Barrick Mining (TSX:ABX,NYSE:B) has taken a major step toward ending its months-long standoff with Mali, confirming a deal that will restore its control over one of Africa’s most productive gold operations.

After reports that the two sides had reached an agreement in principle circulated last week, Barrick confirmed on Monday (November 24), it will withdraw its arbitration claim at the World Bank’s dispute-resolution center.

Mali’s government has committed to dropping all charges, releasing detained employees and returning full operational authority for the Loulo-Gounkoto complex.

Tensions spiked in January when Mali’s military government halted gold exports, detained senior Barrick personnel and seized several tonnes of gold from the site.

A local court later appointed former health minister Soumana Makadji to run the operation under state oversight, effectively pushing Barrick out of a mine it has long managed through a joint venture.

The agreement marks a significant reversal of that intervention and paves the way for Loulo-Gounkoto to return to normal operations.

Production only resumed in late October after a separate deal to restart payments to local contractors, though at that time Barrick did not comment publicly on the arrangement.

Monday’s settlement with the government now sets the stage for a full restoration of the joint venture.

The breakthrough also comes as the company faces intensifying pressure on multiple fronts, as activist investor Elliott Investment Management has recently acquired a major stake worth at least US$700 million in the company.

Elliott is known for forcing corporate overhauls in the mining sector, and its arrival has sharpened scrutiny of Barrick’s performance after a year marked by falling production and rising costs.

The company has lagged peers despite record-high gold prices, with analysts citing the setbacks in Mali, ongoing concerns around the massive Reko Diq project in Pakistan, and turbulence in the executive ranks.

That turbulence erupted publicly in September with the abrupt exit of longtime chief executive Mark Bristow, whose relationship with Barrick chair John Thornton had reportedly deteriorated after years of missed guidance and strategic disagreements.

Sources told the Financial Times the two had barely been speaking by the time headhunters were commissioned to evaluate successors.

Interim chief executive Mark Hill has been trying to stabilize the company with a sweeping reorganization. In an internal memo reviewed by Bloomberg, he said Barrick would fold the Pueblo Viejo mine into its North American division and merge its Latin America and Asia Pacific operations.

He also announced leadership changes to sharpen the focus on Barrick’s Nevada mines, one of the company’s most valuable assets but also the site of serious safety lapses this year.

The restructuring has revived speculation about whether Barrick could eventually split its portfolio into separate companies or become a takeover target.

Currently, the company trades at a lower valuation multiple than rivals, making its assets particularly attractive if separated into a North America-focused unit and other housing operations in Africa, Latin America and the Asia Pacific region.

Harmony Gold Mining (NYSE:HMY,JSE:HAR) announced that it has approved development of its Eva Copper project in Queensland after completing an updated feasibility study, with an estimated capital of US$1.75 billion across a three-year window.

The South African miner said Monday (November24) that its board signed off on the Final Investment Decision for the Eva copper project, a 100-percent-owned project in northwest Queensland expected to deliver high margins and a long operating life.

Harmony plans to build a low strip-ratio open-pit mine capable of producing about 65,000 metric tons of copper concentrate annually during its first five years, with an average life-of-mine profile of roughly 60,000 metric tons of copper and 19,000 ounces of gold per year over an estimated 15-year span.

The mine will process about 18 million metric tons of ore per year and carry an all-in sustaining cost of approximately US$2.50 per pound.

CEO Beyers Nel said the feasibility results confirm the company’s shift toward a balanced gold-and-copper portfolio.

“The Eva Copper Feasibility Study delivers a strong, high-confidence outcome that positions Harmony for the next phase of growth as we continue building a high-quality, low-cost portfolio,” he said.

Nel also tied Eva Copper to Harmony’s expanding strategy, pointing to the company’s recently completed MAC Copper acquisition.

“Eva Copper, together with our recent MAC Copper acquisition, creates a compelling platform that brings together the enduring value of gold with the future-facing strength of copper, enhancing cash flow resilience across commodity cycles,” he said.

Last month, Harmony completed its US$1.01 billion acquisition of MAC Copper, giving the company full ownership of the high-grade CSA copper mine in New South Wales.

The company said the purchase builds on its strategic push to strengthen its copper position in Tier-1 jurisdictions. It also expects its two major Australian copper assets to deliver a combined 100,000 metric tons of copper annually once fully commissioned.

