Lode Gold Resources (TSXV: LOD) has started exploration work to evaluate additional gold potential at its 100%-owned Fremont Gold Mine in Mariposa County, California. The historic mine, halted in 1942, has seven deposits and four former mines, with about 23 km of underground workings and 43,000 m of historical drilling, but its 2026 mineral resource estimate covers only three of those deposits. Historical exploration has covered less than 20% of the 3,351-acre property, so the company is expanding its evaluation to all seven deposits and nine additional targets, starting with French Mine, a high-grade historical mine (10.7 g/t Au) about two km from Pine Tree–Josephine. If its potential is confirmed, French Mine could add higher-grade material through blending, and current work includes fieldwork and a review of historical records to build a three-dimensional geological model.

- LODE GOLD COMPLETES FIRST SIX HOLES OF EXPANDED 20-HOLE DRILL PROGRAM AT FREMONT GOLD MINE
Lode Gold Resources has completed the first six drill holes of its expanded 20-hole campaign at the Fremont Gold Mine in Mariposa County, California, and added ten holes, bringing the program to 4,200 meters (13,780 feet). The six holes represent half of the planned 12-hole metallurgical drilling program, and samples from the first two holes have been sent to the lab, with assay results pending. The holes use PQ-diameter core to supply material for both gold assays and metallurgical testing, with planned target depths of about 105 to 171 meters. CEO Wendy T. Chan said the company expects news flow and drilling from Q4 2026 through Q1 2027, including in-situ hydrogeological holes followed by step-out exploration.
- Lode Gold Initiates Exploration to Evaluate Upside Potential at Historic High-Grade Mines Within Fremont Gold Mine
Lode Gold Resources (TSXV: LOD) announced on October 26, 2026 that it is starting exploration to assess additional gold potential at its 100%-owned Fremont Gold Mine in Mariposa County, California. The historic mine has seven deposits, four former mines, about 23 kilometres of underground workings and 43,000 metres of historical drilling, but its 2026 resource estimate covers only three of the deposits. The company is expanding its evaluation to all seven deposits and nine additional targets, starting with French Mine, a historical site about two kilometres by truck from Pine Tree-Josephine that reported gold grades of 10.7 g/t Au. Fieldwork and a review of historical records are underway to build a three-dimensional geological model, and CEO Wendy T. Chan said the company believes there could be significant upside at the previously producing mines. Any potential mining development remains subject to further geological, technical and economic assessments.

- Visionary Receives Exploration Permits for Its High-Grade Copper and Gold Pine Bay Project in the Flin Flon Mining District, Manitoba
Visionary Copper and Gold Mines (TSXV: VCG) has received two exploration work permits from the Province of Manitoba, valid through December 31, 2028, covering its Pine Bay project and the adjoining Alberts Lake property. The permits allow diamond drilling, line cutting, geophysics and trail clearing on Crown land, so the company can advance Pine Bay at an appropriate time. The Rainbow deposit, on Mineral Lease 59 about 16 km from Flin Flon, has an Indicated Mineral Resource of 3.44 Mt grading 3.59% CuEq and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.28 Mt grading 2.95% CuEq. Visionary has submitted an Advanced Exploration Permit application, still pending, that covers ramp access and a proposed 10,000-tonne bulk sample. Six targets outlined in 2025 include some earlier intersections of 5.33% Cu over 3.05 m and 38.50 g/t Au over 3.0 m.

- Nasdaq-100 in correction again as AI earnings ‘not good enough’
Luke Kawa of Sherwood News says this round of big-tech earnings was good but “not good enough” for the market, pushing the Nasdaq 100 into correction for the third time this year. US chip stocks had fallen 29% from their June high, though they remain up on the year. He notes Amazon and Alphabet reported solid numbers, with AWS expected to grow 40% in 2027 and 2028, yet the results failed to satisfy investors. Citing Conor Sen, he argues the bigger issue is the debt and stock issuance hyperscalers are using to fund AI buildouts. After steady bond and stock supply, spreads on the group’s long-dated bonds have widened, and there was no US investment-grade bond issuance from them in September.
- PLTR Stock Gets Price Target Hikes After ‘Another Top-Line Blowout,’ But Jefferies Sees Better AI Bets In MSFT, ORCL, SNOW Shares
Palantir (PLTR) shares fell about 5% in morning trade, even as several analysts raised their price targets after third-quarter results. Revenue rose 96% year over year to $2.31 billion, beating expectations of $2.17 billion, and the company raised its full-year revenue forecast to $8.53 billion from about $8.15 billion. The main concern was total contract value (TCV), which grew only 6% to $2.92 billion, sharply down from 49% growth in the second quarter, with analysts linking the slowdown to shorter contracts. Citi raised its target to $265 and kept a 'Buy' rating, while Jefferies held its $80 target with an 'Underperform' rating and said Microsoft (MSFT), Oracle (ORCL) and Snowflake (SNOW) offer more compelling risk and reward. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment flipped to 'bullish' and message volume rose over 1,100% in 24 hours.
- The 'poison pill' ballot measure that could kill the California billionaire tax
California voters are deciding today on Proposition 40, the Billionaire Tax Act, which would impose a one-time 5% tax on the net worth of Californians worth more than $1 billion, affecting the state's roughly 250 billionaires. A recent Public Policy Institute of California poll shows it trailing, with 46% in support and 52% opposed, after a $300 million ad campaign funded by tech billionaires and business groups. Tax experts say Proposition 42, a 'poison pill' measure that would permanently ban new state taxes on personal property and retroactive taxes, could undermine it if it gets more votes, as voters fear for their retirement accounts. Jared Walczak of Walczak Policy Consulting said both Proposition 41 and Proposition 42, created by a political action committee funded by tech executives and billionaires opposed to the tax, could win majority support.
- Anthropic's $100 billion financing gamble
In The Loop host Ejaaz Ahamadeen examines Anthropic's (ANTH.PVT) third-quarter operating loss and compares it with how other hyperscalers finance their AI build-outs. He argues Anthropic lacks other revenue streams like Google or Meta, and that it needs to raise $100 billion in roughly two weeks. He also points to OpenAI's failure to raise $30 billion and Elon Musk's struggle to raise $42 billion for compute, saying market sentiment may be at its lowest since the AI hype began.
- Tesla’s China-Made EV Sales Rise For 12th Straight Month – European Recovery Adds To Momentum
Tesla sold 67,829 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles made at its Shanghai plant in October, up 10.3% year over year, extending China-made sales growth to 12 straight months. Wholesale sales, including domestic deliveries and exports, fell 28.9% from the previous month to their lowest since February, though the first 10 months of 2026 rose 21.4% to 810,889 units. In Europe, October registrations jumped 248% in Sweden, 131% in Norway, 271% in Spain and 94% in Italy, supported by higher fuel prices, government incentives and rising EV demand. Bank of America flagged China as the biggest regulatory risk to the proposed Tesla and SpaceX (SPCX) merger, since Shanghai operations would fall under a major U.S. defense contractor. TSLA is down more than 7% year to date but has gained more than 29% over the past three months.
