President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed a directive ordering the Department of War to keep paying U.S. troops despite the ongoing government shutdown, bypassing Congress after lawmakers failed to reach a funding deal for weeks.

The White House said the move is necessary to protect ‘military readiness’ as the budget standoff stretched into its third week. The order, issued as National Security Presidential Memorandum-8 (NSPM-8), directs the department to use available fiscal year 2026 funds to cover military pay and allowances.

‘The current appropriations lapse presents a serious and unacceptable threat to military readiness and the ability of our Armed Forces to protect and defend our Nation,’ the memo states.

Trump cited his Article II powers as commander-in-chief in issuing the order, which covers active-duty troops and reservists on service orders. The directive instructs officials to use only funds that are legally tied to military pay, in coordination with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

More than one million service members were expected to miss paychecks starting this week if Congress didn’t act. Trump’s move marks a break from past administrations, which often waited for bipartisan deals instead of intervening directly.

Rep. Nick LaLota, R-N.Y., told Fox News Digital that ‘Trump’s mid-month action was welcome news to the military community. But now that same community is anxious about what happens at the end of the month, where mortgages and rents and car payments all become due.’

‘Democrats were wrong to try to use troop pay as leverage to accomplish their political goals. And it would be wrong, it would be just as wrong, for a Republican to hope that that lack of pay would be a catalyst to get Democrats to acquiesce,’ LaLota said. ‘[Trump is] protecting the troops when Congress won’t.’

The Pentagon has not said which specific accounts will be used. Reports from Roll Call and Reuters indicate the administration has identified roughly $8 billion in unobligated defense funds as potential options.

Critics warn the move could face legal challenges under the Antideficiency Act, which bars spending money not appropriated by Congress. But White House officials argue the law permits spending that has a ‘reasonable, logical relationship’ to the purpose of the original funds: in this case, keeping troops paid.

The directive follows Trump’s Oct. 11 order to keep troop payments flowing during the shutdown. The White House’s latest move Wednesday with Congress still in gridlock could shape government shutdowns for generations to come.

The State Department told Fox News that it is aware of reports Wednesday that two American tourists were attacked in a popular European seaside destination that local media and police said left one person dead and another wounded.

The alleged attack happened early Wednesday in Cascais, Portugal, a coastal resort town about 20 miles west of Lisbon. 

Video taken by Reuters showed blood stains on a sidewalk, where a stabbing had taken place during an attempted robbery, according to media reports.

A State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the agency takes seriously its commitment to protect U.S. citizens abroad and stands ready to provide consular assistance. 

‘One of the young men died at the scene and the other suffered injuries to his face and arms and was taken to [a] hospital,’ the Portugal Resident newspaper cited the Lisbon Metropolitan Command police force as saying.

The attack was carried out by three suspects who fled the scene in a vehicle, the newspaper added.

Further details about the incident and the identities of the victims were not immediately available. 

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced federal law enforcement will next set its eyes on San Francisco, commending the FBI’s more than 23,000 violent criminal arrests, which he said is more than double the number arrested in the final year of the Biden administration.

During an Oval Office news conference at the White House, Trump said the FBI has ‘destroyed or severely disrupted’ more than 170 organized criminal enterprises and gangs, 1,600 of the most violent gangs, and confiscated more than 6,000 illegal firearms since he was sworn in.

He added he wants to make every city safe, and his focus has turned to San Francisco.

‘These are great cities that could be fixed,’ the president said. ‘I’m going to be strongly recommending … [we] start looking at San Francisco. I think we can make San Francisco one of our great cities. … It’s a mess, and we have great support in San Francisco. … Every American deserves to live in a community where they’re not afraid of being mugged, murdered, robbed, raped, assaulted, or shot.’

During the news conference, FBI Director Kash Patel announced ‘Operation Summer Heat,’ which the FBI created to target violent criminals, yielded 8,700 arrests of violent offenders in three months.

More than 2,200 guns and 421 kilograms of fentanyl seized during the operation—enough fentanyl to kill 55 million Americans, according to Patel.

