Iran pushes for fast trials and executions of suspects detained in protests despite Trump’s warning: report

No Comments

Despite President Donald Trump’s warnings, Iran’s chief justice called for fast trials and executions of suspects detained in the ongoing anti-government demonstrations, a report said Wednesday. 

The remarks from Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei come as the death toll in the protests has risen to at least 2,571, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency said. Other reports say the death toll is more than 3,000, with the real number likely to be even higher. 

‘If we want to do a job, we should do it now. If we want to do something, we have to do it quickly,’ Mohseni-Ejei said in a video shared by Iranian state television, according to The Associated Press. ‘If it becomes late, two months, three months later, it doesn’t have the same effect. If we want to do something, we have to do that fast.’ 

Trump warned Iran about executions in an interview with CBS News that aired on Tuesday.

‘We will take very strong action,’ Trump said. ‘If they do such a thing, we will take very strong action.’ 

‘We don’t want to see what’s happening in Iran happen. And you know, if they want to have protests, that’s one thing, when they start killing thousands of people, and now you’re telling me about hanging — we’ll see how that works out for them. It’s not going to work out good,’ the president added. 

Trump also vowed on Tuesday that those responsible for killing anti-regime demonstrators will ‘pay a big price.’ 

‘Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING — TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!’ Trump wrote on Truth Social. ‘Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price.’

‘I have canceled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY,’ he added. 

Fox News’ Anders Hagstrom and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Senate GOP moves to block Dems’ war powers push, preserve Trump’s authority in rare move

No Comments

Senate Republicans are mulling an arcane move that, if successful, would kill the bipartisan push to rein in President Donald Trump’s war authority in Venezuela.

The Senate is a chamber that lives and dies by procedure. It guides how bills are considered and how senators speak on the floor, and Republicans hope that a procedure once used by Senate Democrats will work in their favor to nullify Sen. Tim Kaine’s, D-Va., war powers resolution.

Republicans are considering making a point of order to table the resolution and argue that because there are no troops on the ground in Venezuela, nor active combat involving U.S. forces, Kaine’s bid is moot.

But whether Republicans can muster support to kill the resolution with the rare move remains to be seen. Five Senate Republicans broke ranks to advance the war powers push last week, and the point of order can pass or fail by a simple 50-vote majority.

When asked if the votes were there to effectively turn off the bipartisan push, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said, ‘Uncertain.’

Still, Thune made the case that the resolution was likely not germane and able to be turned off, because no actual fighting was happening in Venezuela.

‘I think that it’s pretty clear, in my view at least, that there are no hostilities that exist today, which, as I’ve suggested before, to me at least means that shouldn’t be accorded privilege on the floor, that expedited consideration on the floor for something that doesn’t exist at the moment,’ Thune said. ‘But nevertheless it’s all about the votes.’

Senate Democrats made the same argument successfully in 2024 against a war powers resolution from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. That push was geared toward ending U.S. involvement with the operation of a floating pier off the coast of Gaza.

Kaine’s resolution is more forward-looking, however, and if passed, would require that Congress have oversight authority over future military action in Venezuela. The Trump administration has reiterated that there are no boots on the ground in the country and made assurances to several Senate Republicans that no future military action is planned after the success of Operation Absolute Resolve.

Whether Republicans can actually kill the resolution before it ever reaches a final vote and possibly a lengthy marathon amendment process known as a ‘vote-a-rama,’ will ultimately be a test of Senate GOP leadership’s and the White House’s lobbying abilities to flip the five Republicans who pushed back against Trump.

But Trump’s repeated attacks against the cohort of Republicans who sided with Senate Democrats could backfire and see the resolution pass.

Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Todd Young, R-Indiana, Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., will all be under a microscope on Wednesday.

Collins reaffirmed on Tuesday that she was still in favor of the war powers resolution, and Paul, who is a co-sponsor of the legislation, is unlikely to budge.

A source told Fox News Digital that Hawley, however, flipped his position on the matter and would support the point of order after getting assurances from Trump officials that no boots would be on the ground in the country.

House GOP launches probe into alleged climate group influence on federal judges

No Comments

The House Judiciary Committee has opened an investigation into whether a climate law group is improperly influencing federal judges on environment-related cases.

Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the panel’s subcommittee on Courts, sent four letters to varying judicial groups and lawyers asking for more information on communications with the Environmental Law Institute.

