finlay minerals ltd. (TSXV: FYL,OTC:FYMNF) (OTCQB: FYMNF) (‘Finlay’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce the completion of the 2025 exploration programs at the PIL and ATTY Projects, located in the Toodoggone region of north-central British Columbia. The exploration activities at both the PIL and ATTY Projects included geological and alteration mapping, soil sampling, induced polarization (IP) surveys, and airborne magnetic surveys. The primary objective of these exploration programs was to develop drill targets for 2026 while also assessing other targets for subsequent fieldwork and geophysical surveys. Results are still being received and will be released once they have been compiled and integrated into the existing data sets.

Skyharbour Resources Ltd . (TSX-V: SYH ) (OTCQX: SYHBF ) (Frankfurt: SC1P ) (‘Skyharbour’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that partner company Mustang Energy Corp. (‘Mustang’) received the results of a high resolution HTDEM survey at the 914W Uranium Project (the ‘Project’), totaling 136 line-kms. The Project has road access and is in a prospective region known for its mineral potential south of the Athabasca Basin. The 914W TDEM survey successfully defined a well-developed conductive zone within the project. The geometry and strength of the anomaly are consistent with graphitic basement rocks or fault-bound alteration zones, both favorable for unconformity-type uranium mineralization. Mustang Energy may acquire a 75% interest in the Project by issuing common shares having an aggregate value of CAD $480,000, making aggregate cash payments of $275,000 to Skyharbour, and incurring an aggregate of $800,000 in exploration expenditures on the property over a three-year period.

914W Property Map:
https://skyharbourltd.com/_resources/projects/914W-image2.jpg

The Xcite™ helicopter-borne Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) survey was flown by Axiom Exploration Group Ltd. over the Project, covering approximately 136 line-km. The survey simultaneously collected electromagnetic, magnetic, and radiometric data to map conductive, magnetic, and radiometric variations related to prospective uranium-bearing structures. The survey was flown in addition to Mustang’s nearby Spur project TDEM survey.

Early-time channels (0.014–0.045 ms) show strong, high-amplitude EM responses along the east-central portion of the 914W block, indicating shallow conductive zones near surface. This conductor persists through mid-to-late time channels (0.12–0.56 ms) and may represent graphitic horizons or fault-controlled alteration zones, a key uranium pathfinder feature in the Athabasca Basin margin setting. The intensity and continuity of the anomaly diminish slightly with later decay times, consistent with a discrete subsurface conductor rather than surficial noise.

HTDEM Survey Shows High-Amplitude EM Responses Along East-Central 914W Block:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/maps/Airborne-HTDEM-survey-over-914W-2.png

The inversion modelling from 50 m to 350 m depth shows consistent conductive features. From 50 – 150 m the depth slices show a strong, laterally continuous conductive zone trending east-northeast across the east-central portion of the property. The 250 to 350 m depth slices show the conductivity anomaly persists at depth.

2025 914W Soil Sampling Results:

A one-week prospecting and soil sampling program was carried out on claim 914W in May of 2025. In total, 25 rock samples and 142 soil samples were collected. The soil sampling focused on the northwest corner of the property immediately south of the Scurry Rainbow E Zone and the Don Lake Trenches where no outcrop exposure is present. Rock sampling was limited by the scarcity of exposed outcrop across the property.

Conductivity Depth Slice (150m) Shows Strong EM Response in East-Central 914W Block:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/maps/Airborne-HTDEM-survey-over-914W-1.png

Although the program did not identify any new significant discoveries, particularly in the southern portion of the Project, the northern soil grid returned anomalous uranium values. In this program, five soil samples from the southern portion of the grid exceeded 4 ppm U, which would be considered slightly elevated.

Prospecting efforts did not confirm elevated uranium values in the southwestern part of the grid, likely due to limited outcrop exposure. However, anomalous uranium values were identified in the northeastern portion of the soil grid, including a granitic gneiss sample that returned 42.3 ppm U.

Sampling Methods:

Samples were submitted to SRC Laboratories in Saskatoon, SK, for analysis. Both rock and soil samples were tested using ICP-MS with four-acid digestion, ICP total four-acid digestion, and U₃O₈ assays by ICP reported in weight percent.

Horizon A soil samples were collected by removing surface vegetation with a trowel and sampling the uppermost layer of topsoil. Rock samples were taken from exposed basement boulders or granitic outcrops that returned elevated counts per second (cps) readings.