Meanwhile, the Eva Copper project was acquired by the company in October 2022 and has since completed 166,000 metres of drilling. The current two-million-metric-ton copper resource underpins the potential for future extensions to the mine’s life.

Harmony anticipates first production in the second half of 2028, a timeline it says aligns with a structural deficit in copper supply that could support stronger prices.

Board approval moves the project into the execution phase. Mobilization to site is expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, subject to amendments to the project’s Environmental Authority.

Glenstar Minerals Inc. (CSE: GSTR) (OTCQB: GSTRF) (FSE: VO20) (‘Glenstar’ or the ‘Company’) announces that it has granted a permit by the Bureau of Land Management (the ‘BLM’) to conduct the Phase 2 drill program at its Green Monster Project in southwestern Nevada.

The permit allows the Company to drill nine (9) holes over four (4) locations on the property and will be comprised of approximately 300 metres of strike length exploration. As currently planned, Glenstar will collar two (2) holes in the area of the primary drilling undertaken in the Phase 1 drill program; three (3) holes will focus on the area that is considered the ‘discovery’ zone 150 metres to the west of the primary Phase 1 drill site, and two (2) holes each at two (2) sites will be situated further west along what is believed to be the mineralized east-west trending belt.

The precise location of each drill hole is yet to be determined and will be decided upon review of the data gleaned from the previously announced Hybrid-Source Audio-Magnetotellurics Survey (the ‘HSAMT‘ or ‘Survey‘) that was conducted by Hasbrouck Geophysics, Inc. (‘Hasbrouck‘) of Prescott, Arizona and Advantage Geophysics, Inc. (‘Advantage‘) of Phoenix Arizona. This survey has now concluded and the results, along with the various data sets, will be contained in a final report that will be provided to the Company by Hasbrouck. This report is expected to be completed in early December and the results will be instrumental in determining the best, and most advantageous, location for each hole of the Phase 2 drill program.

The survey data was acquired at intervals of 50 metres along 13 lines and was conducted by a 3-person field team from Advantage, in conjunction with Hasbrouck. The data collected is currently being analysed and interpreted using sophisticated software that will convert it into two- and three-dimensional cross-sections in depth and/or elevation formats. The complete data set will be interpolated into a rectangular cube and horizonal depth slices, referenced to the surface. The final report will detail the methodology, data acquisition, processing, modeling, and interpretation of the data (see news release dated October 29, 2025) and will provide Glenstar’s geologic team with the information it needs to best determine the location of each drill hole in the Phase 2 program.

Glenstar CEO, Dave Ryan, stated, ‘The completion of the geophysical field work is an important milestone. Once we have the final report from Hasbrouck we will use this data to target sulfide facies mineralization in the area of the oxide mineralization that was intersected last summer.’

Project Background & Recent Exploration Work

The Green Monster Property is comprised of 35 federal lode claims covering ~700 acres located in Clark County, Nevada, on the west trending spur of the Spring Mountains and is approximately 40 miles southwest of Las Vegas. Until the recent drill program in May of 2025, no drilling was ever conducted on the property, but the Company’s previous identification of robust nickel-copper with anomalous cobalt from sampling work done in 2022 indicated that several targets were ideal for shallow RC drilling (see news releases dated May 28, 2025, and July 16, 2025).

Glenstar acquired the Green Monster Property and conducted initial groundwork in 2022 that included reconnaissance geologic mapping, surface rock sampling, soil sampling, and a drone magnetic survey. Channel sampling across the exposed back of a raise off the main shaft returned 1.18 meters of 3.77% Cu (Copper), 3.06% Ni (Nickel), 0.21% Co (Cobalt) and 6.83% Zn (Zinc). These values are well in excess of select dump samples from historical underground workings and represent in-place, vein style mineralization. Sampling of oxide and sulfide bearing boulders directly downhill of the patented workings has confirmed the presence of very high zinc (>10%) and silver (>200ppm), as well as copper, uranium, and lead. (Sampling results provided above were previously published in the Green Monster Project NI 43-101 Technical Report dated June 20, 2023, Section 7.5).

