 West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (TSXV: WHY,OTC:WHYRF) (FSE: W0H) (the ‘Company’ or ‘West High Yield’) today released the following letter from President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Marasco Jr.

Letter from President and CEO

Dear Shareholders,

As we close out 2025, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all our shareholders for their continued support and confidence in the Company This year has been one of meaningful progress, disciplined execution, and growing momentum across the Company’s business.

In 2025, the Company achieved an important milestone with the award of the BC Mines Act Permit for the Record Ridge magnesium project (the ‘Project‘). This accomplishment represents years of focused technical, environmental, and regulatory work, and positions the Company to enter a transformative phase as it moves toward construction and first production at the Project in 2026.

Throughout the year, West High Yield’s team remained focused on disciplined execution, regulatory progress, environmental stewardship, and strengthening its foundation as the Company advance Record Ridge toward development. These efforts have materially de-risked the Project and advanced it into its current stage of pre-construction readiness.

At the same time, the global landscape for critical minerals has shifted decisively. Magnesium/Silica/Nickel and Iron have emerged as priority materials for governments and industries seeking to secure domestic and North American supply chains. In response, governments across Canada, the United States, and the European Union have:

  • enacted policies to accelerate permitting for strategic minerals;
  • introduced incentives, grants, and funding access for domestic mining and processing; and
  • strengthened supply chain mandates for materials essential to national security, decarbonization, and advanced manufacturing.

These macro forces present a significant tailwind for companies like West High Yield with advanced-stage, strategically located critical mineral assets. The recognition of these critical minerals as ‘strategic’ reinforces the relevance of Record Ridge, underscores the relevance of the Project, and emphasises the opportunity ahead as the Company moves toward production.

With key regulatory, environmental, and engineering milestones completed and additional work well underway, the Company is entering its final stages of pre-construction readiness.

The Company’s 2026 roadmap includes:

  • completion of final Project engineering and mine readiness planning;
  • Project long-lead procurement, site preparation, and infrastructure development; and
  • the launch of Project construction and a transition toward operational start-up.

Supported by strong global demand, increasing policy support, and the meaningful progress achieved this year, 2026 is poised to be a pivotal year for the Company as it transitions Record Ridge from planning to construction and development.

Looking Ahead

West High Yield enters the new year with a clear mission and a BC Mines Act permit: to build Canada’s first environmentally responsible magnesium/silica mine, and deliver long-term value to its shareholders, indigenous partners, local communities, and other stakeholders.

West High Yield thanks you for your continued commitment, confidence, and support and belief in its vision. The Company looks forward to sharing further updates as it advances toward full Project construction and operational readiness in the year ahead.

On behalf of the entire team at West High Yield, I wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a healthy, prosperous, and successful 2026.

Sincerely,

Frank Marasco Jr.

President and CEO

Canada One Mining Corp. (TSXV: CONE,OTC:COMCF) (OTC Pink: COMCF) (FSE: AU31) (‘Canada One’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide a review of the Company’s 2025 key accomplishments at its 100% owned Copper Dome Project, (‘Copper Dome’, ‘Project’ or ‘Property’), Princeton B.C.

2025 PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

  • A five-year exploration drilling permit was granted by the British Columbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals
  • Adjacent claim staking of Copper Dome East expanded the Project size to 7,997 ha
  • Acquisition of Copper Dome North, an adjacent property, expanded the Project size to 12,833 ha
  • Fall fieldwork program established 53 field stations with full metadata across the property
  • Rock samples have been sent for assaying
  • Copper sulphides, including bornite and chalcopyrite were observed in several rock samples
  • Key alteration assemblages observed are indicative of proximity to porphyry centers

Peter Berdusco, President and CEO of the Company commented: ‘2025 marked a significant step forward for the Copper Dome Project. The granting of a five-year drilling permit, combined with strategic property expansion to over 12,800 hectares, gives us both the time horizon and land position needed to properly evaluate the system. The identification of copper sulphides, including bornite and chalcopyrite, together with alteration assemblages consistent with porphyry-style mineralization, reinforces our belief that the Project has strong discovery potential. We look forward to receiving rock sample assay results and advancing the Project toward drill-ready status in 2026.’

Year-end Review

The 2025 exploration program at the Copper Dome Project represented a key advancement in the systematic evaluation of the property, highlighted by the receipt of a five-year exploration drilling permit. This permit provides the Company with a defined multi-year framework to plan and execute phased drilling programs, significantly de-risking future exploration timelines.

