PJX Resources has started its first-ever drilling at the high-priority Gar gold target on its Zinger Property in southeastern British Columbia, following renewal of the property's five-year drilling permit. The program will test a 1,600-metre-long gold-in-soil anomaly, with geological traits similar to Snowline Gold's Valley discovery and Kinross Gold's Fort Knox deposit. Grab samples from surface quartz veins returned gold values of up to 28.84 g/t, and visible gold has been seen in the veins. At the Dewdney Trail Property, about 2,700 metres of a planned 4,000-metre program is complete at Estella Basin; due to deteriorating weather, drilling there was postponed until next year and the drill was moved to Gar. Given the target's size and the approaching winter, the initial Gar program will test only part of its potential.

- Flow Metals Secures Little Gold Creek Headwaters, Completing Strategic Consolidation of Sixtymile Gold District
Flow Metals (CSE: FWM) staked 44 additional quartz claims (the Mila Claims) along the northern part of its Sixtymile Gold Project in western Yukon, completing its 2026 land acquisition campaign. The contiguous land package now covers 17,635 hectares, nearly tripling the original 6,558-hectare footprint. The claims cover a magnetic lineament trending northwest in line with Little Gold Creek, which encapsulates the headwaters of a historic placer gold source, and extend the Project's northern boundary to the Top of the World Highway. The Company interprets epithermal textures and quartz veins found in its 2026 exploration as supporting a younger magmatic-hydrothermal event overprinting an older gold system. It is integrating historical geophysical data and a 3D review of airborne magnetic and CSAMT surveys to evaluate these targets.
- Magna Terra Reports Expansion of Property and Extension of Airborne Geophysical Survey at the Prospect Or's Dream Epithermal Gold Project, New Brunswick
Magna Terra Minerals (TSXV: MTT) has expanded its Prospect Or's Dream project in New Brunswick to 23,887 hectares along more than 30 km of the Moose Lake Fault Zone, near the Bathurst Mining Camp. The project is centred on a 2025 discovery of low-sulphidation epithermal gold-bearing quartz veins along at least a 7.2 km strike of the Donner Trend. Seven claims totalling 5,087 hectares were staked along or near the Moose Lake Fault without option payments or royalties to vendors. The airborne geophysical survey was extended from 1,221 to 1,302 line km to cover the new claims, and prospecting rock grab samples returned gold grades of up to 1.97 g/t. The Province of New Brunswick provided partial funding through its NBJMAP program.
- BTU Commences Initial Drill Program on Hubcap Project Adjacent to RPX in Wawa
BTU Metals (TSX-V: BTU) has begun drilling at its 100%-owned Hubcap property in Wawa, Ontario. The initial program of about 1,200 meters across 5-7 holes aims to test high-priority geophysical and surface targets. The property has numerous surface gold occurrences and shear zones with strong carbonate sericite alteration hosting quartz carbonate zones, and it has been only sporadically explored since the early 1900's before being consolidated by BTU. CEO Paul Wood said the company will provide program updates when available.
- 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.
- 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.
- iMetal Resources Advances Phase 4 Drill Targeting at Gowganda West Gold Project as Shining Tree Camp Activity Accelerates
iMetal Resources is integrating 2025 drilling and historical data at its Gowganda West gold project in Ontario's Shining Tree Camp to refine the geological model before a planned Phase 4 program in Q4 2026. Its largest shareholder, McFarlane Lake Mining, hosted a site visit to compare geology and mineralization with its nearby Juby Gold Project, which hosts 1.07 million ounces Indicated at 0.96 g/t and 5.09 million ounces Inferred at 0.87 g/t. McFarlane's October 2 technical report showed a 61% rise in Inferred resources, including 1.82 Mt at 1.29 g/t in the 826 Zone. Elsewhere in the camp, PTX Metals finished a six-hole, 1,209-metre drill program at Ronda, with assays pending. iMetal cautioned that mineralization on nearby properties does not necessarily indicate mineralization at Gowganda West.