‘The Committee on the Judiciary is investigating allegations of improper attempts by the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) and its Climate Judiciary Project (CJP) to influence federal judges. Public reports have documented concerns around apparent efforts by ELI and CJP to influence judges who potentially may be presiding over lawsuits related to alleged climate change claims,’ the letter to the Judicial Conference of the United States (JCUS) read.

‘These efforts appear to have the underlying goal of predisposing federal judges in favor of plaintiffs alleging injuries from the manufacturing, marketing, use, or sale of fossil-fuel products.’

Jordan and Issa argued that existing JCUS policy acknowledged risks of allowing privately funded education programs to distribute material to courts, but that its policy was also ‘leaving the door open for groups like ELI and CJP to exert influence through program content and contact between judges and those who litigate before them.’

A separate letter to David Bookbinder, director of law and policy at the Environmental Integrity Project, alleged that ‘evidence has emerged that raises questions about whether ELI, CJP, or one or more of its ‘experts’ coordinated with you on judicial training materials while you simultaneously litigated climate-related cases pending before federal courts.’

Jordan and Issa charged that Bookbinder had ‘pre-publication access and provided peer review’ for documents prepared for ELI while he was representing the Boulder County, Colo., Board of County Commissioners in a climate change-related lawsuit. They noted that he’s no longer the board’s lawyer, however.

‘In other words, this document seems to suggest that at the same time you were representing a private party in climate-related litigation, you were also helping to develop climate-related training materials for federal (and state) judges,’ the letter said.

A third letter to the Federal Judicial Center noted that while both climate groups say they provide impartial information for judges, Republicans believe those materials ‘appear to be designed to bias judges in climate-related cases.’

‘The materials that ELI and CJP used at judicial seminars are generally not made public, which itself is a cause for concern,’ the third letter said. ‘The limited portions of CJP’s ‘Climate Science and Law for Judges Curriculum’ that are publicly available seem designed to improperly influence judges in favor of plaintiffs.’

ELI is a nonprofit promoting climate science-based policy across academic, public, and legal spheres.

CJP is a project within ELI specifically aimed at creating curricula for ‘judicial education,’ according to its website.

Fox News Digital reached out to ELI and the four letter recipients for comment.

Hillary, Bill Clinton stare down criminal contempt charges after defying House subpoenas in Epstein probe

No Comments

Hillary and Bill Clinton are both now risking possible criminal charges after defying subpoenas to appear before the House Oversight Committee.

Hillary Clinton was compelled to sit for a sworn deposition behind closed doors on Wednesday morning as part of the House’s bipartisan probe into Jeffrey Epstein.

However, the former secretary of state refused to appear, and the House Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings, a source familiar told Fox News Digital.

She was expected to skip the meeting after her and former President Bill Clinton’s attorneys wrote to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., arguing the subpoenas were not legally enforceable.

A committee aide said earlier that the committee would initiate contempt of Congress proceedings ‘in the coming days’ if she did not appear. Comer is already moving forward with contempt proceedings against Bill Clinton.

The lawyers’ letter argued Comer’s subpoenas were ‘invalid and legally unenforceable, untethered to a valid legislative purpose, unwarranted because they do not seek pertinent information, and an unprecedented infringement on the separation of powers.’

It also compared Comer’s leadership of the probe to Joseph McCarthy’s 1950s-era abuse of congressional power, while pointing out that President Donald Trump has publicly called for the federal government to look into Bill Clinton’s Epstein ties.

‘Mindful of these defects, we trust you will engage in good faith to de-escalate this dispute,’ the letter said.

Comer told reporters Tuesday that he read the letter but suggested his probe would be undeterred.

The former president similarly skipped his own scheduled deposition on Tuesday, prompting Comer to say his panel would move ahead with advancing a contempt of Congress resolution against him next week.

Such resolutions need to advance through the relevant committees before being considered in a House-wide vote.

It’s then up to the Department of Justice (DOJ) on whether to pursue the resulting criminal referral if a majority of House lawmakers vote to make it.

Contempt of Congress charges are a misdemeanor that carry up to a year in jail and a maximum fine of $100,000.

Former Trump advisors Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro were notably charged and convicted of contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas by the now-defunct select committee on the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

The former first couple were two of 10 people subpoenaed by Comer as part of the panel’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The subpoenas were issued following a bipartisan vote by an Oversight subcommittee panel during an unrelated hearing on illegal immigration.