To date, he said the FBI has seized 1900 kilograms of fentanyl—enough lethal doses to kill 127 million Americans alone to date.

‘If you look at the past four years of the Biden administration, [there were] 16,000, 17,000, 15,000, 15,000 … arrests year over year of violent felons in this country,’ Patel said. ‘You have 28,600 arrests of violent felons in just seven months alone because of your leadership and the dedication of the men and women at the FBI who want to go out there and do the job they were prevented from doing. … This number is historic by every metric.’

Patel also highlighted the FBI’s efforts to find missing children, claiming 5,400 were located since January.

‘That is a 30% increase year to date over the last administration,’ he said. ‘Violent crimes against children arrests alone are up 10% [and] gang arrests are up 210% in the last seven months alone. … Mr. President, you said we have to go after the worst of the worst. … This is just the beginning.’

LendingTree CEO and founder Doug Lebda died in an all-terrain vehicle accident over the weekend, the online loaning platform said Monday.

In a company announcement, LendingTree confirmed that Lebda unexpectedly died on Sunday and that its leadership “deeply mourns his passing” while extending condolences to the executive’s loved ones.

“Doug was a visionary leader whose relentless drive, innovation and passion transformed the financial services landscape, touching the lives of millions of consumers,” LendingTree’s board of directors said in a statement. “His passion will continue to inspire us as we move forward together.”

Scott Peyree, LendingTree’s chief operating officer and president, has now been appointed CEO effective immediately. And lead independent director Steve Ozonian will also step into Lebda’s role as chairman of the board, the company said.

Shares of Charlotte, North Carolina-based LendingTree fell more than 2% by early afternoon trading on Monday.

Lebda founded LendingTree in 1996 — to “simplify the loan shopping process” after experiencing his own frustrations when getting his first mortgage, LendingTree’s website notes. The platform launched nationally in 1998 and became a public company in 2000. It was later acquired by internet conglomerate IAC/InterActiveCorp, before spinning off on its own again in 2008.

Today, LendingTree’s central online loaning marketplace helps users find and compare loans for mortgages, credit cards, insurance needs and more. LendingTree, Inc. also owns brands across the financial sector — including CompareCards and Value Penguin.

In addition to his multiple-decade career at LendingTree, Lebda also co-founded a financial services platform for children and families called Tykoon in 2010. He previously worked as an auditor and consultant for PriceWaterhouseCoopers.

“All of my ideas come from my own experiences and problems,” Lebda told The Wall Street Journal in a 2012 interview.

It has been a turbulent yet inspiring year for Koreans. A declaration of martial law last winter plunged the nation into uncertainty, but what followed was not chaos – it was the reaffirmation of a people’s unshakable faith in democracy. 

The ‘Revolution of Light,’ culminating in the peaceful election of a new government, reminded the world that the Republic of Korea’s constitutional order rests not on the will of any ruler, but on the collective conscience of its citizens. 

Some observers abroad have mistaken the intensity of Korea’s political transition for fragility or deviation from democratic norms. In truth, such intensity is the very pulse of democracy itself. Our debates are often fierce, our elections passionately contested, yet our institutions endure. That resilience – born of experience, sacrifice, and civic discipline – is Korea’s greatest democratic asset.

Since taking office, President Lee Jae Myung has acted swiftly to reinforce the foundations of democracy at home and to renew the Republic of Korea’s partnership with the United States. In word and deed, President Lee has recognized the vital importance of the ROK-U.S. alliance and strengthened pragmatic cooperation with President Donald Trump, and put our interlocking security and economic objectives, and shared values at the heart of his agenda. 

This approach reflects Korea’s confidence as a mature democracy and responsible global partner. President Lee views the alliance not merely as a legacy of the past, but as a living partnership, adapting to new challenges – from regional security and economic cooperation to advanced future technology.

