Seabridge Gold Inc. SA has agreed to acquire a 100% interest in the Slaughterhouse Project in southern Wyoming from Orogen Royalties Inc., including 163 U.S. mining claims and several years of geophysical, geological and sampling data. The purchase requires $300,000 upfront plus milestone payments of up to $2.55 million upon completing specified objectives. Orogen will keep a 2.5% NSR royalty on existing claims, subject to a partial buyback, and a 0.5-1% NSR royalty in a wider area of mutual interest. Seabridge aims to test the region's copper and gold occurrences, which have not undergone modern comprehensive exploration, for hematite IOCG deposits that can also contain critical minerals. The project remains at an early exploration stage, and its commercial potential depends on future exploration results and resource evaluation.

- Lions Bay Resources Agrees to Be Acquired by Metals One to Form South Africa-Focused Gold and Power Business Led by Former CEO of the Nation's Largest Gold Producer
Lions Bay Resources (LBR) has signed a binding term sheet under which Metals One Plc (AIM: MET1; OTCQB: MTOPF) would acquire the LBR interests it does not already own, making LBR a wholly owned subsidiary on completion. The deal replaces a June 30, 2026 structure in which Lions Bay Capital Inc. (TSXV: LBI) would acquire 100% of LBR. It brings LBR's South African gold and power business into Metals One and is intended to provide capital market access for developing the Barbrook Gold Mine, which has a historical gold resource of 2.1 million ounces and an existing processing plant; a phased plan targets initial gold concentrate output within six months. LBR also owns a Newcastle cogeneration plant with a 6 MW steam turbine, independently valued at US$39.6 million. Completion of the Barbrook acquisition awaits final judgment in business rescue court proceedings held on October 12, 2026, and Graham Briggs, former CEO of Harmony Gold, is proposed as Chair of Metals One.
- Northern Star Resources takeover : Gold Fields pushes $38 billion merger plan to institutional shareholders
South Africa-based Gold Fields is taking its $38 billion takeover pursuit of Northern Star Resources directly to Australian institutional investors, hoping they will pressure the board into negotiations after it rejected the offer as “highly opportunistic”. If the deal succeeds, the combined group would be the world's second-biggest gold producer, controlling eight of Australia's 20 biggest gold mines and producing 4.1 million ounces a year. The initial offer was 0.3125 Gold Fields shares plus $7.25 in cash for each Northern Star share, valuing the company at $38.7 billion with a 22 per cent premium. Chairman Michael Chaney says the bid is now below Northern Star's share price, which is more than 10 per cent higher than the day before news of the approach leaked. Activist investor Elliott Investment Management, which holds a 6 per cent stake, is one of the top shareholders Gold Fields is trying to win over.
- Is SSR Mining (TSX:SSRM) Undervalued On Its New Marigold Mine Plan?
SSR Mining released a Technical Report Summary for its Marigold Gold Complex in Nevada, outlining a 20-year production blueprint and long-term mining schedule. The article notes the planned acquisition of Roxmore Resources and an expanded life-of-mine plan at Marigold, while the shares fell 7.21% in one day after a pullback over the past month. Despite this, returns remain strong, with 20.08% over 90 days, 47.65% year to date and a 3-year total shareholder return of 129.43%. The most-followed narrative on the platform puts fair value at CA$59.13 against a last close of CA$43.66, implying about 26% undervaluation under its assumptions. The article flags risks including uncertainty over the Çöpler restart and relatively high all-in sustaining costs at Seabee and Marigold.
- SSR Mining (TSX:SSRM) Stock Still Looks Undervalued After Expansion Deal
SSR Mining's share price has risen 129.4% over the past 3 years, and the company has agreed to acquire Roxmore Resources and its Converse gold project, funded from existing cash. The article says the stock trades on about 11.0x earnings, below the metals and mining sector average of about 14.7x and a peer group level of about 12.8x. Based on its own fair P/E model, it concludes the shares look undervalued. The deal could also change the timing of future production and cash flow for the company.
- Tech giants come knocking for a piece of Anglo American as copper scarcity bites , Wanblad tells FT
Anglo American CEO Duncan Wanblad said the miner has held talks with technology companies that want either long-term offtake agreements or equity stakes to secure metals used in data centres, though no stakes have been taken yet. Comex copper for December delivery fell for a third straight session to about $6.52 a pound after stronger-than-expected US inflation revived the prospect of a Federal Reserve rate hike this month. Anglo's market value stands at $58.0 billion and Teck's at $31.9 billion, which would put the combined Anglo-Teck at just under $90 billion, up from $53 billion when the merger was announced. The merger still awaits final clearance from China, which has asked for a steady flow of copper concentrate to Chinese smelters, while Canada, the EU, the US, Japan, Chile and South Korea have approved it and the companies expect to close by March 2027. Anglo may also shut its Brazilian nickel business if the EU blocks the planned $500 million sale to China's MMG, while the company is seeking about $1 billion for De Beers.
