President Donald Trump loves a deal and few partners have proven more willing or more powerful than Saudi Arabia.

This week, Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman pledged to channel $1 trillion in investments from the oil-rich kingdom into the U.S. 

Trump embraced the announcement as validation of his close ties with Riyadh and proof that international money is eager to flow back into the U.S. economy. Yet beneath the impressive headline figure lies a familiar reality: much of the promised investment exists only on paper, and experts caution that the actual cash flow could take years to materialize.

‘The term investment implies long-term capital, but in this case it really means purchases like aircraft, tanks, even computer chips,’ said Simon Henderson, a senior fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy. ‘And those figures, $600 billion, a trillion, who really knows how accurate they are, or over what time frame?’

‘Perhaps the real story is that Saudi finances are in bad shape,’ added Henderson, who specializes in the Gulf region and energy policy. ‘Oil prices are too low, they need about $100 a barrel, and extravagant spending on prestige projects like The Line and NEOM are being scaled back.’

The Line is a proposed 105-mile car-free city and NEOM is a $500 billion futuristic mega-development on the Red Sea. Both are part of the crown prince’s ‘Vision 2030’ plan to diversify the kingdom’s economy beyond oil.

Others note that Saudi Arabia’s short-term fiscal strains don’t necessarily preclude large-scale investments over time.

‘It’s perfectly within the realm of possibilities that Saudi Arabia could make a $1 trillion investment into the United States over many years,’ explained E.J. Antoni, chief economist at the Heritage Foundation, citing the kingdom’s vast oil wealth and long-term economic ambitions.

Antoni noted that much depends on how such an investment ultimately takes shape. For now, the White House has offered few details about what exactly the Saudi funds would be directed toward or when they might arrive.

‘What does it look like in practice? It could take a whole host of different forms,’ he said. ‘We don’t know yet if this is going to look like an investment in infrastructure and even if it is, in what industry?’

He pointed to petrochemicals as one possible fit but said other sectors could also attract Saudi money.

‘In terms of beneficiaries, clearly you have the American taxpayer, who’s going to benefit from a larger economy,’ Antoni continued. ‘That broadens the tax base and reduces the overall tax burden on each individual. So that’s very, very positive.’

He added that while such deals can stimulate confidence and markets in the short term, their most meaningful returns often unfold over years, well beyond a single presidential term.

‘Most of what President Donald Trump has done is to accrue benefits that will not appear until after he has already left office,’ Antoni told Fox News Digital. 

‘That’s not to say there are no initial gains, there clearly are. Every time another company announces more investment in the United States, it helps buoy the stock market, because equity prices are ultimately based on future earnings and those earnings rise when there’s additional investment coming.’

For now, the pledge bolsters Trump’s economic narrative but also sets up a long-term test of U.S.–Saudi relations, one whose true impact may not be clear for years.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin — who clapped back after House Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett said that he and others had taken money from someone by the name of Jeffrey Epstein — took to social media again after Crockett defended her comments and claimed that she was not seeking to ‘mislead’ anyone.

Zeldin began his Wednesday post on X with an exploding head emoji and then declared, ‘When you find yourself in a hole, it’s best to stop digging.’

‘The public FEC report Crockett referenced on the House floor very clearly states that the Jeffrey Epstein who donated to my past campaign was a physician, and the donation date was well AFTER the [drum emoji] other [drum emoji] Jeffrey [drum emoji] Epstein [drum emoji] WAS [drum emoji] ALREADY [drum emoji] DEAD!!!’ he exclaimed.

The dust-up originated because Crockett, during remarks on Tuesday, listed figures and entities she said had taken money from ‘somebody’ with the name Jeffrey Epstein. Noting that she had her ‘team dig in very quickly,’ she ran through the following list: ‘Mitt Romney, the NRCC, Lee Zeldin, George Bush, WinRed, McCain-Palin, Rick Lazio.’

Zeldin fired back on X, pointing out that the donation was not from the notorious Jeffrey Epstein, but from a completely different individual.

‘Yes Crockett, a physician named Dr. Jeffrey Epstein (who is a totally different person than the other Jeffrey Epstein) donated to a prior campaign of mine,’ Zeldin wrote. ‘NO [clap emoji] FREAKIN [clap emoji] RELATION [clap emoji] YOU [clap emoji] GENIUS!!!’

