About Lode Gold

Lode Gold (TSXV: LOD,OTC:LODFF) is an exploration and development company with projects in highly prospective and safe mining jurisdictions in Canada and the United States.

In Canada Lode Gold holds assets in the Yukon and New Brunswick. Lode Gold’s Yukon assets are located on the southern portion of the prolific Tombstone Belt and cover approximately 99.5 km2 across a 27 km strike. Over 4,500 m have been drilled on the Yukon assets with confirmed gold endowment and economic drill intercepts over 50 m. There are four reduced-intrusive targets (RIRGS), in addition to sedimentary-hosted orogenic exploration gold.

In New Brunswick, Lode Gold, through its subsidiary 1475039 B.C. Ltd., has created one of the largest land packages in the province with its Acadian Gold Joint Venture, consisting of an area that spans 445 km2 with a 44 km strike. It has confirmed gold endowment with mineralized rhyolites.

In the United States, the Company is focused on its advanced exploration and development asset, the Fremont Mine in Mariposa, California. It has a recent 2025 NI 43-101 report and compliant MRE that can be accessed here https://lode-gold.com/project/freemont-gold-usa/.

Fremont was previously mined until gold mining prohibition in WWII, when its mining license was suspended. Only 8% of the resource identified in the 2025 MRE has been extracted. This asset has exploration upside and is open at depth (three step-out holes at 1,300 m hit structure and were mineralized) and on strike. This is a brownfield project with over 43,000 m drilled, 23 km of underground workings and 14 adits. The project has excellent infrastructure with close access to electricity, water, state highways, railhead and port.

The Company recently completed an internal scoping study evaluating the potential to resume operations at Fremont based on 100% underground mining. Previously, in March 2023, the Company completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment (‘PEA’) in accordance with NI 43-101 which evaluated a mix of open pit and underground mining. The PEA and other technical reports prepared on the Company’s properties are available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and the Company’s website (www.lode-gold.com).

Today’s crypto news to know

Ethereum breaks US$4,000 as Ripple and Chainlink spark altcoin rally

Ethereum surged past US$4,000 early Friday, hitting near year-to-date highs amid a broader rally in altcoins led by Ripple and Chainlink.

XRP jumped up to 8 percent after Ripple announced a US$200 million acquisition of Rail, a stablecoin payments platform designed to expand its cross-border settlement network.

Chainlink’s LINK token rose as much as 11 percent following news of its new Chainlink Reserve, which will accumulate LINK using revenue from institutional and on-chain fees.

Other major coins, including Solana, also saw gains in early trading. Ripple’s deal aims to integrate stablecoin pay-ins and payouts for USD and other currencies without requiring businesses to hold crypto.

The rally also coincided with President Trump’s executive order promoting alternative assets like crypto in retirement accounts, adding to bullish sentiment in the market.

Trump order opens door for Crypto and private equity in 401(k)s

President Trump has signed an executive order directing the Labor Department to review its fiduciary rules for retirement plans, potentially clearing the way for assets like cryptocurrency, private equity, and real estate to be included in 401(k)s.

While no laws have changed, the move signals a shift from the Biden-era stance that warned against crypto in retirement accounts.

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) still requires fiduciaries to choose “prudent” investments, meaning employers will need to justify the inclusion of volatile or opaque assets. Legal experts say the order could influence how federal agencies interpret the rules, but it won’t override decades of court precedents on fiduciary duty.

For now, employers remain cautious due to the risk of lawsuits over imprudent or overly expensive options. Crypto in 401(k)s remains rare, though large firms like BlackRock are already exploring target-date funds with alternative assets.

Binance artners with Spain’s BBVA to bolster asset security

Binance is teaming up with Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA), Spain’s second-largest bank, to give customers the option of storing their assets with a regulated custodian rather than directly on the exchange.

The arrangement is designed to reassure investors after Binance’s US$4.3 billion fine from US regulators in 2023 over anti–money laundering failures.

With BBVA acting as an independent custodian, customer funds would remain secure even if Binance faced hacking, insolvency, or further regulatory action. The partnership leverages BBVA’s strong reputation for compliance and innovation, aiming to encourage more cautious investors to engage with crypto.