- ProAm Expands Golden Ridge Property to Cover More than 13 Kilometres of a Prospective Gold-Hosting Structural Corridor
ProAm Explorations (CSE: PMX) has staked over 10 square kilometres of additional ground at its Golden Ridge Gold Project in western New Brunswick, extending its land position to more than 13 kilometres along an untested structural corridor. The Kirkland claim group includes a 300-by-100-metre zone of sericite-carbonate alteration similar to that at the Poplar Mountain gold occurrence, plus historical geophysical anomalies yet to be tested. Drawing on a 2023 study that interprets a deep-seated intrusion as a source of mineralizing fluids at Poplar Mountain, ProAm aims to find additional mineralized centres along the crustal-scale Woodstock Fault. The new 1,077-hectare claim, 12691, is contiguous with the existing project. A New Brunswick Government regional airborne survey is expected to be publicly released in October.

- California's Proposition 40: What voters need to know about the billionaire wealth tax
Proposition 40 would authorize a one-time 5% wealth tax on California residents with a net worth above $1 billion, with the vote set for November 3. A September UC Berkeley IGS poll found 45% of likely voters backing it and 42% opposed, while a Mason-Dixon poll for NBC Universal and Telemundo showed a 10% Yes advantage. Prediction markets Kalshi and Polymarket put the odds of passage below 30%. Most revenue would fund state healthcare programs to offset cuts from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act; supporters estimate about $100 billion, while the Hoover Institution estimates $30 billion. Critics warn that billionaires could leave the state, and the nonpartisan fiscal advisor estimates a possible ongoing decrease of less than $1 billion per year in state income tax revenue from billionaires.
- Gix Internet: Quantum X Labs Achieved Key Milestones with NVIDIA CUDA-Q Decoder and IBM Quantum Hardware
Gix Internet, which holds about 13% (2,818,585 shares) of Quantum X Labs (QXL), announced two technology milestones reported by QXL. QXL's quantum error-correction decoder, now running on NVIDIA CUDA-Q, made 12.7% fewer logical errors than the standard PyMatching decoder at code distance 3 and 12.1% fewer at distance 5 on Google's public data, and its streaming decoder showed error rates about 6% and 9% lower at those distances. In a separate test, QXL's QuantumQ Security unit reduced measurement bias on three IBM quantum processors from roughly 11%–15% to below 6%, and cut maximum cumulative error 15- to 21-fold using its LayerQake technology. Gix does not control QXL and has not independently verified the test results, so no benefit to its shareholders is assured.
- Ethereum’s four-minute settlement plan could lower the cost of moving crypto
Ethereum researchers have proposed cutting the wait for transaction finality from about 16 minutes to roughly four minutes, though the draft is unfinished and has no activation date. Faster finality would let transfer services recover and reuse funds sooner; for a service fronting $1 million an hour, the idle money waiting on repayment would fall from about $267,000 to about $67,000. The plan would split validators’ block-selection and finality votes, allowing faster locking-in and an eventual move to quantum-resistant signatures. Many details, such as voting timings and penalties, remain unresolved, and Solana’s Alpenglow upgrade targets about 150 milliseconds.
- Trump Wants Data Centers to Pay a “Dividend” to Their Neighbors
On October 21, 2026, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that big data centers should pay host communities a “dividend” and that he had “mandated” them to make their own electricity. No executive order, rule, dollar amount or enforcement program has been issued, and the posts do not say who pays or who qualifies. Cash offers have not always won local support: developers of a proposed Amazon Web Services campus in Hazle Township, Pennsylvania, offered each resident $10,000, which residents rejected in October. The article says Bloom Energy’s fuel cells would benefit most if on-site power spreads, though its $70.25 billion market value already assumes it wins; GE Vernova’s $176 billion backlog depends less on the policy, since data centers make up only 20% of its contracted gas gigawatts. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission also declined in October to require data centers to bring their own generation.
- Ford Plans to Overtake Toyota in a Critical Business. Here's Why It Matters.
Ford’s certified pre-owned (CPO) sales rose 44% in the third quarter, and the automaker surpassed Toyota’s CPO volume for the first time, while the industry’s CPO sales fell 2.5% through August. Ford launched its dealer-led Ford Blue Advantage program in 2021, and about 70% of its 2,800 U.S. dealerships take part; the article says buyers of certified vehicles return to the brand more than half the time, versus about 30% for non-certified used cars. With Ford discontinuing the Escape and Lincoln Corsair, CPO sales fill a gap in entry-level options, and dealer certificates for each sale act as an incentive that can help lower new-vehicle prices. Ford is on track to exceed its 500,000 CPO sales target for 2027, which the article says would likely take Toyota’s top spot among certified sellers.
- Zadara Achieves NVIDIA AI Cloud Ready Validation and Will Showcase its AI-Optimized Platform at NVIDIA GTC Berlin 2026
Zadara’s full-stack AI cloud platform passed NVIDIA AI Cloud Ready validation for ISV partners, confirming that compute, networking, data platform, storage and GPU management work together as one validated system on NVIDIA hardware, including GB200 NVL72 rack-scale systems. The company says the validation shows its orchestration platform can run production AI workloads at scale, and that it enforces tenant isolation across compute, network and data platform rather than relying on namespace-based isolation. Zadara will showcase the milestone at NVIDIA GTC Berlin 2026, held October 20–22, 2026, in Berlin, Germany.