DHS funding fight drives Senate scramble to avoid government shutdown

No Comments

The Senate is rumbling toward a likely successful vote on a package of three funding bills, but it’s what comes next that some lawmakers are worried about.

The upper chamber is expected to pass a three-bill funding package, known as a minibus, later this week. That would bring the total number of funding bills passed by Congress to six.

But it’s halfway to the magic dozen that are needed to fund the government, and one bill in particular is giving lawmakers heartburn on their quest to avoid another government shutdown.

Among the annual spending bills is the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations bill, which has become a political lightning rod in the wake of Renee Nicole Good’s death in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)-related shooting.

Some Senate Democrats want to use it to leverage more oversight at DHS, specifically for ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

That sticky wicket could cause the bill to never actually come to the floor — it was nixed from a recently released spending package from the House earlier this week. That means it could land in a short-term funding extension, known as a continuing resolution (CR).

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., acknowledged just how difficult that bill was to advance, even under more typical circumstances, and predicted that it could lead to a CR to keep the government open.

‘Homeland is obviously the hardest one, and it’s possible that, if we can’t get agreement, that there could be some sort of a CR that funds some of these bills into next year,’ Thune said.

While Thune remained hopeful that, over the next three weeks, Congress could pass the remaining spending bills, the reality of the discourse regarding the DHS bill is now front and center in the simmering spending fight.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has made clear that neither he nor Senate Democrats want to usher in another government shutdown. But when asked if there would be restrictions to DHS and ICE agents baked into the DHS funding bill, Schumer said, ‘The appropriators are working on that right now. The four corners are trying to come up with an agreement.’

‘As I said, that’s one of the major issues that the appropriators are confronting right now before the bill comes up,’ Schumer said.

There is also resistance to a CR among some Democrats, who argue that an extension would only benefit President Donald Trump, given that it would keep funding levels and priorities the same from the previous fiscal year without their thumbprints on updated appropriations.

Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said on the Senate floor that a short-term funding extension was effectively a ‘slush fund’ for Trump and Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought to use and abuse, but lauded the efforts from both sides of the aisle to push forward with funding bills.

That’s because the bipartisan legislation in the upper chamber includes Democratic funding priorities, a key negotiating point after the administration slashed congressionally approved funding last year.

‘That is why, right now, it is so important that we end that slush fund authority and reassert our power as lawmakers by passing these full-year spending bills that specify exactly how funds are to be spent just as we had always done until last year,’ Murray said.

But, unlike in September, it appears that neither side is ready to careen the government into a shutdown once more.

Still, time is running out, and the Senate is set to leave Washington, D.C., for a weeklong recess by the end of this week while the House processes another smaller funding package. That two-bill effort still won’t be enough to keep the lights on, however.

‘I don’t think there’s going to be [a shutdown],’ Thune said, ‘And I say this because I think on both sides, I’ve said this before, not new information. I think government shutdowns are stupid. I don’t think anybody wins. And, I hope the Democrats share that view. And if they do, right now, at least the appropriations process is moving forward.’

Dem senators ripped for reversing Venezuela stance after Trump captured Maduro: ‘Politics at its worst’

No Comments

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., has been criticized over her shifting stance on Venezuela and its fallen president Nicolás Maduro after she supported military action to take out Maduro and ‘delegitimizing’ the Venezuelan government in 2019, but condemned the Trump administration for trying ‘to ‘run’ another country.’

In 2019, when running for president, Klobuchar advocated for using the military to remove Maduro and help establish a democracy in Venezuela, saying, ‘I’m also glad that we’re trying to push Maduro out. But the answer here is to make sure that we are working with our allies, pushing for democracy and some kind of a negotiated agreement. Military should always be on the table.’

Meanwhile, on another occasion in 2019, Klobuchar again endorsed American involvement in bringing democracy to Venezuela, saying she, ‘of course supported bringing in the new president and delegitimizing the Maduro government,’ and ‘You always leave things on the table,’ when asked about U.S. intervention.

‘Democrats like Klobuchar and Schumer spent years demanding the removal of dictator Nicolás Maduro. Now that President Trump has actually done it, they suddenly oppose the outcome. The Democratic Party has entered the terminal phase of Trump Derangement Syndrome,’ said Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn. 

