NorthWest Copper (TSX-V: NWST) reported assays from three more drill holes in the Western Zone of its 100%-owned Kwanika project in British Columbia, part of a 2026 program of 43 holes totalling 12,291 metres. Hole K-26-346 intersected 110.0 metres (estimated true width 84.3 metres) grading 0.64% copper and 1.10 g/t gold (1.86% CuEq), including 39.8 metres at 2.53% CuEq and 16.1 metres at 4.37% CuEq. The drilling also found a new mineralized structure above known zones, grading 1.07% CuEq over 30 metres, and extended the current zone 25 metres up-dip. Hole spacing was reduced to about 50 metres to support higher resource classification, and results have now been reported from 14 of the 43 holes.

- Nine Mile Metals hits 7.13% copper equivalent over 11.65 metres at Wedge
Nine Mile Metals (CSE:NINE) reported a high-grade copper-rich lens grading 7.13% copper equivalent over 11.65 metres at its Wedge VMS project in New Brunswick, with gold and silver adding significant value. Drill hole WD-26-18 also intersected 9.93% copper equivalent over 6.70 metres and 10.46% over 4.8 metres, plus a 31.5-metre upper copper stringer zone. Every sample across the 6.7-metre interval graded above 8.4% copper equivalent, with 71 to 136 grams per tonne of silver and 1.16 to 2.4 grams per tonne of gold. The company estimates silver and gold together make up roughly one-third of the in-situ value, and the results extend known mineralization along the eastern edge of the drill pattern. The stringer zone, grading 0.40% copper equivalent, is treated as an exploration target, and borehole electromagnetic surveying and follow-up drilling are planned to test the lens's extent.
- A potential gold and copper discovery with a second coal project approaching revenue generation
Forge Resources is pursuing two projects: the Alotta gold-copper project in Yukon's Dawson Range Gold Belt, and the fully permitted La Estrella coal project in Colombia, which is nearing revenue generation. The 2026 drill program at Alotta totaled 2,792 meters across six holes and pointed to multiple potential porphyry centers over a trend of about four kilometers, with assays still pending. A 3D model built by a porphyry expert suggests two centers, and deeper holes showed denser veining and stronger alteration. Previous campaigns returned 3.4 g/t gold over 45 m and 2 g/t gold over 78 m, and the new results are expected to guide next summer's drilling. In Colombia, the underground ramp has reached operational depth, and CEO PJ Murphy says coal revenue will fund exploration without dilution.
- Endurance Expands Imperial and Lower Imperial Zones with 50 m Step Outs 5.89 gpt Gold and 0.19% Sb over 5.2 Metres & Multiple High-Grade Structures
Endurance Gold Corporation (TSXV: EDG) reported assays from six diamond drill holes at its 100%-owned Reliance Gold Project in British Columbia, which expanded the Imperial and Lower Imperial Zones and identified multiple high-grade structures in the footwall of the Royal Shear. Hole DDH26-140 extended the Imperial Zone 50 m northwest, returning 5.89 gpt gold and 0.19% antimony over 5.2 m. DDH26-137 extended the Lower Imperial Zone 55 m southeast with 2.24 gpt gold over 16.2 m, and also intersected 31.90 gpt gold and 0.30% antimony over 0.5 m. To date the company has completed more than 10,200 m in 25 diamond drill holes at the Eagle, Crown and Imperial Zones, with Crown Zone assays still being finalized.
- North Sky Metals Commences Trading on the TSX Venture Exchange Under Symbol "NSKY"
North Sky Metals Corp. (TSXV: NSKY) has begun trading on the TSX Venture Exchange after several years of systematic copper and gold exploration in British Columbia and Nunavut. Its flagship Natlan Project, covering about 100 km² in west-central British Columbia, has three target areas (Ace, East and West), with Ace a 1.75-kilometre copper-molybdenum-gold-silver porphyry target. Field programs have included more than 3,500 soil samples and 800 rock samples, and the company's permits run through 2030 and 2031. The Jet copper project in Nunavut, about 110 km², provides a second Canadian copper opportunity. North Sky has 62,585,663 common shares outstanding, with approximately 20% held by insiders.
- Goldstorm Metals Discovers Gold-Silver Mineralization over a 407.55-Meter (m) Length in Preliminary Drilling at the Crown Property on Trend with KSM and Treaty Creek Deposits, in British Columbia's Golden Triangle
Goldstorm Metals (TSXV: GSTM) reported assays from the first three drill holes of its recent diamond program on the 100%-owned Crown gold-silver-copper property in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, south of Newmont's Brucejack Mine and Seabridge Gold's KSM Property. Hole OR-26-03 averaged 0.39 g/t gold equivalent (AuEQ) over a 407.55 m mineralized intercept, including 15.0 m at 2.89 g/t AuEQ within 25.5 m at 1.97 g/t AuEQ and 300 m at 0.43 g/t AuEQ. The mineralization, with a strong silver component, sits in highly silicified felsic volcanic rocks, and the company's geologists believe a deeper intrusive source could host a large porphyry system. Results from the remaining four of the seven holes (4,155.5 m in total) and 24 sample shipments are still pending. The company plans an expanded drilling program at Crown next year.
- Kingfisher Completes 2026 Drill Program at HWY 37 Project with 13,551 m Drilled, Golden Triangle
Kingfisher Metals has completed its 2026 diamond drill program at the HWY 37 Project in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, drilling 13,551 m in 24 new holes plus an extension of hole HW-25-011. All nine holes at the Hank porphyry target, roughly 8,070 m in total, intersected the porphyry system or its alteration halo, and the system remains open at depth and along strike. Hole HW-26-028 encountered a 212 m stockwork body of porphyry-style veins, and HW-26-031 showed veins over about 328 m downhole. Six holes in the Upper Hank gold system intersected alteration and epithermal veins at Pits, and regional surface work was also completed. Apart from the partial HW-26-015 result reported earlier, all assays are pending, and the company is planning a roughly 20,000 m drill program for 2027.

