Adyton Resources Corporation (TSXV: ADY) report the discovery of a new high-grade gold zone within the existing resource, from its 2025 infill drill program at the Gameta Gold development Project (50/50 JV), located on Fergusson Island in Papua New Guinea (PNG).

The 2025 program included 4201 meters of largely infill drilling for a total of 36 diamond core holes. Drilling focused on areas within the existing deposit to better define and expand known mineralization. Prior to this drilling, the Gameta Project's Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) contained approximately 4.0 million tonnes (Mt) @ 1.33 g/t Au for 173 koz gold (indicated), and 10.5 Mt @ 1.01 g/t Au for 340 koz gold (inferred), within a conceptual open-pit shell.

Hole GMDH009 returned 28.56 g/t Au over 12.0m starting from 146m downhole. This is the highest-grade intercept ever recorded by Adyton to date and highlights the presence of high-grade zones within the broader deposit. This result, along with other strong intercepts reported in this release, demonstrates the potential to enhance the overall grade of the planned open- pit at Gameta. These higher-grade zones could positively impact the upcoming Feasibility Study being advanced by Adyton and its JV partner EVIH.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Final assays from the 2025 infill drill program highlight the presence of locally high-grade zones at Gameta including the project's best intercept to date of 12m @28.56 g/t Au returning 342 g-m.

Significant intercepts include:

GMDH009 12m @ 28.56g/t Au from 146 m downhole

GMDH008 13m @ 3.84g/t Au from 98 m downhole

GMDH021 16m @ 2.2.07g/t Au from 51 m downhole

GMDH010 6m @ 2.69g/t Au from 114 m downhole

GMDH005 13m @ 1.88g/t Au from 49 m downhole

GMDH013 13m @1.37g/t Au from 105 m downhole

GMDH005 14m @1.05 g/t Au from 94 m downhole

Several holes also intersected near surface mineralization with solid grades including hole GMDH001 with 9m @ 1.08g/t Au and hole GMDH002 6m @ 1.22g/t Au

These infill drill results have exceeded the Company's expectations and are expected to support an updated MRE, with several intersections returning grades above those reflected in the current model. The results may also support the conversion of a significant portion of the inferred resource to the indicated category.

"I am very pleased with these results, which have exceeded our expectations and highlight the strength of the Gameta Project," said Tim Crossley, Adyton CEO. "The project combines solid grades, near surface mineralisation, and favourable logistics, including access for barge transport to support envisioned development and concentrate shipment to end markets. We are now focused on advancing Gameta alongside the Wapolu Project, accelerating toward feasibility and permitting, with the goal of developing Gameta into a second production asset. Our vision for these projects is to unlock near-term cash flow through a disciplined Direct Ship concentrate strategy, while establishing a scalable foundation for long-term growth and value creation across the portfolio."

"We are encouraged by the assay results at Gameta and, together with Adyton, plan to advance the project through MRE finalisation, Feasibility Studies, and permitting. Subject to permitting timelines, we are targeting a potential start of operations in the first half of 2028," said Gary Wang, EVIH CEO.

Bullion Gold Resources Corp.(TSXV: BGD) announce assay results from the first two diamond drill holes (LAN-26-27 and LAN-26-28) of its 2026 drilling program on the Langlade project, located approximately 110 km east of Senneterre, Québec. The results confirm the presence of significant copper, zinc, and silver mineralization.

Simon Britt, president and CEO: "DDH LAN-26-28 successfully confirms the lateral continuity of the Langlade showing, with a 9.5 m interval grading 1.01% copper and 2.42% zinc. These results will enable the technical team to define the geometry of the mineralization and refine the evaluation of in-situ resources. The next DDHs (LAN-26-29 to LAN-26-36) targeted the north-northeast limb of the same structure. Their results are expected in the coming weeks."

Geological Setting and Mineralization

In DDH LAN-26-27, mineralization is primarily hosted in a high-grade metamorphic calc-silicate rock with diopside-garnet (48.2 m to 65.2 m), with sulphides occurring in semi-massive form (15% to 25%).

DDH LAN-26-28 intersected an even more extensive mineralized zone, including a 9.5 metres interval grading 2.31% CuEq. This zone is characterized by very high zinc grades (greater than 2.4%) and copper grades (1.0%). Geological observations indicate 25% to 40% sulphides (Py + Sp + Po + Cp) occurring in clots and semi-massive zones.