This vision was clear at their August summit, where the two leaders spoke with candor and mutual respect, underscoring their shared determination to build what they called a ‘Future-Oriented Comprehensive Strategic Alliance.’ President Trump’s remark, ‘We’ve gotten along very well,’ captured the new tone of trust shaping this alliance. 

President Lee and the whole of the Korean government have meticulously ensured that even as we focus on restoring our democratic system, we not flail for one second in our responsibilities as friend and ally.  This makes certain commentaries – portraying Korea’s new leadership as undemocratic, illegitimate or even hostile to religion – so bewildering and saddening. Such claims, often repeated in online forums and even on opinion pages, bear little resemblance to facts and hinder our joint efforts for real solutions. 

Let’s set the record straight: The government of the Republic of Korea was democratically elected. President Lee prevailed in a fair and transparent vote recognized around the world for meeting the highest election standards. Neither Korea’s independent judiciary nor its opposition parties objected to the result. 

Since then, the principles of the rule of law have been scrupulously observed. Ongoing legal proceedings concerning the previous administration’s declaration of martial law and other alleged abuses of power are being conducted by independent prosecutors appointed by the National Assembly – not by the Presidential Office. These legal proceedings demonstrate the rule of law, not the erosion of it.

Equally unfounded are recent claims that the new government is ‘anti-Christian.’ Such narratives appear to arise from ongoing investigations into bribery allegations involving church funds, but for people familiar with Korea, the notion of prejudice is demonstrably absurd.

Christianity, along with Buddhism and other faiths, has played an integral role in Korea’s social and cultural life. Christian missionaries helped establish many of the nation’s leading educational and medical institutions, countless Christians sacrificed their lives for Korea’s independence from Japanese colonial rule. 

Today, a large share of Korean population identifies as Christian, with millions of both Protestants and Catholics contributing to the fabric of Korean society. These individuals, like people of all faiths, continue to play a vital role in civic life, community service and the pursuit of national unity.

President Lee himself is a man of Christian faith. He and his administration have the deepest respect for freedom of religion and expression, which our Constitution enshrines. They, like all Koreans, are unambiguously proud of the legacy of Christianity and believe freedom of religion in the Republic of Korea rivals that of any place in the world.

To portray legitimate, lawful efforts to restore democratic order as a campaign against Christianity is not only misleading, but it undermines Christian legacy and respect for religious freedoms that are central to Korea’s democratic values.

As Koreans committed to democracy, vigorous debate and even disagreement are more than welcomed. It is what the new Korean government strove so vigorously to safeguard these past four months. But mischaracterizing all that has occurred does nothing to advance mutual understanding or produce real solutions for the Koreans and Americans alike.

The Republic of Korea and the United States have sustained our alliance through eight decades of bravery and sacrifice. Today’s challenges require nothing less. Under President Lee’s government, Americans can be assured that they have a friend and partner who shares core values and is committed to the success of both of our nations. 

Look no further than their summit on Aug. 25 where the two leaders ushered in the era of a ‘Future-oriented Comprehensive Strategic Alliance’ – one that looks confidently toward a more secure, democratic and prosperous future for both nations. Korea’s story is not one of uncertainty but of conviction: that a free people, tested by history, can renew both their democracy and their alliance with courage and grace.

President Trump continues to be hailed as a global peacemaker for freeing the Hamas hostages and brokering a ceasefire between Israel and the terrorist group.

By assembling a coalition of countries to stop the two-year-old war, the president melded threats and diplomacy to end – at least for now – the bloody conflict that began with the heinous Hamas massacre of Oct. 7. 

Despite warning signs that Hamas may be unwilling to surrender its weapons, the guns have gone silent and the moving videos of freed hostages embracing their loved ones keep coming. 

Trump has drawn praise from leading Democrats (the Clintons), virtually all the media (which he thanked), and the likes of Jimmy Kimmel, James Carville and Bill Maher.

Then he came home.

Government employees aren’t being paid under the two-week-old shutdown that Trump engineered, in the sense that he refused to seriously negotiate with Democrats worried about the prospect of soaring Obamacare premiums.