The move also follows leadership changes at Binance, including founder Changpeng Zhao’s resignation and brief prison sentence, as the company works to repair its image.

The 4,000m drilling campaign aims to unlock district-scale potential by testing a possible extension of Aris’ producing vein system in Colombia’s premier high-grade gold corridor

Quimbaya Gold Inc. (CSE: QIM,OTC:QIMGF) (OTCQB: QIMGF) (FSE: K05) (‘Quimbaya’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce the commencement of its inaugural diamond drill campaign at the 100%-owned Tahami South Project in Antioquia, Colombia. The fully permitted 4,000-meter program marks Quimbaya’s transition from surface exploration to drill-testing in one of the country’s most prolific gold-producing districts.

Highlights

  • Tahami South is located adjacent to Aris Mining’s Segovia Mine, one of Colombia’s highest-grade and most productive gold operations.

  • The project covers a series of mapped epithermal gold-silver veins that trend through both the Segovia Mine and onto Quimbaya’s ground.

  • Despite extensive artisanal activity and positive surface sampling, the property has never seen diamond drilling.

  • Quimbaya’s 2025 fieldwork outlined multiple drill-ready targets with strong geochemistry, hydrothermal alteration, and structural control.

  • Drilling began in early August 2025, with initial results anticipated in Q4.

A Strategic First Drill Test in Colombia’s Premier Gold District

Tahami South lies within the Colombia’s premier high-grade corridor, a region known for high-grade quartz epithermal gold systems. Recent work by Quimbaya has confirmed widespread alteration, stockwork veins, and placer-style artisanal mining, all indicators of a potentially fertile gold system.

‘The old adage in exploration holds true: the best place to find a mine is next to a mine,’ said Alexandre P. Boivin, CEO of Quimbaya Gold. ‘We’re the first company to deploy modern exploration on this part of the Segovia trend. Our systematic work, including soil geochemistry, channel and rock sampling, stream sediments sampling and structural modelling, has built a robust case for drill testing. We’re now turning that data into action.’

Drill Targets and Geological Context

The initial program will test multiple zones across a structural corridor interpreted to be a continuation of the Segovia vein system. Planned holes will target:

  • Structural intersections mapped across sections A-A’, B-B’, C-C’, E-E’ and H-H’

  • Zones with strong sericitic alteration, quartz veins, hydrothermal breccias, and gold-bearing stockworks

  • Areas proximal to active artisanal workings, suggesting near-surface mineralisation

Surface sampling has returned:

  • Rock chip assays up to 11.21 g/t Au

  • Panel rock assays up to 23.3 g/t Ag

  • Auger soils up to 59 ppb Au and MMI soils up to 37.1 ppb Au

  • Multi-element pathfinder anomalies (As, Cu, Pb, Zn) coincident with structural targets

‘This program is the culmination of months of disciplined geoscience,’ said Ricardo Sierra, VP Exploration. ‘We’ve mapped out structural trends, alteration zones, and artisanal footprints that all suggest a large-scale epithermal system. Now, we’re finally testing it below surface.’

Demand for helium is rising alongside the semiconductor, healthcare and nuclear energy sectors.

Produced from natural gas wells, helium is an odorless, colorless, non-toxic, non-combustible and non-corrosive gas. While it may bring to mind birthday balloons, the element is an important industrial gas due to its cooling properties.

Helium has several critical applications across various industries witnessing market growth, including the manufacturing of semiconductors and electronics, medical imaging and nuclear power generation.

Global helium supply is mainly attributable to production at liquefaction facilities spread across the US, Qatar, Algeria, Russia, Australia, Canada, Poland and China. However, increasing demand for helium as an industrial gas is spurring further exploration and development of helium projects, including in Canada and in the US.

1. Pulsar Helium (TSXV:PLSR)

Market cap: C$46.05 million

Pulsar Helium is a helium project development company with assets in the United States and Greenland.

The company’s Topaz project in Minnesota is the newest helium discovery in the US, and drilling at its Jetstream #1 well in 2024 demonstrated high helium concentrations of 14.5 percent. Pulsar is also the first company in Greenland to obtain a license for helium exploration. According to the company, its Tunu helium-geothermal project in the country is one of just a few primary helium projects in Europe.

