- 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.
- Ophir Mobilizes Crews for Surface Exploration at the Breccia Gold Project in Idaho
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.
- Resolution Minerals confirms 500-metre gold zone at Golden Gate North in Idaho
Resolution Minerals (ASX:RML) has confirmed a gold-mineralised zone extending at least 500 metres at Golden Gate North within its Horse Heaven Project in Idaho, US, based on assays from the first three holes of the 2026 program. Notable intervals include 324 metres at 0.49 g/t gold and 322 metres at 0.37 g/t, while a third hole drilled about 500 metres farther north returned 134.2 metres at 0.40 g/t gold. The company says the system remains open and may connect with Golden Gate South about 2 kilometres away, where earlier drilling returned 305.7 metres at 0.64 g/t gold. Resolution is awaiting gold and tungsten assays from more than 32 holes and is planning its 2027 drilling program. The reported intervals are down-hole lengths, with true widths yet to be established.
- NV Gold Confirms and Expands the Awakening and Eastern DeLong Zones at Slumber Project
NV Gold provided an update on its 2026 reverse circulation drilling at the 100%-owned Slumber Gold Project in Nevada, 70 km west-northwest of Winnemucca, with assays received from 10 of 17 completed drillholes and at least 15 more holes planned. Hole SL-46 returned 38 m of 0.78 gpt gold, SL-47 returned 54.9 m of 0.89 gpt, and SL-47A returned 30.5 m of 2.37 gpt, including 1.5 m of 8.62 gpt. Oxidation was observed to depths of up to +225 m, supporting the possibility of cyanide heap leach amenability. CEO John Watson said the mineralization remains open to the southeast and that the company has engaged two diamond core drills for its planned winter campaign.
- Klondike Gold Completes 2026 Drilling, Advances Planned Mineral Resource Estimate Update and Reports Additional Montana Creek Gold Royalties
Klondike Gold (TSXV: KG) has completed its 2026 diamond drilling program, with about 12,446 meters in 60 holes testing extensions of mineralization next to the Lone Star resource, and is advancing an updated NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate targeted for the first half of 2027. Assay results for the 2026 drilling remain outstanding due to high laboratory demand and the need for separate analytical methods for gold and tellurium. Cumulative 2026 royalty receipts from Armstrong Mining's placer operations at Montana Creek total 513.1 ounces of flake gold at about 82% purity through October 15, up 238.6 ounces since August 26, with roughly 440 ounces of 99.99% gold credited and held on account. The company also received $497,000 from exercises of 3,500,000 warrants and stock options through the end of October 2026.

- Marvell to buy Lumentum in all-stock deal, a massive bet on AI connectivity
Marvell said it will acquire optical component maker Lumentum in an all-stock, fixed-ratio deal with an implied enterprise value of $115 billion, aiming to meet growing connectivity demand from AI infrastructure. Each Lumentum share will be exchanged for 4.5 Marvell shares, so the deal's value will move with Marvell's share price, and it is expected to close in the first half of 2028. Chairman and CEO Matt Murphy said AI infrastructure is shifting toward optical connectivity, and the acquisition lets Marvell combine electrical and optical technologies. The move follows Marvell's multibillion-dollar purchase of Celestial AI earlier this year, and comes as its market value has more than tripled over three years. Lumentum's stock has more than doubled in 2026, while Marvell shares fell 3% and Lumentum about 4% before the bell.

- NYT: President Putin thwarts Western attempts to isolate Russia
The New York Times says Russian President Vladimir Putin is defeating Western efforts to isolate him through a rapid series of diplomatic engagements in the Russian capital last week, according to Moscow bureau chief Paul Sonne. The article cites a call with Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, visits by African leaders to Russia, and engagement with the US government as evidence. It contrasts this with weakening US–Ukraine relations, highlighting Ukraine's vulnerability ahead of what is expected to be the worst winter of the war, nearly five years into the conflict. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says the West promotes the idea of “international isolation”, but Russia continues to take an active part in international forums and expand its foreign relations.
- The Midterms Are Tomorrow. Here's What History Says Defense Stocks Do in the 6 Months After a Midterm -- and the 2 I'd Buy First
The 2026 midterm elections are tomorrow, and polls and prediction markets suggest Democrats could control both the House and Senate from January 2027. The author notes that defense stocks under Democrat-controlled Congresses have historically not been as dire as the sector's recent price moves imply, though the iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF (ITA) is 18.4% below its 52-week high. During the period when Democrats held the House, Senate and presidency from 2021 through 2022, ITA gained 22.1%. Program-specific contractors could be vulnerable if spending on items such as the Golden Dome, fighter jets or tanks is delayed, while GE Aerospace and RTX have some buffer from their commercial aerospace exposure. The author argues that selling stocks based on election results is a major mistake, noting that large defense backlogs tied to readiness, rearmament and replenishment are bipartisan.

- AI is breaking the search business model
In the Loop host Ejaaz Ahamadeen argues that AI is undermining the traditional search business as people increasingly ask AI chatbots instead of searching on Google. AI tools lack Google-style search ad revenue and belong to firms such as Anthropic and OpenAI, which affects companies beyond the AI sector. Reddit reported record earnings, yet its shares fell around 26% in early trading because search ad revenue drove less traffic to its site. Reddit is also starting to require account login to access content, fearing AI will replace it as AI models are trained on its data without payment.