Meghan McCain, who is the daughter of the late Republican senator and 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain, also fired back at Crockett.

‘My Dad has been dead 7 years @RepJasmine. He never met Jeffrey Epstein, let alone took money from him. The Jeffrey Epstein you are referencing is an entirely different human being. Do you have mashed potatoes for brains, you absolute joke?!’ she wrote in a Wednesday post on X.

When CNN’s Kaitlan Collins confronted Crockett on Wednesday about Zeldin’s Tuesday post that pushed back against the notion that he had accepted a donation from the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the Texas Democrat said that she ‘never said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein.’ 

‘Unlike Republicans, I at least don’t go out and just tell lies,’ she later said.

‘So, number one, I made sure that I was clear that it was a Jeffrey Epstein, but I never said that it was specifically that Jeffrey Epstein,’ Crockett said later during the interview.

Panther Metals Plc (LSE: PALM), the exploration company focused on mineral projects in Canada, is pleased to announce that Platinum Diamond Drilling Inc. (‘Platinum’) has been contracted to undertake the Mineral Resource focussed drilling programme at the Winston Tailings Project in Ontario, Canada.1, 2, 3

The appointment of Platinum follows on from the appointment of SRK Exploration Ltd (‘SRK EX’) as independent consultants to conduct the Mineral Resource estimate (‘MRE’).

The MRE will be one of a series of workstreams to quantify, evaluate and permit the contained high-grade gold (Au), gallium (Ga), silver (Ag), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) and other recoverable minerals located within the historic Winston Lake Mine tailings storage facility (‘TSF’).

Darren Hazelwood, Chief Executive Officer commented:

‘The appointment of a drilling contractor for the Winston Tailings Project marks a pivotal step forward for the Company. This programme is designed to validate the historic recovery production and produce a CIM compliant Mineral Resource estimate, a key milestone in taking the project through the recovery permitting process.

The historical Winston Lake mine processing data indicates that the tailings have the potential to host commodities in quantities significant enough to fundamentally transform our business.

Quantifying the grade and tonnage of recoverable minerals in the TSF will provide a clear pathway to near-term production and meaningful cash flow, supporting our strategy to rapidly advance Winston from an historic asset into a modern, cash-generating operation.

We look forward to updating shareholders as work progresses.’

The MRE programme is an integral part of the process to advance the Winston Tailing Project through permitting towards a cashflow proposition and will be based upon the resource drilling programme, mineralogical and metallurgical testwork and associated studies which will be conducted during winter 2025/26.

Panther is aiming for a seamless transition from MRE to Ore Reserves in as short a time as possible, and it is envisaged that successful outcomes to the tailing MRE, will in turn support the declaration of Ore Reserves following further technical studies. The MRE work will also provide inputs into the Application for Recovery of Minerals Permit (the ‘Recovery Permit’) process as announced 1 September 2025.3, 4

The MRE will be reported in compliance with the standards and best practices set out by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum’s (‘CIM’) for reporting Mineral Resources, Ore Reserves, and related exploration information. This will also facilitate future NI 43-101 reporting, as required.

Background

The Winston Tailings Project entails a series of workstreams to quantify, evaluate and permit the contained high-grade gold (Au), gallium (Ga), silver (Ag), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) and other recoverable minerals located within the historic Winston Lake Mine tailings storage facility. Reprocessing the mine tailings, potentially offers Panther the opportunity to unlock residual metal value and contribute to the long-term environmental rehabilitation of the Winston Project site.1, 2

The Winston Lake Mine was operational from 1988 to 1998, producing approximately 3.3 million tonnes of ore and yielding zinc, copper, silver, and gold. Based on historic recoveries from mining activities in the 1980s and 1990s, it is believed that a significant quantity of valuable material remains in the tailing storage facility.

Obonga Project – Expanding Canada’s Next VMS and Critical Minerals District

Panther Metals’ Obonga Project in Ontario continues to demonstrate significant potential as a leading exploration initiative targeting both base and critical minerals. Since acquiring the Obonga Greenstone Belt in July 2021, the Company has rapidly advanced five high-priority targets: Wishbone, Awkward, Survey, Ottertooth, and Silver Rim.

