Pinnacle Silver & Gold Corp has received an environmental permit from Mexico's environmental ministry SEMARNAT for surface drilling at its past-producing El Potrero gold-silver project in Durango. The permit covers 110 drill sites, is valid for two years, and supports an initial 48-hole program totaling 5,540 metres; because of the area's classification, a full environmental impact assessment (MIA) was required. Baseline data from the application will also support permits for the mine, processing plant, tailings storage, powerline and water supply, with the company targeting a formal production decision in early 2027. A feasibility study for a proposed 3.3-kilometre powerline extension is complete, and Comisión Federal de Electricidad has confirmed sufficient capacity, though environmental and land-use permits are still needed. For water, Mexico's national water authority has confirmed sufficient river water under rules that changed in December 2025, and field work is underway.

- Market One Minute Feature on BNN Bloomberg: Regency Silver Targets Production Restart at Past-Producing Jabali Gold Project in Sonora
Regency Silver Corp. (TSXV: RSMX) is reviewing the addition of the past-producing Jabali Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico, where historical drilling returned 6.91 grams per tonne gold over 63 metres with 94% recoveries, and which sits near the Mulatos and La India mines. The company is moving from explorer to producer through a toll milling approach, against a backdrop of rising capital costs for bringing mines into production. Jabali lies 20 kilometres from the company's Dios Padre Project.
- Axo Metals Drilling Intercepts 48.0 Metres of 1.18 g/t Au From Surface at Recently Discovered Luz del Cobre Target; Additional Results Include 3.94 g/t Au Over 15.0 Metres
Axo Metals (TSXV: AXO) reported results from 33 drillholes, about 3,700 metres, at its San Antonio project in Sonora, Mexico, focused on the newly discovered Luz del Cobre target about 750 metres east of the Sapuchi resource pit. Hole SOSAP-26-069 returned 48.0 metres of 1.18 g/t Au of oxide material from surface, while hole SOSAP-26-083 assayed 3.94 g/t Au over 15.0 metres from 12 metres down the hole. Initial drilling in the gap between Luz del Cobre and Sapuchi has confirmed at least 450 metres of mineralized strike length, and Luz del Cobre sits about 1.8 km from existing plant infrastructure, so the company is evaluating it as an early mining option. Three diamond rigs are operating, with two focused on resource expansion drilling.
- 30 September 2026 Quarterly Activities Report
Barton Gold Holdings (ASX: BGD) completed 38,760m of 'Phase 2' drilling at its Tunkillia Gold Project in South Australia, bringing total drilling over the past 12 months to 57,653m, with several new high-grade assays reported. JORC Mineral Resource updates are pending, targeted for Q4 CY26 for gold and Q1 CY27 for silver, while a pre-feasibility study is targeted for publication by the end of Q1 CY27. Per the Optimised Scoping Study, Tunkillia could produce about 120,000oz of gold and 260,000oz of silver annually, with approximately $1.75 billion operating profit modelled over the first ~27 months at current prices. The Tolmer silver discovery has been extended to a 500m strike length, and the company holds $23.2 million in cash with no debt.
- Could High Grade Apollo Drill Results Change The Bull Case For Collective Mining Stock?
Collective Mining reported new Apollo assays at Guayabales, including high-grade gold, silver, copper and tungsten in the Ramp Zone and Shallow Halo Zone, with several intervals outside the current Mineral Resource block model. The results suggest Apollo's mineralization is more complex and multi-metal than the existing resource shell implies. In its October update on the Shallow Halo Zone, 22 of 23 holes were above the 0.3 g/t AuEq cutoff used for the open pit shell. The company is still loss-making and depends on external funding, so its near-term focus remains resource definition and permitting.
- Slam Exploration drills two holes at Moose Lake project
Slam Exploration has completed two NQ diamond drill holes, ML26-01 and ML26-02, totalling 224.5m at its Moose Lake Gold-Antimony-Silver Project in New Brunswick, Canada. The holes sit beneath earlier trenches containing antimony and cut faulted, brecciated and altered rock with visible stibnite, pyrite and arsenopyrite. The company collected 145 samples, with lab results pending. The work follows 2026 trenching along the Moose Lake Fault Zone, where Skull samples reached antimony grades up to 3.73%, with 1.96g/t gold and 73.5g/t silver. Slam plans further drilling to test continuity and metal zoning, including possible extensions to the southeast.
- How One Silver Miner Is Trying To Turn A Producing Mine Into A Bigger Business
GoGold Resources (TSX:GGD) aims to grow beyond its producing Parral Tailings mine in Chihuahua, Mexico, which extracts material from centuries-old waste left by historical silver and base metal mining. A 2020 study put remaining reserves at 15.4 million tonnes (8.7 million proven, 6.7 million probable). In 2026 the mine produced just under 1.9 million silver-equivalent ounces and around 11,647 ounces of gold, at an all-in sustaining cost of US$22 to US$28 per ounce. Management estimates about four years of reserve life remain, so the company needs new deposits; its Los Ricos South project in Jalisco, Mexico, began construction in June 2026, with a base net present value of US$355 million from a 2025 mineral resource estimate.

