Tudor Gold Sues BC, Seabridge Over Tunnel Rights in Golden Triangle

No Comments

An ongoing land-use dispute in British Columbia’s mineral-rich Golden Triangle has escalated into a full-blown legal battle as Tudor Gold (TSXV:TUD,OTC Pink:TDRRF)takes the province and rival Seabridge Gold (TSX:SEA,NYSE:SA) to court over tunneling rights linked to one of Canada’s largest undeveloped mining projects.

Tudor filed a civil claim in the BC Supreme Court on September 22 and a separate petition for judicial review on October 3, alleging that the province acted improperly in granting Seabridge permission to tunnel through Tudor’s mineral claims for the construction of underground infrastructure tied to the massive Kerr–Sulphurets–Mitchell (KSM) project.

The KSM project, owned entirely by Seabridge, is described as one of the world’s largest undeveloped gold and copper deposits.

Tudor, meanwhile, operates the neighboring Treaty Creek property, where exploration since the early 2010s has identified major gold and copper resources at the Goldstorm deposit.

In its filings, Tudor is asking the court to declare that a conditional mineral reserve, which is imposed by the province to protect Seabridge’s tunneling rights, does not apply to its claims, or that British Columbia’s authorities exceeded their legal powers in granting the rights of occupation.

Failing that, Tudor is seeking compensation for expropriation or damages related to misrepresentation.

“We have a new team at Tudor Gold with a significant amount of experience exploring, developing, and mining in the Golden Triangle,” said Tudor president and CEO Joe Ovsenek.

“In assessing the various aspects of the Treaty Creek Project, we filed the claim as we believed it was necessary to preserve our rights impacted by a limitation period; however, we believe the best path forward is to resolve this dispute through negotiation,” Ovsenek added.

Tudor’s case also targets a September 2024 decision by the Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship (WLRS) granting Seabridge a renewed Licence of Occupation (LoO) for the tunnel corridor.

The 2024 LoO replaced an earlier 2014 licence and provided Seabridge the right to occupy a narrow stretch of Crown land that overlaps Tudor’s mineral claims.

In a July 2024 statement, former Tudor CEO and President, Ken Konkin, wrote: “It is the company’s position that any LoO which allows access for KSM Mining to construct the MTT tunnels through Tudor’s mineral claims is subject to the prior rights of Tudor to its mineral tenures. As a result, the company will continue to strongly oppose any LoO and MTT Tunnel route planned by KSM Mining that would impair Tudor’s newly discovered Goldstorm Deposit.’

The company insists that a Licence of Occupation cannot interfere with the rights of a mineral claim holder, and that the government has a duty to safeguard those rights.

Seabridge, however, maintains that the provincial authorizations are valid and were granted in line with established procedures.

“We have attempted to find terms to avoid a conflict like this with Tudor, but their demands have been unreasonable,” said Seabridge chair and CEO Rudi Fronk in a recent statement. “We are confident that the Province has acted within the law and that the various authorizations for the MTT are appropriate and reliable.”

Fronk added that the KSM project has been deemed in the public interest. Currently, it is already backed by environmental assessment approvals, a pre-feasibility study demonstrating economic viability, and multiple construction permits.

He also accused Tudor of pursuing multiple overlapping court actions in an effort to delay KSM’s progress.

“Tudor now has three concurrent, separate legal actions all directed at voiding authorizations for the MTT. In our view, if Tudor thinks it must bring three separate legal actions, it probably lacks confidence in the success of any one of them,” Fronk added.

For now, the 2024 Licence of Occupation remains in effect as the province and Seabridge prepare to defend it in court. The company said it will continue advancing development work on the KSM project for the benefit of its shareholders.

Gold Mining Stocks Poised for Windfall as Prices Top $4,000 Per Ounce

No Comments

USA News Group News Commentary

Issued on behalf of GoldHaven Resources Corp.

USA News Group News Commentary Gold smashed through $4,000 per ounce for the first time in history this week, surging over 50% year-to-date as the US government shutdown, ongoing Fed rate cuts, and global economic uncertainty drive unprecedented safe-haven demand [1] . While gold prices break records, gold mining companies are experiencing even more dramatic profit expansion because production costs remain relatively stable while metal prices soar, creating windfall margins that translate every additional dollar in gold prices into pure profit. This historic divergence between surging gold values and contained mining costs positions gold companies from explorers through producers, including GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Equinox Gold Corp. (NYSE-American: EQX) (TSX: EQX), IAMGOLD Corporation (NYSE: IAG) (TSX: IMG), Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT), and Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV: LG,OTC:LGCXF) (OTCQB: LGCXF).