In June 2024, Panther secured a key Exploration Permit for the Wishbone Prospect, valid through 2027, authorizing extensive drilling and geophysical surveys. Previous campaigns confirmed compelling volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS)-style mineralisation, highlighted by intercepts such as 27.3m of massive sulphide and 51m of sulphide-dominated mineralisation with multiple mineralised lenses. High-grade copper anomalies in lake sediment further enhance the prospectivity of this landmark target.

July 2024 saw Panther awarded an Exploration Permit for Awkward West, supporting an aggressive exploration program including up to 31 drill holes. Historic drilling here revealed notable graphite mineralisation-27.2m at 2.25% Total Graphitic Carbon (TGC) with zones exceeding 5% TGC-alongside promising signs of nickel, copper, and platinum group elements, aligning with Panther’s strategic focus on critical minerals.

Additional exploration efforts include high-resolution magnetic geophysical surveys across key prospects, optimizing drill targeting and advancing the geological model. Survey and Ottertooth remain highly prospective, with multiple magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies and historic intercepts of massive sulphides, many targets still largely untested.

Obonga’s combination of VMS-style base metals and critical mineral potential, situated in a stable and mining-friendly jurisdiction with strong infrastructure, positions Panther Metals to unlock a district-scale mineral system with significant commercial upside.

Dotted Lake Project – Hemlo-Adjacent Gold Opportunity with Growing Momentum

Panther Metals’ Dotted Lake Project, acquired in July 2020, lies just 16km from Barrick Gold’s renowned Hemlo Mine, in one of Canada’s premier gold-producing regions. The project offers a strategically located and scalable gold exploration play.

Initial soil sampling in 2021 identified numerous gold and base metal targets, and subsequent access improvements facilitated an initial drilling program that confirmed gold mineralisation with anomalous values extending along strike.

In early 2025, Panther completed a follow-up campaign featuring detailed geological mapping, trenching, and targeted diamond drilling. These efforts extended mineralisation both laterally and at depth, identified new structural controls, and reinforced the potential for a broader, high-grade gold system. Multiple zones have been prioritised for expanded drilling, underscoring Dotted Lake’s significant upside.

The project’s proximity to established infrastructure and Hemlo’s extensive mining operations, combined with robust recent results, makes Dotted Lake a key asset in Panther’s growth portfolio.

Commercial Strategy – Discovery-Driven Value Creation

Panther Metals is committed to creating substantial shareholder value through focused exploration and disciplined capital management. The Company combines deep geological expertise with an understanding of market and financing dynamics to advance high-potential projects efficiently.

With access to a global network of industry leaders and a rigorous operational focus on drilling, Panther prioritises activities that directly contribute to discovery and resource growth. The drill hole remains the ultimate validation in mineral exploration, and Panther’s strategy is to fast-track world-class targets into drill-ready assets – delivering tangible results that underpin long-term value creation for shareholders.

E-Power Resources Inc. (CSE: EPR) (‘E-Power’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide the results of recently completed metallurgical testwork from the Company’s flagship Tetepisca Flake Graphite Property located in the Innu Nation of Pessamit, North Shore Region of Quebec. The metallurgical testwork was completed at SGS Canada Inc. (‘SGS’).

Highlights

  • Exceptional Metallurgical Results: Achieved 96.7% Flotation Recovery and a 94.8% Ct Concentrate Grade from the Graphi West sample, confirming amenability to producing a high-purity product.

  • Significant Large Flake Recovery: Flake size distribution for the Syndicate concentrate showed approximately 40% medium flake or larger (> 80 mesh), including approximately 22% large flake or larger, a key indicator of high-value product potential.

  • High Resource Grade Potential: High grade bulk samples from three distinct mineralized zones have been tested: the Captain Cosmos Target (32.7% Cg), the Syndicate Target (25.0% Cg), and the Graphi West target (15.3% Cg).

Jamie Lavigne, COO for E-Power commented: ‘The metallurgical test work is the first completed on the Company’s Tetepisca property and was designed as a scoping-level evaluation of graphite recovery. The results demonstrate the potential for flake graphite mineralization on the Tetepisca property to yield a high value concentrate with composition and flake size characteristics meeting commercial specifications. These results, and the results of additional test work planned, will provide a basis for prioritizing targets on our large position for delineation and resource estimation.’

