.S. Representative Mike Kennedy, James Walker and a federal government representative. Ares is also coordinating attendance from representatives of the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Energy and Defense Logistics Agency, with final names to be announced.

A Major Step for U.S. Critical-Mineral Infrastructure
The Delta Lumps Plant is designed to convert run-of-mine fluorspar into metallurgical-grade product for industrial customers. Metspar is used principally in steel and aluminum production, where fluorspar acts as an important fluxing material. The facility represents a significant step toward rebuilding a domestic supply capability for a mineral that has long been strategically important to U.S. manufacturing.

The plant’s opening is especially significant because Ares is developing the supply chain from the ground up: mining ore at Lost Sheep, transporting it to Delta, processing it through Company-built infrastructure, and preparing finished product for commercial markets. Ares has previously announced a Memorandum of Understanding with global commodities trader Cremer Erzkontor Inc. relating to distribution of its metspar product across North America.

Utah Support Helped Make the Facility Possible
The ceremony will also recognize the State of Utah’s support for the development of domestic critical-mineral infrastructure. During the 2025 General Session of the Utah State Legislature, legislation broadened the legal definition of a “throughput infrastructure project” to include infrastructure required for extracting and processing critical minerals. The Company subsequently received an $11 million state-supported loan through the Utah Community Impact Board to advance its Utah operations.

“The support we have received in Utah has allowed Ares to move from plans and engineering drawings to mine development, processing infrastructure and physical production. We are proud to celebrate this milestone in Delta with many of the people and organizations that have supported the project, and we look forward to showing what has been built.” – James Walker

From the Lumps Plant to the Next Stage of Growth
The Lumps Plant is the first major processing component of Ares’ broader Utah strategy. The Company is also advancing construction of its complementary Acidspar Flotation Plant, which is intended to produce higher-purity acid-grade fluorspar for chemical, technology, energy and strategic-material applications.

With mining underway, ore moving to the processing site and the Lumps Plant entering live-material operations, Friday’s ribbon cutting will provide a formal public marker of the Company’s transition into an operating mine-and-processing business. Ares expects to provide a further update following the ceremony.

DISCLOSURE AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

Companies typically rely on comprehensive feasibility reports on mineral reserve estimates to reduce the risks and uncertainties associated with a production decision. Historically, situations where the issuer decides to put a mineral project into production without first establishing mineral reserves supported by a technical report and completing a feasibility study have a higher risk of economic or technical failure, though some industrial mineral ventures are relatively simple operations with low levels of investment and risk, where the operating entity has determined that a formal prefeasibility or feasibility study in conformance with NI 43-101 and 43-101 CP is not required for a production decision. Based on historical engineering work, geological reports, historical production data and current engineering work completed or in the process by Ares, the Company intends to move forward with the development of its Utah asset.

[Video Enhanced] Sendero's 3D Magnetic Model Identifies Multiple Porphyry and Epithermal Targets with Deep Roots at Peñas Negras

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 05:30:00 MDT

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - October 8, 2026 – Sendero Resources Corp. (TSXV: SEND) (FSE:9O40) (the “Company” or “Sendero”) is pleased to report results of advanced interpretation of airborne magnetic survey data from its Peñas Negras Project in La Rioja, Argentina, updating the exploration model and identifying targets for both epithermal and porphyry-style mineralization. The model indicates that key ingredients associated with porphyry districts in the Vicuña Belt (fertile intrusions, deep-rooted structures, multiple mineralizing centres and a preserved lithocap) appear to be present at Peñas Negras.

Highlights

3D inversion and classification of aeromagnetic data have produced a geological model of Peñas Negras to approximately 3 km depth.
Several discrete, kilometre-scale magnetic bodies are interpreted as oxidized intrusions, characteristic of magmas associated with porphyry Cu-Au(-Mo) deposits.
Lithocap, a favourable host for epithermal mineralization, is present across much of the project, indicating the upper levels of the system are preserved. Interpreted intrusions occur from subcrop to the maximum inversion depth.
Stacked lithocap layers are consistent with more than one hydrothermal event.
Near-vertical zones of magnetite-destructive alteration may mark deep fluid pathways, including beneath known mineralization at La Ollita.