Wall Street analysts are racing to raise targets, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting $4,900 by late 2026 [2] and Michael Langford projecting $4,300 within six months as central banks accelerate diversification into gold [3] . With rate cuts expected through year-end creating ideal conditions for gold’s continued ascent, mining companies with operational leverage to rising prices stand positioned to capture extraordinary value before the broader market fully prices in this structural shift in precious metals economics [4] .

GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) is a Canadian junior exploration company that recently commenced its first-ever diamond drilling program at the Copeçal Gold Project in Brazil’s Juruena Gold Province, a historically productive region that has yielded substantial gold discoveries since the late 1970s. The company is testing high-priority gold targets on a property that was previously explored by AngloGold Ashanti , one of the world’s largest gold mining companies.

The 3,681-hectare Copeçal project sits in Mato Grosso, Brazil , approximately 60 kilometers from Alta Floresta . AngloGold Ashanti invested approximately $1 million in systematic exploration work here between 2010 and 2016, identifying a 6-kilometer-long gold-in-soil anomaly before shifting focus to other global projects. GoldHaven is now testing whether this surface gold signature extends to depth and could indicate an economic gold deposit.

The first drill hole has already intersected approximately 30 meters of saprolite (deeply weathered rock) before entering strongly sheared and hydrothermally altered basement gneiss. The rock shows pervasive chlorite, sericite, and quartz alteration. These are classic indicators of hydrothermal fluid activity associated with gold deposits in similar geological settings.

‘The start of our maiden drill program marks a transformational milestone for GoldHaven Resources ,’ said Rob Birmingham , President and CEO. ‘This moment is the result of systematic exploration, including a 107-hole auger program and ongoing VLF surveys that refined our targets and mapped structural controls. Early geological observations from COP-25 -001 show strong deformation and alteration where saprolite meets basement rock, exactly what we hoped to see. While we await assay results, these features validate our targeting model and align with mineralized systems across the Juruena Gold Province.’

The 1,200-meter drilling program uses Ecodrill with NQ-size diamond core (47.6mm diameter) to drill 5-6 angled holes up to 150 meters deep. The program is testing two zones called East and West, both showing persistent gold-in-soil signatures extending across 3-kilometer strike lengths. Core samples are being processed at ALS Global laboratories, with sample preparation in Cuiabá and assays in Belo Horizonte . Assay results are expected in 4-6 weeks.

‘Copeçal has all the hallmarks of a compelling greenfields opportunity,’ said Jon Hill , former Exploration Manager for AngloGold Ashanti during the project’s initial discovery phase, and current Country Manager in Brazil for GoldHaven , in a previous announcement . ‘As part of the original team that identified the area, I’ve always believed this project warranted drill testing. It sits in an underexplored but highly fertile mineral belt, and thanks to AngloGold’s foundational work, we have robust geochemical and geophysical datasets to guide us.’

GoldHaven’s exploration work leading up to this drilling program included 107 auger drill penetrations and VLF-EM geophysical surveys that helped pinpoint the best drilling locations. The Copeçal asset benefits from year-round road access via highway MT-325 and sits just 60 kilometers from Alta Floresta , a regional hub serviced by daily commercial air connections. The project is positioned among a growing cluster of significant developments including G Mining’s multi-million-ounce Tocantinzinho deposit.

Parallel to Copeçal drilling, GoldHaven has advanced comprehensive summer field programs across its wholly-owned Magno and Three Guardsmen assets in northern British Columbia . The Magno Project footprint has been strategically extended by 5,159 hectares through targeted claim staking.

GoldHaven’s project portfolio includes claim packages totaling 123,900 hectares distributed across three Brazilian projects, supported by a comprehensive 43-101 Technical Report for Copeçal.

In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:

Equinox Gold Corp. (NYSE-American: EQX) (TSX: EQX) delivered record consolidated production of 236,470 ounces in Q3 2025, marking the strongest quarterly performance in company history. The Valentine Gold Mine in Newfoundland poured first gold ahead of schedule on September 14 , while the Greenstone Gold Mine in Ontario showed meaningful operational improvements with mining rates exceeding 185,000 tonnes per day and mill grades improving 13% quarter-over-quarter to 1.05 grams per tonne gold.

‘ Equinox Gold delivered a solid third quarter, producing a record consolidated 236,470 ounces of gold, reflecting the strength of our expanded portfolio following the merger completed in June,’ said Darren Hall , CEO of Equinox Gold . ‘Even after the divestment of our Nevada assets, we remain on track to deliver in the mid-range of our consolidated annual gold production guidance of 785,000 to 915,000 ounces.’