About the Baptiste Nickel Project

The Company’s Baptiste Nickel Project represents a large-scale greenfield discovery of nickel mineralization in the form of a sulphur-free, nickel-iron mineral called awaruite (Ni3Fe) hosted in an ultramafic/ophiolite complex.  The absence of sulphur and our ability to connect to the BC Hydro grid means that Baptiste has the potential to be one of the lowest carbon-intensive nickel producers in the world and will produce a very high-grade product that does not require any intermediate smelting or complex refining.  The Baptiste mineral claims cover an area of 453 km2 west of Middle River and north of Trembleur Lake, in central British Columbia.  In addition to the Baptiste Deposit itself, awaruite mineralization has been confirmed through drilling at several target areas within the same claims package, most notably at the Van Target which is located 6 km to the north of the Baptiste Deposit.  Since 2010, approximately US$55 million has been spent on the exploration and development of Baptiste.

FPX has conducted mineral exploration activities to date subject to the conditions of agreements with First Nations and keyoh holders. In 2024, the Province of British Columbia identified the Baptiste Nickel Project as the first project to be included in the Province’s new Critical Minerals Office (‘CMO’) concierge service initiative, a provincial strategy action to enable the prioritization of critical minerals projects in B.C. The CMO initiative is providing an excellent structure to proactively identify and address issues and opportunities ahead of the Project’s entry into the environmental assessment process.

About FPX Nickel Corp.

FPX Nickel Corp. is focused on the exploration and development of the Baptiste Nickel Project, located in central British Columbia, and other occurrences of the same unique style of naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy mineralization known as awaruite.  For more information, please view the Company’s website at https://fpxnickel.com/.

Today’s crypto news to know

Wall Street firms scale back MicroStrategy exposure

Fresh filings show major US asset managers cut their exposure to Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) (formerly MicroStrategy) through the third quarter, reducing positions by more than US$5 billion as the stock’s premium to its Bitcoin holdings continued to compress.

The company’s mNAV multiple has fallen close to parity as the market reassesses how much extra value investors are willing to assign to a Bitcoin-heavy corporate balance sheet. Pressure intensified after JPMorgan warned clients that MSCI is weighing whether companies with more than half of their assets in crypto should remain eligible for major equity indexes.

Index exclusion would not affect operations, Strategy chairman Michael Saylor said, but it has accelerated debate about the long-term viability of the digital-asset-treasury model.

Filings indicate that investment firms like BlackRock, Vanguard, and Capital International all pared their holdings, even as Bitcoin remained relatively stable earlier in the quarter.

Analysts say institutional investors could continue reducing exposure to corporate BTC proxies if volatility persists, as Bitcoin now faces one of its sharpest drawdowns since 2022.

JPMorgan hit by backlash After new debanking allegations

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) is facing an uproar from Bitcoin advocates after Strike CEO Jack Mallers disclosed that the bank abruptly closed his personal accounts in September without explanation.

According to a report by the The Street, the news came just days after a JPMorgan research note highlighted MSCI’s proposal to exclude companies holding more than 50 percent. of their assets in crypto from its flagship indexes.

The move was widely interpreted as targeting Bitcoin-treasury firms such as Strategy. Crypto advocates quickly labeled the developments a revival of “Operation Chokepoint 2.0,” arguing that major banks and regulators are again restricting access to financial services for digital-asset firms and their executives.

The controversy has prompted calls across Bitcoin forums and social media for a coordinated boycott of JPMorgan, echoing earlier grievances about sudden account closures dating back to 2017.

Michael Burry debuts newsletter after Scion shutdown

Michael Burry, best known for his prescient bet against the US housing market in 2008, has launched a paid Substack newsletter soon after closing his hedge fund, Scion Asset Management.

In his introductory post, Burry emphasized that the move does not mark retirement but rather a shift toward writing without the regulatory constraints that accompany professional money management.

Priced at US$39 per month, the newsletter quickly drew more than 21,000 subscribers. Early essays revisit his trading history during the dot-com era and outline why he views today’s AI-driven boom as a supply-glutted bubble primed for correction.

With Scion now closed, Burry says the newsletter will become his primary outlet for analysis as he continues to track what he views as speculative excess building across technology markets.

Pinnacle Silver and Gold Corp.

LiDAR, or Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to ‘see through’ vegetation and soil cover to measure distances, with 15-30 cm scale accuracy, to underlying rock surfaces.  In this way, it can map out features such as structures and lithological contacts that can be related to mineralization but may not be exposed at surface.  The survey also included colour aerial photography with 10-15 cm resolution that will assist in surface exploration and planning of infrastructure upgrades.