‘Washington politics at its worst, says one thing to her pals in the media but turns her back on our brave military after they put their lives on the line,’ added ‘Ruthless’ podcast host John Ashbrook. 

‘It’s sad but not surprising that a committed ideologue like Amy Klobuchar is unable to give credit where credit is due for President Trump’s removal of Nicolás Maduro. The socialist regime of Venezuela drove one of the most energy-rich countries in the world into ruin, his citizens into poverty and served as a Western Hemisphere stalking horse for China, Iran, Russia and others who wish us harm,’ said longtime Republican strategist Colin Reed. ‘Not only do Venezuelans have a renewed sense of hope, but America is stronger on the world stage. Global politics used to stop at the water’s edge, but for Amy Klobuchar, partisan politics is priority one.’

The White House has called out a lengthy list of other high-profile Senate Democrats besides Klobuchar for allegedly once demanding Maduro’s capture but now ‘mourn[ing] his capture.’

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was among those slammed by the White House for going from blasting Trump for failing to dislodge a ‘more powerful’ and ‘more entrenched’ Maduro to calling Trump’s Maduro arrest ‘reckless’ and stoking fear about consequences. 

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., according to Trump, went from pledging sustained support to help Venezuelans rebuild what has been lost under Maduro, to criticizing Trump’s unilateral use of military force and warning about intervention. 

Chris Van Hollen is described by the White House as moving from urging the U.S. to ‘ratchet up the pressure’ for a negotiated transition to labeling any move to replace Maduro an ‘illegal act of war.’

Fox News Digital reached out to Klobuchar for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.

What the alleged ‘sonic weapon’ used in Venezuela may actually have been

No Comments

Claims that a mysterious ‘sonic weapon’ was used in Venezuela have fueled speculation about exotic U.S. military technology and its potential effects on the human body.

One eyewitness account from a Venezuelan guard, shared on social media by White Hosue press secretary Karoline Leavitt, claimed the weapon brought Venezuelan and Cuban security forces to their knees, ‘bleeding through their nose’ and vomiting blood. 

While the Trump administration has not confirmed what weapon, if any, may have been used, defense experts point to a well-known acoustic device that has been in use for years. 

Known as a long-range acoustic device, it’s been described as the ‘voice of God,’ according to Mark Cancian, a retired Marine lieutenant colonel and senior adviser for the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

The device deploys a directed, short-range ‘cone of sound.’ 

‘It’s not like a microphone, you know, where everybody’s neighborhood, it’s only within this cone,’ said Cancian. 

U.S. operators may have deployed it as they were landing on the ground in Caracas, Venezuela, as a way to disorient security forces and warn them to drop their weapons.  

LRADs can project spoken commands at intense volumes or emit a loud, piercing tone designed to get attention and deter movement. At close range, the sound can be painful and disorienting, and in extreme cases can damage hearing or rupture eardrums, but the devices are not designed to cause lasting physical harm.

It can cause pain and temporary disorientation, and can cause ruptured eardrums, but is not designed to inflict long-term damage. 

U.S. forces used them for crowd control in Iraq when Iraqis got too close to U.S. military installments, according to Cancian. 

The devices can reach up to 140 decibels of sound. The intensity drops quickly with distance and angle. This is why operators can stand nearby but outside the beam.

Other defense analysts say the account raises questions that go beyond conventional acoustic devices.

For decades, the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, has studied nonlethal technologies intended to temporarily incapacitate adversaries without causing permanent injury. Publicly available research has explored acoustic and electromagnetic effects designed to overwhelm the senses, disrupt balance or motor control, and render targets briefly unable to fight or maneuver.

Can Kasapoglu, a defense analyst at the Hudson Institute, said such research has fueled speculation about more advanced incapacitation systems, but stressed there is no public evidence any experimental DARPA technology was used in Venezuela. 

‘There are some non-lethal technologies that DARPA has been working on, including acoustic weapon systems, sound waves, and also some neurological weapon systems that do not kill, but cause an unbearable sensation that you feel that you simply become inoperable in the battlefield,’ he said. 

While the symptoms described in the post shared by Leavitt are unverified, ‘they align closely with examples of DARPA research.’

The White House and Pentagon did not respond to a request for comment.

In addition to the reported sound offense, the U.S. launched a cyberattack that knocked out communications systems as operators were landing in Caracas, Venezuela. 

‘It was dark, the lights of Caracas were largely turned off due to a certain expertise that we have, it was dark, and it was deadly,’ Trump previously said. 