- China and Russia are redrawing Arctic trade. Can Europe fight back?
China and Russia have agreed to expand freight traffic along Arctic shipping corridors, boost port-to-port services and deepen cooperation on building polar vessels, shortly after the EU unveiled a new Arctic strategy to counter their growing influence. Analysts say Europe's ability to challenge the partnership is limited, since Moscow controls the Northern Sea Route and Beijing supplies cargo, vessels and industrial capacity. The route could cut Asia–Europe transit to 18 to 22 days, about 35% less than the 28 to 35 days via Suez. Arctic trade still accounts for roughly 0.3% of global shipping, with 37.02 million tonnes transiting the Northern Sea Route in 2025, and Roche estimates it could reach about 1% by 2030. Experts say the EU's leverage lies in expanding icebreaker capacity and maritime surveillance, but that this is not enough to reverse the structural advantages of Moscow and Beijing.
- What a $1,000 Investment in Micron Could Be Worth by the End of 2027
Micron's stock has more than tripled so far in 2026, placing it among the top five best performers in the S&P 500. The author argues the company is shifting toward a more stable chip-supplier model through long-term take-or-pay agreements, with 35% of revenue locked in through 2030. Micron has told investors that 2027 and 2028 will be tougher, but new capacity coming online from mid-2027 to late 2028 is still expected to fall short of rising demand. Wall Street analysts expect revenue to grow 107% in 2027, while the stock trades at 4.8 times fiscal 2027 earnings estimates. The author estimates that if the stock reaches 20 times earnings, a $1,000 investment could exceed $4,000 by the end of 2027, though this depends on whether the market awards a higher valuation.
- From 26/11/2026, depositors at people's credit funds can look up their deposit information
The State Bank of Vietnam has issued Circular No. 55/2026/TT-NHNN, amending Circular No. 18/2025/TT-NHNN on collecting, exploiting, sharing and reporting information for the supervision system of people's credit funds and microfinance institutions. The key change is a new clause 4 in Article 8, which allows depositors at people's credit funds to look up information about their own deposits while keeping personal information confidential. If the lookup results do not match, customers must provide the information to the regional State Bank branch, which will verify and handle it under the law. The circular also clarifies the scope of information shared with the Co-operative Bank of Vietnam and Vietnam Deposit Insurance, and requires recipients to use the data only for its stated purpose. The circular was issued on 12/10/2026 and takes effect from 26/11/2026.
- Is the deposit rate cut just a 'pie in the sky'?
About 26 banks have announced cuts to their listed deposit rates since 18/10, yet a Tien Phong survey on 26/10 found that customers with large deposits were still offered rates well above the listed levels, which are commonly 5-6%/year. One state-owned bank advised 8%/year for a 6-month term while its counter table showed 3%/year, and another bank's app displayed 9.0%/year for 6 months against a listed 5.7%/year. On 21/10/2026, the State Bank of Vietnam asked banks to make genuine cuts to deposit and lending rates, with the average rate on new deposits of 6 months or longer to fall by at least 0.5%/year in the final months of the year. Rong Viet Securities (VDSC) expects deposit rates to fall quickly in the short term but finds deep cuts hard in 2027, since the gap between deposits and credit remains large, although it has narrowed from about 2.8 million billion VND to about 2.35 million billion VND.
- One bank's Q3 profit falls nearly 80%
As of 26 October, Q3 pre-tax profits of Saigonbank, KienlongBank, BAOVIET Bank and PGBank all declined year on year, with Saigonbank's falling nearly 80%. Saigonbank reported Q3 pre-tax profit of VND 17.8 billion and nine-month pre-tax profit of nearly VND 66 billion, down nearly 75%, mainly due to weaker services and foreign exchange trading and sharply higher operating costs. Its loans to customers stood at VND 21,754 billion as of 30/6/2026, slightly lower than at end-2025, while customer deposits fell to VND 25,171 billion. BAOVIET Bank's Q3 pre-tax profit fell 41% to VND 17 billion, KienlongBank's dropped 12.7% and PGBank's fell over 10%, although KienlongBank and PGBank still posted nine-month growth. Positive results in some business lines were not enough to offset the factors weighing on profits.
- US ready to strike Iran within 96 hours if President Trump gives the order
Sources say US forces in the Middle East are ready to launch new military operations against Iran, possibly on a large scale, within 96 hours of receiving orders from President Donald Trump. The operations could go well beyond earlier strikes that targeted radars, launchers and other Iranian assets that could be quickly restored. The target list reportedly includes energy infrastructure, military sites and nuclear facilities, and officials believe an order could come before year-end, most likely after the midterm elections. Intelligence assessments suggest Iran and the Houthis would likely retaliate against US personnel and facilities if Iran is attacked first. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly pushed for new strikes, but US officials have asked him to delay.