‘Although we have been able to follow and map out the Dos de Mayo vein system along strike for approximately 1,600 metres so far, our geologists are restricted by the amount of outcrop exposure ,’ stated Robert Archer, Pinnacle’s President & CEO.  ‘The LiDAR survey should allow us to ‘connect the dots’ along this structural trend and allow us to better define not only the main vein but parallel and splay veins nearby.  This knowledge, along with additional features such as flexures and fault offsets in the vein structures, will be crucial for interpreting the geological environment and planning the surface drill program.  In addition, LiDAR is known for its ability to detect subtle and sometimes buried features such as old mine workings, overgrown pits and trenches that could lead to the discovery of previously unknown mineralization.’

Qualified Person

Mr. Jorge Ortega, P. Geo, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and the author of the NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Potrero Project, has reviewed, verified and approved for disclosure the technical information contained in this news release.

About the Potrero Property

El Potrero is located in the prolific Sierra Madre Occidental of western Mexico and lies within 35 kilometres of four operating mines, including the 4,000 tonnes per day (tpd) Ciénega Mine (Fresnillo), the 1,000 tpd Tahuehueto Mine (Luca Mining) and the 250 tpd Topia Mine (Guanajuato Silver).

High-grade gold-silver mineralization occurs in a low sulphidation epithermal breccia vein system hosted within andesites of the Lower Volcanic Series and has three historic mines along a 500 metre strike length.  The property has been in private hands for almost 40 years and has never been systematically explored by modern methods, leaving significant exploration potential.

A previously operational 100 tpd plant on site can be refurbished / rebuilt and historic underground mine workings rehabilitated at relatively low cost in order to achieve near-term production once permits are in place. The property is road accessible with a power line within three kilometres.

Pinnacle will earn an initial 50% interest immediately upon commencing production.  The goal would then be to generate sufficient cash flow with which to further develop the project and increase the Company’s ownership to 100% subject to a 2% NSR.  If successful, this approach would be less dilutive for shareholders than relying on the equity markets to finance the growth of the Company.

About Pinnacle Silver and Gold Corp.

Pinnacle is focused on the development of precious metals projects in the Americas.  The high-grade Potrero gold-silver project in Mexico’s Sierra Madre Belt hosts an underexplored low-sulphidation epithermal vein system and provides the potential for near-term production . In the prolific Red Lake District of northwestern Ontario, the Company owns a 100% interest in the past-producing, high-grade Argosy Gold Mine and the adjacent North Birch Project with an eight-kilometre-long target horizon . With a seasoned, highly successful management team and quality projects, Pinnacle Silver and Gold is committed to building long -term , sustainable value for shareholders.

This complements the Company’s highly successful efforts in Canada, where a maiden resource for the Mirage project is expected in early Q1 2026 and in Greenland, where an inaugural drill program is planned for 2026.

Mr. Killian Charles, President and CEO of BRW, commented: ‘Following the completion of our grassroots campaign in Greenland, we have continuously sought to utilize and leverage our unique lithium exploration expertise and Saudi Arabia is an under-explored jurisdiction for lithium with exceptional potential.’

‘Importantly, prospecting in Saudi Arabia is preferentially executed during the seasonally colder months in Canada and Greenland, allowing BRW to generate prospecting results twelve months of the year. The team is currently planning a prospecting campaign which will commence in H1 2026. This program, in addition to our forthcoming MRE at Mirage, our new discovery neighboring Rio Tinto’s Galaxy project and our future work in Greenland, promises an exciting start to the year for Brunswick Exploration.’

Exploration License

The Exploration License has been awarded pending final government approval, while the Company completes the administrative requirements to conduct exploration in the country. The license area is located roughly 150 km from the city of Buraydah and roughly 450 km east from Riyadh, the capital city of Saudi Arabia. The claim area is easily accessible by major highways and has smaller roads throughout the property. The license was selected based on preferred geology, geochemistry, and interpreted satellite imagery for a total license area of 8,467 ha.

Saudi Arabia Fundamentals

Saudi Arabia has a long mining history with well-established mining laws and strong government funding. With a supportive and pro-mining government, favorable geology, great outcrop exposure, and exceptional road access in a region of little to no historic hard rock lithium exploration, this presents a fantastic opportunity for BRW.