FireFox Gold Corp. (TSXV: FFOX)(OTCQB:FFOXF) report additional assay results and observations from the ongoing drill program at the Company's 100%-held Mustajärvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland. In this release, FireFox is reporting results from the Northeast and East Zones, as well as the Mustajärvi West target.

Drill hole 26MJ005 at the Northeast Zone tested for deeper extensions of a high-grade gold zone (first reported in 2021) and intersected 11.0 metres at 4.9 g/t gold from 301.5 metres downhole. The hole also hit several other lower grade intervals, opening the southern and deeper parts of the Northeast Zone for more follow-up drilling.

In step-out drilling at the East Zone, drill hole 26MJ004 extended the zone by 50 metres to the northeast with intercepts such as 3.0 metres at 1.51 g/t gold, 4.3 metres at 1.5 g/t gold, and 3.2 metres at 1.12 g/t gold - all from less than 100 metres depth. The Company added three more holes with narrow lower grade intercepts from grid drilling on the south side of the East Zone.

FireFox drilling has also moved into the gap between the East and Northeast Zones, where two holes have just been logged, sampled, and sent for assay. Company geologists have documented the presence of visible gold at a depth of 112.3 metres in one of these holes (26MJ012). In 26MJ010, the drill encountered semi-massive to massive pyrite mineralized quartz breccia over 6.0 metres beginning immediately below thin glacial overburden. Such quartz-pyrite breccias commonly contain significant gold at the Mustajärvi project. The Company cautions, however, that assays are not yet available for these intervals, so there can be no assurance of significant gold mineralization in these two drill holes.

GoldQuest Mining Corp. (TSXV: GQC) The Dominican Republic's President Luis Abinader ordered on Monday the suspension of any activity related to GoldQuest Mining's gold and copper project, after thousands of people protested over environmental concerns. The Romero Project, in San Juan province, is being developed by Canada's GoldQuest, which said earlier on Monday it recognized the demonstrations and was committed to transparent development. Thousands of people took to the streets to protest on Sunday, walking about 20 kilometers through San Juan to reach the Sabaneta Dam, a key water source that they fear could be threatened by the mine. "When citizens express worries and concerns, our duty is to act with caution and transparency," Abinader said. Exploratory concessions were granted in 2005, but the project has yet to receive a permit for exploitation, he added.

Headwater Gold Inc. (CSE: HWG) (OTCQX: HWAUF)  announce it has acquired the Jupiter Project (“Jupiter” or the “Project”) through claim staking. The Project is a 100%-owned and royalty free district-scale epithermal gold project located on Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) land in Nye County, Nevada.

The Project comprises 352 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 7,000 acres (2,800 hectares) and encompasses a large, well-preserved hydrothermal alteration system within the Walker Lane belt. The Project represents a large, underexplored epithermal system with demonstrated gold mineralization that has not previously been evaluated as a cohesive exploration target.

Caleb Stroup, President and CEO of the Company, states: “Jupiter is exactly the type of opportunity we look for: a large, metal-bearing hydrothermal system in Nevada where previous work demonstrated the presence of gold but failed to recognize the scale and coherence of the system. Historical drilling confirmed the presence of gold mineralization, including 9.1 metres grading 1.1 grams per tonne gold associated with illite alteration, but that work was never followed up in the context of the broader mineral system. By compiling and integrating historical data with modern alteration mapping, geochemistry and structural interpretation, we now see a clear picture of a district-scale epithermal system with multiple structurally controlled targets which are untested at depth. We have secured a dominant land position across the full alteration footprint and have a clear path to systematically advance the Project.”

World Markets

US

U.S. futures are higher, signaling a recovery in equities though renewed tensions in the Middle East threatened to upend a fragile truce after the U.S. and Iran exchanged fire in the Gulf.

On the economic front, investors await the Labor Department’s latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) report for fresh clues about the health of the U.S. labor market. Commentary from Federal Reserve officials Michael Barr and Michelle Bowman are also on the radar. Meanwhile, corporate earnings were set to provide another test of sentiment, with results due from heavyweights such as AMD, KKR, Pfizer and PayPal.

American Airlines Group Inc & United Airlines Holdings Inc: The head of American Airlines' pilots union told members that United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby's merger idea showed the kind of "bold vision" the carrier needs, even as the union stopped short of endorsing a tie-up between the two airlines. In an email to pilots on Monday, seen by Reuters, Allied Pilots Association President Nick Silva said Kirby's vision could be "transformative" for passengers, communities and American Airlines pilots. Silva's message shows how Kirby's rejected proposal has become a new pressure point inside American. APA is not backing a merger, but its president is using the idea to argue that American needs a more ambitious strategy and stronger leadership to close the gap with rivals.