- Gold prices today, Thursday, October 29, 2026: Gold prices hardly budge after Fed holds rates steady
December gold futures opened at $4,081.40 per troy ounce on Thursday, October 29, 2026, up 0.7% from Wednesday's close, but fell to $4,040.50 by 7:04 a.m. ET. Opening prices have ticked higher each day this week, but gold has shown no significant upward move after the Fed held rates steady at its two-day meeting, a decision widely anticipated. Attention now turns to Middle East tensions, energy prices, and whether the Fed will raise rates again after its December meeting. CME Group data shows an 85.6% chance the FOMC will raise rates by 25 basis points before year-end. Compared with a week ago, the opening price is down 1.9%; versus a month ago, down 1.7%; and versus a year ago, up 2.9%.
- Vinamilk to pay over VND 5,200 billion in dividends
Vinamilk (VNM) will set its record date as November 12, 2026 for the first 2026 cash dividend installment, a 25% payout of VND 2,500 per share, with payment scheduled for November 26, 2026. With nearly 2.09 billion shares outstanding, the total payout is estimated at about VND 5,225 billion, mostly flowing to major institutional shareholders. SCIC, the largest shareholder with over 752.4 million shares (36% of charter capital), is expected to receive about VND 1,881 billion, while F&N Dairy Investments, holding 22.29%, would receive about VND 1,165 billion. Vinamilk completed the remaining 2025 dividend in July 2026 at 18.5% (VND 1,850 per share), totaling about VND 3,866 billion. For the first six months of 2026, consolidated post-tax profit reached VND 5,643 billion, up more than 38% year-on-year, and the 2026 AGM approved keeping cash dividends at a minimum of 50% of consolidated post-tax profit.
- Fed holds rates steady: What pressures for Vietnam?
The Fed kept its rate range at 3.75–4% at the October 28 meeting but left open the possibility of a rate hike in December. According to PGS.TS. Nguyễn Văn Phương, the impact would first hit the exchange rate and market expectations, and only then spread to capital flows and domestic interest rates. The most notable pressure is the exchange rate, as year-end USD demand could rise if importers buy early and exporters delay selling foreign currency, although the scale depends on export earnings, remittances and debt obligations. Higher USD yields could raise return requirements for investments in Vietnam, with portfolio flows reacting faster than direct investment. He said cutting VND rates too quickly while the exchange rate is under pressure could erode the benefit, but keeping rates high solely to protect the currency also carries costs.
- Google Admits Its AI Search Makes Less Money Than Regular Search
Google said AI Mode queries are growing faster than ever, but Search revenue rose 12% year over year to $63.35 billion and was nearly flat from the prior quarter, below the $64.85 billion analysts expected. Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler said AI Mode currently monetizes at a lower rate than traditional search, while foreign exchange was the largest drag on Search growth. Google is expanding ads in AI Mode to international markets, though many AI Mode queries are early-stage research that may lead to fewer direct sales. Alphabet reported GAAP EPS of $2.12 versus $3.01 expected, and free cash flow of negative $9.065 billion after $51.355 billion in capital spending. The article says the fourth-quarter report is the key test: if FX eases and AI Mode ads grow while Search growth stays at or below 12%, the positive outlook would likely break down.
- Warren Buffett's $48 Billion American Express Stake Has Been a Huge Winner. The Latest Results Say the Streak Is Far From Over.
As of June 30, Berkshire Hathaway owned 22.5% of American Express's shares outstanding, a stake worth $48 billion as of October 27 and 13.1% of its portfolio, making it the conglomerate's second-largest holding after Apple.

Two-thirds of new card members come from Gen Z and Millennial cohorts, and the company is working with OpenAI on an Amex plugin for Amex Offers and on bringing Resy reservations into ChatGPT.
- Oracle Just Did What Alphabet Couldn’t: Convince Wall Street That AI Spending Pays Off
Oracle shares rose 11% on its October 28, 2026 investor day, while Alphabet fell about 10% in premarket trading on October 29 after third-quarter results, as it kept its 2026 capital spending plan but expects a significant increase in 2027. Oracle targets FY2030 revenue above $225 billion, a non-GAAP operating margin above 40%, and annual free cash flow above $30 billion by FY2029, and its backlog of remaining performance obligations reached $664 billion. Oracle's FY2026 free cash flow was still negative $23.7 billion. Google Cloud revenue reached $30.7 billion, up 103%, but capex rose to $51.4 billion and free cash flow was negative $9.1 billion. The author argues that the market accepts AI spending once a company names when the cash will return.