Saudi Arabia is actively establishing itself as a major lithium processing hub to support Middle Eastern demand. This foresight is part of the KSA’s larger program known as Saudi Vision 2030, which includes developing its resources outside of the oil and gas industry. Overall, KSA is a well-established mining jurisdiction with prominent major and junior mining companies such as Barrick, Ivanhoe Electric, Tinka Resources, and Power Metallic actively exploring there.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • 83.2m grading 17.35 g/t gold from 76.0 m, including
    • 46.65 m grading 27.35 g/t gold from 88.95 m
  • 70.7m grading 9.38 g/t gold from 49.65 m
  • 92.1 m grading 4.33 g/t gold from 97.1 m
  • 65.2 m grading 5.39 g/t gold from 152.2 m
  • Ana Paula drill program to be extended to 20,000 metres of drilling

Heliostar Metals Ltd. (TSXV: HSTR,OTC:HSTXF) (OTCQX: HSTXF) (FSE: RGG1) (‘Heliostar’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce additional results from the current drill program at its 100% owned Ana Paula project in Guerrero, Mexico. The program aims to convert inferred ounces to higher confidence classifications. It will also support the ongoing Feasibility Study and testing the next exploration targets around the Ana Paula deposit.

Heliostar CEO, Charles Funk, commented, ‘It’s rare to find a deposit that consistently produces 50-100m wide drill intercepts of these gold grades. Ana Paula is wide, high-grade, and shallow, with good underground mining conditions. These factors drive the low $1,011 all in sustaining cost in our new PEA for the project. It will also drive high margins at the project. The current program is focused on upgrading inferred ounces to higher confidence categories and the new data will be incorporated into a Feasibility Study. The lower costs drive a lower cut-off grade in the planned mine that opens the potential for more inferred material conversion. To maximize this opportunity, we will expand the program by 33% to 20,000 metres to allow for more infill and exploration drilling at Ana Paula. Across the Company, we have another study, a Prefeasibility Study for Cerro del Gallo, planned this quarter. We are also drilling at San Agustin and La Colorada. These programs should increase production and unlock the value we see in our deep growth portfolio.’

Drilling Program

Heliostar has completed 44 holes and 12,615 metres drilled to date. Drilling is designed along north-south sections with angled holes to better define the overall east-west orientation of the High Grade Panel. Heliostar’s drilling approach at Ana Paula has been to change the direction of drilling by approximately 90 degrees from the majority of historic intercepts. The Company believes that this change contributed to demonstrating more continuous and higher-grade gold mineralization within the High Grade Panel than recognized by previous operators.

Where appropriate, the holes are also being used to collect rock strength data, hydrogeologic data and samples for further metallurgical studies that will directly influence the Ana Paula mine design in the ongoing Feasibility Study.

Drill Results Summary

Holes AP-25-331, AP-25-333, AP-25-334 and AP-25-336 are resource conversion holes drilled in the central part of the High Grade Panel. Holes AP-25-334 and AP-25-336 were drilled on the same fence, with AP-25-334 targeting the polymictic breccia and hanging wall mineralization, and AP-25-336 targeting the polymictic breccia and footwall mineralization. Hole AP-25-334 intercepted a wide zone of 92.05 metres (‘m’) grading 4.33 grams per tonne (‘g/t’) gold, whilst AP-25-336 returned intervals of 3.2 m at 15.58 g/t gold, 65.15 m at 5.39 g/t and 43.55 m at 4.66 g/t gold with a 3.05 m interval with 24.64 g/t gold.

Hole AP-25-333 is located 60 m to the east of the above-mentioned fence and returned two high-grade intervals of 26.6 m grading 4.78 g/t gold and 83.2 m grading 17.35 g/t gold. Hole AP-25-331 is a step out 32 m to the southeast and returned a 7.95 m zone grading 7.92 g/t gold and a wide high-grade interval of 70.65 m at 9.38 g/t gold.

Holes AP-25-330, AP-25-332 and AP-25-335A are geotechnical holes for mine development planning and returned assay results in line with expectations, including intervals of 48.5 m of 5.48 g/t gold, 5.2 m of 4.23 g/t gold and 35.55 m of 6.73 g/t gold, respectively.

True widths are unknown. Mineralization at Ana Paula occurs as disseminations or vein stockworks with variable controls including rock porosity, lithology and fault networks.

Drilling continues throughout the High Grade Panel and its less well-defined east and west edges, with assays pending from twelve holes. Two of the drills have begun to target deeper inferred mineralization and the northern exploration zone, which is approximately 250 m north of the High Grade Panel that has two drill holes pending assay.

The next Ana Paula drill results are anticipated to be released in December.
