Iamgold (IAG), a Canadian mid-tier gold producer, traded at $16.26 on October 23, 2026 after rallying 41% over the past year. Its Superscore of 81 out of 100 places it in the Top ~5% of companies scored, driven largely by the Côté Gold mine, which averaged a record 37,100 tonnes per day in September, above its 36,000 tonne nameplate. Mine-site free cash flow reached a record $1.2 billion in 2025, net debt fell by over $500 million, and buybacks retired 27.9 million shares through mid-2026. The article notes risks including operations in Burkina Faso and all-in sustaining costs of $2,271/oz, while an updated mine plan due in Q4 will incorporate a consolidated resource topping 20 million ounces.

IAMGOLD released preliminary operating results for its Côté Gold Mine for the third quarter of 2026 ahead of an analyst and investor tour on October 22, 2026. Côté produced 64,400 attributable ounces in the quarter (92,000 ounces on a 100% basis), bringing year-to-date attributable output to 184,000 ounces, and mining reached a quarterly record of 12.4 million tonnes. Mill throughput averaged a record 37,100 tonnes per day in September, above the 36,000 tpd nameplate capacity, following an extended annual shutdown in August and the move to owner-only crushing. The company expects higher fourth-quarter output and 2026 attributable production at the lower end of its 270,000 to 310,000 ounce guidance range. An updated mine plan and Mineral Reserve estimate are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026, with the plan expected to support sustained processing of about 40,000 tpd, and full third-quarter results will be reported on November 5, 2026.
- New Found Gold Announces Queensway Gold Project Revised PEA and Updated MRE: After-Tax NPV Increases to $1.7 B with 126% IRR; Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource Increases by 38%
New Found Gold released a revised preliminary economic assessment (PEA) and updated mineral resource estimate for its 100%-owned Queensway Gold Project in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The after-tax NPV5% is C$1.728 billion at a base case gold price of US$3,600 per ounce, rising to C$2.225 billion at US$4,100 per ounce, with IRRs of 126% and 164% respectively. Phase 1 initial capital is C$149.8 million, and the 15-year plan produces 1.744 million ounces of gold, with payback under one year at US$3,600 per ounce. Measured and Indicated mineral resources rose 38% to 1.920 Moz Au, and the company says it is fully funded, citing about C$167 million in cash at September 30, 2026 and a further C$35 million debt facility. First mineralized material from Queensway is expected at the Pine Cove mill in Q4/27.
- Sun Summit Minerals eyes Q1 2027 maiden resource after 99% gold recovery results
CEO Neil Murata says Sun Summit Minerals focuses on gold exploration in British Columbia's Toodoggone district, with the JD project receiving over 90% of capital. The company has drilled 16,000 meters across 55 holes this year, reporting 13 so far and 42 still to come. It expects a maiden resource estimate in Q1 and sees potential for a resource north of 1 million ounces. Gold recoveries reached up to 99%, with almost half coming through the gravity circuit. Murata argues the market cap below CAD 50 million does not reflect this upside, noting that upwards of 200 million has been invested in the district by Freeport and Anglo Gold Ashanti over about 18 months.
- ProAm Expands Golden Ridge Property to Cover More than 13 Kilometres of a Prospective Gold-Hosting Structural Corridor
ProAm Explorations (CSE: PMX) has staked over 10 square kilometres of additional ground at its Golden Ridge Gold Project in western New Brunswick, extending its land position to more than 13 kilometres along an untested structural corridor. The Kirkland claim group includes a 300-by-100-metre zone of sericite-carbonate alteration similar to that at the Poplar Mountain gold occurrence, plus historical geophysical anomalies yet to be tested. Drawing on a 2023 study that interprets a deep-seated intrusion as a source of mineralizing fluids at Poplar Mountain, ProAm aims to find additional mineralized centres along the crustal-scale Woodstock Fault. The new 1,077-hectare claim, 12691, is contiguous with the existing project. A New Brunswick Government regional airborne survey is expected to be publicly released in October.
- Canagold Drills 69.8 g/t Gold (Au) over 2.6m; Within 4.64m Averaging 52.8 g/t Au and 0.83% Antimony (Sb)
Canagold Resources reported assays from three more holes (NP26-07, NP26-08 and NP26-09) in its recently completed 14-hole, 7,277 m infill and expansion program at the 100%-owned New Polaris Gold Project in northwestern British Columbia. Hole NP26-08 returned 52.8 g/t gold and 0.83% antimony over 4.64 m from 503 m, including 69.8 g/t gold over 2.64 m, while NP26-07 intersected 24.6 g/t gold over 7.33 m from 458.5 m. CEO Catalin Kilofliski said most of these high-grade intervals are not included in the current mineral resource model or mine plan, pointing to significant potential for resource expansion. The company believes the high-grade gold and antimony mineralization may be substantially greater than previously understood.

- In pictures: Initially peaceful protests across France over inequality again descend into violence
Mostly peaceful protests across France over rising living costs and inequality turned violent again at the weekend. France's Interior Ministry said 410,000 people joined rallies in several major cities, including Paris. In Paris, riot police used tear gas and water cannon against about 500 hooded youths throwing stones, while in Marseille, youths blocked streets, set fire to bins and threw rocks and bottles at police. The protests began when high school students in suburban Paris complained about poor school conditions, including teacher shortages. The yield on France's 10-year bond rose above 5% for the first time since 2002, settling at about 5.03% on Friday, and some investors fear the debt problems could spread across the euro zone.

- Gold Royalty Fell While It Turned A Profit
Gold Royalty reported record Q1 2026 revenue of US$7.2 million and net income of US$1.8 million, along with a larger undrawn credit facility and a reaffirmed multi-year production outlook. In Q2 2026, revenue was US$6.7 million with net income of US$1.8 million, versus US$3.8 million in revenue and a US$0.8 million loss a year earlier, and net margin moved from a loss-making 21.7% to a positive 26.5%. Even so, the shares fell from US$4.04 at the start of the year to US$2.83, leaving investors who held since then down 30.6% including dividends. At the start of the year, the bullish view put fair value at US$6.03 and the bearish view at US$3.25, and the article says the key question is whether royalty cash flows can grow sustainably enough to outweigh dilution, acquisition costs and gold price swings.
- Iran says it shot down US drone after Trump's warning
Iran's military said its air defenses shot down a US drone over the southern port city of Bandar Abbas, and Tasnim reported it was a US-made LUCAS drone. The incident came after President Trump said on October 24 that the US could strike Iran “as early as tomorrow” or reach a deal, and stated the goal of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. He said Iran could avoid further military action by complying with an agreement, but was unsure of the next step. The Wall Street Journal reported that aircraft from the USS George Washington carrier group were being readied, and that the US had reportedly evacuated some diplomatic posts and military bases in the region. Mohamad Elmasry, a professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, said these signs point to a new round of fighting.
