Yukon Metals has identified a porphyry-style hydrothermal system containing copper, gold and molybdenum at the Viper Prospect within its AZ Project, 36km south of Beaver Creek in Yukon. Three drill holes totalling 1,948m all intersected copper-gold-molybdenum mineralisation, with copper up to 1.85% and gold up to 1.97 g/t over 0.6m in hole AZ26-008. Surface QSP alteration, converging magnetic trends and an IP chargeability high extend the prospective corridor east-south-east. The results build on 2025 work, when reconnaissance hole AZ25-004 first indicated porphyry mineralisation about 200m north. CEO Jim Coates said the results define clear targets for the next round of drilling.

- Quimbaya Gold Defines a Copper-Molybdenum Porphyry System at Tahami Center
Quimbaya Gold has reported assay results from the first six drill holes at Tahami Center, part of its Tahami Project in Segovia, Antioquia, Colombia, totaling 2,928 meters. All six intersected a copper-molybdenum porphyry system with geochemically anomalous but sub-economic mineralization; below the oxide zone, they average 0.021% Cu and 31 ppm Mo. Hole TCDH-006 returned 526.95 meters grading 0.041% Cu and 34.1 ppm Mo, including 98.70 meters at 0.062% Cu. The Cu/Mo ratio rises with depth, from 3.6 at 100–200 meters to 26.4. Drilling at Tahami Center will pause so the data can be modelled, while drilling continues at the Tahami South Gold-Silver target and the company plans stream sediment sampling and a magnetic survey to find other near-surface porphyry targets.
- Great Plains Metals plans 1,000-metre copper-gold drill program at Goodrich
Executive director Aiden Bishop of Great Plains Metals Corp. said the company will drill 1,000 metres at Goodrich to test the relationship between its discovery hole (0.47 copper equivalent) and historical drilling. The goal is to determine whether there is more than one pencil porphyry, an elongated gold-copper pipe that typically occurs in clusters, before testing the geometry of the pencils at depth. Historical data show mineralization of about 1.5% copper equivalent from surface, indicating very shallow mineralization with some high-grade holes. The drilling will follow a scissor-like pattern across the width of the deposit, and the results will guide the next program.
- Snowline Gold (TSX:SGD) Draws Attention On Yukon Progress, Is The Stock Too Expensive?
Snowline Gold (TSX:SGD) shares have been volatile following exploration updates at its Yukon projects, rising 6.76% over one day and falling 5.66% over 30 days, though up 14.24% over 90 days and with a three-year total shareholder return above 7x. At CA$14.84, the stock trades on a P/B of 28.3x, well above the Canadian Metals and Mining industry average of 2.4x and the peer group average of 5.4x, even though the company has no revenue and a net loss of CA$70.99m. Analysts' consensus price target is CA$25.00, and the article notes an experienced management team, but suggests the valuation may already reflect much of the Yukon discovery story at a market value of about CA$2.62b.
- Midland Identifies New Gold-Bearing Boulders During the First Phase of Its 2026 Exploration Program on the Caniapisc Au Project
Midland Exploration (TSX-V: MD) reported results from the first phase of its summer 2026 exploration program at the wholly owned Caniapisc Au project (315 exclusive exploration rights covering 159 square kilometres) in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay and Caniapiscau regions. The program identified several new gold-bearing boulders, with a maximum of 15.8 g/t Au; nine selected boulder grab samples exceeded 0.5 g/t Au, five of them above 1.0 g/t Au. The new boulders lie about 2.5 km northeast of the 2025 gold-bearing boulder area, while the Au-Zn-Ag-Mn signature continues in the south of the project. A total of 152 grab samples and 532 soil samples were collected, with B-horizon soil results and results from two later prospecting phases still pending.
- 5 Copper and Precious Metals Stocks Likely to Beat Q3 Estimates
The article says mining companies enter the third-quarter 2026 earnings season with gold, silver and copper prices well above year-ago levels, after gold and silver retreated from earlier record highs. Gold averaged about $4,305 per ounce in the quarter, up 23% year over year, silver averaged $63.22 an ounce, 59% higher, and copper averaged around $6.53 per pound. Zacks projects the Basic Materials sector's earnings to rise 29.1% on 6.2% revenue growth. It names five royalty and mining companies, FreeportMcMoRan (FCX), Franco-Nevada (FNV), Lundin Mining (LUNMF), OR Royalties (OR) and Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM), as likely to beat estimates. For FCX, Q3 copper production was about 830 million pounds and gold production 230,000 ounces, while its consolidated copper sales are estimated near 750 million pounds, and higher input costs, especially fuel and energy, are likely to have partially offset the price gains.