- Trump to throw spotlight on overseas crypto abuses at White House event
President Donald Trump is set to highlight his administration's efforts to pursue overseas crypto criminals at a White House cybercrime event on Wednesday, according to an official. U.S. law enforcement has halted about $833 million in crypto tied to overseas scams, and 503 fraudulent crypto websites have been seized under the Homeland Security Task Force. Authorities have also informed almost 9,000 U.S. citizens that they are being victimized. The transnational criminal organizations behind these scams have stolen tens of billions of dollars from Americans, and the Treasury formed a multi-agency Scam Center Strike Force in November. Meanwhile, Trump's personal crypto ties may have become a political liability as the midterm elections approach in a couple of weeks.

- Musk's SpaceX-Tesla Merger Would Create a Bitcoin Treasury Behemoth
Elon Musk said the boards of SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees of independent directors to weigh a merger, while cautioning that a deal is not a certainty. Combined, the two would hold 30,221 BTC, worth roughly $2.5 billion at a Bitcoin price near $83,000, making it one of the largest non-mining corporate Bitcoin treasuries. Tesla reported 11,509 BTC in its latest quarterly filing, while SpaceX disclosed 18,712 BTC in its S-1 ahead of its June IPO, a stash largely invisible to public markets and more than double previous blockchain-tracker estimates. The combined cost basis is around $1 billion, implying an average buy price near $35,000 per coin. A merger would not change Bitcoin itself but would alter governance and accounting, placing the holdings in one public company subject to quarterly disclosures; neither company has signaled plans to buy or sell.

- Chainlink, Cardano, other blockchain groups push SEC for clearer crypto rules
Six major blockchain organizations, including Chainlink Labs, Cardano Foundation, Hedera, Aptos Labs, Ava Labs and Stellar Development Foundation, urged the SEC in a joint letter dated Oct. 20 to formally classify digital commodities as non-securities. They argued that interpretive guidance alone leaves legal uncertainty, and that this classification should be written directly into the proposed Regulation Crypto Assets framework. The letter also asks for clarity on how securities laws apply to secondary-market transactions, as well as on staking and other activities tied to decentralized blockchain networks. The SEC's proposal, introduced in August, drew roughly 140 public comments over 60 days, and the consultation closed on Tuesday.
- Government to submit new resolution on wage policy to Central Committee
Deputy Prime Minister Phạm Thị Thanh Trà said during a group discussion on the afternoon of Oct. 21 on laws covering labor, employment and social insurance that the Government is drafting a proposal to report to the Political Bureau. The proposal is expected to go to the Central Committee at its Fifth Plenum to issue a new resolution on wage and social insurance policy, replacing Resolutions No. 27-NQ/TW and No. 28-NQ/TW. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the current amendment to the Social Insurance Law mainly addresses immediate issues such as expanding coverage, while a more fundamental and comprehensive revision will follow the new resolution. For the Employment Law, the focus is cutting unnecessary licenses and reviewing rules on labor leasing, though simplifying procedures does not mean loosening management. Lawmakers also raised rules on depositing funds in joint-stock commercial banks with state capital, and the Government aims for safety, sustainability and timely payment of benefits.