In parallel, the Company expanded the Project footprint through strategic staking and acquisition of adjacent claims, consolidating a contiguous land package totaling 12,833 hectares. Fall fieldwork established a robust geological foundation, including 53 fully documented field stations, and identified copper sulphide mineralization and alteration assemblages indicative of proximity to porphyry-style mineralization. Rock samples collected during the program have been submitted for assaying, with results expected to further refine geological interpretations and prioritize drill targets.

Upcoming Catalysts

Q1 2026 – Rock sample assay results
January 2026 – Vancouver Resource Investment Conference
January 2026 – AME Roundup 2026
March 2026 – Professional & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) Convention
Q2 2026 onward – Further exploration activities

About The Copper Dome Project

Copper Dome is located in the lower Quesnel Trough porphyry belt, one of British Columbia’s most prolific mining districts. The Project directly adjoins Hudbay Minerals Inc.’s (TSX: HBM) producing Copper Mountain Mine to the north which hosts Proven and Probable Reserves of 702 million tonnes grading 0.24% Cu, 0.09 g/t Au, and 0.72 g/t Ag (hudbayminerals.com). Multiple mineralized zones have been identified across the Property, with historical drilling confirming high-grade copper associated with northeast-trending structures similar to those hosting mineralization at Copper Mountain.*

The Project benefits from excellent infrastructure, enabling year-round access, cost-efficient exploration, and a stable, low-risk jurisdiction.

Historical Work Completed

  • Geophysics: 51 km of induced polarization (IP); airborne magnetic and electromagnetic (EM) coverage over ~50% of the Property
  • Sampling: 2,253 soils and 378 rocks collected
  • Drilling: 8,900+ m of diamond drilling
  • Trenching: Over 1 km excavated

With a five-year drill permit in place, the Company is focused on advancing the Project toward drill-ready target definition.

* Management cautions that past results, discoveries and mineralization on Copper Mountain are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on Copper Dome.

Investor Insight

Centurion Minerals offers investors an early-stage entry point into a strategically located gold exploration company positioned within one of North America’s most prolific and active mining districts. With a restructured corporate foundation, and a highly experienced geological and corporate finance team, the company is primed for value-creating discoveries.

Overview

Centurion Minerals (TSXV:CTN) is a Canadian exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of precious metals projects in the Americas.

Location map of the Casa Berardi West property in Northeastern Ontario

The company’s strategy is centered on advancing high-quality, early-stage gold assets through systematic exploration to define drill-ready targets and unlock the discovery potential inherent in its three-part claim package: the Newman, Noseworthy and Hepburn properties. Situated near major operations and new discoveries, these claims benefit from excellent infrastructure, year-round road access and proximity to proven mineralized structural corridors. Centurion intends to increase shareholder value through targeted geophysics, ground truthing and drilling programs designed to reveal new high-grade zones, as well as through potential future acquisitions of complementary gold assets across the Americas.

Backed by a leadership team with decades of exploration, geology, corporate finance and project development experience, Centurion is positioned to capitalize on strong gold market fundamentals and renewed investor interest in junior exploration companies. With a low current valuation and advancing work program, the company provides leverage to both exploration success and broader trends in the gold sector.

Company Highlights

  • Highly prospective gold project in a world-class district located in the central north Abitibi greenstone belt, adjacent to major deposits and producing mines including Hecla Mining’s (NYSE:HL) Casa Berardi mine and Agnico Eagle’s (TSX:AEM) Detour Lake operations.
  • Exceptional closeology advantage, with its Casa Berardi West project situated just 12 km from AMEX Exploration’s (TSXV:AMX) 1.6 Moz “Perron” discovery and along the same structural corridors that have produced multi-million-ounce deposits.
  • Significant historic drilling across the three claim groups, including results up to 38 g/t gold and multiple intervals indicating gold-bearing iron formations and shear zones.
  • Clear exploration strategy including historic data compilation, geophysical surveys, target generation and a planned program to define new mineralized zones.
  • Experienced management and technical team with decades of experience in mineral exploration, and international corporate finance, enhances the potential of uncovering additional exploration opportunities.
  • Low market capitalization and recently reactivated corporate structure, offering investors a low entry point ahead of meaningful upside catalysts.

Key Project

Casa Berardi West Gold Project

The Casa Berardi West project is Centurion’s flagship gold exploration asset, encompassing approximately 6,732 hectares across three contiguous claim groups – Newman, Noseworthy and Hepburn – located 66 km northeast of Cochrane, Ontario. The project sits along structural corridors that host some of the region’s most significant deposits, including Hecla Mining’s Casa Berardi mine (3 Moz past production, plus 4 Moz in reserves and resources), Agnico Eagle’s Detour Lake mine (15 Moz reserve, producing ~659,000 oz of gold per year ), and AMEX Exploration’s Perron discovery (1.6 Moz measured and indicated resource at 6.14 g/t gold).

