A former security guard at the U.S. Embassy in Norway was convicted of spying on behalf of Russia and Iran, a report said. 

The 28-year-old Norwegian, whose identity has not been made public, was sentenced Wednesday to three years and seven months, The Associated Press reported. 

A Norwegian police official reportedly told Reuters at the time of the suspect’s arrest last November that he was working at the U.S. Embassy in Oslo, Norway’s capital. 

The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday from Fox News Digital. 

Prosecutors alleged that the man handed over details about the embassy’s diplomats, its floor plans and security routines, among other information, Norwegian state broadcaster NRK reported. The broadcaster added that American ties to Israel and the war in Gaza prompted the man to contact Russia and Iran. 

The suspect acknowledged the indictment’s facts but denied any criminal guilt, according to the AP.

The man’s defense attorneys said in a statement Thursday that the verdict raises questions about what is considered espionage under Norwegian law. 

‘He lied about having security clearance to agents from other countries and exaggerated his own role,’ attorney Inger Zadig of Elden Law Firm told the AP. ‘He had roughly the same level of access as a janitor at the embassy. The information he shared was worthless and neither separately nor collectively capable of harming individuals or the security interests of any state.’ 

The defendant was found guilty of five espionage-related charges and was acquitted of gross corruption. His defense attorneys are weighing whether to appeal the verdict. 

At the time of his arrest last November, the man had been studying for a bachelor’s degree in security and preparedness at Norway’s Arctic University, UiT.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., accused the Democratic Party of being taken over by far-left ‘Marxists’ on Day 16 of the federal government shutdown.

The leader of the House of Representatives was visibly frustrated while speaking to reporters on Thursday, accusing Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and other Democrat leaders of prolonging the fiscal standoff for political gain.

‘This is not your grandfather’s Democratic Party. It truly has become the far-left, Marxist-left, that are running that whole operation. And it has real effects on real people,’ Johnson said.

Senate Democrats have now rejected Republicans’ federal funding plan 10 times.

Republicans put forward last month a seven-week extension of fiscal year (FY) 2025 funding levels, called a continuing resolution (CR), aimed at giving congressional negotiators more time to strike a long-term deal for FY2026.

But Democrats in the House and Senate were infuriated by being sidelined in those talks. Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said their caucuses would not accept any deal that does not include serious healthcare concessions, at least extending COVID-19 pandemic-era Obamacare subsidies that are set to expire at the end of this year.

Johnson and Republicans have accused Schumer of kowtowing to pressure by progressives after he was key to helping the same funding bill pass the Senate in March, avoiding a shutdown earlier this year. That move saw Schumer face a barrage of attacks from his left flank.

‘The only explanation for this is that Chuck Schumer does not want to face the heat and the scrutiny and the abuse that he took in March for doing the right, responsible thing by the far-left voices in his party,’ Johnson said.

He said the ‘voices of the party’ were Democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., as well as New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

‘Look, Mamdani is on a path, shockingly, sadly, frighteningly, to become the elected mayor of the largest city in America, the once-cradle of capitalism. There is a Marxist rise in the Democratic Party,’ Johnson said.

‘The old guard — and I’m saying old guard, Chuck Schumer has been here for 44 years — he is not the flavor of the month, and he knows that he’s going to get a challenge. If it’s not AOC, it’ll be another disciple of Mamdani or somebody like that.’

He said Democrats ‘have to stand for the farthest-left ideas, socialism, communism, Marxism, right now to be in favor in the Democratic Party.’

Schumer, in turn, has criticized Johnson for his decision to keep the House in recess while the Senate’s fiscal standoff continues.

‘Republican leaders, especially Speaker Johnson, continue to dig in. The speaker has now kept the House Republicans on vacation for three weeks, as if they can make the issue go away by letting House Republicans hide. Well, the American people don’t have time for Republican inaction,’ Schumer said Wednesday.

Standard Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: STND,OTC:STTDF) (OTCQB: STTDF) (FSE: FWB:9SU0) (‘Standard Uranium’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce preliminary results from its 2025 exploration program at the Rocas Uranium Project (‘Rocas’, or the ‘Project’), currently under a three-year earn-in option agreement with Collective Metals Inc. (‘Collective Metals’) (CSE: COMT). From September 30th to October 8th, 2025, the Company completed a detailed mapping and sampling program across historical uranium showings and zones of interest on the Project, identifying multiple zones of strong radioactivity.

Highlights:

  • Strong Radioactivity at Surface – Verification of strong radioactivity at multiple historical uranium showings, with several handheld scintillometer measurements exceeding 10,000 counts per second (‘cps’) at surface.

  • Discovery of New Radioactive Showings – Scintillometer prospecting identified previously undocumented radioactive anomalies across the Project area within lithologies favorable for uranium and Rare Earth Element (‘REE’) mineralization.

  • Prime Location – Geological mapping along structural and electromagnetic (‘EM’) trends across the Project confirmed the presence of deformed and hydrothermally altered basement lithologies along more than 7.5 km of exploration strike length south of Key Lake.

