Ophir Metals Corp. has mobilized crews to restart exploration at its Breccia Gold Property, a 52-claim, 1,043-acre (422 ha) land package in Idaho's Blackbird Mining District about 40 km southwest of Salmon. The company is focusing on extending the Breccia Gold Zone north-northwest, where a new mineralized breccia outcrop was found about 800 m from the central zone, possibly a splay off the Meadows Fault Zone. A 2021 sample program collected 16 samples, including one returning 25.2 g/t Au, from breccia outcrops extending at least 200 m. Previously reported surface samples include 84.3 g/t Au and 31.3 g/t Ag on the Meadows Fault Trend, 57.6 g/t Au and 19.6 g/t Ag in the East Breccia Zone, and 16.4 g/t Au and 15.1 g/t Ag on the Musgrove Trend. CSAMT and magnetic surveys show a continuous structural corridor to the northwest, which the company says remains open along strike and at depth.

- Waraba Gold to Acquire 80% of the Tengrela PR-683 Licence, Adding 1,141 Drill Holes and 67,600 m of Drilling Next to Its Tengrela Project in Cote d'Ivoire and Announces Board Changes and RSU Grants
Waraba Gold has signed a binding share sale agreement to acquire 80% of Leo Resources SARL, which holds gold exploration licence PR-683 covering 212.66 km² in northern Côte d'Ivoire, from a subsidiary of Desert Metals (ASX: DM1). On completion, Waraba's combined Tengrela ground would be about 1,000 km², lying between Resolute's Syama mine camp and Perseus's Sissingué mine. The deal is all cash with no Waraba shares issued, with a maximum of A$5.0 million payable in stages; the largest payment, up to A$2.3 million, is due only if the licence is renewed beyond November 2027. Previous operators drilled 1,141 holes totaling about 67,600 m across the licence, including 355 holes at Podio, and SMEX will hold the remaining 20%.
- Rocky Shore Discovers New Bulk-Scale MTH Gold Zone, Reports Record High-Grade Intercept at Mosquito and Expands Drill Program to 20,000 Metres
Rocky Shore Gold has discovered the MTH Zone at its Gold Anchor Project in central Newfoundland, in a previously undrilled area immediately east of the Mosquito Deposit resource limits. The zone is a thick, sulphide-rich tuffaceous sedimentary horizon that remains open in all directions, and drilling has traced it more than 400 metres east of the current resource limits. Confirmation drilling in the Mosquito Deposit returned 94.10m grading 0.77 g/t Au, including 2.50m grading 7.88 g/t Au in hole MH-26-02, the highest-grade interval to date in the deposit. More than 60% of the interpreted intrusion linked to Mosquito remains untested. The company has increased its drill program to 20,000 metres, as CEO Ken Lapierre says the results point to a broader, more complex mineralized system beyond current resource limits.
- New Break Refines Targets as 2026 Drilling Resumes at Its Moray Gold Project
New Break Resources is resuming drilling by Enviro North Exploration at its 100% owned Moray gold project in Ontario, Canada. The property has grown to 29,924 hectares, and gold has risen 131% in Canadian dollar terms, from US$1,770 per ounce in June 2020 to US$4,000 today. The 2025 program discovered the Zavitz gold zone, and the company has since completed 5,372 metres in 32 drillholes in 2026, 30 of them in Zavitz. Hole NBR-25-05 returned 3.17 g/t Au from 72.0 to 115.0 metres, a grade x interval of 136.3. The fall 2026 program is expected to comprise at least 1,500 metres in about four to six drillholes, and New Break has started a hole intended to be the deepest ever drilled on the property, testing for additional stacked gold lenses at depth.

- Onyx Gold Drills 166.0 Meters of 0.7 g/t Gold at Argus Main and Extends Argus Trend to 2.6 Kilometers with New Gold Intercepts at Big Break and JM
Onyx Gold reports assays from 31 additional drill holes at the Argus Gold System and along the Pipestone Fault corridor within its 100%-owned Munro-Croesus Project, 75 km east of Timmins, Ontario. Argus Main hole MC26-343 intersected 0.7 g/t Au over 166.0 m, including 1.6 g/t Au over 21.7 m, and gold has now been identified across an approximately 2.6 km trend. First-pass drilling at Big Break, about 700 m southeast of Argus Main, returned 0.9 g/t Au over 11.0 m in MC26-295, while JM, about 1.2 km southeast, returned 18.8 g/t Au over 2.3 m in MC26-350, including 25.1 g/t Au over 1.2 m. Onyx controls about 8 km of prospective strike, of which about 4 km has been drill tested. Approximately 91% of the 110,000 m program is complete, but results have been released for only 146 of 264 completed holes (55%), with four rigs still active.
- Mayo Lake Minerals Provides Particulars of 2026 Program to Finalize Targeting for 2027 Diamond Drilling Program on the Anderson Gold Trend
Mayo Lake Minerals (CSE: MLKM) is raising up to $700,000 through a private placement, with flow-through funds going to reprocess soil geochemistry to prioritize up to six drill targets and to run 3D magnetic inversion on buried intrusions. Its work on the 86 sq. km. Anderson Gold Trend suggests most prospects are low-grade, bulk-minable Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold Systems (RIRGS), with possible higher-grade epithermal veins nearby. Dawn Gulch and Andy Owl show RIRGS characteristics, while Norman points to epithermal veins. At Andy Owl, a 640m RC program intercepted a gold structure continuous for 50m along strike, with one hole grading 0.9g Au/t over 3.1m. The company aims to select its best gold targets for diamond drilling in spring-summer 2027.

- A $68 million bitcoin bet is targeting a post-midterm election breakout to $90,000
A single wallet bought 800 call contracts on bitcoin with a $90,000 strike expiring November 6 on the decentralized platform Derive, worth about $68 million in face value and the largest open bitcoin position on the exchange. The wallet financed the purchase by selling 400 calls at $100,000 expiring March 2027 and 400 calls at $90,000 expiring October 30, netting about $940,000. Derive's market-implied chance of bitcoin exceeding $100,000 by Christmas rose from 9.7% to 12%, while the implied chance of falling below $70,000 dropped from 15.6% to 11%. Bitcoin was trading near $80,000, roughly flat. Derive remains much smaller than the centralized Deribit, which handles several billions of dollars in volume and open interest every day.
- Chevron Eyes 150% EPS Jump on Oct. 30 — But Are the Risks Already Priced In?
Chevron (CVX) reports third-quarter results on October 30, with shares up 57.27% year to date and analysts forecasting a steep earnings rebound from a weak year-ago quarter. Last quarter, adjusted EPS of $6.06 marked its seventh straight consensus beat, revenue rose 51.4% to $67.20 billion as Brent averaged $104 a barrel, and free cash flow reached $18.10 billion. Downstream posted $4.87 billion versus $737 million a year earlier, and key items to watch include refining margins, Tengizchevroil output that depends on the CPC pipeline, and the 2.67-gigawatt power deal with Microsoft. Analysts' third-quarter EPS estimate rose from $4.0094 to $4.8878 over 90 days, and the stock trades at about 13x full-year consensus EPS. The article notes that after a 45.56% first-quarter beat, shares fell 4.73% within a week, suggesting that cash flow durability once oil prices cool may determine the stock's next move.