914W Property Summary:

The 914W Project consists of one claim covering 1,260 hectares approximately 48 km southwest of Cameco’s Key Lake Operation. Highway 914 runs through the western edge of the project, providing excellent access for exploration. Historical geological mapping of the property and the surrounding area has shown that the project is predominantly underlain by prospective Wollaston Supergroup pelitic and psammitic to arkosic gneisses of the Western Wollaston Domain, which hosts significant unconformity-related uranium mineralization in the Athabasca Basin as well as pegmatite-hosted uranium mineralization elsewhere in the Wollaston Domain.

Despite the project’s proximity to Highway 914 and prospective geology, the project has seen limited modern exploration work. The earliest work on the 914W property included airborne EM and magnetic surveys and ground geological reconnaissance in 1968-1970, lake water and sediment sampling in 1976, ground VLF-EM, magnetic, and radiometric surveys, geological mapping, trenching, as well as sampling on the project and surrounding areas. Immediately to the north of the 914W property, prospecting led to the discovery of the Scurry Rainbow Zone E (SMDI1961) and the Don Lake Trenches (SMDI 1983), where up to 1,288 ppm U was encountered in drill hole ML-1 (SMDI1961) in a pyroxene-rich unit, and surface prospecting revealed up to 0.64% U 3 O 8 in a trench at Don Lake Zone E (SMDI 1983). More recently, the project has seen airborne geophysical coverage by helicopter-borne VTEM (southern half) in 2005 and Tempest TDEM (northern half) in 2007, with prospecting, geological mapping, rock/sediment sampling and lake sediment sampling occurring on the project and surrounding areas in 2005-2007. The project remains underexplored and prospective for unconformity-related and pegmatite-hosted uranium and REE’s.

Sranan Gold Corp. (CSE: SRAN) (FSE: P84) (Tradegate: P84) (‘Sranan’ or the ‘Company’) announces significant diamond drill results from the Randy’s Pit target at its Tapanahony Gold Project in Suriname. These results are from the first four drill holes of an ongoing 10,000-metre drill program and confirm that a significant gold system continues in and below the saprolite mineralization (see Figure1).

Initial diamond drilling at Randy’s Pit intersected significant gold in all of the first four holes. The best result was intersected in hole 25RADD-004 and assayed 64.0 metres (m) averaging 3.0 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au). This interval included 5 m averaging 33.5 g/t (or 1.2 ounces per ton) Au and 1 m grading 145.4 g/t (or 5.1 ounces per ton) Au. Fine visible gold is dispersed throughout the quartz vein in the interval from 167 to 168 m (see Figure 3).

To date, gold mineralization has been encountered through grab and trench sampling from Randy’s Pit up to 76.6 g/t (see Sranan release dated July 31, 2025) and trenching up to 36.6 g/t over 5 m (see release dated August 7, 2025). Sampling at Poeketi, which is located 3 km to the northwest along the trend of the major shear system from Randy’s Pit, assayed grab samples up to 108 g/t and 84 g/t Au (see release dated May 15, 2025).

Drilling has confirmed multiple high grade and bulk tonnage gold intercepts across a shear system that is at least 150 m wide and is being tested with trenching and drilling. Gold mineralization is present in both the saprolite and in the bedrock beneath and has been intersected in drillholes to at least 120 m in vertical depth (see Figure 2).

All bedrock intercepts exhibit strongly silica-sericite-ankerite alteration in basaltic host rocks that have been sheared into proto-mylonitic to mylonitic rock with grey to white quartz carbonate veins, transposed within the same sheared fabric. Pyrite and pyrrhotite are observed along shear planes, vein selvages as well as within late-stage fractures, which are typical for orogenic gold systems in the Guiana Shield. Intercepts within the saprolite have shown oxidized sulfide box works and sugary veins. All the shear zones are north-northwest striking dipping to the west.

Dr. Dennis LaPoint, EVP of Exploration and Corporate Development, commented: ‘These impressive intercepts are the result of careful geologic and logging observations by Sranan Gold and are the first holes in the evaluation of this significant gold system. The results of hole 25RADD-004 are truly impressive. We will continue to delineate the deformation history and geometry of this major structurally-controlled gold system as we extend drilling along strike and at depth. Drilling has not yet tested below the Randy’s Pit nor the extensions seen in trenching.’