  • New Uranium Targets – Results from a high-resolution ground gravity survey completed in 2024 highlight potential alteration halos and high-priority exploration targets along well-defined structural corridors. A diamond drill program is planned for 2026 to test targets identified and prioritized through detailed exploration activities carried out this year.

‘The confirmation of strong radioactivity at the Rocas Project is an exciting step forward, directly validating historical uranium showings and highlighting the Project’s discovery potential,’ said Sean Hillacre, President & VP Exploration of Standard Uranium. ‘Surface grab samples and technical information collected during this program not only strengthen our geological model but also add real value ahead of a maiden drill program planned for next year.’

2025 Prospecting Program – Preliminary Results

The Rocas project comprises 4,002 hectares, located 75 kilometers southwest of the Key Lake Mine and Mill facilities along Highway 914, and approximately 72 kilometers south of the present-day margin of the Athabasca Basin (Figure 1). Beginning September 30th and concluding October 8th, 2025, the Standard Uranium technical team completed a detailed mapping, prospecting, and sampling program to ground-truth historical uranium showings at surface on the Project.

  • A total of 16 outcrop and boulder grab samples have been submitted to Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon, SK for whole-rock, uranium, and REE geochemical analysis.

  • Prospecting confirmed several uraniferous outcrops and boulders across the Project, including SMDI showing 5781 (1,100 ppm U)1. Anomalous* radioactivity with a peak of >33,000 cps was measured at SMDI showing 5781 (Figure 2) with several other instances of elevated radiometry were noted, locally up to 26,000 cps.

  • A total of 73 handheld scintillometer readings of anomalous radioactivity >300 cps were recorded, including 10 measurements >10,000 cps at surface (Figure 3). Prospecting for radioactive boulders and outcrop was completed using handheld RS-120 Super-Scintillometers and RS-125 Super-Spectrometers manufactured by Radiation Solutions Inc. (‘RSI’).

  • More than 150 detailed geological observations, structural measurements, and scintillometer readings were taken from several outcrops across the Project within the target areas, identifying deformed and hydrothermally altered basement lithologies associated with radioactivity (Figure 4).

Rocas Project Exploration

The Company plans to complete the first ever drill program on the Project in 2026 to begin testing high-priority zones along the main 7.5 kilometre magnetic low/EM conductive corridor, which is host to several uranium showings and has remained un-drill tested to date.

Earlier this year, the Company contracted MWH Geo-Surveys (Canada) Ltd. to carry out a high-resolution ground gravity survey over the Rocas Project2, while Convolutions Geoscience Corporation has completed subsequent processing, interpretation, and modelling of the gravity data. The ground gravity survey outlines several gravity low anomalies coincident with historical surface mineralization, lakebed geochemical anomalies, and cross-cutting fault zones along the known conductive exploration trends on the Project.

Historical airborne EM work in 2017 defined conductive trends on the Project west of and sub-parallel to the Key Lake Road shear zone, corresponding with favourable metasedimentary basement lithologies. Multiple parallel conductors, offsets, and termination points indicate the trend widening and potential cross-cutting structures. Additionally, a 2007 field sampling program identified anomalous lakebed geochemical anomalies that statistically rank as greater than 95th percentile U, Co, V, and Zn along the conductor corridor, including high U/Th ratios3.

The Company believes the Project is highly prospective for the discovery of shallow, high-grade** basement-hosted uranium mineralization. Positioned proximal to the margin of the Athabasca Basin, Rocas boasts shallow drill targets with bedrock under minimal glacial till cover. Historical mineralized outcrop grab samples along approximately 900 metres of strike length, returned values ranging from 587 ppm U (SN85073) up to 0.498 wt.% U3O8 (SN23901) and have never been drill tested4.

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 the world’s richest uranium district. The Company holds interest in over 235,435 acres (95,277 hectares) in the world-class 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.

Senate Democrats wanted an equal say in crafting spending bills before the shutdown and are about to get a chance to do so, but they’re unlikely to support Republicans’ latest effort to jump-start the government funding process.

The Senate on Thursday is set to move through a procedural hurdle on the annual defense spending bill, which, among other things, would ensure that military service members would get their paychecks.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., teed up the bill earlier this week as the shutdown raged on to pressure Senate Democrats to make good on their desire to fund the government in a bipartisan manner, and in the hopes of getting the appropriations process moving again. 

‘We can actually get the appropriations process going forward,’ Thune said. ‘So that’s in the works.’

And in the Senate, given the 60-vote filibuster threshold, spending bills are prime examples of the many pieces of legislation that have to be bipartisan to pass. But Senate Democrats seemed unwilling to go all in on supporting the defense bill, and like the Republicans’ plan to reopen the government, appear ready to block Thune’s effort.

They want to know exactly what Republicans plan to put on the floor later on, despite the vote on Thursday afternoon being designed to give lawmakers the chance to move forward with at least one of several spending bills that must be passed to fund the government.

