A Brazilian state-run mining company is seeking an emergency court injunction to block the sale of one of Equinox Gold’s (TSX:EQX,NYSEAMERICAN:EQX) Brazilian assets.

Companhia Baiana de Produção Mineral (CBPM) has asked the Bahia State Court of Justice to immediately repossess a lease area known as the Bahia Complex, according to a court document as reported by Bloomberg.

CBPM argues that Equinox was a leaseholder and not the owner of the concession, and therefore was not entitled to sell it without the state company’s express consent.

“The Canadian company sold a mining right that does not belong to it,” CBPM president Henrique Carballal told the news outlet.

The injunction request relates specifically to the Bahia Complex and does not cover other Brazilian assets included in the transaction. Equinox announced in December last year that it had agreed to sell its Brazilian operations to Contemporary Amperex Technology (SZSE:300750,HKEX:3750) in a US$1 billion deal expected to close in the current quarter.

Equinox said it has not received notice of any lawsuit. Executive vice president of capital markets Ryan King said the company “is confident that the sale of its operations in Brazil was fully compliant with Brazilian law and all contractual obligations,” In an emailed response to Bloomberg.

“While Equinox Gold is prepared to defend its position in court if required, the company remains open to engaging in constructive discussions with the State to seek a mutually agreeable resolution,” King added.

The legal challenge comes as Equinox closes what it described as a “transformational” 2025.

The company reported in its preliminary full-year gold production of 922,827 ounces, including 856,908 ounces that met its annual guidance range of 785,000 to 915,000 ounces, plus 65,918 ounces from its Valentine, Los Filos, and Castle Mountain sites. In Q4 alone, Equinox produced a record 247,024 ounces of gold.

“2025 marked an important year of progress for Equinox Gold,” Hall said. “The merger with Calibre created a tier one North American focused gold producer anchored by two new long-life Canadian mines.”

Hall acknowledged earlier operational challenges at Greenstone but said improvements were evident in the fourth quarter, when the mine produced more than 70,000 ounces, up 29 percent from the prior quarter.

Equinox also reduced its debt by more than US$1.1 billion since the second quarter of 2025. The company expects to produce between 700,000 and 800,000 ounces in 2026 and generate sufficient cash flow to eliminate its remaining debt this year.

This news release contains ‘forward-looking statements’ and ‘forward-looking information’ (together, ‘forward-looking statements’) within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws.

These forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company as of the date of this release, are inherently subject to significant business, technical, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Key assumptions include but are not limited to: statements with respect to the acquisition of Nuevo Silver; no material adverse changes to general business, economic, market and political conditions; and commodity price and foreign exchange assumptions.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied.

Pinnacle Silver and Gold Corp.

‘Robert Archer, President and CEO of Pinnacle stated, ‘We are very appreciative of the opportunity to spread out the payments as this will allow us to better budget our direct project costs and place more emphasis on advancing the project.  With our recently completed financing, we are continuing our fast-track approach to production at El Potrero with the upcoming underground drilling program.’

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.

Signed: ‘Robert A. Archer’

GLOBEX MINING ENTERPRISES INC. (GMX Toronto Stock Exchange, G1MN Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Berlin, Munich, Tradegate, Lang & Schwarz, LS Exchange, TTMzero, Düsseldorf and Quotrix Düsseldorf Stock Exchanges and GLBXF OTCQX International in the US) is pleased to update shareholders on exploration drilling by Cartier Resources Inc. (ECR-TSXV, 6CA-FSE) on Globex’s Nordeau Royalty claims (Exhibit 1) in Vauquelin Township (32C03), 45 km southeast of Val d’Or, Quebec. Globex holds a 3% Gross Metal Royalty on the Nordeau claims including the area where Cartier has identified a new gold zone called the East Nordeau Zone on Cartier’s Cadillac Property. Late last year Cartier embarked on an aggressive 600 drill hole, 100,000 metre drill program on its Cadillac property.

Cartier has announced additional drill intersections on the East Nordeau gold zone (ENZ) intersecting significant high-grade gold mineralization near surface. The ENZ is comprised of two parallel high-grade gold zones, EN1 and EN2 separated by approximately 25 metres. The mineralization was confirmed over a 400-metre strike length and remains open to depth. According to Cartier the new mineralization environment with iron formations may indicate a strong opportunity to make further gold discoveries, increasing the scale of the target area in the Nordeau Sector. The ENZ zone is located 800 metres south of the Contact Sector and the high-grade North Contact Zone. Mineralisation found in the ENZ is shown in plan maps, cross and longitudinal sections in Exhibit 2.

The highlight results from the Cartier Resources Inc. press release are as follows:

  • In the ENZ
    • CA25-565 intersected 23.2 g/t Au over 1.0 metres in EN1 Zone.
    • CA25-570 intersected 11.9 g/t Au over 1.0 metres in EN1 Zone and 14.1 g/t Au over 1.0 metres in EN2 Zone.
    • CA25-572 intersected 7.3 g/t Au over 1.0 meters in EN1 Zone.

