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

January 14, 2026 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

January 14, 2026 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.⁽¹⁾

Kobo Resources Advances Kossou Toward Resource Definition While Expanding Gold Mineralisation Beyond Known Structures

January 14, 2026 No Comments

Drilling confirms continued gold mineralisation within established Jagger and Road Cut Zone structures, including at depth with intersections of 8.0 m at 3.02 g/t Au at the Jagger Zone (KDD0129) and along the Contact Zone Fault with 6.0 m at 2.59 g/t Au at the Road Cut Zone (KDD0135)
New gold-bearing structures were identified both in the footwall of the main Jagger shear toward the Contact Zone Fault (Structure 7, KDD0134) and along strike at Jagger South (KDD0127), expanding mineralisation beyond previously defined zones
Results continue to reinforce the scale of the Kossou’s gold targets as drilling advances toward resource definition while generating additional high-priority targets

Kobo Resources Inc. (‘ Kobo’ or the ‘ Company ‘) ( TSX.V: KRI ) is pleased to report results from 15 diamond drill holes completed as part of its ongoing drill program at the 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project (‘ Kossou ‘) in Côte d’Ivoire. The latest results confirm continued gold mineralisation within known structures at the Jagger and Road Cut Zones while also identifying new gold-bearing structures that expand the mineralised footprint of the project.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260114191786/en/

Figure 1: Jagger Zone Drill Hole Locations and Simplified Geology

Diamond Drill Results Highlights:

Jagger Zone:

KDD0129
- 3.0 metres ( ‘ m’) at 3.32 g/t Au from 62 .0 m
- 5.0 m at 1.34 g/t Au from 275.0 m
- 8.0 m at 3.02 g/t Au from 285.0 m
- 5.0 m at 1.10 g/t Au from 364.0m
KDD0124
- 2.0 m at 9.97 g/t Au from 297.0 m
KDD0133
- 2.0 m at 7.79 g/t Au from 314.0 m
KDD0126
- 15.0 m at 0.90 g/t Au from 189.0 m, incl. 10.0 m at 1.16 g/t Au
KDD0134
- 6.0 m at 1.09 g/t Au from 11.0 m, incl. 3.0 m at 1.91 g/t Au

Road Cut Zone :

KDD0131
- 6.0 m at 2.55 g/t Au from 165.0 m, incl. 2.0 m at 5.27 g/t Au
KDD0135
- 7.0 m at 1.11 g/t Au from 23.0 m
- 12.0 m at 0.62 g/t Au from 36.0 m, incl. 6.0 m at 1.00 gt Au
- 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.

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.

Kobo Resources is a growth-focused gold exploration company with a compelling gold discovery in Côte d’Ivoire, one of West Africa’s most prolific gold districts, hosting several multi-million-ounce gold mines. The Company’s 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project is located approximately 20 km northwest of the capital city of Yamoussoukro and is directly adjacent to one of the region’s largest gold mines with established processing facilities.

With over 29,000 metres of diamond drilling, nearly 5,887 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling, and 7,100+ metres of trenching completed since 2023, Kobo has made significant progress in defining the scale and prospectivity of its Kossou’s Gold Project. Exploration has focused on multiple high-priority targets within a 9+ km strike length of highly prospective gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies, with drilling confirming extensive mineralisation at the Jagger, Road Cut, and Kadie Zones. The latest phase of drilling has further refined structural controls on gold mineralisation, setting the stage for the next phase of systematic exploration and resource development.

Beyond Kossou, the Company is advancing exploration at its Kotobi Permit and is actively expanding its land position in Côte d’Ivoire with prospective ground, aligning with its strategic vision for long-term growth in-country.

Kobo Resources Advances Kossou Toward Resource Definition While Expanding Gold Mineralisation Beyond Known Structures

January 14, 2026 No Comments

Drilling confirms continued gold mineralisation within established Jagger and Road Cut Zone structures, including at depth with intersections of 8.0 m at 3.02 g/t Au at the Jagger Zone (KDD0129) and along the Contact Zone Fault with 6.0 m at 2.59 g/t Au at the Road Cut Zone (KDD0135)
New gold-bearing structures were identified both in the footwall of the main Jagger shear toward the Contact Zone Fault (Structure 7, KDD0134) and along strike at Jagger South (KDD0127), expanding mineralisation beyond previously defined zones
Results continue to reinforce the scale of the Kossou’s gold targets as drilling advances toward resource definition while generating additional high-priority targets

Kobo Resources Inc. (‘ Kobo’ or the ‘ Company ‘) ( TSX.V: KRI ) is pleased to report results from 15 diamond drill holes completed as part of its ongoing drill program at the 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project (‘ Kossou ‘) in Côte d’Ivoire. The latest results confirm continued gold mineralisation within known structures at the Jagger and Road Cut Zones while also identifying new gold-bearing structures that expand the mineralised footprint of the project.
