- Almadex Expands Claim Block at New Hope, Provides Exploration Update
Almadex Minerals expanded its claim block at the New Hope copper-gold porphyry project in Arizona, covering a broad area of high chargeability east of its two-hole drilling campaign. Mapping and geophysics suggest the drilled holes sit on the western edge of a 2.5 km x 0.75 km zone of phyllic and remnant lithocap alteration, and IP work extended the anomaly 1.95 km east. The second hole returned 6.00 metres at 0.15% copper and 156 ppm molybdenum, including 2.00 metres at 0.34% copper. The company is designing a potential phase II drilling program. At the King target in Colorado, one hole reached 980 metres, and samples are awaiting assay.
- Mustang Completes IP Geophysical Surveys and Announces Q4 Drilling Plans for the Confusion Hills Project, Nevada, USA
Mustang Minerals has completed IP geophysical surveys at its Confusion Hills and Pilot projects in Nevada, helping better define drill targets. Pilot still needs further work before drilling, while the company has enough information to plan a single-hole exploratory diamond drilling program at Confusion Hills, where preparatory work has begun. Confusion Hills covers a 1.6 km x 0.5 km high sulphidation lithocap, where grab samples reached up to 7.1 g/t gold, and 6 samples returned over 0.1 g/t gold, averaging 1.6 g/t. Mustang will update when drilling begins. The Pilot copper-gold prospect has an approved drill permit, and the company also holds the Red Ring project.
- Barrick Mining (B) Earnings Rose 50%, but Is Cash Flow Keeping Up?
Barrick Mining (NYSE: B) reports third-quarter results early next month. Its second-quarter net earnings rose 50% year on year to $1.22 billion, helped by higher gold and copper prices, but attributable free cash flow fell to $141 million from $212 million a year earlier. The company returned $1.50 billion to shareholders in the quarter, more than the cash it had left after spending, while project spending rose 49% and all-in sustaining costs for gold climbed 11%. Cash fell from the end of March but still exceeds debt, and its dividend policy aims to pay about half of attributable free cash flow. An agreement with Newmont to expand the Nevada Gold Mines complex brings Barrick a $1.95 billion cash payment and supports an IPO of its North American gold assets expected by year end, subject to market conditions.
- Sego Resources Drilling Underway
Sego Resources Inc. (TSXV: SGZ) has started diamond drilling at its Miner Mountain Project near Princeton, British Columbia, an alkalic porphyry copper-gold project targeting near-surface disseminated gold and deeper copper-gold porphyry IP targets. A total of 2,000 m of drilling is planned under the fall-winter exploration program. The company applies a quality assurance and quality control protocol, inserting certified reference materials, duplicates and blanks into the sample stream and sending check assays to another laboratory. The 100%-owned property covers 2,056 hectares, about 15 km north of the Copper Mountain Mine operated by Hudbay Minerals, and Sego has a Memorandum of Understanding with the Upper Similkameen Indian Band.
- Nine Mile Metals hits 7.13% copper equivalent over 11.65 metres at Wedge
Nine Mile Metals (CSE:NINE) reported a high-grade copper-rich lens grading 7.13% copper equivalent over 11.65 metres at its Wedge VMS project in New Brunswick, with gold and silver adding significant value. Drill hole WD-26-18 also intersected 9.93% copper equivalent over 6.70 metres and 10.46% over 4.8 metres, plus a 31.5-metre upper copper stringer zone. Every sample across the 6.7-metre interval graded above 8.4% copper equivalent, with 71 to 136 grams per tonne of silver and 1.16 to 2.4 grams per tonne of gold. The company estimates silver and gold together make up roughly one-third of the in-situ value, and the results extend known mineralization along the eastern edge of the drill pattern. The stringer zone, grading 0.40% copper equivalent, is treated as an exploration target, and borehole electromagnetic surveying and follow-up drilling are planned to test the lens's extent.
