Executive director Aiden Bishop of Great Plains Metals Corp. said the company will drill 1,000 metres at Goodrich to test the relationship between its discovery hole (0.47 copper equivalent) and historical drilling. The goal is to determine whether there is more than one pencil porphyry, an elongated gold-copper pipe that typically occurs in clusters, before testing the geometry of the pencils at depth. Historical data show mineralization of about 1.5% copper equivalent from surface, indicating very shallow mineralization with some high-grade holes. The drilling will follow a scissor-like pattern across the width of the deposit, and the results will guide the next program.

- Should Sixth Drill Program Require Action From Omai Gold Mines (TSXV:OMG) Investors?
Omai Gold Mines has mobilized a sixth diamond drill to its Guyana project to begin a 5,000 m exploration program, initially focused on the BBH target, a 600 m trend west of the Gilt Deposit where earlier trenching, drilling and historical workings indicated gold mineralization. The campaign targets saprolite-hosted ladder veins and shallow high-grade intercepts, which could clarify whether BBH supports a new near-surface gold deposit concept. The company has no revenue, a loss of $19.47m, and less than one year of cash runway, with funding from higher-risk sources. An extra drill implies higher spending, which raises financing and dilution risk, especially if the share price is used as a funding lever. The stock is down 16.6% over 30 days but still up strongly over one year.
- Medaro Mining Defines Multiple High-Grade Copper-Gold Target Areas at Bastnäs Project in Central Sweden Following 2026 Surface Sampling Program
Medaro Mining is providing more geological context for the copper-gold results from its 2026 surface sampling at the Bastnäs Project in central Sweden, without reporting new assay results. Of 218 samples collected, 56 assayed above 1.0% copper, including 10 above 10% Cu, and seven of those 10 came from waste dumps around the historic Persgruvan-Bössan underground mine (Area D). The program also returned 15 samples above 2.0 g/t gold, and the highest gold result, 16.5 g/t Au from sample BS159 at Stålklockan (Area C), also contained 3.82% Cu and 11.68% TREO. Because the samples are selective waste-dump material, the company says the results do not establish grade, width or continuity of in-situ mineralization. The company plans to focus its next copper-gold targeting on Persgruvan-Bössan and Stålklockan, and to integrate the surface results with a 2026 drone magnetic survey before finalizing drill collar locations.
- Yukon Metals identifies copper-gold system at Viper prospect
Yukon Metals has identified a porphyry-style hydrothermal system containing copper, gold and molybdenum at the Viper Prospect within its AZ Project, 36km south of Beaver Creek in Yukon. Three drill holes totalling 1,948m all intersected copper-gold-molybdenum mineralisation, with copper up to 1.85% and gold up to 1.97 g/t over 0.6m in hole AZ26-008. Surface QSP alteration, converging magnetic trends and an IP chargeability high extend the prospective corridor east-south-east. The results build on 2025 work, when reconnaissance hole AZ25-004 first indicated porphyry mineralisation about 200m north. CEO Jim Coates said the results define clear targets for the next round of drilling.
- Great Washington ShakeOut Day for Earthquake Drill at 10:15 AM
Today at 10:15 a.m., Washington residents are encouraged to drop, cover, and hold as part of the Great Washington ShakeOut Day earthquake drill. Students in classrooms across the state are also taking part. The Washington State Emergency Management team will test more than 120 tsunami sirens along the inner and outer coast using the real tsunami warning sound, and asks people not to call 911 if they hear sirens after 10:15 a.m. The station will also monitor Emergency Alert Systems (EAS) around the same time, and residents can sign up for ShakeAlert earthquake early warnings.
- Goldstorm Metals Completes 2026 Exploration Program and Provides Initial Results from Rock Sampling at the Crown Property, located in British Columbia's Golden Triangle
Goldstorm Metals (TSXV: GSTM) completed its 2026 exploration program on its 100%-owned Crown copper-gold-silver property in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, drilling seven holes totaling 4,155.5 meters. Drill assay results are pending, with the first set expected within one to two weeks and the remaining results at least three to four weeks away due to laboratory capacity. Of 526 rock samples collected, results for 310 have been received, with 25 returning above 0.5 g/t gold, including 6 above 5 g/t. Highlights include up to 155 g/t gold and 84.4 g/t silver in a High North shear zone, 40.4 g/t gold over 60 cm at Delta West, and up to 409 g/t silver and 8.02% copper at Mackie West. The company has dispatched crews to build a drill platform on the High North target for a proposed 2027 program.
- 5 Copper and Precious Metals Stocks Likely to Beat Q3 Estimates
The article says mining companies enter the third-quarter 2026 earnings season with gold, silver and copper prices well above year-ago levels, after gold and silver retreated from earlier record highs. Gold averaged about $4,305 per ounce in the quarter, up 23% year over year, silver averaged $63.22 an ounce, 59% higher, and copper averaged around $6.53 per pound. Zacks projects the Basic Materials sector's earnings to rise 29.1% on 6.2% revenue growth. It names five royalty and mining companies, FreeportMcMoRan (FCX), Franco-Nevada (FNV), Lundin Mining (LUNMF), OR Royalties (OR) and Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM), as likely to beat estimates. For FCX, Q3 copper production was about 830 million pounds and gold production 230,000 ounces, while its consolidated copper sales are estimated near 750 million pounds, and higher input costs, especially fuel and energy, are likely to have partially offset the price gains.

- Waymo Will Be “a Trillion Dollar Business. Easy” per VC Investor
Bessemer Venture Partners' Sameer Dholakia says Waymo could become a trillion-dollar business by expanding from ride-hailing into personal car ownership, trucking and logistics. The article notes Bessemer invested in Waymo's $16 billion February round, which valued the company at $126 billion. Waymo reached 500,000 paid rides a week in March, but Sacra estimates its annualized revenue at only $355 million in February, under 0.1% of Alphabet's $403 billion in 2025 revenue. Alphabet trades at 25.0x forward earnings, within its usual range, while Uber trades at 18.2x, a level analyst Walter Piecyk links to the threat from Waymo and Tesla's Robotaxi.