"For the first time, we can see Peñas Negras in three dimensions," said Jeremy Gillis, Interim CEO of Sendero. "The model shows several large intrusive centres, a preserved lithocap and deep structures. Together, they point to a potential cluster of mineralized systems rather than a single target, with settings for both epithermal and porphyry-style mineralization. Historical drilling also shows the system sits where you want it: the top hasn't been eroded away, and the intrusive rocks beneath it are within drilling reach."

Peñas Negras 3D Magnetic Model Animation

The animation displays the 3D magnetic model, showing the four magnetic classes in colour: lithocap (cyan), magnetite-destructive alteration (blue-grey), andesitic host rock (yellow) and interpreted intrusions (red), with drill holes in their true positions.

At La Ollita, historical drilling sits near surface above alteration that extends to depth. At Cerro Verde Sur, the 2026 holes lie between two large, interpreted intrusions without reaching either. At Cerro Verde Norte, an interpreted intrusion rises close to surface beside the historical holes. The sections below illustrate the spatial relationship of distinct magnetic units, and in particular the widespread lithocap and several separate intrusive bodies.

Mapping Magnetic Classes in 3D

Classification is the statistical separation of data into predefined categories (supervised classification) to simplify the visualization and of overlapping ranges of data. Classification Applied to the 3D inversion of the aeromagnetic data, the classification defines four distinctive magnetic units:

Class 1 (lowest susceptibility) forms a thin, flat-lying layer across much of the project, interpreted as lithocap.
Class 2 (low to moderate) forms a thick horizontal layer with near-vertical chimneys, interpreted as hydrothermal root zones where alteration has destroyed magnetite.
Class 3 (moderate) makes up most of the model, interpreted as the andesitic volcanic host rock.
Class 4 (highest) forms steep, pipe-like bodies cutting the host rock, interpreted as intrusions.

What the Cross Sections Show

La Ollita. The model shows lithocap at surface, with a root zone of interpreted magnetite-destructive alteration extending beneath the known mineralization. Historical drilling is shallow, and the deeper part of the system has not been tested.

Cerro Verde Norte. Historical drilling by Anglo American (2011–2012) intersected lithocap hydrothermal breccia near surface and granitic intrusive rocks at depth, consistent with the geometry predicted by the model. Whether the granite is a mineralizing intrusion or older basement has not been determined.

Cerro Verde Sur. Three shallow holes drilled in 2026 intersected anomalous gold in the lithocap but did not reach the strongly magnetic body below (see news release dated August 17, 2026). This body remains untested.

Section 6879052N. Two stacked lithocap layers, approximately 9 km north of La Ollita, are consistent with more than one overlapping hydrothermal event (telescoping).

Cross Section 6879052N: Two layers of Class 1 indicates two stacked lithocaps, which is strong evidence of telescoping.

Why Magnetics: Mapping Geology Under Cover

Most of Peñas Negras is covered by glacial and alluvial sediments, which hide the bedrock from surface mapping but are largely transparent to magnetics. Magnetic response is controlled mainly by magnetite, which hydrothermal fluids can create or destroy, so magnetics maps alteration as well as rock type.

Surface geochemistry and radiometrics are two-dimensional and masked by overburden, while IP/resistivity and drilling are limited and shallow. Only the 3D magnetic inversion images the subsurface to kilometre-scale depth across the whole project.

Separating Overlapping Signals

Overlapping distributions of magnetic responses from different sources (rock types) can be statistically separated by assuming a normal (Gaussian) distribution for each source, creating statistical Classes. Classes can be then tied to the geology by direct measurement of magnetic susceptibility on representative rock types.

Adaptogenics Acquires Nutritional Research Assets to Advance GLP-1 Companion Initiative

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 05:30:00 MDT

Company acquires research platform to support evidence-based products and future peptide programs for patients using GLP-1 therapies

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - October 8, 2026 — Adaptogenics Health Corp. (CSE: ADPT) (“Adaptogenics” or the “Company”) announces the acquisition of nutritional research assets developed by Berkwood Research (the “Assets”) to support a GLP-1 companion initiative focused on muscle preservation, metabolic health and functional outcomes during medically induced weight loss.