‘We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation,’ the local guard said in the account shared by Leavitt. ‘The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react.’

Once operators were on the ground, ‘At one point, they launched something; I don’t know how to describe it,’ he said. ‘It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside.’

The effects were extreme, according to the guard. 

‘We all started bleeding from the nose,’ he said. ‘Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon — or whatever it was.’

The physical effects described by the guard go well beyond what experts say LRADs are known to cause. 

Vomiting blood, in particular, is not a typical reaction to acoustic exposure, raising questions about whether the account exaggerates the effects, misattributes their cause, or reflects a different factor entirely.

Experts caution that while directional acoustic devices are real and widely used, there is no publicly known ‘sonic weapon’ capable of producing the extreme injuries described — and no official confirmation that any such system was used in Venezuela.

Venezuela’s interior minister Diosdado Cabello said 100 people were killed in the Maduro operation. Cuba has said 32 members of its security forces, which were guarding Maduro, were killed in the operation. 

Seven U.S. service members were injured in the operation but none were killed.

Finlay Mineral’s ATTY 2025 Exploration Program Delivers Expanded and Multiple New Targets

No Comments

finlay minerals ltd. (TSXV: FYL,OTC:FYMNF) (OTCQB: FYMNF) (‘Finlay’ or the ‘Company’) announces that the 2025 ATTY exploration program expanded known targets and identified further new copper (‘Cu’) and gold (‘Au’) porphyry targets. The ATTY Project, is strategically centered within a major porphyry corridor in the Toodoggone district and is under an Earn-In Agreement with Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Canada Inc. (‘Freeport ‘) (1). Refer to Figure 1 ATTY Porphyry Corridor within the Toodoggone District.

Finlay Minerals Ltd. logo (CNW Group/Finlay Minerals Ltd.)

Highlights from the 2025 ATTY Exploration Program include:

  • Expanding the Wrich Cu-Au porphyry target to a 1,200 meter x 1,200 meter area.
  • Discovering the new Wrich Hill Au target.
  • Discovering the new Pyramid West and Pyramid East Cu-Au porphyry targets.
  • Further extending the Valley chargeability target by 500 meters (‘m’) to the southeast.
  • Adding geological and geophysical definition to the porphyry corridor targets within the ATTY Property.

Ilona B. Lindsay, Finlay’s President & CEO states:

‘We are very pleased with the results of our 2025 ATTY program and are moving forward with planning for 2026. The expansion of our known targets, along with the discovery of multiple new targets has reinforced ATTY’s significant position between Freeport-AMARC’s Joy Property with its AuRORA discovery and Centerra Gold’s expanding Kemess Project. Through a systematic exploration approach, supported by Freeport’s funding, Finlay is effectively demonstrating the substantial value of its property portfolio.’

Refer to Figure 2 – ATTY’s Expanded and New Targets.

Refer to Figure 3 – ATTY’s Targets underlain by Airborne Magnetics.

Detailed Overview of 2025 Exploration Program Targets

Northwestern Porphyry Trend and Target Areas –

The 2025 exploration program expanded on previous work outlining an 8.5-kilometer northwestern porphyry trend, which includes the Wrich, Pyramid, and KEM/Attycelley targets. Similar mineralized trends are found at nearby AuRORA, PIL South, and Kemess projects. Soil sampling, geological mapping, geophysics, and historical data have established targets at the ATTY, all of which show strong exploration potential (Figure 1).

Wrich Cu-Au Porphyry Target –

The Wrich Cu-Au porphyry target has strong soil anomalies in copper, gold, silver, molybdenum, selenium & tellurium, a high IP chargeability, and is closely linked to Takla Group volcanic rocks which are favourable for Cu-Au porphyries like the Kemess deposits. 2022 drilling at SWT confirmed anomalous gold and copper zones near a porphyry system; notably, hole JP22028 intersected 78 meters at 0.09% CuEq (0.02% Cu, 0.11 g/t Au, 0.04 g/t Ag). (2) (Figures 2 and 3).

Wrich Hill Target –

The Wrich Hill target is a newly identified geochemical anomaly (1,200 m x 600 m) with elevated gold, bismuth, lead, tellurium, and zinc in soil samples. Linked to a magnetic low, it may indicate a low and high sulphidation environment noted to be related to porphyry targets. North of Wrich Hill, drilling on the JOY Property in 2022 found Au-Ag-Cu mineralization, including 108 meters at 0.03% Cu, 0.23 g/t Au, and 6.4 g/t Ag in hole JP22044(2), within advanced argillic alteration zones.