‘We have to see what they’re going to put on the floor,’ Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said. ‘They haven’t told us yet.’

Republicans are also eyeing at least three other spending bills to attach to the defense appropriations bill, including legislation that would fund the departments of Labor, Commerce, Transportation, Health and Human Services, and Housing and Urban Development.

Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., is a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee and appears ready for the reality that Democrats would block the defense bill and broader spending package.

‘You have to start with the defense, and then you can add the other ones to it, but once again, it takes agreement by our Dem colleagues that want to move that forward,’ he said. ‘I’m not sure that we’ve got the votes to do that yet.’

There is a trust deficit between Senate Democrats and Republicans from earlier this year when the GOP passed President Donald Trump’s request to claw back billions in funding for foreign aid and NPR and PBS, in addition to continued actions by Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought to withhold or cancel funding for Democratic priorities.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., told Fox News Digital after Senate Democrats met behind closed doors on Wednesday that there had been no indication from Republicans there would be ‘bipartisan cooperation or any willingness to put any guardrails around what they plan to do.’

‘I think the stage we’re at is that we’ve been shown nothing,’ he said. ‘So there’s no reason to vote for it yet.’

‘I think what was needed is a larger agreement about how the appropriations process is moving forward, so it’s clear that our priorities are respected,’ he continued.

However, pairing the defense bill could grease the wheels for some in the Democratic caucus.

‘No, not unless it’s paired with [the Labor and HHS bill],’ Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, said.

Thune’s move to reignite the appropriations process, an exercise that played out in the Senate in early August when lawmakers advanced a trio of funding bills ahead of the shutdown deadline, is part of Republicans’ broader desire to fund the government the old-fashioned way, rather than through a colossal omnibus spending package.

It’s an exercise, however, that hasn’t been fully completed since the 1990s.

Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., noted to Fox News Digital that a major part of selecting a new leader for the Senate GOP was returning to what’s known as regular order, or passing spending to fund the government.

He argued that when Schumer ran the Senate as majority leader, the upper chamber was often resigned to passing ‘these omnibus bills that were developed in the, you know, middle of the night with four people.’

‘We’re not interested in that. So we want to get bills on the floor, and they’ve got to move in a bipartisan way, right? So I think this is something that I would hope Democrats would support, too,’ he said. ‘But if their mentality is at this point, you know, just oppose everything Republicans want to do, it’s pathological, and I don’t have any advice for them except seek help.’

Republicans are still trying to reopen the government and plan to put the House-passed continuing resolution (CR) on the floor again Thursday for a 10th time. And just like many times before, it is expected to fail.

When asked if he believed that the shutdown could transform into lawmakers passing spending bills one-by-one to reopen the government, Thune said, ‘I certainly hope not.’

Former President Barack Obama endorsed former Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger in Virginia’s governor race, releasing a pair of ads attacking Republicans. 

The contest between Spanberger, a former CIA officer, and Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears is one of only two governor races in the U.S. this November. The contests are viewed as political bellwethers ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. 

‘Virginia’s elections are some of the most important in the country this year. We know Republicans will keep attacking abortion rights and the rights of women. That’s why having the right governor matters, and I’m proud to endorse Abigail Spanberger,’ Obama said in one of the ads, titled ‘Protect Our Rights.’ 

‘In Congress, Abigail held Republicans accountable and fought to protect voting rights and abortion rights,’ Obama said. ‘But it won’t happen without you. Every vote counts, so turn out. Virginia, Abigail Spanberger is the best choice for governor.’

Earle-Sears’ press secretary Peyton Vogel told Fox News Digital in reaction to the ads that, ‘Abigail Spanberger is scared, and it shows.’

‘After losing support across Virginia, she’s leaning on liberal elites to try and save her collapsing campaign. This is a desperate play from a candidate who’s run out of support, out of ideas, and out of time. Voters see through it, and that’s why Winsome Earle-Sears is surging,’ Vogel added.

In the other ad, Obama said, ‘Republican policies are raising costs on working families so [that] billionaires can get massive tax cuts.’

‘As governor, Abigail will stand up for Virginia families,’ Obama said. ‘She’ll work to build an economy that works for everyone, not just big corporations and the wealthy.’ 

Earle-Sears most recently criticized Spanberger on her X account Wednesday night for her reaction to the texting scandal surrounding Democratic Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones. 

The scandal involving Jones came to light earlier this month when the National Review published text message exchanges between Jones and his former state legislative colleague, Republican House Delegate Carrie Coyner. In the exchanges, Jones appears to call for violence against then-Virginia House of Delegates Speaker Todd Gilbert, his wife, Jennifer, and their children. 

‘Jay Jones expressed his desire to murder a dad and his two young boys — and to see police officers get shot,’ Earle-Sears said. ‘Abigail Spanberger still supports him.’ 

Fox News Digital reported this week that Spanberger’s campaign store continues to sell merchandise co-branded with the rest of the statewide Democratic ticket — which includes Jones. 