The Assets include four nutritional research compositions and supporting scientific documentation comprising 36 ingredient evidence reviews, dose recommendations, product development rationale and biomarker mapping. The Company intends to use this package to select an initial GLP-1 companion concept, define measurable endpoints and establish priorities for formulation, analytical work and further testing.

The four compositions provide modular research starting points across foundational metabolic and muscle support, cardiometabolic and vascular health, neurocognitive and stress support, and recovery and immune health. The underlying research includes ingredients relevant to protein metabolism, mitochondrial function, body composition, inflammation and physical performance, including creatine, urolithin A, selected amino acids, fatty acids and other evidence-based compounds.

Dr. Robert Bergia, PhD, MBA, will join the Company as Scientific Advisor, Metabolic Health and Muscle Preservation. Founder of Berkwood Research, Dr. Bergia previously led protein nutrition research at ADM. He holds a PhD in Nutrition Science and Gerontology from Purdue University and has authored more than two dozen peer reviewed publications, including work examining nutrition during medically induced weight loss.

“Medical weight loss creates a major need to preserve muscle, strength and function,” said Dr. J. David Warren, Chief Executive Officer. “This acquisition gives us a practical research foundation for an initial GLP-1 companion program while we evaluate proprietary peptides and delivery technologies that may address the same broader challenge through differentiated therapeutic approaches.”

The Assets were acquired for total cash consideration of US$27,000, with no additional consideration payable. Initial work will evaluate the acquired compositions, prioritize a lead product concept and identify the analytical and functional endpoints required for further testing.

Red Canyon Initiates First Diamond Drill Program on its Nautilus Copper-Gold Target

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 04:30:00 MDT

Vancouver, British Columbia - TheNewswire - October 8, 2026: Red Canyon Resources Ltd. (“Red Canyon” or the “Company”) (CSE: REDC | OTCQB: REDRF | Frankfurt: I9I) is pleased to announce that it has initiated a first-pass diamond drill program at its 100% owned Nautilus copper-gold target within the Osiris Project in central British Columbia. The program will test priority targets defined by the integration of project-wide magnetic and induced polarization (“IP”) geophysics, anomalous copper and porphyry-indicator geochemistry, and geological information obtained from recent auger drilling.

Company Highlights:

• The Company has initiated a first-ever diamond drilling program at Nautilus, testing priority targets identified through the integration of airborne magnetics, Magnetic Vector Inversion (“MVI”) modelling, IP geophysics, soil geochemistry and recent auger drilling.

• Nautilus is defined by a complex magnetic feature measuring approximately 3.5 × 3.5 km, with multiple MVI-modelled pipe-like magnetic features interpreted as possible porphyry intrusions and potentially representing a series of porphyry copper centres.

• The initial drill program will focus on two priority target areas: Nautilus Prime and Nautilus North. Nautilus Prime is defined by a coincident pipe-like magnetic feature, IP resistivity high and chargeability high, and anomalous copper-in-soil geochemistry, while Nautilus North combines anomalous copper-in-soil geochemistry, magnetic features, and recent auger drill intersections of altered hornblende porphyry, including quartz veining with pyrite and chalcopyrite.

• The Company also recently initiated an expanded IP survey at Nautilus, including new lines over the northern magnetic features and a cross-line over Nautilus Prime. An IP inversion of line 2N at Nautilus North has outlined several areas where magnetic highs coincide with variable resistivity and moderate-to-high chargeability. These strong geophysical vectors also correspond with elevated copper-in-soil geochemistry providing additional confidence for the upcoming drill testing.

Wendell Zerb, the Chairman and CEO of the Company, commented: “Nautilus has rapidly emerged as a compelling new exploration target within the Osiris Project. The combination of a very large and complex magnetic feature, multiple MVI-modelled pipe-like bodies, anomalous copper and porphyry-indicator geochemistry and coincident IP responses provides a strong foundation for initial drill testing.

Of particular interest is the convergence of these various exploration vectors at Nautilus Prime and Nautilus North. Our first-pass drilling is designed to initially test these two priority areas for porphyry related copper and gold mineralization. It is very exciting to test a dynamic target like Nautilus, where so many key exploration vectors align, suggesting excellent discovery potential.”