- NorthWest Intersects 110.0 Metres of 1.86% CuEq, 0.64% Copper and 1.10 g/t Gold in the Western Zone at Kwanika from 378 Metres
NorthWest Copper (TSX-V: NWST) reported assays from three more drill holes in the Western Zone of its 100%-owned Kwanika project in British Columbia, part of a 2026 program of 43 holes totalling 12,291 metres. Hole K-26-346 intersected 110.0 metres (estimated true width 84.3 metres) grading 0.64% copper and 1.10 g/t gold (1.86% CuEq), including 39.8 metres at 2.53% CuEq and 16.1 metres at 4.37% CuEq. The drilling also found a new mineralized structure above known zones, grading 1.07% CuEq over 30 metres, and extended the current zone 25 metres up-dip. Hole spacing was reduced to about 50 metres to support higher resource classification, and results have now been reported from 14 of the 43 holes.

- A SpaceX-Tesla megamerger could benefit both companies and Elon Musk's personal fortune
SpaceX shares rose 8% and Tesla 3.5% after Elon Musk said each company had formed special committees to discuss a possible combination. At current market values, the merged company would be worth about $3.5 trillion, the largest deal ever, and Musk argues it makes sense because both businesses rely heavily on artificial intelligence. Musk owns 11% of SpaceX and 19% of Tesla, and a change-in-control provision in Tesla's pay plan could treat many performance targets as met in a merger, which would make him richer. Although the shares are very expensive by most measures, most analysts still call them a bargain, and many work for banks hoping to win Musk's business. Democrats have called for investigations into SpaceX's federal contracts and could scuttle plans if they win big in next month's midterm elections.
- Netflix Is Down 38% Since Completing Its 10-For-1 Stock Split. Here's Why the Sell-Off Is Worsening After Its Latest Earnings.
Netflix shares are down 37.9% since the 10-for-1 stock split was completed on November 17, 2025, as of the October 20 close. After its third-quarter 2026 report, the stock fell 5.9% to $64.62 in after-hours trading, which would mark a new two-year low. Revenue rose 11.8% year over year, and operating margin widened from 28.2% to 34.6%, but the company now expects $2.7 billion in full-year ad revenue, down from $3 billion, due to a slower rollout of ad product capabilities. Its 2026 revenue forecast of $51.1 billion sits 0.2% below the prior midpoint, and the article also points to competition from YouTube, a third price increase in under three years, and a valuation of 17 times 2027 earnings. Netflix ended the quarter with $8.19 billion in cash against $12.66 billion in long-term debt.
- Where Will Novo Stock Be in 10 Years?
Novo, a Denmark-based pharmaceutical company, reached an all-time high in 2024 but has since faced clinical and commercial setbacks and lost substantial market value over the past two years. Its diabetes products, including Ozempic and Rybelsus, and its obesity drug Wegovy remain core, but U.S. patents on the active ingredient in these drugs expire in 2032, potentially opening the door to cheaper generics. Near-term catalysts include CagriSema, which could be approved by year-end and combines semaglutide with cagrilintide, though it fell short of the 25% mean weight loss Novo had hoped for. The pipeline also includes amycretin, UBT251, and several oral weight loss candidates. The author sees the pipeline as deep but warns of rising competition from dozens of weight-loss drugs, slower market growth, and possible U.S. drug price negotiations.

- Amazon logistics automation offers long-term margin gains, Jefferies says
Jefferies says Amazon's warehouse automation and expanding logistics network could lift retail margins long term by reducing labour dependence. Amazon has deployed over 1 million robots, but only 40% to 45% of its US small-sortable fulfillment centers are highly automated, leaving room for growth. A US$1 hourly wage rise would add about US$1.1 billion to costs, and Amazon has around US$27 billion of visible capex planned for automation and delivery. Jefferies sees third-party parcel delivery as a growth area, with US delivery stations possibly growing from about 575 to 950 by 2030 and early trials showing 20% to 25% savings for shippers. Grocery is harder given US$10 to US$12 delivery cost per order, though the broker sees potential in Amazon's planned Illinois hybrid retail concept expected in 2028.
