Midland Exploration (TSX-V: MD) reported results from the first phase of its summer 2026 exploration program at the wholly owned Caniapisc Au project (315 exclusive exploration rights covering 159 square kilometres) in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay and Caniapiscau regions. The program identified several new gold-bearing boulders, with a maximum of 15.8 g/t Au; nine selected boulder grab samples exceeded 0.5 g/t Au, five of them above 1.0 g/t Au. The new boulders lie about 2.5 km northeast of the 2025 gold-bearing boulder area, while the Au-Zn-Ag-Mn signature continues in the south of the project. A total of 152 grab samples and 532 soil samples were collected, with B-horizon soil results and results from two later prospecting phases still pending.

- Vinland Lithium Commences Fall Ground Exploration Program for Lithium-Cesium-Tungsten Targets
Vinland Lithium (TSXV: VLD) has started a fall exploration program to expand its lithium, cesium, tantalum, tungsten and gold targets at the Killick project in Newfoundland, ahead of future drill testing. A review of its sampling database identified high-priority areas with multiple anomalous tungsten, lithium, cesium and tantalum values, including near the Burgeo Highway, where the Newfoundland government's mapping and sampling program found tungsten up to 0.87% WO3. Fall plans include prospecting follow-up on lithium-rich float up to 1.70% Li2O at Kraken West and South, tungsten prospecting across the Killick land package, and gold and tungsten prospecting and soil sampling along the Gunflap Hills Fault Zone. Follow-up diamond drilling on significant targets is planned for 2027.
- 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.

- VersaBank Initiates Commercial Phase of Tokenized Deposit Program in the United States
VersaBank (TSX and NASDAQ: VBNK) said it has started the commercial phase in the United States for its tokenized deposits, in full compliance with US federal banking regulations. VersaBank USA will issue its Real Bank Tokenized Deposits, branded VUSD™, which are interest-paying, US-dollar deposits eligible for FDIC insurance and expected to be the first tokenized deposits broadly available to consumers and businesses of all sizes. The bank plans to list VUSD™ on major digital asset exchanges as soon as feasible and initially invest in zero risk-weighted US treasury bills, which it expects to support growth of its Structured Receivable Program in the US. The company also aims to offer its tokenized deposit technology to community and regional US banks, and says the technology can freeze, seize and burn deposits used for illegal purposes.
- VersaBank Initiates Commercial Phase of Tokenized Deposit Program in the United States
VersaBank (VBNK) has started the commercial phase of its tokenized deposit program in the United States, stating that it complies with federal banking regulations. The first step is VersaBank USA issuing VUSD, an interest-paying, FDIC insurance-eligible U.S.-dollar tokenized deposit that the bank plans to list on major digital asset exchanges as soon as feasible. Founder and President David Taylor expects a strong shift to tokenized deposits from both conventional deposits and stablecoins, and says the technology can 'freeze, seize and burn' deposits used for illegal purposes. VersaBank initially plans to invest VUSD funds in zero risk-weighted U.S. Treasury bills, which will support growth of its Structured Receivable Program. The company also aims to offer its tokenized deposit technology to thousands of community and regional U.S. banks, and may advance to a commercial phase in Canada when conditions allow.
- 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.

- Russia fires mysterious weapon at Kyiv, shockwaves spread; President Putin appears in rare image, drawing global attention
On the night of 18 Oct, Russia launched a coordinated strike on multiple Ukrainian targets using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and Geran UAVs, focused on Kyiv. According to TST, around 10 ballistic missiles of the Iskander-M, S-400 or KN-23 types may have been used in the first wave; an above-ground metro station on Kyiv's left bank was reported damaged, disrupting rail and metro services, and videos of blue flashes led observers to suspect a new weapon. In western Ukraine, a 330 kV transformer station near Kovel may have been targeted. Meanwhile, Putin, who rarely appears in military uniform, visited a command post and stressed establishing a “security zone” along the border; blogger Yuri Podolyaka argued Moscow no longer treats these areas as bargaining chips. Front-line correspondent Alexander Kots said the part of Donetsk still controlled by Ukraine is just over 2,700 km².
- Semiconductor Sell-Off: 5 Stocks to Buy on the Dip
The article attributes the semiconductor selloff to investor doubts about the durability of AI infrastructure spending, even as cloud companies report strong demand for AI chips. It highlights five stocks: Nvidia (forward P/E just above 13.5 on fiscal 2028 estimates), Broadcom (custom AI chips, with that revenue expected to quadruple to $230 billion over two years; forward P/E of 11), AMD (riding inference and agentic AI demand), Cerebras Systems (high risk-reward; the company claims 30 times the inference speed of GPUs) and TSMC (forward P/E of 18 on 2027 estimates).
- Tom Lee’s Bitmine Adds $30 Million in Ethereum as Buying Nears Its Finish Line
Bitmine bought another 12,535 ETH (about $30 million), lifting its holdings to 6,041,481 ETH, or 4.9% of supply and 99% of its 5% target. Chairman Tom Lee blamed the crypto selloff on a broad risk-off shift, including AI funding and safety worries, U.S.-Iran tensions, midterm jitters and rising bond yields, and called the dip a historically attractive risk-reward entry. Total holdings reached $15.1 billion as of Oct. 18, including 215 Bitcoin, $582 million in cash and marketable securities, and other investments. About 84% of its ETH (5,067,309 tokens) is staked via its MAVAN platform, with projected annualized revenue of roughly $309 million. The position is currently underwater on paper because much of it was bought at higher prices.
- Opinion: The Most Important Number in Taiwan Semiconductor's Earnings Report Was 68%
The author argues the most important figure in TSMC's Q3 report is 68%, the share of revenue from high-performance computing (HPC), which grew 22% from the prior quarter. Revenue reached $46.72 billion, up 41.2% year over year, net income rose 68.7%, and gross margin hit 66.4%. Processes at 7nm and below made up 79% of wafer revenue, with 3nm at 33% and 2nm at 8%. TSMC guided Q4 revenue to $52.3–54.3 billion and expects roughly 44% full-year growth in U.S. dollars. The author remains bullish, saying ongoing demand for advanced AI chips should keep profits rising.
- Why Meta's Q3 earnings could be a little hard to interpret
Meta is reporting its third-quarter earnings after the market closes Wednesday, and Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi says the report will be hard to interpret. Recent good news on Meta's AI products, including new models and an AI agent, may not appear directly in the results but will likely be discussed on the earnings call. The key uncertainty is how investors will react if Meta raises its capex outlook again: it could be seen as fueling those products, or as overspending on offerings not yet reflected in financials. Sozzi expects the market to give Meta the benefit of the doubt on higher capex, as long as the increase does not shock investors.