The president, as he threatened to do, has cut or frozen almost $28 billion for projects largely based in Democratic-led cities and states, according to a New York Times analysis. That includes giant transportation projects in New York and Chicago.

Trump imposed a new round of layoffs on the Department of Education, targeting the Office of Civil Rights and the Special Education unit – which, following earlier firings, will be down to about six staffers, a 95% reduction since he took office.

He refused to take questions from ‘ABC fake news,’ but called on one of its female reporters, turned to a chuckling JD Vance and said, ‘I just like to watch her talk.’ He then said, ‘Good job. Thank you, darling,’ ignoring what she had asked.

What a stark contrast.

Why is the man capable of such steely leadership abroad insisting on being such a divisive figure at home?

He fervently believes that keeping an iron grip on his MAGA base is how he got elected and crucial to his political health. When Democrats attack his actions, it thrills most of his Republican supporters.

There were also those two horrifying assassination attempts last year.

Trump often complains that he is a victim – of relentlessly unfair media coverage, left-wingers calling him a Nazi and a dictator and lawfare investigations that produced four indictments against him.

As he sees it, he is counterpunching – simple as that. And he definitely has a major point.

Of course, no president has ever ordered the Justice Department to prosecute his political opponents, as with the indictments of James Comey and Letitia James. That shatters any remaining notion of DOJ independence.

Trump even took issue with a glowing Time cover story on the ceasefire – ‘His Triumph’ – because he didn’t like the picture, in which the lighting washed out part of his hair. 

And then there’s the handling of scandals.

One case of blatant partisanship, on both sides, is the Politico disclosure of group chats by Young Republican groups that drip with racist, anti-Semitic and violent content.

In 2,900 pages of leaked documents, the participants – all fervent Trump supporters – described Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people.’ They talked about sending their opponents to the gas chambers that would reflect ‘the Hitler aesthetic,’ where they would be killed. A woman who is New York’s national committee member said: ‘I’m ready to watch people burn now.’

These are mainly not college kids, but party operatives, government staffers and one state senator, who under the rules, must be under the age of 40. Three participants have been ousted from their political jobs.

The national federation, which has 15,000 members, said: ‘we are appalled by the vile and inexcusable language … Such behavior is disgraceful, unbecoming of any Republican.’

I bring this up because of the reaction at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

A White House spokesperson told Politico that ‘Only an activist, left-wing reporter would desperately try to tie President Trump into a story about a random groupchat he has no affiliation with.’ To be sure, this cannot be blamed on the president in any way.

But, it does reflect how fringe views have infiltrated at least a small minority of younger party members.

What’s striking is the way in which the vice president dismissed the ugliness. 

Vance focused instead on Jay Jones, the Democratic candidate for Virginia attorney general, who was revealed to have texted a colleague in the legislature about his fantasies of killing the then-speaker, Todd Gilbert. ‘Two bullets to the head,’ Jones wrote. Chilling.

‘This is far worse than anything said in a college group chat,’ Vance said, ‘and the guy who said it could become the AG of Virginia.’

Trump also weighed in, saying that Jones wanted to see a ‘Republican legislator in Virginia shot in the head and to see his children murdered… pretty amazing.’

Now let me say it is beyond disgustingly pathetic that top Virginia Democrats haven’t pulled their support for Jones, and that he hasn’t been driven out of the race. It’s indefensible.

But it’s also a classic case of whataboutism, with each party’s leaders – there are some exceptions – focusing on the other side’s misconduct. 

Vance went a bit further yesterday, saying, ‘the reality is that kids do stupid things. Especially young boys, they tell edgy, offensive jokes.’ Again, they’re not just boys.

In the Middle East, Trump was trying to bring combatants together. In America, he is the chief combatant, doing whatever it takes to wield and expand his power.

Many politicians strive for unity, if only to win more converts to their side. That has never been Trump’s style, dating back to his days as a real estate developer and then as a candidate. His default setting is to fight.

Right now, Bibi Netanyahu loves Donald Trump. So do those who voted for him in a sweeping election victory. But the president has shown little interest in winning over his detractors.