Metallurgical Test Results Summary

Samples from the Syndicate, Graphi West, and Captain Cosmos targets were tested. The objective was a scoping-level evaluation of flotation potential with a flow sheet target concentrate grade was 95% Ct. Particle size analyses were completed on the final concentrates.

Angkor Resources Corp.

GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA TheNewswire – (Nov. 20, 2025): Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK,OTC:ANKOF) (‘ANGKOR’ OR ‘THE COMPANY’) announces further analysis, assays, and conclusions on the drill core from Andong Bor license in Oddar Meanchey Cambodia.

Dennis Ouellette, VP Exploration for Angkor, with associate geologists has reviewed the Andong Bor drill core from historical drilling with the most recently 2025 drilled holes 009 and 010.  The two new holes (ABDDH25 -009, -010), of which 009 was substantially deeper, has sections of drill core, roughly from 245 metres to 316 metres in which mineralization with abundant pyrite and chalcopyrite was observed.

Previously, in late 2022, analysis was based only on core drilled by a different company. (see  press release ANGKOR CONFIRMS 108 METRES OF 0.53% COPPER EQUIVALENT AT ANDONG BOR, CAMBODIA | Angkor Resources Corp. )The 2025 drill core from both holes is being logged in detail and cut for sampling purposes.

Further conclusions from the analysis indicate that the structural relationship between the intrusive rock and the host sedimentary rock was not revealed in the previous drilling (ADBDH16-005, -006, -007, -008) as all the contacts were faulted or there was poor core recovery at those sites.

Figure 2 Drill core marked for cutting (see pink lines on core at bottom of picture).

Mr. Ouellette summarizes findings, ‘The best copper mineralization in Andong Bor diamond drill core is hosted by the sedimentary rocks. The diorite (coarse-grained rock) feldspar porphyry intrusive rocks can host low grade copper porphyry-style mineralization, such as ‘B’ and ‘D’ style veins and disseminations. However, in proximity to the highly reactive wallrock (where the intrusive rock is surrounded by the sedimentary rock), the assay values increase dramatically.’

He continues with other conclusions, ‘ The contacts where sedimentary rock and intrusive rock have met are very steep – from 70 to 80 degrees. Mineralization within the sediments is both disseminated and along fractures parallel to these contacts. This implies significant ground preparation (probably with magma or similar catalysts) prior to mineralization.   The sedimentary (country) rock was heavily fractured, so when the intrusion and mineralization events occurred, they followed the pre-existing fractures.  Knowing this impacts the design of our continuation of the drill program in a manner which we expect will result in both shallower and increased mineralized intercepts.’

Assays will be forwarded to ALS when all core cutting is completed and plans for continuation of drilling extend into 2026.

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance were not invited to the funeral for former Vice President Dick Cheney, Fox News has confirmed.

Cheney’s funeral is scheduled for mid-morning on Thursday at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. It is traditional for sitting U.S. presidents to attend funerals for past presidents and vice presidents, but Trump has had a uniquely poor relationship with Cheney’s family in recent years. News of the president’s exclusion was first reported by Axios.

Cheney’s daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., helped lead the House investigation into Trump’s role in the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Both Liz and her father endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential campaign.

The elder Cheney, who went from the plains of Casper, Wyoming, to a decades-long public career as a Republican congressman, Defense secretary, White House chief of staff and one of the most powerful American vice presidents ever, died at age 84 earlier this month.

‘Richard B. Cheney, the 46th Vice President of the United States, died last night, November 3, 2025. He was 84 years old. His beloved wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members were with him as he passed,’ his family said in a statement obtained by Fox News. ‘The former Vice President died due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.’

‘For decades, Dick Cheney served our nation, including as White House Chief of Staff, Wyoming’s Congressman, Secretary of Defense, and Vice President of the United States,’ the statement continued.

‘Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing,’ his family said. ‘We are grateful beyond measure for all Dick Cheney did for our country. And we are blessed beyond measure to have loved and been loved by this noble giant of a man.’

Cheney had a long history of cardiac problems, including five heart attacks. He received a heart transplant on March 24, 2012, at a Virginia hospital after nearly 21 months on a waiting list.

