Heliostar, a gold and silver miner with two producing mines in Mexico, is targeting an increase in gold output from 50,000 ounces in 2026 to 500,000 ounces per year by 2030, a tenfold rise. The two operating mines are La Colorada, expected to produce over 20,000 ounces, and San Agustin, expected to produce over 30,000 ounces in 2026. The company is developing five other mines, with Ana Paula in Guerrero, Mexico, the furthest along, targeting about 101,000 ounces per year at an all-in sustaining cost of approximately $1,011 per ounce. The article notes major risks in gold mining, including heavy capital needs, gold prices, and the fact that La Colorada may have only about four years of mine life left when Ana Paula starts producing. A Simply Wall St community investor believes the stock could be 56% undervalued.

- Zacatecas Silver Receives Drill Permit and Finalizes Maiden Drill Program at Oso Negro, Sonora
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.
- Pinnacle Silver and Gold plans drilling at El Potrero after high-grade silver discoveries
CEO Robert Archer of Pinnacle Silver and Gold said the company is working to fast-track its El Potrero project in Durango, Mexico, with the aim of returning it to production. The company has just received a permit for surface drilling in the northern part of the property and is preparing a drill program for newly discovered polymetallic mineralization related to the nearby Topia mine. One new showing assayed over 1100 grams per ton of silver, but the area is not yet road accessible, so the team will carry out detailed mapping and sampling, possibly setting up a small camp, before drilling. Archer said the more extensive permitting process for this drill program has laid a strong foundation for permits for the plant, mine and tailings facility.
- 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.

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.

- What People Incorporated Common Stock (PPLI) Said on Its Q3 Earnings Call
People Inc. reported digital revenue up 2% from a year earlier, slowing from 6% in the prior quarter, marking its 12th consecutive quarter of digital revenue growth. Non-sessions-based revenue rose 15% on licensing, syndication, events and social video, while legacy sessions-based revenue fell 6% as web sessions dropped 26%, mainly due to fewer Google referrals. Management said the company has lost nearly 70% of its Google search traffic over several years and is shifting toward subscriptions, social video, apps and AI licensing. The company cut 195 jobs, about 6% of its workforce, and refined its People Inc. EBITDA outlook to $330 million-$345 million.

- Why Ibotta, Inc. Rallied Over 30% Today
Ibotta shares rallied as much as 32.6% on Tuesday before easing to a 24.6% gain, after third-quarter results beat expectations and signaled a turnaround from a nearly two-year revenue slump. Revenue rose 17.4% to $97.8 million, adjusted EPS climbed 10.7% to $0.62 and adjusted EBITDA rose 43% to $23.8 million, a sharp acceleration from the prior quarter's 3% growth. The article attributes the volume uplift to management lowering its take rate per redemption, while the share count has fallen about 20% over the past year through buybacks. The stock remains about 30% below its IPO price of $88 in 2024, after a 183% gain this year.
- Binance breach puts custody at center of crypto infrastructure trade
The $6.3 billion Binance hack could push investors to place a higher premium on custody providers and the infrastructure that protects digital assets. Binance's leadership moved quickly to contain the fallout and commit its own resources to cover losses; CEO Richard Teng said the company has replenished 98% of the $6.34 billion in affected assets and is still buying outstanding, more illiquid assets. Tether, Circle, Ripple and others froze or restricted about $3 billion in stolen assets, while Coinbase blocked transfers to compromised wallets. The article suggests the next winners may be firms that can prove they can protect assets under extreme pressure, not just those with the most users, volume or assets under custody. Morgan Stanley sees a more consequential shift in separating custody from trading, as investors could move assets to independent custodians while still trading on centralized exchanges.

- 3 Stocks That Did Well the Last Time the Fed Raised Rates Aggressively
The Fed recently raised interest rates for the first time in years, with more hikes possible as inflation stays elevated and the war in Iran shows no sign of ending soon. ExxonMobil rose more than 80% in 2022 while the S&P 500 fell more than 19%, and is up around 50% this year, with a 2.4% dividend yield versus the index’s 1.1%. Merck rose 45% in 2022 and is up around 40% this year, with a dividend yield of about 2.3%. Super Micro Computer soared nearly 87% in 2022 but is up only about 8% this year, amid an auditor’s resignation and its co-founder being charged with smuggling Nvidia chips to China. The author is less convinced Super Micro would repeat that performance if rate hikes continued, stressing that stocks should be reassessed rather than assuming the past will repeat.