About Standard Uranium (TSXV: STND,OTC:STTDF)

We find the fuel to power a clean energy future

Standard Uranium is a uranium exploration company and emerging project generator poised for discovery in the world’s richest uranium district. The Company holds interest in over 235,435 acres (95,277 hectares) in the world-class Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. Since its establishment, Standard Uranium has focused on the identification, acquisition, and exploration of Athabasca-style uranium targets with a view to discovery and future development.

Standard Uranium’s Davidson River Project, in the southwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, comprises ten mineral claims over 30,737 hectares. Davidson River is highly prospective for basement-hosted uranium deposits due to its location along trend from recent high-grade uranium discoveries. However, owing to the large project size with multiple targets, it remains broadly under-tested by drilling. Recent intersections of wide, structurally deformed and strongly altered shear zones provide significant confidence in the exploration model and future success is expected.

Standard Uranium’s eastern Athabasca projects comprise over 43,185 hectares of prospective land holdings. The eastern basin projects are highly prospective for unconformity related and/or basement hosted uranium deposits based on historical uranium occurrences, recently identified geophysical anomalies, and location along trend from several high-grade uranium discoveries.

Standard Uranium’s Sun Dog project, in the northwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, is comprised of nine mineral claims over 19,603 hectares. The Sun Dog project is highly prospective for basement and unconformity hosted uranium deposits yet remains largely untested by sufficient drilling despite its location proximal to uranium discoveries in the area.

Terra Clean Energy CORP. (‘ Terra ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) (CSE: TCEC,OTC:TCEFF, OTCQB: TCEFF FSE: C 9O0 is pleased to highlight the rare earth element (‘REE’) potential at its Fraser Lakes B Deposit, confirmed by drilling and assays. The REE component within the deposit and surrounding areas contains significant quantities of rare earth oxides (‘REO’) specifically La₂O₃ (Lanthanum oxide), Ce₂O₃ (Cerium oxide), Yb₂O₃ (Ytterbium oxide), and Y₂O₃ (Yttrium oxide) as reported in the technical report filed under the Company’s profile on sedarplus.ca on February 9, 2023.

These light rare earths are key elements in automotive, batteries, magnets as well as other industries.

Lanthanum has two main uses: as a phosphate binder in medicine to treat high blood phosphate levels in kidney disease patients, and in various industrial applications like manufacturing nickel-metal hydride batteries, catalytic converters, specialty glass, and as a component in alloys for lighters and other products.

Cerium is used in a variety of applications, including as a polishing agent for glass and a catalyst in automotive catalytic converters to reduce emissions. It is also used in metallurgy to improve alloys and steel, and in the production of flints for lighters, incandescent gas mantles, and components for batteries.

Ytterbium is used in a variety of applications, including improving stainless steel, dental alloys, portable x-ray machines, atomic clocks, superconductors, lasers and amplifiers, fiber optic communications, and quantum computing.

Yttrium is used in a variety of applications, most notably as a key component in phosphors for LEDs and displays, and in lasers for medical and industrial uses. It is also used in ceramics, such as those for high-temperature fuel cells and medical implants, as a metallurgical additive for alloys, and in electronics like microwave filters and automotive sensors. Additionally, specific yttrium isotopes have medical applications in cancer therapy and diagnostic imaging.

Please see the link below from the Natural Resources Canada (NRC) website showing the Falcon Point Project in Saskatchewan, Canada which covered the Fraser Lakes B Deposit.  The South Falcon East Project is a portion of this former project.  Through an NRC grant to the University of Saskatchewan in March 2024, The Government of Canada has contributed  to a multiyear study of REE’s in northeastern Saskatchewan.  The Fraser Lakes B Deposit is part of this study and Terra is a participating partner.   REE’s continue to be identified in recent drilling programs.