At Topaz, Pulsar is conducting a well flow testing program at the Jetstream prospect during the summer to gain data necessary to assess the project’s production potential. As for Tunu, a pre-feasibility study is underway at the project and is slated for completion by the end of August 2025.

2. Desert Mountain Energy (TSXV:DME)

Market cap: C$18.84 million

Next up on this list of top Canadian helium stocks is Desert Mountain Energy, a company engaged in the exploration, development and production of helium, hydrogen, natural gas and condensate projects in the US. Its key helium project is the West Pecos gas field in New Mexico, where it has a fully operational helium processing facility. It also owns the high-grade Holbrook Basin helium project in Arizona.

In 2025, Desert Mountain Energy is expanding into the international market with the formation of its wholly owned subsidiary Desert Energy UK, which has secured a substantial onshore exploration license for helium and hydrogen in Devon, United Kingdom.

3. Helium Evolution (TSXV:HEVI)

Market cap: C$12.07 million

Helium Evolution is a helium exploration company with over 5 million acres of helium land rights in Southern Saskatchewan, Canada. The company holds a 20 percent working interest in helium wells on joint lands with North American Helium, which is advancing the joint 2-31 discovery, with development wells planned for late 2025.

Earlier this year, Helium Evolution formed a collaboration agreement and secured a substantial investment from ENEOS Explora USA, a subsidiary of Japanese energy conglomerate ENEOS Group (TSE:5020), through two private placements. The second, closed in May, brought ENEOS’ total stake in Helium Evolution to about 28 percent.

4. Avanti Helium (TSXV:AVN)

Market cap: C$11.97 million

Avanti Helium’s helium exploration and development assets include approximately 78,000 acres within the Greater Knappen area, which covers land in both Southern Alberta, Canada, and Northwest Montana, US. It also owns approximately 63,000 acres of prospective helium permits within Southwest Saskatchewan.

Avanti’s Sweetgrass pool project in Montana is on track to achieve helium production in Q4 of 2025, the company stated in its April investor presentation. The company has two wells at Sweetgrass capable of total gas production of approximately 18,500 million cubic feet per day at 1.1 percent helium.

In August, Avanti announced it signed a multi-year offtake agreement with a global industrial gas supplier for a minimum monthly helium purchase volume equivalent to about one third of Sweetgrass’ initial plant output.

5. Altura Energy (TSXV:ALTU)

Market cap: C$8.21 million

Altura Energy is an exploration and production company which holds 27,000 acres in the Holbrook basin of Arizona, where its wells produce helium at concentrations of 5 percent to 8 percent. The company has a development plan for over 300 wells, with nine wells currently connected to a pipeline and an additional 10 wells at various stages of completion.

Formerly known as Total Helium, the company completed a name change and share consolidation in May 2025. In June, Altura announced it closed an up-sized brokered private placement for C$1.99 million, a quarter of which was used to settle outstanding indebtedness, with proceeds also planned for working capital.

Chile’s state-owned copper giant Codelco is seeking approval to restart parts of its flagship El Teniente mine less than a week after a deadly collapse killed six workers and forced a full suspension of operations, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The accident, triggered by a 4.2-magnitude seismic event last Thursday (July 31), halted production at the world’s largest underground copper mine.

Codelco has formally requested Chile’s National Geology and Mining Service (Sernageomin) to allow a partial reopening of the mine, pending approval of safety and technical evaluations, two sources told Reuters.

The cave-in, which was triggered by the earthquake, occurred more than 900 meters underground and initially trapped five miners.

Their bodies were recovered over several days by a rescue team of more than 100 people, including veterans of Chile’s 2010 San José mine rescue. The body of a sixth miner, who was killed at the time of the collapse, was recovered earlier.

“We deeply regret this outcome,” said O’Higgins Region Prosecutor Aquiles Cubillo on Sunday, confirming the final recovery. He offered no additional details on the cause of the collapse, which remains under investigation.

Operations at El Teniente were formally suspended by Sernageomin, Chile’s geology and mining agency, shortly after the incident.

It also instructed Codelco to submit four comprehensive technical reports before any restart can be authorized. The reports must include: an analysis of the collapse’s cause, a recovery plan, an assessment of current fortification systems, and a wider structural evaluation.