Pyramid Cu-Au Porphyry Target –

The Pyramid copper-gold porphyry target consists of two areas:

  • Pyramid West: Contains a 200 m x 200 m copper-gold-molybdenum-tellurium soil anomaly open to the north, with a single IP line showing a 500 m chargeability high, cut off by a southern fault (Figure 2). The anomaly extends east with a weaker response. The area is mainly underlain by Toodoggone Hazelton formations, similar to AuRORA and Kemess East.
  • Pyramid East: Features a continuous IP chargeability high potentially linked to the Wrich target, trending southeast toward an 800 m x 850 m copper-gold geochemical anomaly and a circular magnetic feature. This anomaly lies just south of the Awesome epithermal gold showing, in propylitic-altered Takla Volcanic rocks.

Valley Target –

The 2025 program expanded an already significant IP chargeability anomaly by 500 meters to the southeast, bringing it to 1.5 km width and 1.8 km length. Earlier drilling conducted in 2019 (3) revealed anomalous copper in propylitic and phyllic-altered Takla Group rocks, suggesting potential proximity to a porphyry system.

KEM and Attycelley Targets –

Geological mapping at the KEM copper-gold porphyry target has improved its prospects for discovery. Recent quartz vein samples near the KEM mineral yielded up to 0.685% copper, 0.135 g/t gold, and 99.2 g/t silver. The KEM area spans 1,000 m x 2,200 m with high chargeability, forming part of a larger 3,000 m x 3,000 m copper-gold-silver geochemical anomaly that also includes the Attycelley target. Both sites exhibit IP and geological traits similar to the Kemess North Trend, which hosts significant deposits. Previous drilling at KEM was limited by inadequate depth and post-mineral intrusions.

The 2025 Exploration Program completed on the ATTY consisted of:

  • 543 line-km of airborne magnetics
  • 152 rock samples collected
  • 647 soil and talus samples collected
  • 14 line-km of IP

Both the ATTY and PIL exploration programs are fully funded through Earn-In Agreements with Freeport. Under these agreements, Freeport can earn up to an 80% interest in each property by funding a total of $35 million in exploration expenditures and making cash payments of $4.1 million over a six-year period, Finlay will serve as the operator for both projects and will earn an operator’s fee.

    • 6.0 m at 2.59 g/t Au from 202.0 m

Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: ‘These results continue to confirm the strength and continuity of gold mineralisation within the established Jagger and Road Cut Zone structures, including meaningful intersections at depth and along the Contact Zone Fault. Importantly, this phase of drilling has also identified new gold-bearing structures both in the footwall of the main Jagger shear and along strike to the south, demonstrating that mineralisation at Kossou goes beyond previously defined zones. Total drilling reported to date at Kossou now exceeds 34,800 m across 192 drill holes, including diamond and RC drilling. Together, these results expand our target inventory and further support the scale and growth potential of the Kossou system as we continue advancing toward the resource definition stage.’

Jagger Zone: Continued Drilling Confirms Mineralisation at Depth and Along Strike

Drilling at the Jagger Zone continued with 11 additional holes completed across approximately 700 m of strike , testing continuity within the main Jagger structural corridor and mineralisation at depth.

Deeper drilling continues to confirm gold mineralisation well below previously tested levels. On section JZ650 , KDD0133 intersected 2.0 m at 7.79 g/t Au approximately 200 m below surface , while KDD0136 on Section JZ700 returned 6.0 m at 1.10 g/t Au at a depth of approximately 210 m , confirming continuity of mineralised structures at depth.

Along strike, KDD0129 on Section JZ550 returned multiple intersections, including 8.0 m at 3.02 g/t Au from 285.0 m , extending mineralisation within the core of the Jagger Shear Zone. Additional intersections, including 5.0 m at 1.10 g/t Au from 364.0 m , confirm that Structure 6 extends to depths exceeding 250 m below surface . Further confirmation of depth continuity was provided by KDD0126 on Section JZ500 , which intersected 15.0 m at 0.90 g/t Au from 189.0 m , including 10.0 m at 1.16 g/t Au . All mineralised zones remain open to depth within the Jagger Shear system.

