Liberty Gold has engaged M3 as its EPCM consultant and NewFields to advance detailed engineering for the Black Pine project in Idaho, building on the preliminary and full feasibility studies completed over the last 2 years. The company has executed contracts with CGS for the full fabrication of the ADR plant and refinery packages and with Nexus for the project's electrical transformers, with anticipated delivery ahead of construction needs. Detailed engineering is targeted for completion in Q3 2027, with construction targeted to commence in H1 2028, subject to permitting approvals and a formal construction decision. Bids for the mining equipment fleet have been received and are being evaluated with the support of three independent specialist consultants. Liberty Gold says these steps are intended to reduce schedule risk and prepare the project for a transition into construction.

- NexGold Reports Progress on Development Activities at the Goldboro Gold Project in Nova Scotia
NexGold says it began early works construction at its Goldboro Gold Project in mid-September and has made significant progress on an updated Feasibility Study, which it expects to complete by the end of the fourth quarter of 2026. The study is expected to support the non-binding US$175 million letter of intent with Appian Capital Advisory Limited on potential project financing and to inform the Board's evaluation of a final investment decision. The company awarded the site preparation and early earthworks contract to Mi'kma'ki-Municipal Limited Partnership, with construction starting on September 17, and awarded seven site services contracts, several to Mi'kmaw-owned companies. It issued 16 long-lead equipment packages for bids, received proposals for 13, and expects the first awards before the end of October, while the site earthworks contract is scheduled to start in early 2027.
- WESCAN GOLDFIELDS REPORTS ENCOURAGING DRILL CORE OBSERVATIONS IN FIRST HOLE OF 2026 DRILL CAMPAIGN AT MUNRO LAKE; ASSAYS PENDING
Wescan Goldfields reports that visible gold was identified in drill core from hole ML26-005, the first hole of its 2026 drill campaign at the Munro Lake Project in northern Saskatchewan. The gold occurs at 33.4 metres downhole in a narrow calc-silicate shear over a core length of about 10 centimetres, and the company notes that visible gold is not a reliable proxy for assay results. The hole was drilled to test the North Vein Target, where visible gold was reported in surface quartz vein material on October 19, 2026, and it intersected a wide high-strain zone interpreted as the main shear hosting the North and South Vein Targets. Assays are pending, and Wescan is sampling the full length of every hole in the campaign, which it expects to complete in early November.

Detailed engineering is about 42% complete, and over 50% of procurement packages have been awarded, representing about C$360 million in commitments to date. The project targets first gold pour in Q1 2029 and commercial production in H2 2029, with more than 400 personnel on site.
- IAMGOLD Drilling Extends Mineralization at Nelligan, Intersects High-Grade Gold at Monster Lake and Advances Philibert Within Its Nelligan Mining Complex
IAMGOLD reports assay results from its ongoing 2025-2026 drilling programs at the Nelligan Mining Complex, which it owns 100%. The results confirm depth extension of mineralized zones at Nelligan, Monster Lake and Philibert and help define existing resources with more closely spaced drilling.
- Cosigo Resources Completes Drilling Campaign at Taraira and Announces Non-Brokered Convertible Debenture Financing
Cosigo Resources has demobilized its drill rig from the Taraira Ridge crest to its base camp in preparation for a drilling campaign targeted for 2027. The recent campaign (Holes #26 to #30) brought cumulative drill coverage to 5.5 km of the 27-km ridge system, with Holes #26 (139.83 meters) and #27 (141.5 meters) reaching the greatest depths drilled on the property; the company stresses these figures do not indicate gold presence, continuity or grade. Core and RC chips are being prepared for dispatch to independent ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories, a process that may take as much as six weeks, while a multi-method assay program addressing coarse, uneven gold distribution continues. Separately, Cosigo announced a non-brokered offering of unsecured convertible debentures for gross proceeds of up to CAD$115,500, with 15% annual interest payable at maturity, a six-month term, and subject to regulatory approval.