Dick Cheney dead at 84

Cheney, who served as vice president for two terms under President George W. Bush, was one of the most powerful and controversial men ever to hold that position. He was a driving force behind America’s ‘war on terror,’ including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is demanding specifics from a group of congressional Democrats who urged military service members to ‘refuse illegal orders.’

Graham sent letters to a cohort of congressional Democrats, all with backgrounds in the military or intelligence community, featured in a now-viral video where they urge service members to refuse illegal orders.

The six lawmakers featured in the video were Sens. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., and Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., along with Reps. Maggie Goodlander, D-N.H.; Jason Crow, D-Colo.; Chris Deluzio, D-Pa.; and Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa.

They reiterated the lines, ‘You can refuse illegal orders,’ or ‘You must refuse illegal orders,’ as they went on to charge that service members do not have to carry out orders from higher-ups that they believe violate the Constitution.

Notably, none of the lawmakers dove into which orders they believed were illegal in the video.

Graham, who served three decades in the Air Force and worked as an Air Force Judge Advocate General (JAG), wrote in six letters to each of the lawmakers that he took ‘the issue of unlawful orders very seriously.’

‘I cannot find a single example of an illegal order during this administration, but as a Member of Congress, I believe you owe it to the country to be specific as to which orders you believe are unlawful,’ Graham said.

‘However, to say that I am disturbed by your video encouraging service members and Intelligence Community professionals to refuse ‘unlawful orders’ is an understatement,’ he continued. ‘In that regard, could you please provide clarity on what orders, issued by President Trump or those in his chain of command, you consider illegal?’

The video, and Graham’s letters, come on the heels of rising questions among lawmakers about the legality of President Donald Trump’s authorization of strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean, and in the wake of the administration’s deployment of the National Guard to blue cities across the country.

Members of the military have an obligation to follow lawful orders from their superiors, but they can ignore orders deemed illegal, according to the Uniform Code of Military Justice — the standardized military justice system enacted in 1951.

When asked to get into specifics, Slotkin’s office pointed Fox News Digital to an interview the senator had with TMZ, where she explained that the video was made in response to service members ‘reaching out to us saying, ‘I don’t know what to do if the commander in chief orders me to do something that is illegal.’’

Slotkin, who was a CIA officer, said service members aren’t ‘trained in police techniques. They’re not trained in arresting, detaining American citizens, crowd control, raids on homes, and they were worried that they could be asked to do those things, that protests could get bad in a place like Chicago, and they could be asked to do these things.’

Fox News Digital reached out for comment from Kelly, Crow, Houlahan, Goodlander and Deluzio but did not immediately hear back.

Critical Mineral Resources plc (“CMR”, “Company”) is delighted to announce the arrival of its diamond core drilling rig at Agadir Melloul, marking a major step forward that puts the project in an excellent position to accelerate drilling activity. The team is now focused on commissioning the rig as quickly as possible, with the first bore hole expected to be drilled during the first half of December.

Highlights

The Company’s fully refurbished Discovery HD track-mounted diamond core drill has arrived at Agadir Melloul. Some important features:

  • Fitted with brand new Caterpillar 308E steel tracks for rapid moves between drill pads
  • Compact, robust design with a heavy-duty telescopic mast and powerful hoisting winch capable of pulling the complete drill string from the ground and pulling in 20 ft sections
  • Drilling depth capacity of 1400m NQ (47.6mm core), 876m HQ (63.5mm core)
  • Delivered with new consumable parts such as jaws, bushings and comprehensive remote site spares kit to minimise risk of downtime

The rig is expected to be operational during the first half of December, almost immediately doubling our drilling capacity.

Charlie Long CEO commented:

“It has been quite a journey for our Discovery HD rig and its arrival represents an important milestone for the project. The rig has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment and is effectively as good as new. With proper care, we expect it to deliver consistent performance for the next decade and provide significant per metre cost savings.

Multi Power, the manufacturer, was extremely supportive, generously installing a brand new feed cylinder, instead of resealing the original, replacing key components including foot clamp, and completely stripping and professionally repainting the mast. New Cat 308E tracks were also sourced and installed to ensure maximum efficiency.

The additional refurbishment and some shipping complications meant the rig arrived later than originally planned. It is a testament to our team on the ground, and the advantages of operating in Morocco, that once we knew of the delay, we were quickly able to secure the services of a trusted drilling contractor who began work immediately, ensuring that progress continued uninterrupted.