The company strengthened its balance sheet during the quarter by reducing debt by US$139 million and maintaining cash and equivalents of $359 million at September 30, 2025 . With Valentine ramping toward consistent nameplate capacity of 2.5 million tonnes per year by Q2 2026 and Greenstone positioned for a strong Q4, Equinox Gold anticipates finishing 2025 in the mid-range of consolidated guidance and carrying momentum into 2026.

IAMGOLD Corporation (NYSE: IAG) (TSX: IMG) announced assay results from its ongoing 2025 drilling programs at the Nelligan and Monster Lake projects in central Quebec , with 27 diamond drill holes totaling 11,583 metres at Nelligan and 16 holes totaling 10,137.5 metres at Monster Lake confirming extensions of mineralized zones. The combined exploration camp, located 60 kilometres southwest of Chibougamau with both projects accessible by road and just 15 kilometres apart, hosts nearly 9 million ounces of resources including Nelligan’s 3.1 million ounces Indicated and 5.2 million ounces Inferred resources alongside Monster Lake’s high-grade 84,200 ounces Indicated and 488,500 ounces Inferred resources.

‘I want to congratulate our exploration team as they continue to expand the mineralized envelope of Nelligan and intersect high-grade veins at Monster Lake,’ said Renaud Adams , CEO of IAMGOLD . ‘The Nelligan and Monster Lake camp has seen rapid growth from a relatively conservative drill program prior to this year, and these results confirm our decision to continue to increase our exploration activities within this camp. When you combine Nelligan with the high-grade satellite Monster Lake deposit, there are nearly 9 million ounces of resources in this mining camp already, positioning Nelligan among the largest gold projects in Canada with significant potential for further growth.’

Drilling at Nelligan successfully extended the deposit further down-plunge to the east below 600 to 700 metres vertical depth with the mineralized sequence remaining open along strike and at depth, while Monster Lake drilling confirmed typical high-grade veins persisting in the general down-plunge of the Megane Zone. The company plans to continue infill and step-out drilling to convert Inferred Resources into the Indicated category while testing deeper extensions and lateral expansions of both deposits.

Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT) achieved first gold pour at its Ahafo North Project in Ghana on September 19, 2025 , marking a critical milestone toward commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2025. The project, located at Afrisipakrom approximately 30 kilometres from the company’s Ahafo South operations, is expected to deliver between 275,000 and 325,000 ounces of gold annually over a 13-year mine life while creating approximately 560 permanent and 1,000 contracted roles.

‘The first gold pour at Ahafo North represents a major operational milestone that validates years of careful planning, engineering, and construction, and builds on the strength of our world-class portfolio,’ said Tom Palmer , CEO of Newmont . ‘As we progress toward commercial production, we remain focused on generating enduring value for our shareholders, workforce, host communities, and the government of Ghana .’

The achievement follows the completion of key development phases including ore stockpiling that began in late 2024 and commissioning of critical infrastructure such as processing circuits, mining support facilities, and a tailings storage facility. Following the divestment of the Akyem mine in April 2025 , Ahafo North will become the company’s second operational site in the country and represents Newmont’s third mining investment in Ghana .

Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV: LG,OTC:LGCXF) (OTCQB: LGCXF) announced that its Exploration Plan of Operations has begun National Environmental Policy Act review by the Federal Bureau of Land Management for the Santa Fe Mine project in Nevada . The POO will allow for staged exploration drilling of over 700 holes within the Santa Fe Mine Project area, which hosts a National Instrument 43-101 compliant Indicated Mineral Resource of 1,539,000 ounces gold equivalent and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 411,000 ounces gold equivalent, with the company signing a Contributed Funds Agreement to provide funding to the BLM in support of the NEPA process.

‘ Lahontan is excited to have its Exploration POO enter the NEPA review process,’ said Kimberly Ann , CEO of Lahontan Gold . ‘When NEPA is completed, the POO will allow for staged exploration drilling of over 700 holes within the Santa Fe Mine Project area, greatly enhancing the potential to expand the project’s gold and silver resources and enhance expanded mining opportunities. The Contributed Funds Agreement allows the BLM to utilize additional personnel to complete the NEPA analysis and provide funding in case of a Federal government shutdown.’

Predictive Discovery and Robex Merge, Combining West African Gold Projects

No Comments

Australia-based Predictive Discovery (ASX:PDI) and Canadian company Robex Resources (ASX:RXR,TSXV:RBX,OTC Pink:RSRBF) have agreed on a merger of equals, creating West Africa’s new mid-tier gold producer.

