White Gold Corp. (TSXV: WGO) reported initial assays from the first diamond drill holes of its fully funded 2026 exploration program at the White Gold Project in Yukon, Canada, its largest drilling program ever on its flagship deposits. Hole WHTGS26D0219 intersected 1.47 g/t Au over 38.08m, including 5.13 g/t Au over 7.88m, extending the Golden Saddle high-grade core about 50m west at a 300m vertical depth. At VG, holes QV26-026 and QV26-024 extended mineralization down-plunge to 320m across roughly 150m of strike, and bridged a 120m gap to historical hole QV13-011, establishing continuity to about 350m. Assays from 49 more holes are pending. The company's preliminary economic assessment previously reported a C$1.86 billion after-tax NPV, 41% IRR and 1.5-year payback.

- Kirkland Lake Discoveries Reports High-Grade Gold at Mirado and Commences Additional 25,000 m Drill Program
Kirkland Lake Discoveries (TSXV: KLDC) reported new gold assays from its KL South Project, 18 km south of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, including 73.86 g/t Au over 1.00 m and 36.43 g/t Au over 1.45 m at Mirado West, plus further mineralised intersections at Mirado North and South. Following a $20 million financing completed on October 8, 2026, the company has begun a drill program of at least 25,000 m to test extensions at Mirado and selected regional gold targets. Its preliminary interpreted footprint at Mirado spans about 1,300 by 930 m horizontally, compared with roughly 740 by 380 m historically, though these are exploration models rather than mineral resource estimates. Assay results for 23 further drill holes are pending.
- K2 Drills 83.82m of 3.40 g/t Au including 19.81m of 7.51 g/t Au at Dragonfly
K2 Gold (TSX-V: KTO) reported results from the final four holes of the first phase of drilling at the Dragonfly Zone on its 100% owned Mojave Project. Hole DF26-031, drilled from pad DF-M about 94m north of K2's 2020 high-grade intercept, cut 83.82m of 3.40 g/t Au from surface, including 48.77m of 4.98 g/t Au; the hole was abandoned due to difficult drilling conditions. Holes DF26-029 and DF26-030 validated BHP's 1997 results, returning 38.10m of 1.38 g/t Au and 100.58m of 1.01 g/t Au from surface. K2 has completed 42 holes totalling 8,013m in its fully permitted and funded 14,000m program, with 27 holes at Newmont awaiting assays, and all 15 holes reported at Dragonfly have intersected high-grade oxide gold mineralization.
- 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.
- Emperor Reports Additional Drill Results and Continues to Strengthen Conceptual Phase 1 Open-Pit
Emperor Metals Inc. (CSE: AUOZ) reported final assays from seven new drillholes in its 2026 exploration campaign at Duquesne West, a program that added over 28,000 m of new data from more than 20,000 m of new drilling and 8,000 m of historical core resampling. Highlights include DQ26-51, which returned 26.3 m grading 1.0 g/t Au from about 40 m depth, including 6.1 m at 2.0 g/t Au; assays are now reported for 51 of 66 holes, with 15 pending. An additional 3,000 to 5,000 m of diamond drilling is planned after a brief pause, and the company plans overburden stripping and grade-control drilling within a conceptual Phase 1 open pit to support a possible updated Mineral Resource Estimate and PEA. The company has completed about 20,479 m of drilling, above its planned 15,000 m, while remaining within budget, and CEO John Florek said the results strengthen confidence in the conceptual Phase 1 open-pit concept.
- ESGold Surpasses 4,000 Metres Drilled at Montauban, Expanding Drilling Beyond the Historic Mine
ESGold has drilled more than 4,000 metres at its Montauban project near Québec City, completing over 80% of its planned 5,000-metre program as drilling moves south and deeper beyond the historic mine workings. About 4,074 metres have been drilled so far, with hole MM-26-27 reaching roughly 408 metres and hole MM-26-28 underway toward about 600 metres. Core logging has found quartz veins, altered rock and sulphide minerals, which the company views as positive geological signs, but metal grades will only be known once laboratory assays are complete. Nineteen containers of processing equipment are on the water from China, with the remaining equipment due to leave China this week.
- GoldInxs Commences Maiden Drill Program at the Fishpot Project, Testing Multiple Gold-Silver and Copper-Gold Targets
GoldInxs (TSXV: INXS) has started its maiden drill program at the Fishpot Project in Central British Columbia, with hole 26FP001 currently drilling into the Lightening Zone. Targets were built from a 53.4-line km 3D induced polarization survey combined with magnetic, geochemical, geological and Ripplinger Royalties Virtual DRILL EHR data, aiming at epithermal gold-silver and porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization. Phase 1 plans about 2,000 metres of NQ diamond drilling over 8-10 holes, testing the Lightening, Thriller, Believin', Luftballon, Southside and BullsEye zones. The property has only 2 historic holes totalling 378 metres, and earlier surface rock samples returned up to 5.65 g/t gold, 11.35 g/t silver and 0.42% copper, which the company says are not indicative of expected drill grades.