We are now carefully unpacking and inspecting all components, and with our newly appointed drill operator already in place, the team is ready to commission and bring the rig into operation without delay. The arrival of our rig puts us in an excellent position to significantly accelerate drilling and to advance on all fronts, simultaneously drilling both the sedimentary copper deposit and the exciting new Rhyolite discovery.

We look forward to seeing the Discovery HD drill its first holes in the first half of December”.

The width refers to drill hole intercepts; true width cannot be determined due to the uncertain geometry of mineralization.

GS2510 had a planned depth of 600m but reached only 492.9m due to difficult drilling conditions. In the target zone, the hole intersected 1.49g/t Au over 32.5m at a depth of 425.8m. GS2513 and GS2521 were both infill holes and part of the 10-hole groundwater investigation program conducted to measure the hydraulic properties of lithologies within the potential proposed pit volume (i.e., schist, granodiorite, and tonalite) through packer testing. The results will provide hydraulic conductivities to inform the conceptual hydrogeologic model and help estimate dewatering needs. Vibrating Wire Piezometers (VWPs) were installed in these 8 of these holes to measure groundwater levels within the potential pit area, including vertical and horizontal gradients, to identify potential fault-block compartmentalization, and to monitor long-term groundwater levels. VWP depths were chosen to target various schist units, granodiorite, and tonalite in each hole.

GS2513 intersected higher-grade mineralization closer to surface, with 1.43g/t Au over 24.3m from 35.7m. It was also planned for a depth of 600m but was terminated at 448m due to difficult conditions. GS2521 intersected 1.7g/t Au over 70.1m at 259m and an additional 1.29g/t Au at 535.5m; however, the hole was lost in the mineralized zone before reaching the planned depth of 700m.

The width refers to drill hole intercepts; true width cannot be determined due to the uncertain geometry of mineralization.

GS2518 was drilled to a depth of 656.2m, but was initially planned to 700m. The hole was lost due to difficult ground conditions, but it still demonstrates the continuity of mineralization. GS2518 was also a hydrological hole. G2526 intersected several zones, with a higher-grade zone closer to the surface of 1.26 g/t Au over 16.4m from a depth of 37.5m, and a broad zone of 0.90 g/t Au over 182.9m from 386.2m. GS2526 lies within the projected potential starter pit area. These results suggest strong mineralization near the surface, which could enhance the economic viability of the starter pit area and support further exploration efforts.

GS2519, GS2522 and GS2525 – WOW Zone
GS2519, GS2522 and GS2525 were all drilled within the WOW Zone. All three holes intersected significant zones of over 1.0 g/t Au mineralization, continuing to validate the WOW Zone’s potential to host higher-grade mineralization. GS2519 one of the most western holes drilled in the WOW zone and returned 1.08g/t Au over 110.7m from a depth of 365m.  The hole encountered several other zones over 1.0 g/t Au at depth, including 1.65g/t Au over 54m from 404m, and a further 1.44 g/t Au over 18m from 617m. These intercepts indicate strong mineralization potential to depth and continue to support our ongoing resource model.  GS2522 intersected 1.44 g/t Au over 22.5m from 4.5m, and several other narrower zones of plus 1 g/t Au, again demonstrating the potential of this exciting zone. GS2525 (section 478600), demonstrates the potential to expand the current mineralized envelope with infill drilling. Mineralization in the WOW Zone remains open to depth and along strike to the west and southwest.

Metallurgical Update
Metallurgical test work continues to validate the understanding of the potential process flowsheet for the Golden Summit material. As part of these ongoing studies, an expanded Master Composite of Golden Summit drill core assay rejects has been created and is a primary focus of the ongoing metallurgical test program being conducted at BaseMet Labs in Kamloops, BC.

The Master Composite consists of assay reject material from 12 drill holes based on multiple continuous intervals in each hole above cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t gold Au subject to a minimum mining thickness of 6m. A total of 1,500kg of material has been blended with the intention of processing through a pilot plant to produce sufficient mass of sulphide concentrate upon which to carry out further optimization test work of the three oxidation processes, which have delivered excellent results to date. Pressure Oxidation (POX), BiOx and Albion Process™ testing will continue to be applied to Golden Summit concentrate to enable trade-off studies in the Pre-Feasibility Study (‘PFS’).