Oscar Louzada, CEO of Sranan Gold, commented: ‘We now have very clear evidence of a well mineralized system in the Randy’s Pit area. We will continue to drill the Randy’s Pit target as well as explore along strike towards the Poeketi target in the near future so we can continuously attempt to determine the gold endowment potential of the 4.5-km-long Randy-Poeketi trend.’

2026 Exploration Plans

Davidson River Project

New and refined target areas across the Warrior, Bronco, and Thunderbird conductor corridors have been identified through high-resolution 3D imaging of basement structures and potential alteration zones, providing key targeting information for spring 2026 drilling. The Company has secured all drill permits, signed Exploration Agreements with its Clearwater River Dene Nation (‘CRDN‘) partners, retained all essential vendors, and plans to initiate an aggressive drill program in early spring 2026 to begin testing new targets with approximately 8,000 metres planned.

Corvo Project

In December 2025, the Company plans to complete an extensive 50 m x 200 m ground gravity survey covering more than 29 km of conductive strike length, which will aid in identifying density anomalies that may represent hydrothermal alteration systems when coinciding with uranium fertile EM conductor trends.

Following the gravity survey, a skid-assisted diamond drill program totalling approximately 3,000 metres is planned for winter 2026, which will mark the first drill program on the Project in more than 40 years. Drilling will target high-priority areas including the never-before-drilled Manhattan Showing and newly-identified radioactive occurrences across the property.

Rocas Project

The Company completed a high-resolution ground gravity survey in 2024, and Convolutions Geoscience completed the processing, interpretation, and modeling of the gravity data. The survey identified several density-low anomalies coinciding with historical surface mineralization, lakebed geochemical anomalies, and cross-cutting fault zones along the Project’s known conductive exploration trends.

Standard Uranium plans to conduct the first-ever drill program on the Project in winter 2026, comprising approximately 1,800 metres, to begin testing high-priority zones along the main 7.5-kilometre magnetic low/EM conductive corridor which hosts several uranium showings and has remained untested to date.

Sun Dog Project

The Company plans to complete 3D modeling and inversions of EM and gravity data collected across the project in 2024 and 2025. Integration of geophysical products with surficial sampling and drilling results to date will help refine drill targets for a future partner-funded drill program.

2025 Exploration Summary

Davidson River Project

In May of 2025, a Fleet ExoSphere Multiphysics Survey was competed across key areas of the Thunderbird, Bronco, and Warrior trends. Combined 3D Ambient Noise Tomography (‘ANT‘) and Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (‘HVSR‘) velocity models and constrained ground gravity block models have been generated1.

Distinct gravity-low anomalies interpreted as potential hydrothermal alteration zones have been identified across all three corridors. These overlap known EM conductors, extrapolated basement faults from previous drilling, and basement velocity lows – indicating structural disruption or favorable lithological contrasts. Several new targets also align with ALS GoldSpot EM SmartMatch anomalies generated through machine-learning comparisons to the neighbouring Arrow and Triple R uranium deposits.

Sun Dog Project

In early 2025, MWH Geo-Surveys (Canada) Ltd. completed high-resolution ground gravity surveys across the Armbruster South, Wishbone, and McNie target areas, refining high-priority drill targets by identifying potential hydrothermal alteration zones associated with EM conductors.

Third-party processing of the gravity data by Convolutions Geoscience identified density-low bullseyes and high-contrast gravity zones. Where these anomalies coincide with faults, EM conductors, surface uranium showings, and lakebed geochemical anomalies, multiple new prospective target zones have been defined. Additionally, assays from the 2024 drill program, which tested the newly identified Wishbone target area, returned anomalous uranium in all eight drill holes2.

The Sun Dog Project is currently under a three-year earn-in option agreement with Aero Energy Ltd. (TSXV: AERO).

Atlantic and Rocas Projects

MWH Geo-Surveys (Canada) Ltd. completed high-resolution ground gravity surveys along known conductive exploration trends on the Rocas project and spanning the central claims of the Atlantic project. Inversion and modeling of high-resolution ground gravity surveys was completed for each project, identifying density-low anomalies coincident with surface mineralization, lakebed geochemical anomalies, EM conductors, and crosscutting faults.

These results have led to the delineation of new anomalous zones and drill targets.