Fox News’ Paul Steinhauser, Rachel Wolf and Charles Creitz contributed to this report.

When U.S. forces launched strikes against Iranian military targets in June, critics warned it could ignite a regional inferno — even the start of World War III. Four months later, the Middle East is quieter than at any point in years. Iranian proxies have scaled back attacks, Gulf tensions have cooled, and Washington has shifted attention toward the Western Hemisphere.

The unexpected calm is raising a new question: Did decisive U.S. action restore deterrence — or has Washington simply been lucky?

Those who favor a more forceful U.S. foreign policy counted Iran’s lack of a response as a win for their frame of mind — and a loss for restrainers. They now credit the strikes with bringing about a period of relative peace that culminated in a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas this week.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., publicly broke from her longtime support of President Donald Trump after the strikes.

‘Six months in and here we are turning back on the campaign promises, and we bombed Iran on behalf of Israel,’ she said on Newsmax at the time.

‘We’re entering a nuclear war, World War Three, because the entire world is going to erupt. And you know what, the people that are cheering it on right now, their tune is going to drastically change the minute we start seeing flag-draped coffins on the nightly news.’

On Monday, she praised Trump for brokering the peace deal between Israel and Hamas. ‘Blessed are the peacemakers! May healing begin for all.’ 

‘You’ve put every U.S. troop and embassy in the region at risk and squandered America’s diplomatic leverage — though you’ll likely think you’ve strengthened it,’ said Adam Weinstein, deputy director of the Middle East Program at the Quincy Institute, at the time.

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., claimed the strike ‘put the United States on a path to a war in the Middle East that the country does not want, the law does not allow, and our security does not demand.’

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., was even more blunt. ‘It was a good week for the neocons in the military-industrial complex who want war all the time,’ he said on CBS’ Face the Nation.

Four months later, those who once warned of a spiral toward World War III are facing an uncomfortable reality: the region is largely quiet.

‘Those who warned of World War III before the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran fundamentally misunderstood both the nature of deterrence and the regime in Tehran,’ said Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

‘Strength and resolve don’t invite escalation — they prevent it. What we’ve seen in recent months is a return to deterrence through escalation dominance: Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and other American enemies are recalibrating precisely because the United States finally imposed real costs on the Islamic Republic.’

Dubowitz said years of Western restraint emboldened Iran. ‘For years, Western policymakers indulged in a fantasy that restraint would produce stability,’ he said. ‘It did the opposite. Tehran read our de-escalation as weakness and kept pushing.’

‘Everybody who said that a strike on Iran would be a disaster was wrong,’ said Matthew Kroenig, vice president of the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center and a former Pentagon strategist. ‘These fears about Iranian retaliation and region-wide war were exaggerated. Iran doesn’t want a major war with the United States, the greatest superpower on earth that could end its regime. Instead, Iran engaged in some kind of token retaliation, and the whole thing died down.’

Trump’s authorization of the strikes was not a departure from his ‘America First’ principles, as Greene suggested, but a continuation of them.

‘When it comes to hitting an adversary hard, Trump has always been open to that kind of short, sharp, decisive use of force to achieve a clear objective,’ Kroenig said.

Those in the restraint camp say they don’t count Trump’s decision as a total loss for their viewpoint. They argue that predictions of a wider war were based on a different scenario — one that Trump ultimately avoided.

‘The prediction that this could lead to a wider war was for the scenario in which the U.S. would join Israel in a larger military campaign against Iran with the intent of regime change,’ said Trita Parsi, co-founder of the Quincy Institute. ‘This is not what Trump opted for. He clearly signaled to Tehran before the strikes where he would strike to ensure that the locations would be vacated and that there would be no casualties. He also signaled his intent to only strike these sites and be done with it. This significantly reduced the risk of a larger escalation.’

Rosemary Kelanic of Defense Priorities acknowledged that the strikes were ‘not a win for restraint’ in principle, and though the U.S. felt few repercussions, it was still a gamble.

‘I think it’s really easy to learn the wrong lesson from this, which is, all we have to do is go in and bomb for 45 minutes and then everyone will back down,’ she said. ‘Most of the time, U.S. military force doesn’t actually produce the outcomes that we want.’

Adam Weinstein said the operation came at the cost of diplomacy, noting that the strikes took place in the midst of ongoing negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear program.

‘The strikes were a setback on diplomacy with Iran,’ he said. ‘They negatively affected the world’s ability to ensure that Iran doesn’t develop a nuclear capability. It essentially destroyed trust between Iran and the international community.’

Spartan Metals Corp.

Vancouver, Canada, October 16, 2025 TheNewswire – Spartan Metals Corp. (‘ Spartan ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) (TSX-V: W) is pleased to announce, it has initiated an exploration program (‘ Program ‘) at its Eagle Tungsten-Silver-Rubidium Project in Nevada (Figure 1). The focus of the Program will be characterizing the tailings at the historic Tungstonia millsite and completing extensive surface exploration at the Tungstonia and Rees claim blocks.