Archer-Daniels-Midland Co: The company raised its forecast for full-year adjusted profit and beat quarterly earnings estimates, citing a strong oilseed processing outlook and the removal of uncertainty that had weighed on results in recent quarters following the U.S. biofuel mandate announcement. ADM posted an adjusted profit of 71 cents per share for the three months ended March 31, compared with analysts' average estimate of 66 cents, according to data compiled by LSEG.

Apple Inc & Intel Corp: The iPhone maker has held exploratory discussions about using Intel and Samsung Electronics to produce the main processors for its devices, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the deliberations. Apple executives have made visits to a Samsung plant under development in Texas and, separately, also held preliminary talks with Intel about enlisting the company's chipmaking services, Bloomberg reported.

Diamondback Energy Inc: The U.S. shale producer raised its annual production forecast on Monday, after beating Wall Street expectations for first-quarter profit on a rally in oil prices. "We believe there is a legitimate supply-demand imbalance and that the associated price signal is the catalyst to begin to grow production," said CEO Kaes Van't Hof. Although Diamondback's operations are based in the U.S., the company benefits from higher commodity prices. Its realized price for each barrel of oil produced came in 3.5% higher at $72.53.

DuPont de Nemours Inc: The industrial materials maker raised its annual forecast for adjusted profit and sales after beating first-quarter earnings estimates, driven by price hikes and gains from the sale of its Kevlar-producing Aramids business. "Our full-year net sales guidance now assumes about 4% organic growth, including about 1% of pricing due to actions taken to fully offset higher input costs related to the Middle East conflict," said Chief Financial Officer Antonella Franzen. DuPont raised its 2026 adjusted earnings forecast to between $2.35 and $2.40 per share, from its previous range of $2.25 to $2.30 per share. It now expects annual net sales of $7.16 billion to $7.26 billion, compared with its prior forecast of $7.08 billion to $7.14 billion.

Lattice Semiconductor Corp: The company will acquire AMI in a $1.65 billion deal, it said on Monday, as the chipmaker looks to expand into the software and artificial intelligence management space. "AMI's expertise in firmware and infrastructure for cloud and AI is a natural extension of our portfolio, deepening our role in system-level security, manageability, and control," said Lattice CEO Ford Tamer. Under the deal, Lattice will acquire AMI for $1 billion in cash and around $650 million in shares. AMI is expected to generate over $200 million in revenue in 2026. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of this year.

Palantir Technologies Inc: The company raised its annual revenue forecast and beat estimates for quarterly results on Monday, a sign of growing demand for its data analytics software from the U.S. government and commercial clients. Palantir's Maven AI system, a command-and-control software platform that analyzes battlefield data and identifies targets, is set to become an official program of record for the Pentagon, locking in long-term use across the U.S. military. The company now expects fiscal 2026 revenue to be between $7.65 billion and $7.66 billion, compared with its prior expectations of $7.18 billion to $7.20 billion.

Paramount Skydance Corp: The company’s pre-tax earnings rose in the first quarter, the company said on Monday, as streamlined operations and improved results in its streaming and studios businesses helped offset declines in television. The results are the first since the media giant struck a $110 billion deal to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, aiming to expand its scale in film and television by tapping into Warner's deep library of movies and series. First-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization were $1.16 billion, up 59% from a year ago, lifted by the Paramount-Skydance merger. For the first quarter, the company reported an adjusted profit of 23 cents per share, compared with estimates of 15 cents.

Williams Companies  Inc: The U.S. pipeline operator surpassed Wall Street expectations for first-quarter profit on Monday, helped by higher service revenue as the company expanded capacity amid increasing demand for natural gas. The Tulsa, Oklahoma-based firm has spent the last year positioning itself as a leading energy provider to companies building out artificial intelligence infrastructure, supplementing its traditional pipeline business with new power-generation capabilities. During the quarter, the company upsized the Power Express project on the Transco pipeline, increasing its capacity to 750 million cubic feet per day, a major expansion of the network to address energy demands from the growing data center market in Virginia. Williams' service revenue rose to $2.21 billion during the first quarter from $2 billion a year earlier, also benefiting from Transco's higher net rates.
