Zephyr Minerals announced a private placement of up to 4,000,000 units at $0.05 per unit to fund working capital and permitting for the Dawson Gold Project in Colorado. The company is also progressing environmental studies for a new mining permit application and appealing a rejection of prospecting orders in Zimbabwe.
Viscount Mining Corp. announced high-grade silver and gold drill results from its Silver Cliff Project in Colorado, with step-out drilling confirming mineralization beyond the current Kate Silver Resource limits. Hole K26-08 returned a highlight intercept of 7.9 metres grading 473.2 g/t silver and 2.92 g/t gold, including 1.5 metres of 1,030 g/t silver. The company is using a 15 g/t silver cutoff for evaluation, which highlights broader mineralized zones, and plans a follow-up drill program.
Quantum Helium plans to commence a larger-scale fracture stimulation programme at its Sagebrush-1 well in Colorado during Q4 2026. This follows successful previous tests that confirmed helium-bearing gas at 2.5% and identified commercial oil in the Leadville Formation.
Homeland Uranium Corp. reported high-grade uranium results of up to 1,820 ppm U from a surface sampling program at its Cross Bones Uranium Project in Colorado, confirming mineralization across multiple targets, including a newly discovered East Ridge Showing. The company also received analytical results from 25 drill holes at its Coyote Basin Uranium Project, with most returning low uranium concentrations, except for one intercept of 1.52 m at 67 ppm U. These results strengthen drill targets for an upcoming maiden drill program at Cross Bones.
Metallic Minerals' La Plata project has been selected as one of two initial test systems for the U.S. Department of Energy's Genesis Mission AI research initiative. The project, AGAPEX, aims to develop next-generation AI tools for critical minerals exploration using La Plata's extensive geological database. This collaboration provides the company with access to national-scale computing resources and validates the project's strategic importance.
Metallic Minerals Corp. has completed a $902,916 non-brokered private placement with Newmont Corporation to fund exploration at the La Plata project. The company also announced an updated 2026 NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for La Plata, which now includes platinum, palladium, and gold, expanding the Inferred resource to 181.4 Mt at 0.36% CuEq.
Zephyr Minerals reports the successful completion of the third quarter of its groundwater monitoring program at the Dawson Gold project in Colorado. The company plans to resubmit its mining permit application in January 2027. The release also restates a 2013 Inferred resource and a 2017 PEA, noting that current gold prices significantly enhance project attractiveness.
Viscount Mining Corp. has completed the first phase of its 2026 Silver Cliff drill program in Colorado. The drilling identified a geological corridor linking the Kate and Passiflora areas and observed increasing sulphide intensity, though all results are currently based on visual estimates pending assay confirmation.
American Atomics Inc. has announced the completion of a Mineral Resource Estimate for its 100%-owned Blue Streak Project in Colorado, USA. However, the announcement does not provide specific resource statistics or the primary commodity.
Homeland Uranium has completed a surface exploration program at its 100%-owned Cross Bones Uranium Project in Colorado, leading to the discovery of a new 500m long surface radiometric anomaly, named the East Ridge Showing. The program identified significant radioactivity, with sample readings up to 2200 cps, and has sent 67 samples for geochemical analysis. This new showing was previously undocumented and is considered highly encouraging for the project's exploration potential.