This Program will execute the entire Phase 1 of the recommended work program from Spartan’s July 31, 2025, NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Eagle Project and will be expanded to include the Surface Geology Program component of Phase 2. Results acquired from this campaign will be used to support future work plans and drill target generation.

Tungstonia Mill Tailings Characterization

The characterization of Tungstonia Millsite tailings will be the primary focus of the exploration activities and drilling will begin on October 20, 2025 . Drilling at the historic tailings site will use a hollow stem auger to collect samples. All samples collected will be used for thorough geochemical and metallurgical analysis, as well as to define the overall geometry for tonnage calculations, 3D modeling, quantitative assessment, resource estimation, and economic evaluation.

Surface Geology Program

The surface geology program will encompass both Tungstonia and Rees Claim blocks, with an emphasis on comprehensive soil sampling at an approximate 100 m x 100 metre (‘ m ‘) grid (Figures 2 and 3), expanded rock and outcrop sampling, geologic mapping, and geophysical investigations—including Controlled Source Audio-frequency Magnetotellurics (CSAMT) and/or Magnetotellurics (MT)—at Tungstonia. These efforts aim to more accurately define the lateral and vertical extent of existing tungsten-silver-rubidium veins, identify new vein occurrences (Figure 4), and determine high-potential drill targets.

About The Eagle Project

The Eagle Project (‘Project’) presents a unique opportunity to delineate one of the largest and highest-grade Tungsten and Rubidium districts in the United States. The Project consists of the past-producing high-grade Tungstonia (W) and Rees/Antelope tungsten (W-Cu-Ag) mines. Operations at these mines were from 1915 to 1942 with intermittent small-scale production occurring until 1956. Tungsten production from these two mines totaled 8,379 units at grades between 0.6%-0.9% WO 3 (1).

The Project is ~20 km² in size and located approximately 120 kilometers northeast of the town of Ely, in the Kern Mountains of White Pine County, Nevada. The Project covers 4,936 acres consisting of 244 Bureau of Land Management (BLM) unpatented lode mining claims.

Three deposit types are present at Eagle; Porphyry, Skarn, and Carbonate Replacement (CRD) that contain significant or anomalous grades of Tungsten (W), Silver (Ag), and Rubidium (Rb) plus Cu-Ag-Sb±Au-Pb-Zn-Bi-As across three project focus areas that includes the potential to recover W-Rb-Ag from the legacy Tungstonia Mill Tailings.

Nevgold Corp. (‘ NevGold ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) ( TSXV:NAU,OTC:NAUFF) (OTCQX:NAUFF) (Frankfurt:5E50 ) is pleased to announce the discovery of high-grade oxide antimony in the new antimony-gold ‘Bullet Zone’ from surface at its Limousine Butte Project (the ‘Project’, ‘Limo Butte’) in Nevada. The Bullet Zone was discovered with a plus 150 meter step-out drillhole from 2025 drilling that was testing NevGold’s new geology model at the Project. The Bullet Zone discovery significantly expands the gold-antimony mineralization footprint at the Resurrection Ridge target area, which NevGold is advancing to an initial gold-antimony Mineral Resource Estimate (‘MRE’).

Key Highlights

  • Discovery of the Bullet Zone with new 2025 step-out drilling intercepts the highest-grade antimony (‘Antimony’, ‘Sb’) interval drilled to date at the Project, with grades up to 8.9% Sb :
    • LB25-002 Upper Zone (from surface): 14.90 g/t AuEq* over 4.6 meters (3.76% Sb and 0.29 g/t Au) , within 2.42 g/t AuEq* over 53.3 meters (0.57% Sb and 0.22 g/t Au)
    • LB25-002 Lower Zone: 0.82 g/t AuEq* over 32.0 meters (0.68 g/t Au and 0.04% Sb) , within 0.58 g/t AuEq* over 57.9 meters (0.45 g/t Au and 0.03% Sb)
    • *Gold equivalents (‘AuEq’) are based on assumed metals prices of US$3,000/oz of gold and US$40,000 per tonne of antimony (~30% discount to current spot prices), and assumed metals recoveries of 80% for gold and 75% for antimony.
  • Over 150 meter step-out and discovery of the Bullet Zone significantly expands the mineralization footprint at Resurrection Ridge; the Company intends to advance both Resurrection Ridge and Cadillac Valley to an initial gold-antimony Mineral Resource Estimate (‘MRE’)
    • 11 drillholes have been completed in the current 2025 drill campaign with assays pending
  • Positive samples at surface up to 6.8% antimony and 0.25 g/t Au found in road cuts during construction of the new 2025 drill pads (see Figure 1); the new drill pads are focused on expansion areas and show the extensive mineralization potential at the Project
  • Phase II metallurgical testwork on gold and antimony continues to advance with results expected over the coming weeks

Limo Butte Planned 2025 Activities / Status Update
NevGold will continue its active exploration program at Limo Butte including:

  • Evaluating the historical geological database with focus on gold and antimony (completed) ;
  • Analyzing historical drilling with focus on gold and antimony (continuous activity) ;
  • Advancing metallurgical testwork (in progress, Phase II results in coming weeks) ;
  • Continuing to drill test gold-antimony targets (ongoing, 11 drillholes completed to date) ;
  • Completing initial gold-antimony Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) (in progress) .

NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments: ‘We are extremely excited about the discovery of the high-grade antimony intercept in the new oxide gold-antimony Bullet Zone from surface . The geological concept of drilling below the older, thrusted dolomite unit was a target that our team developed over the past couple of years working at Limo Butte. The fact that we intercepted some of the highest grade mineralization that we have drilled to date at Limo Butte on the 1 st hole testing this target concept is exceptional and a testament to our technical team. The discovery of the Bullet Zone also significantly expands the mineralization footprint at Resurrection Ridge, and opens large areas of the Project overlain by dolomite, with no historical drilling .’

Bonifacio continues: ‘We are also well-positioned with Limo Butte to support the United States critical minerals strategy as the Project has both gold and antimony, and both commodities have reached all-time high prices this year. There is a clear commitment from government officials to advance high-quality, domestic, mineral projects and Limo Butte is well-advanced with its significant near-surface, oxide gold-antimony mineralization and large geological database . We are also progressing another key milestone, which is the Phase II metallurgical testwork on the gold-antimony metallurgical flowsheet building on our positive results from Phase I. All of these various work programs will help us rapidly demonstrate the gold-antimony potential at Limo Butte as we progress the asset to the next stages of project development with the objective of playing a key part in the mandate to create a vertically integrated, U.S. antimony supply chain .’

Limo Butte – Updated Geological Model Summary
The Devonian Pilot Shale (‘Pilot Shale’, ‘Pilot’) is the principal local host to Carlin-type mineralization at Limousine Butte. At Limousine Butte, positive gold grades commonly coincide with silicification and jasperoid breccias within the Pilot Shale, an alteration style also observed where elevated antimony is reported.

NevGold’s 2021–2025 work included integrating historical drilling, new mapping, and surface sampling which produced an updated district model and refined property-wide controls on mineralization. At Resurrection Ridge , Devonian–Silurian dolomite is exposed immediately east of known gold-antimony mineralization. Earlier explorers inferred that the overlying Pilot Shale had been eroded in this area, and they did not test eastward, despite shallow high-grade intercepts in the easternmost holes drilled at Resurrection Ridge. The new model indicates the older dolomite was thrust over the prospective Pilot Shale unit, creating structural preparation and a fluid trap that preserves the favorable host at depth, the classic architecture for a Carlin-type system.

Hole LB25-002 , the first test of this new NevGold geological model, collared in dolomite, passed through the upper thrust plate, and intersected gold and antimony at multiple horizons within the Pilot Shale. This drillhole result validates the model and materially expands the potential mineralization footprint: the preserved Pilot Shale extends more than one kilometer east of prior drilling at Resurrection Ridge.

Property-wide, the updated model outlines multiple Au–Sb target corridors that track outcrops and projected subsurface positions of the Pilot Shale, where repeated faulting and thrusting provided fluid pathways and focused mineralization. NevGold’s 2025 drill program continues to test these high-priority targets.

Historical records within the project boundary document two small-scale antimony prospects—the Nevada Antimony Mine and the Lage Antimony Prospect (Figure 1). The Nevada Antimony Mine extracted stibnite (Sb₂S₃) from a hydrothermal breccia via shallow pits; the Lage prospect similarly reports limited antimony production. Complementing these records, rock-chip sampling from the Golden Butte pit (Brigham Young University thesis) returned numerous assays exceeding 1% Sb in jasperoid breccias, with several over 5% Sb , including a sample grading 9.6% Sb with visible stibnite and stibiconite ( BYU Thesis Report ).

Together, these datasets support a district-scale interpretation in which thrust repetition preserves the Pilot Shale at depth east of Resurrection Ridge and focuses Au–Sb mineralization along structurally prepared horizons, establishing multiple high-priority targets for step-out drilling and follow-up work.

US Executive Order – Announced March 20, 2025
The Company is pleased to report the sweeping Executive Order to strengthen American mineral production and reduce U.S. reliance on foreign nations for its mineral supply . Antimony (Sb) has been identified as an important ‘Critical Mineral’ in the United States essential for national security, clean energy, and technology applications, yet no domestically mined supply currently exists.

The Executive Order invokes the use of the Defense Production Act as part of a broad United States (‘US’) Government effort to expand domestic minerals production on national security grounds. As it relates to project permitting, the Order states that it will ‘identify priority projects that can be immediately approved or for which permits can be immediately issued, and take all necessary or appropriate actions…to expedite and issue the relevant permits or approvals.’ Furthermore, the Order includes provisions to accelerate access to private and public capital for domestic projects, including the creation of a ‘dedicated mineral and mineral production fund for domestic investments’ under the Development Finance Corporation (‘DFC’).

