- 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.
- Goldera Identifies Large Gold-Tungsten-Antimony Anomaly at Riley Brook, with Multiple Targets Remaining Open
Goldera Exploration (TSX-V: GERA) reports results from its Q2-2026 soil sampling program at Riley Brook in northern New Brunswick, part of the Acadian Gold Joint Venture, where Goldera holds 65% and acts as operator. The program identified a large 4 km by 2 km gold-tungsten-antimony (arsenic) soil anomaly in the southern part of the property, plus a smaller multi-element anomaly of about 300 metres by 300 metres to the north; both remain open to the survey limits. The anomalies coincide with EM and radiometric signals from a prior airborne HeliTem survey, suggesting a felsic intrusion-related mineral system. Soil sampling has covered only about 30% of the 334.5 km² property, with 1,273 samples collected in 2026, leaving substantial areas to be evaluated.
- 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.

- Bitcoin Dips Below $80,000 Ahead of Fed Decision, Midterms
Bitcoin briefly fell below $80,000, touching about $79,330 before recovering to $80,264, down 2.7% on the week according to CoinGecko. The dip followed a sell-off in tech stocks and caution ahead of the Fed's rate decision, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs seeing $773 million in net outflows on Thursday and Friday. Daniela Hathorn of Capital.com linked the pressure to persistent inflation, high Treasury yields and expectations of further Fed tightening, while Tim Sun of HashKey said outflows and unwinding leveraged positions amplified the decline. Tim Sun sees $75,000 as a key support level if prices fall further, while Stephen Wundke of Algoz says Bitcoin needs to hold $82,000 to support the bull case. Analysts expect volatility to stay elevated ahead of Wednesday's Fed decision and the U.S. midterm elections on November 3.
- Bitcoin's Bear Market Is Over, Galaxy Research Says: 'Now Is an Attractive Time to Buy'
Galaxy's Alex Thorn argues Bitcoin bottomed in June and is now in an accumulation phase, calling it 'an attractive time to buy and hold bitcoin.' Bitcoin has closed five straight weeks above its 50-week average, and its market value never fell below its realized value, a first for any bear market. The latest 53% drawdown was the shallowest on record, versus 77% to 93% in past cycles, and spot Bitcoin ETFs have added 87,000 BTC since the June low. Thorn also points to $40.44 trillion in federal debt and a 10-year Treasury yield that hit 5.31%, its highest since 2007. His warning sign is a weekly close below the 50-week average, currently $76,540, that isn't regained within a month.
- Meta is raising even more cash to fund the AI build-out — as much as $95B
Meta plans to raise as much as $95 billion to keep funding its AI build-out, through several stock sales. The plan includes $35 billion of common and preferred stock and up to $60 billion through an at-the-market share sale program. Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom have together committed to buy $5 billion of the common shares. Shares, which had been trading higher, slipped in pre-market trading, and the hosts noted the spending is already baked into estimates. Investors are questioning when the heavy spending will pay off, with some reports saying Meta's models are not keeping up with rivals.
- Lode Gold Initiates Exploration to Evaluate Upside Potential at Historic High-Grade Mines Within Fremont Gold Mine
Lode Gold Resources (TSXV: LOD) announced on October 26, 2026 that it is starting exploration to assess additional gold potential at its 100%-owned Fremont Gold Mine in Mariposa County, California. The historic mine has seven deposits, four former mines, about 23 kilometres of underground workings and 43,000 metres of historical drilling, but its 2026 resource estimate covers only three of the deposits. The company is expanding its evaluation to all seven deposits and nine additional targets, starting with French Mine, a historical site about two kilometres by truck from Pine Tree-Josephine that reported gold grades of 10.7 g/t Au. Fieldwork and a review of historical records are underway to build a three-dimensional geological model, and CEO Wendy T. Chan said the company believes there could be significant upside at the previously producing mines. Any potential mining development remains subject to further geological, technical and economic assessments.
- Semperis Deepens Microsoft Security Collaboration, Integrating the Lightning Platform with Microsoft Sentinel and Security Copilot
Semperis announced on October 26, 2026 a deeper collaboration with Microsoft, as its Lightning Platform integrates with Microsoft Sentinel and Security Copilot. The integration uses Microsoft-native components such as Azure Functions, Log Analytics tables, KQL and MCP to bring identity context, including attack paths, Tier 0 exposure, posture indicators and hybrid identity telemetry, into Sentinel. Security teams can therefore query and act on identity risk without leaving the Microsoft environment. Semperis has also built custom Security Copilot agents that use KQL over Lightning tables to return risk and posture summaries and identify exposed paths, and these agents can be published on the Microsoft Security Store. The collaboration builds on Semperis' membership in the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association and its designation as a Microsoft Certified Security Software vendor. CEO Mickey Bresman said security teams need identity context within the tools they already use.