While underground mining has stopped, Codelco has maintained limited activity at El Teniente. The company is conducting ongoing maintenance at the processing plant and smelter, including operations at the smelter’s anode furnaces every two hours to keep critical equipment in operable condition.

Codelco said it had responded to three separate information requests from Sernageomin and Chile’s Labor Inspectorate, but added that it could not yet estimate the financial or operational impact of the suspension.

Scrutiny on safety standards

Mining Minister Aurora Williams ordered the temporary cessation of activities at the mine over the weekend. Meanwhile, Energy and Mining Minister Diego Pacheco said on Sunday that Codelco would commission an international audit to understand what went wrong.

“We’re going to commission an international audit to determine what we did wrong,” Pacheco said. While no formal complaints had been received about the safety conditions of the site, he pledged that a full investigation and appropriate corrective measures are underway.

El Teniente, located about 100 kilometers south of Santiago in the Andes mountains, is a cornerstone of Codelco’s operations and Chile’s mining economy.

It produced 356,000 metric tons of copper in 2024, nearly 7 percent of the country’s total output. The mine has operated for over a century and contains a labyrinth of more than 4,500 kilometers (2,800 miles) of tunnels.

The seismic event that triggered the collapse, while relatively mild by global standards. has raised questions about the structural integrity of older sections of the mine and the adequacy of current fortification systems.

A blow to expansion efforts

The accident is a significant setback for Codelco as it seeks to modernize its aging infrastructure and boost production after years of underinvestment.

The collapsed area is believed to be part of the Andesita section of the mine, a relatively small but strategically important component of El Teniente’s broader expansion, which includes the Andes Norte and Diamante projects.

The Andesita development is intended to help offset declines in older zones and maintain output levels through the next decade. Its disruption will likely ripple through Codelco’s project pipeline, which is already under pressure due to rising costs.

Though Chile boasts one of the world’s safest mining sectors – a fatality rate of just 0.02 percent in 2024 – the string of incidents at Codelco sites has drawn concern from unions and regulators alike.

The industry’s worst accident remains the 1945 fire at El Teniente, which killed 355 miners and stands as one of the deadliest mining disasters in history.

Sranan Gold Corp. (CSE: SRAN) (FSE: P84) (Tradegate: P84) (‘Sranan’ or the ‘Company’) announces three channel samples with an apparent width of 5 metres that averaged 36.7 gramstonne (gt) gold were sampled in trench 25RACH-001, the first trench of an ongoing trenching program at the Tapanahony Project in Suriname.

This initial trench is located 150 metres south of Randy’s Pit, which is the largest artisanal mine within the Tapanahony Project. The previously announced high-grade grab samples from underground workings within Randy’s Pit (76.6 g/t and 23.7 g/t gold – see news release dated July 31, 2025) are located approximately 350 metres to the north.

The mineralization intersected in this generally north-south oriented trench trends to the northwest. These results represent the projection of gold mineralization beyond Randy’s Pit to the south. This high-grade interval was missed in historical drilling. Gold mineralization is hosted within sugary textured transposed quartz veins that are associated with sericite-limonite alteration and oxidized pyrite relics. The trench sampled upper saprolite material at the contact zone between sheared sedimentary and granitic rocks, which is an excellent host for gold as seen at the Antino Project, majority owned by Founders Metals, as well as elsewhere in the Guiana Shield.

Dr. Dennis LaPoint, Executive VP of Exploration and Corporate Development, commented: ‘This initial trench further confirms the potential to extend the Randy trend. Multiple gold systems in Suriname are related to complex, multi-stage deformation zones that include tension veins that enhance grade. The ongoing trenching program is designed to further extend the strike length of the Randy trend. Trenching will be conducted simultaneously with drilling on the Randy trend.’

Samples were prepared and assayed by Filab in Paramaribo, Suriname. All samples >2 g/T were re-assayed with 50-gram re-assay and gravimetric assay. Standard QA/QC procedures were followed which showed a satisfactory level of reproducibility. Reject samples will be sent to an independent lab for confirmation of assay results following standard procedures. Channel sampling, trenching and drilling are used to determine average grade and thickness. The Company notes that the channel samples may not represent true thickness of mineralization.