Note: Based on the observed intercept angles within the drill core, true thicknesses are estimated to represent approximately 70-95% of the reported core length intervals.

  • Importantly holes CA25-565, 570, and 572 confirm the newly recognized ENZ high grade gold zone near surface. Cartier plans further drilling to refine the geological model and verify the mineralization continuity. Exploration drilling is planned to test several new high-priority regional targets along the strike of the Nordeau Sector and the Cadillac Fault Zone.

Walker Lane Resources Ltd. (TSXV: WLR,OTC:CMCXF) (Frankfurt: 6YL) (‘WLR’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce the terms to its proposed non-brokered private placement. The proposed terms are to sell flow-through units of the Company (each, a ‘FT Unit’) at a price of C$0.14 per FT Unit and for gross proceeds of $140,000 and non-flow-through units of the Company (each, a ‘Unit’) at a price of C$0.125 per Unit for gross proceeds of $250,000. The aggregate gross proceeds will be C$390,000 and may be increased. A new corporate presentation has been placed in the company website at www.walkerlaneresources.com and interested participants are encouraged to contact the Company President and CEO – Kevin Brewer for further information.

Walker Lane Resources Ltd. logo (CNW Group/Walker Lane Resources Ltd)

Each FT Unit will consist of one common share of the Company to be issued as a ‘flow-through share’ within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a ‘FT Share‘) and one-half of one transferrable non-flow-through share purchase warrant (each full warrant, a ‘Warrant‘).  Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (each, a ‘Unit Share‘) and one Warrant.  Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one non-flow-through common share of the Company (each, a ‘Warrant Share‘) at a price of C$0.16 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Offering.  

Kevin Brewer, President and CEO notes: ‘This is an important first step to initiating pre-development activities at our Silver Hart Project. These funds will be used, in part, to conduct the metallurgical testing and sorting tests on a composite sample previously collected from Silver Hart. After detailed discussions with metallurgical/ore sorter technology companies, we are confident that the mineralization at Silver Hart is very conducive to density-based ore sorting and can result in successful recovery rates. These tests should be concluded in the next quarter and our plan is then to raise additional funds to undertake detailed drilling of the first proposed open pit along with commencement of engineering and environmental studies to prepare Silver Hart for eventual production. This summer we also hope to initiate drilling at our Amy project.’

Proceeds from the sale of FT Shares to eligible investors in Canada will be used to incur ‘Canadian exploration expenses’ and ‘flow through mining expenditures’ as these terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada). Such proceeds will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date not later than December 31, 2026, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of gross proceeds raised from the issue of FT Shares.

The net proceeds from the sale of FT Units will be used to fund the Company’s exploration program at its Amy and Silver Hart Properties in the Rancheria Silver District, (Yukon/British Columbia) and the net proceeds from the sale of NFT Units will be used for general working capital.

The Company may pay finders’ fees comprised of cash and non-transferable warrants (the ‘Finder’s Warrants‘) in connection with the Offering, subject to compliance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The terms of the Finder’s Warrants will be the same as the Warrants distributed in the FT Units and the NFT Units. All securities issued and sold under the Offering will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from their date of issuance. Closing is subject to customary closing conditions including, but not limited to, the negotiation and execution of subscription agreements and receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

All securities issued pursuant to the Placement will be subject to a four month and one day hold period under Canadian securities laws. Completion of the Private Placement is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSXV. There can be no guarantee that the Private Placement will be completed on the terms outlined above, or at all. The securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons in the absence of U.S. registration or an applicable exemption from the U.S. registration requirements.

The increase replaces earlier “Liberation Day” duties that the US Supreme Court ruled illegal on February 20. The administration is now invoking Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, which allows tariffs for up to 150 days unless Congress extends them, injecting fresh uncertainty into trade policy.

Bitcoin fell as much as 4.6 percent in under two hours during Asian trading, dropping from about US$67,600 to near US$64,400 before paring losses, with more than US$470 million in leveraged positions wiped out across crypto markets.

Over a 24-hour stretch, total liquidations topped US$500 million, according to CoinGlass. Ethereum dropped more than 4 percent, XRP fell over 3 percent, and crypto-linked equities including Robinhood and Strategy traded lower in premarket action.

Open-source AI project distances itself from crypto

An open-source AI agent framework known as OpenClaw has inadvertently become the center of a crypto controversy.

The project, built to power autonomous agents capable of browsing the web and executing complex tasks, was briefly rebranded amid a naming dispute before scammers launched a fake Solana-based token using its former branding.

The token’s market capitalization surged to roughly US$16 million within hours before collapsing more than 90 percent after developer Peter Steinberger disavowed any connection.

Steinberger publicly rejected the speculation, writing on X: “To all crypto folks: please stop pinging me, stop harassing me. I will never do a coin. Any project that lists me as coin owner is a SCAM.”