Key Highlights (Hughes):

  • High-Grade Silver-Gold Intercepts:

    • 509 g/t silver equivalent** (3.30 g/t Au, 252 g/t Ag) over 1.1 m in SUM24-65

    • 406 g/t silver equivalent (2.47 g/t Au, 217 g/t Ag) over 0.9 m in SUM24-66

    • 546 g/t silver equivalent (3.16 g/t Au, 306 g/t Ag) over 0.5 m in SUM23-60

  • Expanded Ruby Vein System: Drilling confirms continuity of high-grade silver-gold mineralization across a broad 600m trend at Ruby.

  • Significant Discovery Potential: Mineralization extends over a 4 km strike length east of the historic Tonopah Mining District, open in all directions, with strong alteration suggesting proximity to a major mineralized structure.

  • Searching for the ‘Main Structure’: Planned drill fences will target the main high-grade structure, building on mineralized veins and extensive hydrothermal alteration observed in drilling to date.

**Silver equivalent is calculated using US$20/oz Ag, US$1,800/oz Au with metallurgical recoveries of Ag – 90%, Au – 95%. AgEq = (Ag grade x Ag recovery)+((Au grade x Au recovery) x (Au price / Ag price)).

Galen McNamara, CEO, stated: ‘Our high-grade intercepts at Red Mountain and expanded mineralization at Hughes position Silver47 as a leader in silver and critical minerals exploration in premier U.S. jurisdictions. With silver’s expected inclusion on the critical minerals list, our 2025 results and planned drilling underscore our commitment to unlocking value for shareholders. We are excited to accelerate our exploration at our U.S. projects in 2026 and beyond.’

Gary R. Thompson, Executive Chairman, stated: ‘It’s exciting times for silver companies with the recent breakout of silver to all time high prices and it feels like we have a new higher base with lots of room to move dramatically higher from here. Silver47 is well positioned to capitalize on this renewed interest in the sector as we advance our wholly owned high-grade silver assets within the USA.’

The Red Mountain Drill Program

The 2025 drill program at the Red Mountain Project, 100 km south of Fairbanks, Alaska, consisted of fifteen drill holes – eight holes at the Dry Creek target (Figure 1) and seven holes were completed at the West Tundra Flats target. The Dry Creek and West Tundra Flat targets together account for an inferred resource of 15.6 Mt at 336 g/t AgEq* for 168.6 million silver equivalent ounces. Drilling at both targets consisted of a series of infill and step-out holes designed to test areas near historical high-grade drill intercepts and modelled domains.

Dry Creek Drilling: Holes DC25-107 and DC25-108 were collared on the northeast extent of the Dry Creek deposit and tested the down-dip extent of VMS mineralization below and offset from hole DC24-106. Hole DC24-106, drilled in 2024, intersected multiple massive sulfide horizons within a significant 24.5 m semi-massive mineralized zone (e.g., 2,939 g/t silver equivalent (249.5 g/t Ag, 14.95 g/t Au, 21.97% Zn, 7.03% Pb and 0.42% Cu) over 2.48 m and 2,235 g/t silver equivalent (225 g/t Ag, 8.08 g/t Au, 21.2% Zn, 6.68% Pb and 0.42% Cu) over 0.91 m, see November 18th, 2024 News Release).

Both holes DC25-107 and DC25-108 intersected multiple horizons of semi-massive with locally massive sulfides (e.g., sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite) within pyritic metavolcanics and metasediments of the Totatlanika Schist. This prospective unit is traced for ~4,500 m along the Dry Creek Deposit where it dips steeply to the north and hosts multiple VMS horizons that locally pinch and swell along strike. Holes are primarily drilled to the south to intersect the lenses at close to true-widths.

The high-grade interval in DC25-108 at 232.9m downhole (654 g/t silver equivalent (79 g/t Ag, 0.40 g/t Au, 8.3% Zn, 4.2% Pb and 0.12% Cu) over 1.3 m, Table 1) is approximately 65 m downdip from the high-grade zone in DC24-106 and demonstrates a strong down-dip extension potential along the VMS horizon in this section of the Dry Creek Deposit. Further drilling is warranted to fully test the down-dip potential in the northeastern part of the Dry Creek deposit.