Drill hole KDD0134 ( section JZ650) tested a gold in soil geochemical target on the east of the main drill area, footwall to the Jagger Shear structure and successfully intersected 6 .0 m at 1.09 g/t Au from 11.0 m, including 3.0 m at 1.91 g/t Au, tentatively named ‘Structure 7’ (see Figure 1). This suggests additional gold bearing shear zones are present towards the Contact Zone Fault (‘CZ Fault’). Based on successful drilling of this contact in the Road Cut Zone, this hole provides confirmation of gold mineralisation in a similar stratigraphic location and will require additional drilling to advance this concept.

Road Cut Zone: Drilling Confirms Depth Extension and Contact Zone Fault Mineralisation

Drilling at the Road Cut Zone focused on two priority targets: the main shear previously intersected on section RCZ700 and gold mineralisation associated with the Contact Zone Fault and adjacent shear structures on section RCZ300.

Two drill holes are reported from this phase. In the southern portion of the zone, KDD0131 (section RCZ650), intersected 6.0 m at 2.55 g/t Au from 165.0 m , extending mineralisation to depth.

Further north, KDD0135 ( section RCZ300 ) was drilled to test the northern extension of mineralisation along the Contact Zone Fault . In addition to near-surface intersections, the hole intersected 6.0 m at 2.59 g/t Au from 202.0 m , including 3.0 m at 4.48 g/t Au , confirming strong gold mineralisation associated with the fault. This intersection extends known mineralisation by approximately 150 m to the north and supports the Contact Zone Fault as a significant mineralised control at Road Cut , with additional drilling planned to define its extent (see Figures 4 and 5).

Jagger South Zone: Drilling Confirms Along-Strike Continuity of the Jagger Shear System

Two drill holes, KDD0127 and KDD0128 , were completed to test gold-in-soil anomalies and Trench KTR110 , located approximately 1 km south of the main Jagger Zone . Trench KTR110 previously returned 14.0 m at 0.75 g/t Au .

Drill hole KDD0127 intersected 5.0 m at 0.35 g/t Au from 25.0 m and 3.0 m at 2.25 g/t Au from 48.0 m . The mineralisation is associated with quartz feldspar porphyry intrusions , similar to those observed in the central Jagger Zone , indicating regional continuity to the Jagger Shear system in southern parts. Additional work is planned to further evaluate this target area.

  • Intervals are reported with no more than 3.0 m of internal dilution of less than 0.3 m g/t Au except where indicated with an *

An accurate dip and strike and controls of mineralisation are unconfirmed and mineralised zones are reported as downhole lengths. Drill holes are planned to intersect mineralised zones perpendicular to interpreted targets. All intercepts reported are downhole distances, true widths are unknown.

Sampling, QA/QC, and Analytical Procedures

Drill core was logged and sampled by Kobo personnel at site. Drill cores were sawn in half, with one half remaining in the core box and the other half secured into new plastic sample bags with sample number tickets. Core samples are drilled using HQ core barrels to below the level of oxidation and then reduced to NQ core barrels for the remainder of the bore hole. Samples are transported to the SGS Côte d’Ivoire facility in Yamoussoukro by Kobo personnel where the entire sample was prepared for analysis (prep code PRP86/PRP94). Sample splits of 50 grams were then analysed for gold using 50g Fire Assay as per SGS Geochem Method FAA505. QA/QC procedures for the drill program include insertion of a certificated standards every 20 samples, a blank every 20 samples and a duplicate sample every 20 samples. All QAQC control samples returned values within acceptable limits.

Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: ‘These results continue to confirm the strength and continuity of gold mineralisation within the established Jagger and Road Cut Zone structures, including meaningful intersections at depth and along the Contact Zone Fault. Importantly, this phase of drilling has also identified new gold-bearing structures both in the footwall of the main Jagger shear and along strike to the south, demonstrating that mineralisation at Kossou goes beyond previously defined zones.

Jagger Zone: Continued Drilling Confirms Mineralisation at Depth and Along Strike

Drilling at the Jagger Zone continued with 11 additional holes completed across approximately 700 m of strike , testing continuity within the main Jagger structural corridor and mineralisation at depth.

Deeper drilling continues to confirm gold mineralisation well below previously tested levels. On section JZ650 , KDD0133 intersected 2.0 m at 7.79 g/t Au approximately 200 m below surface , while KDD0136 on Section JZ700 returned 6.0 m at 1.10 g/t Au at a depth of approximately 210 m , confirming continuity of mineralised structures at depth.