Corvo Project

Earlier this year, the Company engaged Axiom Exploration Group Ltd., in partnership with New Resolution Geophysics, to complete a helicopter-borne Xcite time-domain electromagnetic and magnetic survey over the Corvo Project. The survey outlined several kilometres of bedrock conductors and magnetic features and enhanced the resolution of over ~29 km of conductive trends.

In July of 2025, Standard Uranium completed the Company’s first prospecting and mapping program on the project with the objective of ground-truth sampling historical uranium showings including the Manhattan Showing, which returned results up to 59,800 ppm uranium (total digestion). The Company identified zones of off-scale radioactivity (>65,535 cps on a handheld RS-125 Super-Spec) and collected hand samples which returned results ranging from 0.72% to 8.10% U₃O₈3, the highest grades ever reported on the project. New drill targets were developed based on previously undocumented radioactive showings, and an NI 43-101 technical report was filed on the project, highlighting high-grade surface mineralization at the Manhattan Showing4.

A high-resolution ground gravity survey is planned to be completed in 2026, which will cover the main conductive trends to identify potential hydrothermal alteration halos commonly associated with basement-hosted uranium mineralization. This additional data will further refine drill targets.

The Corvo Project is currently under a three-year earn-in option agreement with Aventis Energy Inc. (CSE: AVE).

Rocas Project

In September of 2025, Standard Uranium completed a detailed prospecting and mapping program on the Project. Historical grab sample assays have returned up to 0.498% U₃O₈, while preliminary results of the prospecting and mapping program identified anomalous radioactivity up to 33,000 cps, as well as 10 separate measurements of greater than 10,000 cps5. Geochemical assay results are anticipated in the coming months.

Paired with the results from a high-resolution ground gravity survey completed in 2024, this highlights potential alteration halos and identify high-priority exploration targets along well-defined structural corridors.

The Rocas Project is currently under a three-year earn-in option agreement with Collective Metals Inc. (CSE: COMT).

Incentive Grant

The Company also announces that it has granted a total of 1,475,000 incentive stock options (the ‘Options‘) and 3,350,000 restricted share units (the ‘RSUs‘) to certain directors, officers and consultants in accordance with its omnibus incentive plan.

About Standard Uranium (TSXV: STND,OTC:STTDF)

We find the fuel to power a clean energy future

Standard Uranium is a uranium exploration company and emerging project generator poised for discovery in one of the world’s premier uranium districts. The Company holds interest in over 235,435 acres (95,277 hectares) in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. Since its establishment, Standard Uranium has focused on the identification, acquisition, and exploration of Athabasca-style uranium targets with a view to discovery and future development.

Standard Uranium’s Davidson River Project, in the southwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, comprises ten mineral claims over 30,737 hectares. Davidson River is highly prospective for basement-hosted uranium deposits due to its location along trend from recent high-grade uranium discoveries. However, owing to the large project size with multiple targets, it remains broadly under-tested by drilling. Recent intersections of wide, structurally deformed and strongly altered shear zones provide significant confidence in the exploration model and future success is expected.

Standard Uranium’s eastern Athabasca projects comprise over 43,185 hectares of prospective land holdings. The eastern basin projects are highly prospective for unconformity related and/or basement hosted uranium deposits based on historical uranium occurrences, recently identified geophysical anomalies, and location along trend from several high-grade uranium discoveries.

Standard Uranium’s Sun Dog project, in the northwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, is comprised of nine mineral claims over 19,603 hectares. The Sun Dog project is highly prospective for basement and unconformity hosted uranium deposits yet remains largely untested by sufficient drilling despite its location proximal to uranium discoveries in the area.

A federal judge criticized the Justice Department for allegedly being too quick to indict in high-profile cases on Wednesday.

Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick of the Eastern District of Virginia made the comments during a brief hearing regarding the case against former FBI Director James Comey.

‘Right now, we are in a bit of a feeling of indict first, investigate later,’ Fitzpatrick said in the hearing, which lasted less than an hour.

Fitzpatrick questioned prosecutors about their handling of data acquired from a number of search warrants between 2019 and 2020, information which is now being used in Comey’s case. The judge pressed prosecutors on whether they may have viewed information that may be protected by attorney-client privilege.

Fitzpatrick also noted the size of the trove of documents, saying Comey’s defense team has been placed at a disadvantage with a limited time to view the set.