In a joint announcement, the companies said that Predictive Discovery will indirectly acquire all of Robex Resources’ shares.

“(We expect) to issue an aggregate of approximately 2,115 million PDI shares to Robex shareholders, based on the Robex shares outstanding as at the date of this announcement,” Predictive Discovery said.

Under the AU$2.35 billion deal, Robex shareholders will receive 8.667 PDI shares for each Robex share.

Approximately 51 percent of the combined company will be held by PDI shareholders upon completion of the transaction, with the remaining 49 percent going to Robex shareholders.

Moreover, the combined company will remain listed on the ASX and an application to list PDI’s ordinary shares on the TSX Venture Exchange will be made.

Both companies highlighted that their West African gold assets, namely PDI’s Bankan project and Robex’s Kiniero project, are situated within a 30-kilometer radius.

Crypto Market Update: Bitcoin Takes Back Losses, Analysts Predict Price Rally Will Continue

No Comments

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Wednesday (October 8) as of 9:00 p.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ether price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$123,495, up by 1.5 percent in 24 hours. The cryptocurrency’s lowest valuation of the day was US$121,829, and its highest was US$124,072.

Despite retreating to around US$121,000 on Tuesday (October 7), Bitcoin on-chain data and a rising relative strength index still indicate strong momentum and accumulation, with resistance near US$135,000 and support around US$113,300. Analysts believe the crypto market is transitioning from a speculative phase to a “maturity phase,” where institutional strategies and asset allocation will drive price discovery rather than retail hype.

A new report from CF Benchmarks forecasts that Bitcoin could climb another 20 percent to reach US$148,500 by the end of 2025, while the number of crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is expected to double to 80.

The report also projects that stablecoins could hit US$500 billion in circulation.

Various macro factors are shaping this bullish narrative for the sector. Market uncertainty tied to US President Donald Trump’s economic and fiscal policies, his ongoing tension with the Federal Reserve and uncertainty surrounding the ongoing government shutdown have spurred what analysts describe as a “debasement trade.” Investors seeking protection from currency risk are turning to traditional hedges like gold, and increasingly to Bitcoin.

The Fed’s recent interest rate cut has provided additional support for risk assets. CF Benchmarks expects two more reductions by the end of the year, bringing rates closer to the 3.25 percent level.

Despite inflation concerns, analysts argue that Bitcoin remains undervalued, sitting at the lower end of its estimated fair-value range between US$85,000 and US$212,000. According to trader Ted Pillows, if Bitcoin manages to hold the US$120,000 area, it could mark the beginning of a reversal phase and signal renewed bullish momentum.

By Wednesday afternoon, Bitcoin had steadied near US$123,400, recovering some losses, with ETF inflows continuing to boost institutional confidence. The total market cap of cryptocurrencies currently stands at around US$4.3 trillion, per CoinGecko, while the circulating value of stablecoins has already surpassed $300 billion.

Ether (ETH) also slid after last week’s rally, but has since recovered some of its losses. It was up by 0.7 percent over 24 hours to US$4,518.05. Ether’s lowest valuation on Wednesday was US$4,441.20, and its highest was US$4,544.36.

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$229.20, an increase of 1.6 percent over the last 24 hours and its highest valuation of the day. Its lowest valuation on Wednesday was US$220.04.
  • XRP was trading for US$2.91, up by 3.2 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$2.86, and its highest was US$2.92.

Crypto derivatives and market indicators

Total Bitcoin futures open interest was at US$98.85 billion, an increase of roughly 0.84 percent in the last four hours.

Ether open interest stood at US$60.24 billion, down by 0.07 percent in four hours.

Bitcoin liquidations were at US$34.01 million over four hours, primarily forcing long positions to close, which could lead to selling pressure. Ether liquidations totaled US$25.18 million, with the majority being short positions.

Fear and Greed Index snapshot

CMC’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index climbed into high neutral territory after dipping to fear during the last week of September. The index currently stands around 55, inching closer to greed.

Today’s crypto news to know

JPMorgan says stablecoins could add US$1.4 trillion in dollar demand by 2027

A new JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) research note estimates that global stablecoin adoption could generate up to US$1.4 trillion in additional demand for US dollars within the next two years, according to Reuters.

The bank’s analysts argue that as foreign investors and corporations increasingly hold dollar-pegged stablecoins, they will effectively strengthen the greenback’s global position. The report projects that the stablecoin market could reach US$2 trillion in a high-end scenario, up from roughly US$260 billion today.