Location of the three claim groups at Casa Berardi West

Geological Setting & Closeology Advantage

The project is situated within the central north Abitibi Subprovince, an Archean greenstone belt known globally for its prolific endowment of gold and base metals. The claims lie adjacent to geological features associated with multiple major deposits – iron formations, shear zones and VMS trends – creating strong analogues to high-grade gold mines such as the Musselwhite mine in Northern Ontario.

This “closeology” positioning significantly enhances the potential for Centurion’s ground to host similar mineralization.

Historic Results & Target Areas

Historic exploration across the Casa Berardi West project – spanning more than 70 RC and diamond drill holes – has already confirmed the presence of gold-bearing structures and favorable host rocks. Notably, previous work returned multiple samples above 1 g/t gold, including a standout result of 38 g/t gold, demonstrating strong mineralization potential across the claim area.

Significant historic drill results at Newman target

Across the three claim groups, drilling and geophysical surveys have identified key geological features associated with major deposits in the region, including iron formations, shear zones and sulphidized horizons. Several zones of interest remain untested or underexplored, particularly along structural trends that extend from nearby high-grade gold and VMS systems such as the Perron and Normetal areas.

These findings provide Centurion with multiple high-priority target areas for follow-up exploration, forming the foundation for its next phase of geophysical work and upcoming drill targeting.

Management Team

David Tafel – Director, President and CEO

David Tafel brings over 30 years of experience in corporate structuring, strategic planning, financing and executive management across multiple public and private resource companies. He has raised several hundred million dollars for ventures in mining, technology and life sciences, and previously managed private investment funds at Canada’s largest independent securities firm.

Vice President JD Vance is amplifying his message for next year’s midterm elections, when Republicans will be defending their congressional majorities.

Vance, speaking at a major conservative summit this weekend, pointed to the Democrats and predicted that Republicans ‘are gonna kick their ass next November.’

The comment from the vice president on Sunday sparked immediate chants of ‘USA’ from the crowd at the annual AmericaFest conference by Turning Point USA, the influential and politically powerful conservative group.

The annual gathering was Turning Point’s first since co-founder and conservative champion Charlie Kirk was assassinated in September.

Vance and Charlie Kirk were close friends, and the vice president, who credits Kirk with his political rise, appeared to blame ‘far left’ Democrats and their agenda for his death.

‘If you miss Charlie Kirk, do you promise to fight what he died for? Do you promise to take the country back from the people who took his life?’ Vance asked the crowd.

While President Donald Trump remains the top draw, Vance is expected to play a large role on the campaign trail next year on behalf of fellow Republicans and his address at Turning Point, as well as his speech in battleground Pennsylvania a week ago on the issue of affordability, are likely to be an appetizer for things to come in 2026.

‘The VP will be playing a big role on the trail next year,’ a source close to the vice president told Fox News Digital.

But pointing to the president’s and vice president’s anything but stellar poll numbers, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) argued, ‘Here’s the reality J.D. Vance and Trump are unwilling to face: Americans give them record-low approval ratings for failed leadership that has led to massive layoffs, skyrocketing prices, and economic uncertainty.’

‘Every stop on the White House’s midterm campaign tour reminds Americans of how Republicans have made life harder. One year into the Trump-Vance administration, their 2024 coalition is unraveling because they have betrayed their own voters to give tax breaks to billionaires,’ DNC rapid response director Kendall Witmer emphasized in a statement to Fox News Digital.

While Vance has yet to say anything publicly on whether he’ll launch a 2028 campaign to succeed the term-limited Trump, he is considered by many on the right to be the president’s heir apparent to eventually take over the MAGA mantle.

And the conference, which drew tens of thousands of MAGA supporters, kicked off on Thursday with Charlie Kirk’s widow backing Vance in 2028.

Ericka Kirk, who took over the reins of Turning Point after her husband’s murder, said, ‘We are going to get my husband’s friend JD Vance elected for 48 in the most resounding way possible,’ in 2028. ‘Forty-eight’ refers to the number of the next president.

Vance, at the top of his speech on Sunday, thanked Kirk for her ‘kind words of support for this administration and for me personally.’

The backing of the vice president by Kirk and Turning Point, which is particularly influential among younger conservatives and whose political arm has built up a powerful grassroot outreach operation, could give Vance a major boost should he decide to run for president in the 2028 election.

The Trump administration is recalling about 30 ambassadors from around the world to align U.S. representation with President Donald Trump’s America First agenda, Fox News learned on Monday.