This decisive action by the US Government highlights the urgent need to expand domestic minerals output to support supply chain security in the United States. This important Order will help revitalize domestic mineral production by improving the permitting process and providing financial support to qualifying domestic projects.

Importance of Antimony
Antimony is considered a ‘Critical Mineral’ by the United States based on the U.S. Geological Survey’s 2022 list (U.S.G.S. (2022)). ‘Critical Minerals’ are metals and non-metals essential to the economy and national security. Antimony is utilized in all manners of military applications, including the manufacturing of armor piercing bullets, night vision goggles, infrared sensors, precision optics, laser sighting, explosive formulations, hardened lead for bullets and shrapnel, ammunition primers, tracer ammunition, nuclear weapons and production, tritium production, flares, military clothing, and communication equipment. Other uses include technology (semi-conductors, circuit boards, electric switches, fluorescent lighting, high quality clear glass and lithium-ion batteries) and clean-energy storage.

Globally, approximately 90% of the world’s current antimony supply is produced by China, Russia, and Tajikistan. Beginning on September 15, 2024, China, which is responsible for nearly half of all global mined antimony output and dominates global refinement and processing, announced that it will restrict antimony exports. In December-2024, China explicitly restricted antimony exports to the United States citing its dual military and civilian uses, which further exacerbated global supply chain concerns. (Lv, A. and Munroe, T. (2024)) The U.S. Department of Defense (‘DOD’) has designated antimony as a ‘Critical Mineral’ due to its importance in national security, and governments are now prioritizing domestic production to mitigate supply chain disruptions. Projects exploring antimony sources in North America play a key role in addressing these challenges.

Perpetua Resources Corp. (‘Perpetua’) has the most advanced domestic gold-antimony project in the United States. Perpetua’s project, known as Stibnite, is located in Idaho approximately 130 km northeast of NevGold’s Nutmeg Mountain and Zeus projects. Positive advancements at Stibnite including the technical development and permitting has led to US$75 million in Department of Defense (‘DOD’) awards, and over $1.8 billion in indicative financing from the Export Import Bank of the United States (‘US EXIM’) ( see Perpetua Resources News Release from April 8, 2024 ) (Perpetua Resources. (2025))

TSX Venture Exchange: BSK
Frankfurt Stock Exchange: MAL2
OTCQB Venture Market (OTC): BKUCF

Blue Sky Uranium Corp. (TSXV: BSK,OTC:BKUCF), (FSE: MAL2), (OTC: BKUCF) ‘Blue Sky’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that the Company has completed an induced polarization (pole-dipole electrical tomography (‘ET’)) geophysical survey at the Ivana Gap target, located between the Company’s Ivana Deposit and Ivana Central target within the Amarillo Grande Uranium-Vanadium Project, Río Negro Province, Argentina (Figure 1). The properties hosting the Ivana Gap and Ivana Central targets are held by Blue Sky via its 100% owned subsidiary, Minera Cielo Azul S.A. (‘MCA’).

The single line ET survey has delineated a 1,400-metre wide chargeability anomaly at the Ivana Gap target, approximately 30 to 60 metres below surface, that is interpreted to relate to the northerly extension of the REDOX front trend related to the Ivana Uranium-Vanadium deposit (Figure 2). Its position, midway between the Ivana Deposit and Ivana Central, supports the interpretation of a continuous redox front trend linking these two targets. The results highlight Ivana Gap as a key area for follow-up exploration.

Nikolaos Cacos, Blue Sky President & CEO commented, ‘Geophysical surveys have proven highly effective at Amarillo Grande, first guiding our discoveries in 2017 and now advancing our work at Ivana Gap. The new ET survey highlights an intriguing anomaly suggesting we could find mineralization extending to the north of the Ivana Deposit in this area. We look forward to testing this prospective target with our next phase of exploration drilling.’

The objective of the ET survey was to refine targets for drilling by tracing the subsurface extent of the organic-rich sandstone/REDOX front between the Ivana Deposit and the Ivana Central target. The results of this geophysical survey will help guide part of an upcoming diamond drill program that is now being planned and is scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The geophysical and drilling programs described herein are being funded by Ivana Minerales S.A. (‘IMSA‘) the joint venture company (‘JVCO‘) established to advance the Ivana Uranium-Vanadium Project. Under the terms of the definitive agreement announced on December 2, 2024 IMSA has the exclusive right and option (‘Call Option‘) to acquire up to a 100% interest in certain exploration targets (‘Exploration Targets‘) at Amarillo Grande. To exercise this right, IMSA must incur certain funding obligations over the six-year term of the Call Option, pay the relevant option price pursuant to the formula set out in the Call Option, and grant to MCA a 2% royalty on all Exploration Targets acquired under the Call Option.