With 99 percent of stablecoins pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, JPMorgan says expansion will translate directly into higher dollar-denominated reserves. The findings counter fears that digital currencies could accelerate “de-dollarization” by offering alternatives to the US financial system.

ICE to invest US$2 billion in Polymarket

Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, is making a major bet on crypto-powered prediction markets. The company announced plans to invest up to US$2 billion in Polymarket, valuing the blockchain-based betting platform at about US$8 billion, a sharp rise from its US$1 billion valuation just two months ago.

Polymarket has gained prominence for its political, sports and entertainment wagers, including high-profile bets on the US presidential race. The deal will allow ICE to distribute Polymarket’s market data globally, signaling a push to integrate event-based contracts into mainstream finance. Founder Shayne Coplan said in a press release that the investment “marks a major step in bringing prediction markets into the financial mainstream.”

The firm is also working to re-enter the US market after acquiring a small derivatives exchange earlier this year.

BNY Mellon to explore tokenized deposits

BNY Mellon, the world’s largest custodian bank, is reportedly exploring tokenized deposits to enable instant, 24/7 fund transfers for clients, aiming to overcome limitations in legacy systems. Carl Slabicki, executive platform owner for Treasury Services, stated that this initiative is part of an effort to upgrade real-time and cross-border payments. The goal is to move a portion of BNY’s US$2.5 trillion daily payment flow onto the blockchain.

Slabicki highlighted that tokenized deposits help banks overcome technology constraints, facilitating the movement of deposits and payments within their own ecosystems and eventually across the broader market.

S&P Global to launch new crypto ecosystem index

The S&P Global, in partnership with Dinari, is creating a new investment index that will bring together both cryptocurrencies and publicly traded blockchain-related companies into a single benchmark called the S&P Digital Markets 50 Index. The index will include 15 cryptocurrencies and 35 public companies in the sector.

No single component will exceed 5 percent. Major companies like Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR), Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN) and Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:RIOT) are expected to be included.

Dinari plans to issue a tokenized version of the index, known as a “dShare,” which would allow investors to gain direct exposure. The investable version is expected to launch by the end of 2025.

Saskatchewan Implements New 3 Percent Lithium Royalty, Provides Clarity to Companies

No Comments

Saskatchewan has introduced a new royalty framework for lithium production, marking a major step toward supporting the province’s growing role in Canada’s critical minerals sector.

The amendments to 2017 subsurface mineral royalty regulations formally establish a 3 percent Crown royalty on the value of brine mineral sales, coupled with a two year holiday for new productive capacity.

Provincial officials said the change aligns Saskatchewan’s royalties for lithium with those already applied to potash, salt and sodium sulfate, and keeps the province competitive with leading jurisdictions worldwide.

“Lithium is a critical mineral that is expected to see strong demand and growth in the decades ahead, and Saskatchewan is well-positioned to take advantage of this opportunity,” Energy and Resources Minister Colleen Young said.

“By putting this royalty framework in place now, we are providing certainty for industry, while ensuring the people of Saskatchewan benefit as this sector develops,” Young added.

Industry participants have welcomed the move, calling it a clear signal that the province intends to be a serious player in the global lithium supply chain. Canada-based explorer EMP Metals (CSE:EMPS,OTCQB:EMPPF) described the royalty rate as internationally competitive and a meaningful boost for project economics.

“This is very welcome news. The government of the province of Saskatchewan has once again proven itself to be supportive of lithium production in the province,” EMP Metals CEO Karl Kottmeier said. “This is a highly competitive royalty rate internationally, and a two-year royalty holiday on new production immediately makes a positive impact on financial modelling of what is already a compelling business case for our Project Aurora lithium production project.”

Grounded Lithium (TSXV:GRD) President and CEO Gregg Smith noted that the policy encourages further investment, while recognizing the high upfront costs of developing processing capacity.

“This new regulatory framework provides a reasonable royalty rate while also recognizing the significant risk and initial investment companies make in processing facilities to ultimately achieve commercial production,” he said.

Saskatchewan has emerged as one of Canada’s top destinations for mining investment. The Fraser Institute’s annual mining company survey ranked it the country’s leading jurisdiction, with the province projected to attract over US$7 billion in mining investment this year — more than a quarter of Canada’s total.

The lithium framework also aligns with the province’s broader Critical Minerals Strategy, launched in 2023 to position Saskatchewan as a key contributor to Canada’s resource independence and energy transition.

The plan targets a 15 percent share of national mineral exploration by 2030, the doubling of critical mineral production, and the expansion of existing potash, uranium, and helium output.