The recalled diplomats are not being fired, a senior administration official confirmed to Fox News, but rather will be reassigned elsewhere at the State Department.

‘This is a standard process in any administration,’ a senior State Department official told Fox News in a statement. ‘An ambassador is a personal representative of the President, and it is the President’s right to ensure that he has individuals in these countries who advance the America First agenda.’

‘We encourage returning ambassadors to continue serving their country by finding new opportunities within the Department to advance President Trump’s America First agenda,’ the statement continued.

An official told Fox News that none of those diplomats who are being recalled to Washington are being punished or otherwise retaliated against personally and that they are all welcome to apply for other assignments within the State Department.

Throughout this process, every effort was made to ‘prioritize continuity,’ with the president making decisions with an eye toward keeping continuity of operations intact and not derailing U.S. interests, according to a senior official.

This means ambassadors will not be recalled from a country at war, or a country in the middle of high-stakes negotiations with the U.S.

While it is normal for a president to recall ambassadors for various reasons, a recall in numbers as large as this does not usually happen at one time.

An official told Fox News that the recall is happening in a large number to expedite realignment.

The highest-ranking Minnesotan in Congress is demanding accountability for anyone who was involved in or aware of the growing social services fraud scandal in the Gopher State.

‘I think as they start to peel this onion back, which just seems to be getting deeper and deeper and broader and broader, whoever was responsible needs to be held accountable,’ House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, the No. 3 House Republican, told Fox News Digital.

It comes after U.S. attorneys suggested that Minnesota social services programs could have seen potentially billions of dollars’ worth of fraud and abuse since 2018.

Top state officials like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz have heaped doubt on the size and scope floated by federal authorities, though Walz has said he has been working to crack down on the millions of dollars’ worth of fraud that has been detected.

Emmer stopped short of calling for Walz to resign when asked by Fox News Digital, stating, ‘I don’t think that’s my call,’ but said anyone found to be culpable in the scandal should be held accountable.

‘I would put it this way — everyone is entitled to due process, and we need all the facts. But if someone knowingly and willingly allowed people to steal the taxpayers’ money and send it back to terrorists in Somalia, they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,’ he said.

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota have charged multiple people with stealing more than $240 million from the Federal Child Nutrition Program through the Minnesota-based nonprofit Feeding Our Future.

The nonprofit’s founder, Aimee Bock, was found guilty of multiple counts related to fraud in a trial earlier this year.

The probe has since widened to multiple state-run programs being investigated for potential fraud, however.

‘This thing is mushrooming into a much bigger fraud issue spanning over several different programs and potentially different jurisdictions,’ Emmer said. ‘As this thing mushrooms, number one, let’s make sure we hold the people accountable. I will tell you what I believe. My personal opinion is there is no way that a billion dollars-plus got its way out of the Walz administration without someone in the administration being aware and/or complicit.’

‘That’s what we need to find out — how high does that go? According to our U.S. attorney, it goes to the highest level of Minnesota government. He didn’t use names, but I know what the highest level is. We’ll see. Let’s see the proof.’

‘Incompetence or dereliction’: Minnesota lawmaker rips Tim Walz as state fraud losses mount

Walz, who is running for a third term, took accountability in remarks to reporters on Friday: ‘This is on my watch. I am accountable for this. And more importantly, I am the one that will fix it.’

But he questioned whether federal prosecutors’ accusations that the fraud could have totaled in the billions were politically motivated.

‘You should be equally outraged about $1 or whatever that number is, but they’re using that number without the proof behind it,’ Walz said. ‘But to extrapolate what that number is for sensationalism, or to make statements about it, it doesn’t really help us.’

Nine Mile Metals LTD. (CSE: NINE,OTC:VMSXF) (OTC Pink: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Nine Mile’) is pleased to announce that the 3rd drill hole in its Wedge Western Extension Drill Program (DDH-WD-25-02B) has been completed.

  • DDH WD-25-02B was collared approximately 60 meters northwest of WD-25-01 and drilled at an azimuth of 325 degrees and a dip of -50 degrees to a final depth of 122 meters further increasing the mineralized footprint of the target to the west (Figure 3).
  • DDH WD-25-02B was successful, with massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS – Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) found associated with the contact breccia at 56.4m depth with mineralization continuing to 122 meters.
  • The sulphide mineralization in the drill hole occurred in both sediments and volcanics, terminating in massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS – Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) with visible Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) as seen in Figure 1.
  • Downhole ground conditions in the fault zone (sand seams, gouge) led to the termination of the drill hole at 122 meters, as we were drilling through a massive copper zone (Figure 1).
  • Most Sample sections between 53.0 and 122.0 meters were 3 meters in length, to provide the best overall data for the drill hole. Smaller sample widths were identified and cut where appropriate.
  • With massive mineralization present at the base of the drill hole, a new drill hole is being designed by the Technical Team, to be initiated from the other side of the fault zone, (New – to be permitted) in Phase 2 – 2026.