The drill holes which have been used in the Master Composite are:

GS2167, GS2168, GS2201, GS2203, GS2206, GS2207, GS2208, GS2209, GS2438.  GS2439 .GS2440, GS2441 –(see below link for hole locations)

A total of six tests, each comprised of 20kg of the Master Composite material incorporating gravity recovery, followed by locked-cycle flotation and cleaner flotation to produce a clean sulphide concentrate, have been completed. The mass of the cleaner concentrate is approximately 4.6% of the total feed. The cleaner concentrate was subsequently treated with Albion Process™., and the Carbon-In-Leach response of the Albion Process™ residue was excellent, with over 97% of the gold contained in the cleaner concentrate being recovered by standard CIL techniques. The net overall gold recovery from the feed material was 93.9%.

Ongoing Program
The 2025 program is advancing steadily.  In addition to this year’s extensive drilling, other activities supporting the initiation of a Pre-Feasibility Study—such as cultural resource assessments, paleontology, groundwater analysis, and mamma habitat studies—are still underway.

Since 2020, the Golden Summit project has become one of North America’s largest undeveloped gold resources. The significant increase in resource ounces and grade is the result of targeted drilling campaigns from 2020 to 2024 (over 130,000 meters), ongoing improvements to geological models, and a better understanding of mineralization controls. Positive metallurgical test results have also advanced the project. Ongoing drilling has continued to delineate zones of higher-grade mineralization and to convert previously considered waste areas into potentially economically viable mineralized zones. Continued westward expansion has resulted in the discovery of new higher-grade zones, increasing both indicated gold resources and grades.

Overall gold recovery rates exceeding 90% have been achieved using a flowsheet consisting of gravity concentration, flotation to produce a cleaner concentrate, subsequently treated with sulphide-oxidizing techniques, including BIOX®,POX, and the Albion Process™, producing feed to carbon-in-leach for additional gold recovery from the concentrate.

As of July 2025, the current Golden Summit resource includes an Indicated Primary Mineral Resource of 17.2 million ounces at 1.24 g/t Au and an Inferred Primary Mineral Resource of 11.9 million ounces at 1.04 g/t Au, calculated using a 0.5 g/t cut-off grade and a gold price of $2,490 three-year trailing average gold price. A significant number of assay results remain pending.

Drilling is expected to continue until mid-December and resume in February 2026. Results from the 2025 drilling campaign will provide the basis for an updated mineral resource estimate, which will support the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS).

Update on Shorty Creek
Freegold and Gold Range were unable to reach an agreement on suitable commercial terms, and the lease for the Shorty Creek project has therefore been terminated.   As we enter this transformational period for Freegold, we believe our attention is best focused on Golden Summit.  Accordingly, Freegold’s exploration and development efforts will focus on the highly prospective Golden Summit Project as it advances the project through pre-feasibility over the coming year.

QA/QC
HQ Core is logged, photographed and cut in half using a diamond saw, and one-half placed in sealed bags for preparation and subsequent geochemical analysis by MSA Laboratories in Fairbanks, Alaska or ALS’s facilities in Vancouver and Thunder Bay.  At MSALABS, the entire sample will be dried and crushed to 70% passing -2mm (CRU-CPA). A ~500g riffle split was analyzed for gold using CHRYSOS PhotonAssay™ (CPA-Au1). From this, 250g will be further riffle split from the original PhotonAssay™ sample, pulverized, and a 0.25g sub-sample analysed for multi-element geochemistry using MSA’s IMS230 package, which includes 4-acid digestion and ICP-MS finish. MSALABS operates under ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 9001 certified quality systems.

Core samples were delivered to ALS’s facility in Vancouver, Canada, where each sample was crushed to 70% passing a 2 mm (Tyler 9 mesh, U.S. Std. No. 10) screen.  A representative ~500 g subsample was obtained by riffle splitting (SPL-32a) and analyzed for gold using ALS method Au-PA01, which provides a detection range of 0.03 to 350 ppm, in Thunder Bay.

In addition, a subsample was analyzed for multi-element geochemistry using ALS method ME-ICP61 (34-element, four-acid ICP-AES).

A QA/QC program includes laboratory and field standards inserted every ten samples. Blanks are inserted at the start of the submittal, and at least one blank every 25 standards.