‘The government has had this for five and a half years … this is an unfair burden the government is placing on the defense, but I don’t see another path forward,’ the judge said.

Comey’s team has sought to have his case dismissed, arguing he is the victim of selective prosecution by President Donald Trump.

The DOJ denied in a 48-page filing that Trump’s September Truth Social post calling on U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute prominent political adversaries, including Comey, Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and New York Attorney General Letitia James, had any influence on the decision to bring charges.

‘These posts reflect the President’s view that the defendant has committed crimes that should be met with prosecution. They may even suggest that the President disfavors the defendant. But they are not direct evidence of a vindictive motive,’ prosecutors argued.

‘The defendant spins a tale that requires leaps of logic and a big dose of cynicism, then he calls the President’s post a direct admission,’ they continued. ‘There is no direct admission of discriminatory purpose. To the contrary, the only direct admission from the President is that DOJ officials decided whether to prosecute, not him.’

Leaders of a 189-member group that acts as the House GOP’s de facto conservative think tank are formally endorsing a new short-term federal funding bill.

With just over two weeks until the deadline for Republicans’ initial Nov. 21 plan and the threat of more government shutdown chaos, the Republican Study Committee (RSC) Steering Committee is calling for an extension into ‘at least’ January 2026.

‘Democrats are responsible for the longest government shutdown in U.S. history — paralyzing our country and deepening the healthcare crisis sparked by Obamacare,’ reads a statement first obtained by Fox News Digital.

‘House conservatives support a return to regular order accomplished only by a continuing resolution that funds the government at least into January 2026.’

A debate is already brewing within the GOP about how long another extension should last, with some conservatives even demanding a bill carrying last year’s federal spending levels through at least November 2026.

The House passed a short-term measure called a continuing resolution (CR) on Sept. 19, aimed at extending fiscal year (FY) 2025 funding levels for seven weeks to give lawmakers more time to strike a deal on FY 2026 federal spending.

But progress has been stalled in the Senate for weeks, where Democrats are demanding any spending bill be paired with an extension of COVID-19 pandemic-era Obamacare subsidies set to expire at the end of this year.

Senate Majority Leader Thune, R-S.D., has floated the idea of holding a vote on extending the subsidies if Democrats agree to Republicans’ CR, which is currently free of partisan policy riders.

It’s not clear if there’s an appetite for such a vote in the House, RSC leaders’ new statement suggests.

‘We are also committed to delivering a healthcare system that is truly accessible, affordable, and spurs innovation. Congress should reject any extension of the wasteful COVID-era subsidies that fuel fraud and drive up costs,’ they said.

The latest position by the RSC, led by Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, is likely an accurate indication of where most House Republicans’ feelings on both the CR and the Obamacare subsidies are.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., signaled support for a January CR on a private call with House GOP lawmakers on Tuesday, Fox News Digital was told earlier this week.

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole, R-Okla., told Fox News Digital last month that he and others on his committee could support an extension into January.

But both issues are likely to see debate within the House GOP, not to mention the chamber as a whole.

Just over a dozen Republicans led by Rep. Jen Kiggans, R-Va., are supportive of extending the enhanced Obamacare subsidies by a year as a cushion to give the GOP more time to reform the flawed U.S. healthcare system.

Without it, some members of that coalition have argued, millions of Americans could be faced with a fiscal cliff leaving them to pay significantly more per month for their healthcare.

And on the CR debate, the House Freedom Caucus led by Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., recently released a statement calling for a CR that extends at least into November 2026.

Their reasoning is that such a measure is the most effective way of keeping federal spending low and avoids another messy government funding fight until after the midterm elections.

But appropriators are against such a move, arguing that Congress must follow its constitutional duty in setting a yearly budget rather than relying on spending levels first passed under former President Joe Biden for another year.

It’s also not clear that Democrats, at least several of whom are needed to break a filibuster in the Senate, would accept a year-long CR.

Meanwhile, the government shutdown is in its 37th day, already having made history as the longest fiscal standoff in U.S. history.

The UN Climate Change Conference, COP30, starts Nov. 6 with a world leader summit and runs to Nov. 21. It will emphasize ‘the urgency of the climate crisis and the need for accelerated and collective climate actions.’ However, Microsoft founder Bill Gates just issued a memo aimed at COP30 attendees proposing a fundamental shift in priorities: focus on poverty reduction rather than climate modification.