- Elon Musk Will Give Every Kid in America a Share of SpaceX
Elon Musk wrote on X on October 19, 2026 that he will give one SpaceX share to every child in America next year, calling it the first of many. About 72 million Americans are under 18, and Yahoo Finance valued the pledge at $10.5 billion using the October 16 close of $146.03; at Monday's $147.96 close, the value is about $10.65 billion. The announcement has no eligibility rules, delivery mechanism, tax treatment, or timing details, and Musk did not respond to a request for comment. SpaceX (SPCX) rose 1.32% on Monday to a $2.01 trillion market value, while second-quarter revenue of $7.814 billion beat the $6.819 billion consensus even though EPS was -$0.09. The article says the third-quarter report due October 20 will likely matter more to the stock than the pledge.
- Lloyds and Barclays among UK banks named in crypto transfer complaints, advocacy group says
Crypto advocacy group Stand With Crypto says 9,803 people filed 10,092 complaints with UK banks over limits on transfers to crypto platforms during a 90-day period from May to August 2026. Lloyds Banking Group received the most, at 2,297, followed by Barclays with 1,569 and NatWest Group with 1,278. Barclays and HSBC UK cap such transfers at 2,500 British pounds per transaction and 10,000 British pounds over 30 days, while six banks, including Starling Bank, TSB and Chase UK, ban them entirely. Lloyds and Revolut have no published restrictions, though Revolut’s support page says transfers to “some cryptocurrency exchanges” are unsupported, which Stand With Crypto attributes to a technical issue rather than policy. Zumo CEO Nick Jones warns the restrictions could undermine the UK’s crypto hub ambitions and notes that the 2027 regime does not cover access to business bank accounts.
- Why Tesla bull Cathie Wood thinks the stock is headed to $5,000
Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, sets a $4,400 base-case price target for Tesla (TSLA) looking out to 2031, with a $5,000 bull case and a $3,300 bear case, compared with a current share price of $366. The target reflects upbeat assumptions about robotaxis, humanoid robots and Terafab, and Ark now estimates robotaxis will make up about 80% of Tesla’s enterprise value in 2031, down from about 90% in 2029 in its 2024 model. Tesla unveiled its redesigned Roadster at SpaceX’s test site in McGregor, Texas, where the car flipped and jumped over Tesla vehicles; Musk said it can reach 60 mph in under a second and a top speed of 230 mph. Tesla said production will start in 2028, with deposits of $50,000 for the Performance version and $250,000 for the Thrust version. Ark also said a SpaceX-Tesla merger could happen within five years and estimated the combined companies could generate $3.8 trillion in revenue and $2.7 trillion in EBIT by 2031.
- BlackRock CEO Larry Fink Thinks a Data Center Moratorium Could Trigger a Recession. If He's Right, Here's What History Says to Do Next.
Gallup polling shows 71% of Americans oppose AI data centers in their area, with 48% strongly opposed and only 7% strongly supportive. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink warned on CNBC that a data center moratorium could push the U.S. into recession, since much of the economy relies on AI capital expenditure, which could exceed $1 trillion in 2027 and $5 trillion by 2030. The article cites Goldman Sachs research that nearly half of S&P 500 2026 earnings growth stems from AI-related investment, while real GDP grows about 2% a year. Citing Motley Fool research, it notes the S&P 500 gained in half of the recessions since 1980, often recovering before they ended, and concludes that staying invested in a diversified portfolio has historically been the strongest approach.
- Apple Now Trades at Twice Nvidia’s Forward P/E
Apple closed October 19 at $342.94, just below its 52-week high of $348.15, while NVIDIA closed at $217.09, about 11% under its peak of $243.37. The two companies are worth about $5.00 trillion and $5.24 trillion, but Apple trades at 37 times forward earnings versus 18 times for NVIDIA, roughly 2.1 times the multiple. Apple’s June-quarter revenue rose 16.36% against 105.85% for NVIDIA’s latest quarter, and analysts expect NVIDIA’s EPS to rise from 9.3124 this fiscal year to 15.9146 next year. Apple’s iPhone revenue grew 22% to $54.3 billion, but management guided September-quarter growth of 9% to 11% and gross margin pressure from memory costs. The author argues Apple carries more risk because its 37 multiple has more room to contract if growth slows, while NVIDIA’s discount reflects doubts about cloud spending, custom chips and China.
- Morning Minute: Nine Blue Chip Companies Say No to Tokenized Stocks
Nine issuers, including Verizon, Broadcom, UnitedHealth and CoreWeave, have objected to their shares trading on OKXICE, the tokenized stock venue run by OKX and ICE, which had planned to list 63 companies. The nine make up 14% of that planned roster, and the notice does not say why they objected or whether they will be kept off the venue. OKXICE trades around the clock through Uniswap v4 pools on OKX’s XLayer chain, settled in USDC and USDT, but it is not registered with the SEC and is not subject to Regulation NMS, which requires investors to receive the best displayed price. Nasdaq is also opting its own shares out, citing the lack of real-time best prices and consolidated tape reporting. The article says Robinhood, Kraken and Backed Finance are also affected by the objections.