Osiris Project

The Osiris Project forms the central and northern part of the Inzana project area. The Inzana project area is in central British Columbia, approximately 60 km northwest of the district municipality of Fort St. James and 35 km west-southwest of Centerra Gold’s Mount Milligan copper-gold mine. The area has excellent access, provided by primary and secondary forestry roads. The Company holds mineral claims totalling 27,114 hectares within the broader Inzana area.

The Osiris Project is located within the early Mesozoic-aged Quesnellia island arc terrane, which hosts several of British Columbia’s largest copper and copper-gold deposits. The project is bounded to the west by the NW-trending Pinchi Fault and includes interpreted NE-SW cross-arc structures that the Company believes may represent important structural pathways for the emplacement of porphyry systems.

Through project-wide airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys, MVI modelling, soil geochemistry, IP geophysics and, most recently, auger drilling, the Company has identified several priority targets at Osiris, including Camp, Nautilus, EV, Twin Peaks and Rhino (Figure 1).

Nautilus Prime and Nautilus North

Nautilus Prime is located within the broader Nautilus magnetic feature and represents a priority target where multiple exploration datasets converge. The target is associated with a pipe-like magnetic high and coincident IP response, including elevated resistivity and chargeability. The Company considers these overlapping porphyry vectors at Prime a compelling copper-gold porphyry drill target.

Preliminary portable x-ray fluorescence (“pXRF”) geochemical results provide additional support for the target, with anomalous copper and porphyry-indicator elements identified in the surrounding soil samples (Figure 5). A new IP cross-line is planned across Nautilus Prime as part of the recent expansion of the IP survey (Figures 3 and 5). Furthermore, improved access from recent forestry activity and existing forestry roads provides access to Nautilus Prime for the current drill program.

Figure 5: The Nautilus target highlighting preliminary pXRF analyzed copper anomalous soils.

Two recent auger holes drilled at the NE end of Nautilus intersected altered hornblende porphyry. One of these holes also intersected quartz veins containing pyrite and chalcopyrite. These intersections provide direct geological evidence of altered and mineralized porphyritic rocks beneath the glacial till cover and support the interpretation that the northern magnetic and geochemical features may be associated with a porphyry system.

The Nautilus North area has good road access and several inactive logging roads that are available for re-establishing track access. The Company has incorporated the geological information from the recent auger drilling, together with the magnetic, IP and geochemical data, into the initial drill targeting at Nautilus North.

EV Target

The Company has also initiated first pass drilling of the EV target, which represents two large-scale, linear electromagnetic (“EM”) features identified in regional Geoscience BC VTEM datasets. The higher-amplitude EM feature is one of the highest-amplitude conductors identified in this part of British Columbia. The Company completed one line of IP geophysics across the main EM feature to confirm the feature’s conductivity and location (see news release July 30, 2026).

Fathom Geophysics interprets the main EM anomaly to be a steep, east-dipping tabular body. The high amplitude of the EM signature suggests that the feature could represent a tabular body of massive sulphides or potentially highly graphitic sediments.

Diamond drill hole RCOS-26-009, recently completed at EV, intersected a newly recognized, mixed sedimentary package that includes pyrite-rich carbonaceous sediments with sheared intervals containing highly graphitic surfaces. Handheld pXRF values determined from core over the length of the drill hole indicate areas of elevated zinc and barium. Variable hydrothermal alteration including zones with quartz veinlets and fine-grained sulphides are common.

Hi-View Acquires Additional Contiguous Mineral Tenures to its Junkers Property in the Toodoggone Mining District, British Columbia

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 01:01:00 MDT

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – TheNewswire - OCTOBER 8, 2026 – HI-VIEW RESOURCES INC. (“Hi-View” or the “Company”) (CSE: GXLD; OTCQB: GXLDF; FSE: B630) announces that it has acquired additional contiguous claims to its Junker Property in the Toodoggone Gold & Copper District of northern British Columbia.

R Nick Horsley, Chief Executive Officer of Hi-View, commented: “Junkers is now seven claims and 3,473 hectares, and the additions bring the Junkers showing onto the property. This acquisition gives Hi-View another large-scale generative property in the Toodoggone.”