Gates, who previously gave primary importance to measures to reduce near-term emissions, has drawn criticism for arguing that ‘a metric that should count even more than emissions and temperature change [is] improving lives. Our chief goal should be to prevent suffering, particularly for those in the toughest conditions who live in the world’s poorest countries.’

His argument rests on three key premises: climate change poses serious challenges but does not represent an existential threat to civilization; temperature metrics alone inadequately measure climate-related progress; and improved health and economic prosperity provide the most effective defense against climate change.

Gates provides data to show that achieving net-zero emissions would result in a 1.9-degree Celsius temperature increase from 1990 levels, while inaction would produce a 2.9-degree increase. This one-degree differential, he argues, suggests that resources allocated toward net-zero goals might yield greater humanitarian benefits if redirected toward energy access and disease prevention.

The correlation between energy consumption and economic prosperity is striking. Nations with annual per capita incomes below $1,145 consume approximately 1,100 kilowatts per person annually, while those exceeding $14,005 in per capita income utilize 55,000 kilowatts per person annually, according to data cited by Gates.

The genuine inequity, Gates contends, lies in human development disparities. A child born in South Sudan faces mortality risks 39 times higher before age five compared to a Swedish child. These vulnerable populations require enhanced access to energy, nutrition and healthcare infrastructure.

The relationship between economic development and energy consumption is unequivocal: no nation has achieved high per capita income with low per capita energy usage, and conversely, no country maintains high energy consumption alongside persistent poverty.

Increased energy access facilitates improved living standards through enhanced productivity, agricultural advancement and household consumption, thereby reducing dependence on subsistence farming. Energy availability either provides farmers with modern agricultural technologies or enables economic mobility to pursue alternative livelihoods.

Trump takes aim at Europe

High-energy nations benefit from superior healthcare infrastructure and water sanitation systems, resulting in reduced maternal and child mortality rates and greater capacity for environmental protection measures.

Hurricane Melissa’s destruction in Jamaica illustrates how natural disasters inflict disproportionate damage on developing nations compared to wealthy countries, due to disparities in energy infrastructure, resilient construction and recovery capabilities. Affordable energy access is essential to addressing these inequalities.

Energy poverty in many African and Latin American nations drives migration pressures, as residents seek higher living standards in fossil fuel-rich regions, particularly Europe and North America.

To support emerging economies and alleviate migration pressures, President Donald Trump has reversed restrictions on loans to developing countries for fossil fuel energy projects. Financial institutions are no longer compelled to finance exclusively renewable energy initiatives.

The 140 private banks from 44 countries that participated in the United Nations Net Zero Banking Alliance — including Barclays, JP Morgan Chase and Sumitomo — have suspended their commitments to restrict fossil fuel financing. The World Bank, which has historically discouraged fossil fuel and nuclear power lending while prioritizing renewables, may reassess its position.

This policy shift enables developing nations to secure financing for conventional power plants, transmission infrastructure, distribution networks and household connections. Importantly, this change diminishes China’s strategic advantage in lending to African and Latin American nations — often securing ports and other assets as collateral.

Gates’s reversal in the climate debate challenges the international community to confront an uncomfortable reality. While climate conferences convene in developed nations with reliable electricity and healthcare systems, billions lack access to the energy that makes such gatherings possible.

His argument suggests that the most effective climate strategy may be ensuring that vulnerable populations have the resources to adapt and thrive, rather than pursuing emissions targets that may perpetuate the very poverty that exacerbates climate vulnerability. Whether policymakers at COP30 will heed this message remains uncertain, but Gates has succeeded in reframing the conversation around what climate action should ultimately serve: economic progress, not merely atmospheric targets.

On Sunday, October 26, Argentine President Javier Milei’s party, La Libertad Avanza, won big in the country’s legislative elections. In the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, it won 50.4 percent of the available seats on a plurality — 40.7 percent — of the vote. In the upper house, the Senate, it won thirteen of 27 available seats for a net gain of six.    

Many doubted such an outcome a month ago when, according to Polymarket, the party’s odds of winning most seats fell to a low of 52.5 percent, down from 89.5 percent on August 19. Argentina was, then, in the grip of one of its perennial economic crises, with the peso falling and bond yields rising. The fate of Milei’s bid to right the country’s economy by balancing the budget with deep spending cuts — which, as Noah Smith noted in July, had eliminated the budget deficit and brought inflation down from a monthly rate of 25 percent to 2.4 percent — hung in the balance.  