Along strike, KDD0129 on Section JZ550 returned multiple intersections, including 8.0 m at 3.02 g/t Au from 285.0 m , extending mineralisation within the core of the Jagger Shear Zone. Additional intersections, including 5.0 m at 1.10 g/t Au from 364.0 m , confirm that Structure 6 extends to depths exceeding 250 m below surface . Further confirmation of depth continuity was provided by KDD0126 on Section JZ500 , which intersected 15.0 m at 0.90 g/t Au from 189.0 m , including 10.0 m at 1.16 g/t Au . All mineralised zones remain open to depth within the Jagger Shear system.

Drill hole KDD0134 ( section JZ650) tested a gold in soil geochemical target on the east of the main drill area, footwall to the Jagger Shear structure and successfully intersected 6 .0 m at 1.09 g/t Au from 11.0 m, including 3.0 m at 1.91 g/t Au, tentatively named ‘Structure 7’ (see Figure 1). This suggests additional gold bearing shear zones are present towards the Contact Zone Fault (‘CZ Fault’). Based on successful drilling of this contact in the Road Cut Zone, this hole provides confirmation of gold mineralisation in a similar stratigraphic location and will require additional drilling to advance this concept.

Road Cut Zone: Drilling Confirms Depth Extension and Contact Zone Fault Mineralisation

Drilling at the Road Cut Zone focused on two priority targets: the main shear previously intersected on section RCZ700 and gold mineralisation associated with the Contact Zone Fault and adjacent shear structures on section RCZ300.

Two drill holes are reported from this phase. In the southern portion of the zone, KDD0131 (section RCZ650), intersected 6.0 m at 2.55 g/t Au from 165.0 m , extending mineralisation to depth.

Further north, KDD0135 ( section RCZ300 ) was drilled to test the northern extension of mineralisation along the Contact Zone Fault . In addition to near-surface intersections, the hole intersected 6.0 m at 2.59 g/t Au from 202.0 m , including 3.0 m at 4.48 g/t Au , confirming strong gold mineralisation associated with the fault. This intersection extends known mineralisation by approximately 150 m to the north and supports the Contact Zone Fault as a significant mineralised control at Road Cut , with additional drilling planned to define its extent (see Figures 4 and 5).

Jagger South Zone: Drilling Confirms Along-Strike Continuity of the Jagger Shear System

Two drill holes, KDD0127 and KDD0128 , were completed to test gold-in-soil anomalies and Trench KTR110 , located approximately 1 km south of the main Jagger Zone . Trench KTR110 previously returned 14.0 m at 0.75 g/t Au .

Drill hole KDD0127 intersected 5.0 m at 0.35 g/t Au from 25.0 m and 3.0 m at 2.25 g/t Au from 48.0 m . The mineralisation is associated with quartz feldspar porphyry intrusions , similar to those observed in the central Jagger Zone , indicating regional continuity to the Jagger Shear system in southern parts. Additional work is planned to further evaluate this target area.

Notes:

  • Cut-off using 2.0 m at 0.30 g/t Au
  • Intervals are reported with no more than 3.0 m of internal dilution of less than 0.3 m g/t Au except where indicated with an *

An accurate dip and strike and controls of mineralisation are unconfirmed and mineralised zones are reported as downhole lengths. Drill holes are planned to intersect mineralised zones perpendicular to interpreted targets. All intercepts reported are downhole distances, true widths are unknown.

Sampling, QA/QC, and Analytical Procedures

Drill core was logged and sampled by Kobo personnel at site. Drill cores were sawn in half, with one half remaining in the core box and the other half secured into new plastic sample bags with sample number tickets. Core samples are drilled using HQ core barrels to below the level of oxidation and then reduced to NQ core barrels for the remainder of the bore hole. Samples are transported to the SGS Côte d’Ivoire facility in Yamoussoukro by Kobo personnel where the entire sample was prepared for analysis (prep code PRP86/PRP94). Sample splits of 50 grams were then analysed for gold using 50g Fire Assay as per SGS Geochem Method FAA505. QA/QC procedures for the drill program include insertion of a certificated standards every 20 samples, a blank every 20 samples and a duplicate sample every 20 samples. All QAQC control samples returned values within acceptable limits.