Figure 1. Hi-View Resources’ Junker claims

Junkers is seven claims and 3,473 ha in the northeastern part of the portfolio. The property dates from October 2025, when 1,372 ha of tenure applications were acquired and later registered as four claims. The newly added Junkers, Junker West, and Junker East claims to the north and northeast bring the Junkers occurrence onto the property, and the original four claims cover the southern and southwestern extensions of its stratigraphy and structures (Figure 1).1 The block has the greatest relief in the Company portfolio, rising from 1,300 m to 2,402 m in razor-backed ridges bounded by cliff faces, and is accessed by helicopter-only, about 36 km from Sturdee, 61 km from the Kemess airstrip, and 25 km beyond the road end at Lawyers.

The property is underlain by Lower to Middle Jurassic Hazelton Group marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks, the well-layered volcaniclastic unit that also hosts the Ursus skarn and the Harmon Peak veins, with a small Jurassic granodiorite body in the northeast of the block, at the corner of claim 1129846 and continuing north onto Junker East. The name comes from the Junkers Member of the Toodoggone Formation, the ash-flow tuff and rhyolite-dacite unit mapped at Oxide Summit.

The new claims comprise a 2021 helicopter-borne gradient magnetic survey over the core block that shows two strong anomalies that follow the East and West ridges, attributed in the survey report to the volume of magnetic rock exposed in them rather than to alteration or mineralization. A lineament analysis of the same data suggested a north-northwest-trending element crossing the West Ridge, coincident with the erosional notch that appears to feed the talus fan carrying a high-copper float sample at the occurrence and loosely associated with the anomalous 2004 samples in the West Valley. Elevated potassium and barium in the 2021 samples along that north-northwest trending lineament may indicate hydrothermal alteration. The occurrence itself consists of pyritic quartz veins and stringers carrying copper, lead, and silver with gold, and the 2021 float sample is chalcopyrite-rich.

Exploration began with a 1995 regional silt sample of 175 ppb Au from the creek draining the central basin. The 2004 Stealth Minerals prospecting program discovered the occurrence, a pyritic quartz vein subcrop returning 0.1% Cu and 1.08 g/t Au, with nearby quartz stringers at 0.2% Pb and 8.64 g/t Ag and float between 1 and 4.1 g/t Au.2 Rock samples from the same program in the project database ran 1,734 g/t Ag with 231 ppm Cu and 1,694 g/t Ag with 1.30 g/t Au and 0.88% Pb, with silts to 258 ppm Cu. The 2021 program added the airborne magnetics, reconnaissance mapping, a test line of contour soils and nine float samples from the talus fan, which ran 5.53%, 2.29%, 2.20% and 1.38% Cu with silver to 24 g/t, gold to 0.85 g/t and molybdenum to 104 ppm.3 A 2025 multispectral satellite analysis then picked out the occurrence along with 46 other sites for inspection. During the 2026 exploration program the Company collected 4 grab samples from claim 1129845, 700 metres south of the Junkers mineral showing, where a 30m wide gossanous zone was identified including a prominent fault zone and silica and epidote veinlets with pyrite mineralization in the porphyritic andesite host rock. There has been no drilling or systematic soil sampling, and the southern claims have no sampling on record. Structural mapping and contour sampling at the exposed ends of the West Ridge, and reprocessing of the 2021 magnetics are the recommended next steps.

Terms of the Agreement

The Company has acquired 100% interest in the Property from an arm’s length vendor by issuing 125,000 common shares of the Company, making a $7,500 cash payment. The Property is encumbered by a two percent (2%) net smelter returns royalty which is payable to a previous owner of the Property, the payment of which will be assumed by Hi-View upon completion of the acquisition and will have the right to buy back one percent (1%) of the royalty for C$1,000,000.

Additional Announcements

The Company will issue 400,000 Restricted Share Units (“RSU”) of the Company to Consultants.

Qualified Person’s Statement

The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Nader Mostaghimi, M.Sc., P.Geo. (EGBC #53441), Vice President of Exploration for the Company and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