USDT contraction flashes rare stress signal

Tether’s USDT stablecoin is signaling liquidity strain reminiscent of the market turmoil following the FTX collapse.

According to CryptoQuant, the 60-day change in USDT supply has dropped to negative US$3 billion, which marks only the second time such a contraction has occurred. Bloomberg reported that USDT is on pace for its steepest monthly supply decline since December 2022, already shrinking by roughly US$1.5 billion in February alone.

Large-scale redemptions typically suggest institutions or major holders are pulling capital out of the crypto ecosystem rather than simply rotating between tokens.

The last comparable contraction came as Bitcoin fell toward $16,000 during the FTX crisis, before stabilizing and beginning a multi-year recovery.

Gold and silver prices experienced declines early in the week, but ended higher.

The yellow metal closed the week at US$5,111.88 per ounce, while silver finished at US$84.65 per ounce, buoyed by reignited tariff uncertainty out of the US.

On Friday (February 20), the US Supreme Court stuck down tariffs put in place by President Donald Trump using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. He quickly responded by announcing a new 10 percent global tariff and then increasing it to 15 percent, ramping up trade tensions.

Earlier in the week, Wednesday (February 18) brought the release of the US Federal Reserve’s latest meeting minutes, which show that although officials largely agreed with the January decision to hold interest rates steady, they aren’t aligned about the path forward as 2026 continues.

What’s received more attention is the Lunar New Year holiday.

Most Asian markets are closed for the occasion, and will reopen next week. I asked Ole Hansen of Saxo Bank about the significance of the closure, and he said that in his view, the more important question is what will happen when they’re back in business next week.

Here’s how he thinks that could play out:

‘I think … if they come back to more or less unchanged prices, they will see that probably as a buying opportunity. Simply — well, they probably hope that they might be able to pick it up cheaper in the absence. But if we can manage to hold these levels, then there could be a positive story building as we as we see China reopen.’

Hansen is bullish on gold this year, saying he sees it reaching US$6,000 in the next 12 months.

But interestingly, he has a different take on silver — he thinks the white metal’s upside could be limited by demand-side factors like substitution and higher supply from scrap material.

‘Gold over time can go to US$10,000, it can go to US$20,000 — it’s a monetary metal, which doesn’t really depend on demand from areas where demand could be negatively impacted with the price.

‘Silver hasn’t got that luxury. And that basically means if gold moves towards US$6,000, I would believe that — I would think that silver, at some point, will struggle to keep up, and we will see basically gold relatively outperform silver. But when that point, when that time comes, I can’t see. Again it’s very unclear, especially given the speculative demand, which can carry on for a while longer.’

I also heard this week from Christopher Aaron of iGold Advisor and Elite Private Placements, who has a much brighter outlook for silver — he said given that the metal has just broken out of a 45 year consolidation period, it still has much further to go:

‘Now that whole process, the 45 year consolidation breakout and now coming back, that is — for a number of people here — that is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime breakout. We’re talking a multi-generational breakout happening in silver right now. And it’s really important to — I mean, the bottom line is this: After 45 years of consolidation, a market doesn’t end just two months after a breakout and then kind of withering and petering out for the next 45 years. Again, that’s not how 45 year breakouts happen when we look back.’

Ultimately Aaron sees US$250 to US$350 as a reasonable price level for silver.

Bullet briefing — TSX Venture 50, BHP/Wheaton deal

Gold, silver dominate TSX Venture 50

The latest TSX Venture 50 list was released on Wednesday, with gold and silver juniors dominating. In fact, of the companies included, only three fall outside the mining sector.

The list ranks TSXV companies’ annual performance by market cap growth, share price performance and Canadian consolidated trading value. Taking the top spot was Santacruz Silver Mining (TSXV:SCZ,NASDAQ:SCZM), which had an impressive share price increase of over 1,100 percent.

As a group, the companies on the list delivered a share price increase of 431 percent.

We’ll have to wait and see whether these types of gains are repeated — or exceeded — in 2026, but the list definitely underscores the strength in gold and silver prices, and shows that their momentum is boosting not just the majors, but also the juniors.

BHP, Wheaton sign streaming deal

On the M&A side, BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) has entered into a long-term streaming agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals (TSX:WPM,NYSE:WPM).

Under the deal, which was signed by subsidiaries of BHP and Wheaton, BHP will receive an upfront payment of US$4.3 billion in exchange for the delivery of silver from the Peru-based Antamina mine, plus ongoing payments when metal is delivered. According to BHP, this is the most valuable streaming transaction to date based on upfront consideration received.

Antamina is a joint venture between commodities giants BHP, Glencore (LSE:GLEN,OTCPL:GLCNF), Teck Resources (TSX:TECK.A,TECK.B,NYSE:TECK) and Mitsubishi (TSE:8058,OTCPL:MSBHF), and Wheaton already has a silver stream in place with Glencore. Once the BHP arrangement closes, Wheaton will receive a combined 67.5 percent of the mine’s silver.