West Tundra Flat Drilling

Holes WT25-35 to WT25-38 were collared as 150-175 offsets from previously drilled holes in the West Tundra Flat Deposit (e.g., 1,079 g/t silver equivalent (417.4 g/t Ag, 0.74 g/t Au, 9.1% Zn, 4.7% Pb and 0.1% Cu) over 2.9 m in WT24-33, see November 21st, 2024 News Release). All holes except WT25-36 intersected semi-massive to massive sulfide at the targeted horizon (e.g. sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite at the contact between metavolcanics and metasediments of the Totatlanika Schist. The prospective contact is traced for ~800 m along the West Tundra Flat Deposit where it dips moderately to the south.

The VMS-related mineralization intersected in holes WT25-35, WT25-37 and WT25-38 represent 150m to 175m step outs from previously drilled holes. The mineralization intersected in these holes are outside of the current mineral resource estimated and suggest potential to contribute additional inferred tonnes to the block model.

Next Steps

Based on results from drill holes DC25-107 and 108 at Dry Creek and WT25-33 to 39 at West Tundra Flat together with observations from all holes (see October 1st, 2025 News Release) and ongoing geological modelling, multiple mineralized lenses and domains at both deposits remain open along strike and down-dip. Assays are pending from the remaining eight holes at Red Mountain.

The Hughes Drill Program

Over 3,700 m of combined reverse circulation and diamond drilling (RC pre-collars with diamond tails) in seven holes were completed along strike from the significant Ruby discovery, part of the eastern extension of the Tonopah Mining District, near Tonopah Nevada. The purpose of the exploration drill program was to test for mineralization across a 475 m untested gap between the Ruby discovery (e.g., SUM23-59 1,450 g/t silver equivalent* (8.41 g/t Au, 813 g/t Ag) over 3.0 m) and a significant mineralized vein discovered in hole SUM23-60 (392 g/t silver equivalent* (3.04 g/t Au, 147 g/t Ag) over 3.0 m, Figure 1). Program highlights include:

  • Drilling first consisted of a series of four step-out holes (e.g., SUM25-65, 66, 67, and 68, Figure 2) with pierce-points on 50 to 100 m centers from two pad setups. All four holes intersected zones of strong and pervasive epithermal-related argillic and phyllic alteration with local zones of mineralized quartz veining and vein-stockwork. Hole SUM24-65 intersected two mineralized vein zones 50 m apart within a broad >500 m zone of locally intense alteration – 221 g/t silver equivalent (1.22 g/t Au, 130 g/t Ag) over 0.6 m and 509 g/t silver equivalent (3.30 g/t Au, 252 g/t Ag) over 1.1 m (Table 1).

  • A north-south, 450m fence of three holes offset from hole SUM23-60 were drilled through the projected Ruby vein system. These holes were designed to test for potential parallel structures and the up- and down-dip extent of silver-gold mineralization intersected in SUM23-60. RC pre-collars were completed for the three holes (SUM25-69, 70 and 71) and holes SUM24-69 and 71 were completed with diamond tails (Figure 2). Hole SUM25-69, a 130m down-dip step-out from SUM23-60, intersected 190 g/t silver equivalent (1.12 g/t Au, 106 g/t Ag) over 1.8 m including 546 g/t silver equivalent (3.16 g/t Au, 306 g/t Ag) over 0.5 m. This hole intersected multiple broad zones of strong argillic-quartz alteration with polyphase quartz-pyrite veining.

The scale and intensity of the epithermal-related hydrothermal alteration observed in every hole demonstrates the potential scale and complexity of the Ruby system. All holes intersected significant zones of argillic-pyrite alteration punctuated by local zones of strong silicification, quartz-carbonate veins, poly-phase vein stockworks and breccia. The nature of the high-level alteration assemblages and textures may suggest proximity to a stronger mineralized system. Many of the intervals of strong alteration are associated with broad structural zones of faulting with increasing alteration near lithological boundaries. These structural and alteration relationships are observed across all previous holes into the Ruby target (e.g., SUM21-10 and SUM23-59) and suggests the Ruby system is broader and more complex than previously understood. Additional drilling is clearly warranted along this east-west trend as well as stepped back to the north, down-dip to better constrain the lateral and vertical extent of silver-gold mineralization.