The proximate cause of Argentina’s latest economic crisis occurred on September 7, when, with Milei’s sister embroiled in a corruption scandal, Alianza La Libertad Avanza suffered a heavy electoral defeat at the hands of the center-left Fuerza Patria. “Markets panicked,” The Economist reported, “worried that this signaled the end of popular support for his reforms, and the potential return of spendthrift Peronists. A sharp peso sell-off began, while investors ditched Argentine bonds.” 

While Argentina is not alone in feeling the fiscal pain of rising bond yields, few countries nowadays worry very much about their exchange rates. But Argentina is different.   

The Necessity and Peril of Foreign Currency Borrowing  

The ultimate cause of Argentina’s crisis is its long history of fiscal and monetary mismanagement. It has defaulted on its international sovereign debt nine times, three of those in the past two decades, and suffered repeated bouts of high inflation. As a result, nobody will lend pesos to its government at a remotely affordable interest rate because they either might not get repaid at all (a hard default) or be repaid in currency which is worth much less than when they loaned it (a soft default).   

So, to borrow the pesos it needs to finance its operations, the Argentine government first borrows dollars which it then exchanges for those pesos. But a government which borrows dollars must be able to repay dollars. So how does a government which borrows in a currency it doesn’t issue — which isn’t a “monetary sovereign” — get that currency? It has two sources. 

Taxation is the first. The Argentine government could impose taxes on its population payable in dollars, but that merely transfers the problem of getting those dollars in the first place from the government to the taxpayers. To do so, those taxpayers would need to sell more to the United States (or anyone else who is willing to transact with them in dollars) than they buy from it. In short, Argentina would have to run a current-account surplus, something it has done only rarely in recent years.   

Borrowing is the second. Here, however, the Argentine government is effectively buying dollars with pesos, and this is why the exchange rate — the peso price of dollars — matters. In April, 1,000 pesos bought you 93 cents; on September 21, it bought you just 68 cents. Milei’s government needed more pesos to buy the same amount of dollars, and this, as The Economist noted, raised the familiar specter of money printing and inflation, with the consequent flight from pesos and peso denominated debt, like Argentine government bonds, and the resulting fall in the currency and rise in bond yields.  

The Folly of Fixed Exchange Rates  

To protect themselves from such a situation, the Argentine government has tried to fix the exchange rate, but there are limits to this.   

If the peso rises against the dollar, the Argentine central bank, as the issuer of pesos, can print them in unlimited quantity, using them to buy dollars, pushing the relative price of pesos down and the relative price of dollars up.  

It is a very different situation when the peso is falling against the dollar. Then, the Argentine central bank must push the price of the dollar down relative to pesos by selling dollars for pesos, pushing the relative price of those pesos up. But the Argentine central bank only has access to a certain number of dollars so there are limits to how far it can pursue this policy. This is the great asymmetry at the heart of currency pegs like Argentina’s; as the British discovered in 1992, it is easy to weaken a relatively strong currency, but not to strengthen a relatively weak one.   

In the run-up to the election, Argentina blew through its dollar reserves attempting to defend the peso’s peg. When it ran out of ammo, President Trump stepped in. However helpful, depending on the president is not a macroeconomic strategy for the long term.  

The Prospects for Argentina    

Milei aims to get Argentina’s borrowing under control so that it is less vulnerable to swings in the exchange rate. The country’s electorate gave him a vote of confidence this Sunday. Unlike voters in other countries, they might have felt a level of economic pain which has led them to acknowledge the need for Milei’s medicine.   

With this mandate, work remains to be done. “The main problem is that Argentina has a large welfare state given the size and level of development of its economy, and a highly distorted tax and transfer system that funds it,” political economist Jean-Paul Faguet told Newsweek in September. “It only manages to remain stable during good times; a bad international economy or specific international shocks throw it out of kilter and into crisis.” Sunday’s election was a positive shock, with the peso and bond prices rising and yields falling on the news. But as long as Argentina’s structural problems persist, the economy – and the country – will remain vulnerable. Its welfare state must, like that in France, for example, be brought into proportion with the economy’s ability to support it and that will mean further cuts. With Milei up for reelection in 2027, much work remains for him to do.
