Zacatecas Silver (TSXV: ZAC) has received the drill permit from SEMARNAT for its Oso Negro gold-silver concession in Sonora, Mexico, completing the final regulatory requirement before drilling. The company has finalized a 2,500-metre maiden diamond drill program across the Prospecto and Tere vein systems, collared from 20 pads with shallow angled holes designed to intersect veins 40 to 80 vertical metres below high-grade rock chip outcrops. The project lies entirely on private land, where surface access is secured under an initial one-year term that is renewable. Rock chip sampling across more than 3 kilometres of mapped vein strike returned assays up to 20.3 g/t gold and 3,480 g/t silver from 510 samples.

- Pinnacle Silver and Gold secures drilling permit for El Potrero project in Mexico
Pinnacle Silver & Gold Corp has received an environmental permit from Mexico's environmental ministry SEMARNAT for surface drilling at its past-producing El Potrero gold-silver project in Durango. The permit covers 110 drill sites, is valid for two years, and supports an initial 48-hole program totaling 5,540 metres; because of the area's classification, a full environmental impact assessment (MIA) was required. Baseline data from the application will also support permits for the mine, processing plant, tailings storage, powerline and water supply, with the company targeting a formal production decision in early 2027. A feasibility study for a proposed 3.3-kilometre powerline extension is complete, and Comisión Federal de Electricidad has confirmed sufficient capacity, though environmental and land-use permits are still needed. For water, Mexico's national water authority has confirmed sufficient river water under rules that changed in December 2025, and field work is underway.
- Luca Intersects 19 Metres of 6.3 g/t Gold Equivalent from the Creston Vein at Tahuehueto Mine
Luca Mining (TSXV: LUCA) reported new assay results from its 2026 exploration drilling at the Tahuehueto gold-silver mine in Durango, Mexico. The standout hole, TRT26-15, cut 18.7 metres of 6.28 g/t gold equivalent in the Creston Vein, wider and higher-grade than the resource model anticipated. The intersection sits near existing underground infrastructure and within an area scheduled for mining in the first half of 2027, and could add high-grade mill feed in the near term. Drilling at the Catorce and Santiago veins also returned high-grade intervals, including 13.7 metres of 3.33 g/t AuEq at Catorce and 11.6 metres of 5.21 g/t AuEq at Santiago, supporting potential resource expansion near the mine.
- Barksdale Commences Updated PEA for San Javier Copper-Gold Project, Adding Gold for the First Time and Current Consensus Metal Pricing
Barksdale Resources (TSXV: BRO) has commenced an update to the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its 100%-owned San Javier copper-gold project in Sonora, Mexico. The 2024 PEA assumed a copper-only heap leach operation at US$4.00/lb copper; the update adds metallurgical testing to assess gold and copper recovery and will replace that price deck with current consensus prices for both metals. In 2026, the company assayed 187 drill core reject samples from five holes drilled in 2007, with four of the five holes returning positive gold results, including 9.0 metres of 3.464 g/t Au in SJ07-64. The 250,000 to 400,000 ounces of gold cited in the 2024 PEA are conceptual, as no gold Mineral Resource has been defined. The update is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2027.
- Market One Minute Feature on BNN Bloomberg: Regency Silver Targets Production Restart at Past-Producing Jabali Gold Project in Sonora
Regency Silver Corp. (TSXV: RSMX) is reviewing the addition of the past-producing Jabali Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico, where historical drilling returned 6.91 grams per tonne gold over 63 metres with 94% recoveries, and which sits near the Mulatos and La India mines. The company is moving from explorer to producer through a toll milling approach, against a backdrop of rising capital costs for bringing mines into production. Jabali lies 20 kilometres from the company's Dios Padre Project.
- 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.
- Canstar Resources Reports 1.8 m Grading 6.1% Zinc, 106 g/t Silver and 2.0 g/t Gold at Mary March; Mobilizes for Fall Drilling
Canstar Resources (TSXV: ROX) reported additional assays from its 2,756 m summer 2026 drill program at the Mary March project in Newfoundland, with hole MM-26-44 returning 1.8 m grading 6.13% zinc, 106.3 g/t silver, 2.00 g/t gold, 2.53% lead and 0.75% copper (6.0% CuEq). Hole MM-26-43 also returned 1.8 m grading 4.1% CuEq, about 28 m below the rhyolite contact. Modelled off-hole conductors extending down-dip along that contact may reflect additional sulphide mineralization in untested ground. A fall program of about 2,250 m, funded by earn-in partner VMS Mining Corporation (VMSC), will test these areas, with the drill crew and rig mobilizing this week.