Geophysical Program Detail

The ET survey at Ivana Gap was conducted by Geofisica Argentina S.A. using a pole-dipole array with 15 m electrode spacing. The survey used an Iris ELREC PRO 10-channel receiver (time-domain) and a VIP-5000 transmitter.

The program consisted of a single 5 kilometre line covering the central portion of the prospect, subparallel to the majority of lines from previous surveys at Ivana Central (Section L1) and at the Ivana deposit (Section Ivana VIII) (see Figure 2). The results show a broad chargeability anomaly over 1400m in width that is interpreted as the REDOX front horizon signature. Additionally, smaller chargeability anomalies are observed toward the eastern (right-hand) portion of the pseudo-section. These appear either deeper in the profile or as isolated subsurface highs. The main anomaly lies along the projected northwest trend extending from the Ivana Deposit in the south, northwest towards Ivana Central, where reduced carbonaceous alteration has been confirmed in drillhole cuttings.

Many of the historical ET geophysical lines over the Ivana deposits were either not processed for chargeability or did not detect significant anomalies. However, a clear 600m wide chargeability anomaly was observed on line Ivana VIII that was completed on the northern flank of the Ivana deposit, as shown in Figure 2.

Stallion Uranium Corp. (the ‘ Company ‘ or ‘ Stallion ‘ ) (TSX-V: STUD ; OTCQB: STLNF ; FSE: FE0) pleased to announce that it will commence a high-resolution ground Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) survey on November 1, 2025, on its Coyote Target, part of the Moonlite Project in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada in partnership with Atha Energy Corp. (‘Atha Energy’) (TSX-V: SASK) .

This survey is designed to extend and refine the results of Stallion’s previous EM work, with the goal of precisely defining conductive structures commonly associated with uranium mineralization. The program will focus on the Coyote Corridor, home to Stallion’s top-priority drill targets identified through detailed analysis of historical datasets and newly acquired geophysical information. These targets were ranked using Stallion’s multi-parameter review, which applies an 11 step ranking criteria of components for discovery.

Matthew Schwab, CEO of Stallion Uranium, said, ‘Launching this ground EM survey at the Coyote Target is a critical step toward advancing our discovery efforts. By improving the resolution of our geophysical data, we expect not only to sharpen the definition of our highest-priority targets, but also to increase the number of drill-ready locations across the Coyote Corridor. Each additional high-confidence target strengthens our ability to deliver meaningful results in the upcoming drill campaign.’

The survey will be conducted by Abitibi Geophysics using the Stepwise Moving Loop (SWML) TDEM method, a proven technique for detecting conductive zones within basement rock. Data collected will be fully integrated with the airborne and ground surveys completed earlier in 2025, providing Stallion with an enhanced geophysical model to guide next-stage exploration.

Darren Slugoski, Vice President of Exploration, said, ‘This ground-based survey will significantly improve the resolution of our geophysical data, allowing us to more accurately model conductive features at depth. By integrating the results with our existing datasets, we will be able to fine-tune the positioning of drill collars and reduce the risk of missing mineralized structures. Increasing confidence in the geometry and location of these conductors is essential to maximizing the effectiveness of our upcoming drill program.’

Survey results are expected in late November 2025 and will directly guide final drill targeting. Stallion is preparing to mobilize for a winter drill program in December 2025, where the refined targets from the Coyote Corridor will be tested for potential uranium mineralization.

About the Stepwise Moving Loop (SWML) TDEM Survey:

The SWML TDEM survey utilizes Abitibi’s cutting-edge ARMIT-TDEM system, featuring a three-component, combined B-field and ∂B/∂t sensor developed by Dr. James Macnae of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). The ARMIT sensor delivers an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio, comparable to a SQUID sensor for B-field measurements and an induction coil for B/t detection. It is designed for robust performance across extreme temperatures (-40°C to +50°C) without the need for hazardous cryogenic liquids.

ARMIT is the only sensor capable of simultaneously measuring both B-field and B/t, ensuring a broad detection range for conductive structures. The system is paired with the state-of-the-art SMARTem24 receiver and powered by Abitibi’s TerraScope 600V transmitter, delivering currents exceeding 25 A into the transmitter loop, maximizing the survey’s depth penetration and resolution.

Marketing Update:

In parallel with advancing exploration, Stallion Uranium has engaged specialized marketing firms to expand its market presence and broaden shareholder awareness. These initiatives include targeted digital campaigns, media and content development, and investor outreach programs across North America and Europe. The objective is to ensure Stallion’s technical milestones; including the commencement of the Coyote Target ground EM survey and the planned January 2026 drill program; are effectively communicated to both existing shareholders and new audiences.

The Company announces that it engaged Danayi Capital Corp. (‘Danayi’) to provide investor relations and marketing services to the Company for a term of two (2) months commencing on September 29, 2025, in consideration of an upfront payment of USD $100,000 pursuant to an agreement dated September 29, 2025. Danayi does not currently own any interest, directly or indirectly, in the Company or its securities. The agreement with Danayi remains subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