- Gold Hart Copper Acquires Mantocobre Gold-Copper IOCG Asset
On October 15, 2026, Gold Hart Copper (TSXV: HART) announced it has acquired the Mantocobre copper-gold IOCG asset in Chile, covering 4,000 hectares (40 km²) just south of Capstone’s Mantoverde property. The asset lies within Chile’s IOCG Belt and the Atacama Fault System, with visible copper minerals and historic gold and copper workings, including a 145m-long vein. The company says it owns the property 100% with no royalties, acquired it from the government at little cost, and has geologists on site running preliminary geochemical and geophysical surveys. It is also issuing 14,500,000 options exercisable at $0.20 for five years, subject to approvals, which would bring total ESOP to 7.5% of shares with 2.5% still available.

- Jensen Huang: “Two Gigawatts to Us Is Like $80 Billion.” 43 New Gigawatts Coming in 2027
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said two gigawatts of AI capacity, like the ones Nvidia announced in Australia, are worth about $80 billion to the company, up from about $18 billion per gigawatt previously. He attributed the increase to Nvidia now selling far more of each data center, including networking, CPUs, storage and security, not just GPUs. Citing SemiAnalysis's Dylan Patel on the BG2 podcast, Altimeter Capital's Brad Gerstner said 43 gigawatts of new AI compute will come online next year. At about $40 billion per gigawatt, Nvidia would need around 17 gigawatts to reach the $692 billion revenue estimate for fiscal 2028, though Huang said land, power and data center buildings are the main obstacles to the build-out.
- The Investment Case for JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)
Diamond Hill's Large Cap Strategy returned 3.18% net of fees in Q3 2026, outperforming the 2.61% return of the Russell 1000 Value Index, and added JPMorgan Chase as a new holding. The firm said JPMorgan's scale should support continued technology investment that improves efficiency, helping contain expense growth and drive operating leverage. It expects below-average returns across the market due to high equity valuations, though attractive bottom-up opportunities remain. As of October 16, 2026, JPM closed at $339.72, with a $903.04 billion market cap, up 5.43% year-to-date and trading in a 52-week range of $279.10 to $366.50. Hedge fund portfolios holding JPM fell to 113 at the end of Q2 from 131 the previous quarter.
- Deep Hardware-Software Integration Drives Apple’s (AAPL) Underappreciated AI Advantage
Wedgewood Partners’ Q3 2026 letter reports its Composite returned 2.5% in the quarter, ahead of the S&P 500 (2.3%) and Russell 1000 Growth (0.9%) but behind the Russell 1000 Value (2.6%). Rising Treasury yields pressured rate-sensitive stocks, while AI resilience lifted the NASDAQ 100 to record highs. The firm highlights Apple (AAPL), which rallied in the quarter with 16% revenue growth and adjusted EPS growth in the high teens. Wedgewood argues Apple’s R&D spending of over $40 billion over 12 months, comparable to major chip developers combined, supports a long-term AI edge from deep hardware-software integration that the market underestimates. Apple closed at $343.46 on October 16, 2026, up 26.34% year to date.
- Strive buys $335M in Bitcoin, boosting holdings to 36,818 BTC
Bitcoin treasury company Strive bought 4,045 BTC for about $335 million last week, raising its total holdings to 36,818 BTC, according to a Monday SEC filing. The purchases were made between Oct. 12 and 16 at an average price of $82,803 per coin, including fees. That makes Strive the fourth-largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holder, ahead of MARA Holdings, with reserves worth about $3 billion. The company also received about $369 million from warrant exercises and issued 13.7 million common shares, and it priced a $630 million offering of SATS preferred stock carrying a fixed 15% annual dividend, with proceeds that could fund more Bitcoin purchases. ASST shares rose about 7.7% to $25.95 in late-morning trading Monday.
- Rocket Lab Delays Neutron Again. Is the Stock in Trouble?
Rocket Lab (RKLB) shares plunged after the company said the Neutron rocket’s launch would slip to next year, one of several delays, and the stock is down close to 40% over six months. The article notes investors may shift toward Space Exploration Technologies Corp, which went public over the summer. Revenue for the quarter ended June 30 rose 62% year over year to $234 million, backlog grew 137% to just under $2.4 billion, and the company is acquiring Iridium Communications. Neutron, which can handle larger payloads than Electron, is seen as key to future profitability. The author argues the delay alone doesn’t justify selling, though the company is not yet profitable and that could take a long time to change.