- Gold prices today, Thursday, October 29, 2026: Gold prices hardly budge after Fed holds rates steady
December gold futures opened at $4,081.40 per troy ounce on Thursday, October 29, 2026, up 0.7% from Wednesday's close, but fell to $4,040.50 by 7:04 a.m. ET. Opening prices have ticked higher each day this week, but gold has shown no significant upward move after the Fed held rates steady at its two-day meeting, a decision widely anticipated. Attention now turns to Middle East tensions, energy prices, and whether the Fed will raise rates again after its December meeting. CME Group data shows an 85.6% chance the FOMC will raise rates by 25 basis points before year-end. Compared with a week ago, the opening price is down 1.9%; versus a month ago, down 1.7%; and versus a year ago, up 2.9%.
- Vinamilk to pay over VND 5,200 billion in dividends
Vinamilk (VNM) will set its record date as November 12, 2026 for the first 2026 cash dividend installment, a 25% payout of VND 2,500 per share, with payment scheduled for November 26, 2026. With nearly 2.09 billion shares outstanding, the total payout is estimated at about VND 5,225 billion, mostly flowing to major institutional shareholders. SCIC, the largest shareholder with over 752.4 million shares (36% of charter capital), is expected to receive about VND 1,881 billion, while F&N Dairy Investments, holding 22.29%, would receive about VND 1,165 billion. Vinamilk completed the remaining 2025 dividend in July 2026 at 18.5% (VND 1,850 per share), totaling about VND 3,866 billion. For the first six months of 2026, consolidated post-tax profit reached VND 5,643 billion, up more than 38% year-on-year, and the 2026 AGM approved keeping cash dividends at a minimum of 50% of consolidated post-tax profit.
- Fed holds rates steady: What pressures for Vietnam?
The Fed kept its rate range at 3.75–4% at the October 28 meeting but left open the possibility of a rate hike in December. According to PGS.TS. Nguyễn Văn Phương, the impact would first hit the exchange rate and market expectations, and only then spread to capital flows and domestic interest rates. The most notable pressure is the exchange rate, as year-end USD demand could rise if importers buy early and exporters delay selling foreign currency, although the scale depends on export earnings, remittances and debt obligations. Higher USD yields could raise return requirements for investments in Vietnam, with portfolio flows reacting faster than direct investment. He said cutting VND rates too quickly while the exchange rate is under pressure could erode the benefit, but keeping rates high solely to protect the currency also carries costs.
- Google Admits Its AI Search Makes Less Money Than Regular Search
Google said AI Mode queries are growing faster than ever, but Search revenue rose 12% year over year to $63.35 billion and was nearly flat from the prior quarter, below the $64.85 billion analysts expected. Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler said AI Mode currently monetizes at a lower rate than traditional search, while foreign exchange was the largest drag on Search growth. Google is expanding ads in AI Mode to international markets, though many AI Mode queries are early-stage research that may lead to fewer direct sales. Alphabet reported GAAP EPS of $2.12 versus $3.01 expected, and free cash flow of negative $9.065 billion after $51.355 billion in capital spending. The article says the fourth-quarter report is the key test: if FX eases and AI Mode ads grow while Search growth stays at or below 12%, the positive outlook would likely break down.

- Oracle Just Did What Alphabet Couldn’t: Convince Wall Street That AI Spending Pays Off
Oracle shares rose 11% on its October 28, 2026 investor day, while Alphabet fell about 10% in premarket trading on October 29 after third-quarter results, as it kept its 2026 capital spending plan but expects a significant increase in 2027. Oracle targets FY2030 revenue above $225 billion, a non-GAAP operating margin above 40%, and annual free cash flow above $30 billion by FY2029, and its backlog of remaining performance obligations reached $664 billion. Oracle's FY2026 free cash flow was still negative $23.7 billion. Google Cloud revenue reached $30.7 billion, up 103%, but capex rose to $51.4 billion and free cash flow was negative $9.1 billion. The author argues that the market accepts AI spending once a company names when the cash will return.