Next Steps

Structural and lithological data from the recently completed holes have been integrated into the Ruby vein model. Planning is now underway for a follow-up drill program which will be aimed at further targeting high-grade veins east of the Ruby discovery across the eastern extension of the historic Tonopah Mining District.

Key Projects

Silver King

The 125-hectare Silver King project lies entirely within the Resolution Copper claim block, about 3 km from the main Resolution shaft and 1 km from the historic Magma mine. Discovered in 1875, it produced roughly 6 million ounces of silver between 1875 and 1928 at grades up to 61 ounce per ton (oz/t) silver. Small-scale production in the 1990s returned up to 644 oz/t silver and 0.53 oz/t gold.

Recent sampling by Prismo confirmed strong silver-copper-lead-zinc mineralization, including 619 grams per ton (g/t) silver and 511 g/t silver from the Silver King shaft area, and 757 g/t silver, 1.5 percent copper, 6.7 percent lead, and 11.5 percent zinc from a newly identified polymetallic vein. The assay results for both silver and copper demonstrate the high-grade nature of the system.

Following these recent results, Prismo plans a second-phase drill program totaling approximately 1,000 meters to test new polymetallic and copper-bearing targets as well as a large replacement-style zone. The company has submitted a plan of operations for drilling to the US Forest Service, with additional site permits in progress.

Ripsey Mine

Located 20 km west of Hot Breccia and south of the Ray mine, the Ripsey mine covers 30 hectares of patented claims and hosts a historic gold-silver-copper vein system traced over 400 meters along strike and 160 meters vertically. The property saw limited production in the early 20th century and has never been explored with modern methods.

Sampling by Dr. Craig Gibson returned values up to 15.9 g/t gold and 275 g/t silver over 0.75 meters, confirming strong near-surface mineralization with significant expansion potential. Further surface exploration at Ripsey is planned..

Hot Breccia

The Hot Breccia Project, spanning 1,420 hectares, provides Prismo with large-scale copper-gold optionality in the heart of Arizona’s Copper Belt. The project is located 40 km south of Resolution Copper and 35 km north of the San Manuel-Kalamazoo deposit. It hosts the same productive units as Freeport’s nearby Christmas mine, which historically produced high-grade copper skarn ore.

Historic drilling by Kennecott and Phelps Dodge intersected copper-rich skarn mineralization, including 77 ft of 0.54 percent copper, 60 ft of 1.4 percent copper and 4.65 percent zinc, and 25 ft of 1.73 percent copper. A 2023 ZTEM survey and subsequent AI analysis identified a large conductive anomaly at depth, consistent with a porphyry copper system.

Located near major infrastructure, including highways, power, water and the Hayden smelter, Hot Breccia is Prismo’s largest-scale copper discovery opportunity.

Palos Verdes

The Palos Verdes project provides Prismo with strategic exposure to silver and gold in Mexico’s prolific Panuco-Copala district, where Vizsla Silver (TSXV:VZLA) is advancing a billion-dollar silver resource. Prismo’s concession sits at the northeastern end of the district and is fully surrounded by Vizsla’s ground.

To date, Prismo has drilled approximately 6,052 meters across 33 holes, identifying a near-surface, high-grade ore shoot within the Palos Verdes vein. Results include 102 g/t gold and 3,100 g/t silver (11,520 g/t silver equivalent over 0.5 m), comparable to some of the best intercepts in the district.

Future exploration will focus on deeper drilling and potential extensions of the vein system into adjacent Vizsla concessions, as guided by the joint Prismo-Vizsla technical committee chaired by Dr. Peter Megaw and Dr. Craig Gibson.