- Lion Rock Receives State and County Permits for Pegmatite Extraction & Bulk Sampling
Lion Rock Resources received a state mining license from South Dakota's Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR), which together with a previously approved Lawrence County Conditional Use Permit completes permitting to mine pegmatite and conduct bulk sampling at its Volney project in the Black Hills. The company is advancing metallurgical studies, targets a bulk sampling program in 2027, and is evaluating small-scale mining that could generate revenue. Recent drilling returned tantalum intercepts of up to 3,715 ppm Ta₂O₅ over 1.0 m, alongside tin and lithium mineralization. No production decision has been made, and historical concentrate grades of up to 57% Ta₂O₅, 62.5% Sn and 6.3% Li₂O have not been fully verified by a Qualified Person.
- Several Important Factors Protect Amazon’s Margins and Secure Its AI Moat
The author says they added to an Amazon position at $249.09, up 7.92% year to date, as the business accelerates. The article argues that in-house chips, the Bedrock platform supporting multiple AI models and automated logistics help protect margins. Amazon's chips business is reported to run at an annual revenue rate above $25 billion, while AWS posted a 39% operating margin on $42.2 billion in revenue, up 36.7%. The AWS backlog stands at $496 billion, and operating income rose 43.24% to $27.46 billion while revenue grew 19.62%. The article also flags risks: 2026 capex is expected at about $220 billion, trailing 12-month free cash flow was -$7.6 billion, and Q2 GAAP EPS included a $53.4 billion pre-tax gain on the Anthropic stake. Q3 operating income guidance is $22.5 billion to $26.5 billion, compared with $17.4 billion a year earlier.
- CoreWeave Vs. Nvidia: Demand For Silicon is Not The Same Thing as Solvent, Credit-Backed Demand for Physical Infrastructure
CoreWeave and NVIDIA both posted record quarters on AI demand, but the article contrasts NVIDIA's cash from chip sales with CoreWeave's borrowing to build rented data centers. NVIDIA reported fiscal Q2 revenue of $96.221B, up 105.8%, with a 75.0% non-GAAP gross margin, while CoreWeave's revenue rose 112.3% to $2.575B alongside a $104.2 billion backlog. CoreWeave's interest expense rose to $640M from $267M, and its free cash flow was -$5.743B. NVIDIA now offers minimum revenue guarantees, with obligations limited to $108.5B, to help NeoClouds secure financing. The article notes CoreWeave shares fell 36.99% over the past month and are down 22.93% year to date, while NVIDIA is up 16.09%, and argues NVIDIA is better positioned because it is paid at the hardware sale.
- Amkor Technology Halved Over The Last 6 Months: Two Chip Analysts Say 145% Returns Await Those Who Buy Now
Amkor shares, at $36.81, have fallen 51.18% over six months after a Q3 miss: EPS of $0.76 came in below the $0.7766 consensus, and revenue of $1.99 billion missed roughly $2.04 billion expected. Revenue growth slowed to 0.18% year over year, the Communications share of revenue fell to 37% from 51%, and Q4 EPS guidance of $0.65 to $0.75 sits below the $0.7774 consensus. Two analysts, Needham's Charles Shi and UBS's Randy Abrams, carry $90 targets set before the miss, implying about 144% upside from current levels, while the $74.50 consensus target implies about 102%. The article cites AI packaging demand and Q3 gross margin expansion to 18.3% from 14.3%, but notes roughly $2.5 billion in full-year capex. The stock is down 6.3% year to date, while the S&P 500 is up 12.24%.
- Prediction: Broadcom Stock Could Be Worth Twice as Much by 2030
Broadcom's AI semiconductor revenue reached $16.70B, up 221% year over year, and total revenue rose 85.5% to $29.59B, yet the stock is down 6.45% this year at $323.24. The article says shares sit near the 52-week low of $288.95 rather than the high of $493.28, and points to competition from Google's cheaper second sources and a 210 basis point sequential drop in gross margin. The article's model sets a one-year target of $402.33, while the consensus target is $527.59. Reaching $650 by 2030 would require a 101.1% gain, or about 35x the forward EPS of $18.376. The article ties this to AI revenue of roughly $115 billion in fiscal 2027 and $230 billion in fiscal 2028, with management saying fiscal 2028 EPS should exceed $30. The main risk noted is that a few AI labs drive most of the demand.
- Microsoft Is Paying Workers to Leave So It Can Pay for AI
Microsoft offered voluntary buyouts on October 26 to about 60,000 employees, roughly 27% of the 223,000 full-time staff as of June 30. The article links the offer to rising AI spending, though the announcement does not mention AI or cost cutting. The stock rose 1.54% to $532.60, and the company is valued at about $3.95 trillion. Fiscal 2026 capex reached $115.95 billion, up 79.62%, while free cash flow fell 6.46%, and calendar-2026 capex is put at about $175 billion. The offer covers level 70 and below on selected teams such as Xbox, Windows, Copilot and Finance, while data center, sales and marketing staff are largely excluded. Wells Fargo, which rates the stock Overweight with a $725 target, estimates that if one-third of eligible workers accept, operating margin could rise about 2 percentage points a year, though uptake and total cost were not disclosed.