All drill core has been measured, logged, photographed, marked and cut for sampling at the company’s warehouse in Bathurst, New Brunswick. A quick XRF analysis was also completed for sulphide confirmation – filtering and width identification in definition for sampling core for ALS Global. A total of (27) 3 meter sections have been identified for Base and Precious Metals analysis, including Antimony, and have been shipped to ALSGlobal, Moncton, New Brunswick for processing.

Gary Lohman, VP Exploration, Director, stated, ‘Drilling continues to intersect massive copper bearing mineralization in the western portion of the Wedge. The style of the mineralization varies from massive VMS (Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) to sequences of intercalated volcanics and VMS bands. XRF analysis has confirmed the high presence of copper, and we look forward to obtaining the permits required to drill this high-grade zone from the other side of the fault zone in the spring drill phase. The mineralization just continues to impress. We look forward to testing the thickness of this area of the target zone.’

Patrick J. Cruickshank, MBA, CEO & Director, stated, ‘Our 3rd drill hole, WD-25-02B continues to demonstrate the high-quality mineralization at this deposit and now we are testing the depth on the western flank of the targets. The samples clearly confirm multiple Copper rich zones, and we are systematically drilling the area to help identify the size and scale of this body. We look forward to revisiting this area of the Target Plate in our next phase of drilling, as we were just entering a very impressive high grade copper zone. We now have (3) completed drill holes with all core sample sections delivered ALS Global Labs for ‘Rush’ processing. Our team has been highly motivated to process and ship the drill core quickly for expediated assay results from ALS Global (Moncton).’

Senate Democrats are mounting a legal offensive against the Trump administration for its handling of the release of files and materials related to Jeffrey Epstein, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has teed up the first salvo. 

Schumer on Monday announced that he would file a resolution that would compel the Senate to take legal action against the Trump administration for ‘illegally refusing to release the complete Epstein files and heavily redacting the files that are released.’ 

‘The law Congress passed is crystal clear: release the Epstein files in full, so Americans can see the truth,’ Schumer said in a statement. ‘Instead, the Trump Department of Justice dumped redactions and withheld the evidence — that breaks the law. Today, I am introducing a resolution to force the Senate to take legal action and compel this administration to comply.’

Schumer’s move comes just days after the Department of Justice (DOJ) dumped several hundred thousand documents and photos from its trove of materials related to the late Epstein. Schumer and Senate Democrats warned ahead of the document dump on Friday that unless the DOJ fully complied with the recently passed law, they would seek legal action.

They argue that Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DOJ didn’t follow the law, which Congress passed nearly unanimously out of both chambers last month.

Schumer, who forced a successful vote in the Senate on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, previously argued that the ‘heavily redacted documents released by the Department of Justice today is just a fraction of the whole body of evidence.’

‘Simply releasing a mountain of blacked-out pages violates the spirit of transparency and the letter of the law,’ Schumer said in a statement. ‘For example, all 119 pages of one document were completely blacked out. We need answers as to why.’

The law required that the DOJ release all unclassified records related to Epstein, his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, known associates and entities linked to Epstein and Maxwell, internal DOJ decision-making on the Epstein case, records on destroying or tampering with documents, and all documents on his detention and death.

There were narrow exceptions to what the government could opt against releasing, including materials that reveal victims’ identities or medical files, child sex abuse materials, information that could jeopardize active investigations, images of graphic death or injury, or classified national security information.

Schumer and congressional Democrats, along with some congressional Republicans, were already peeved that the DOJ wasn’t going to dump every document in its possession by Friday’s deadline.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that day that the agency would be taking a phased approach and said he expected ‘that we’re going to release more documents over the next couple of weeks,’ as the DOJ worked to comb through every document to ensure ‘every victim, their name, their identity, their story, to the extent it needs to be protected, is completely protected.’

But it was the inclusion of several heavily redacted documents without explanation as to why they were blacked out that raised lawmakers’ eyebrows.

Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who also is the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said that Friday’s release ‘could have been a win for survivors, accountability, and transparency to the public. It wasn’t.’

He accused the Trump administration of breaking the law with how it handled the document dump and vowed that the Judiciary Committee would investigate.

‘Senate Judiciary Democrats will investigate this violation of law and make sure the American people know about it,’ Durbin said in a statement. ‘The survivors deserve better. It’s clear Donald Trump and his Republican enablers are working for the rich and powerful elites — and not you.’
