Corcel Exploration Inc. (CSE: CRCL) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Corcel’) today announced plans for Phase 1 of its maiden drill program and additional surface exploration activities on its 100%-owned Yuma King Project (‘Yuma King’ or the ‘Project’) in west-central Arizona. The Phase 1 drill program will consist of an initial 2000 m of diamond drilling, targeting copper (Cu gold (Au) skarn and porphyry style mineralization around the historical Yuma King Mine area. In addition to drilling, the Company plans to conduct an Induced Polarization (IP) survey over the newly recognized Three Musketeers and Yuma King West skarn and porphyry Cu-Au targets to test for anomalies under structural cover and guide additional targeting on the Project.

Yuma King Exploration Program 2025

  • A Phase 1 diamond drill program consisting of approximately 2,000 metres is planned for winter 2025 and will focus on key targets in and around the Yuma King Mine, identified by recent drone magnetic and geochemical surveys.

  • Drilling is designed to test extensions to Cu-Au mineralization near the Yuma King Mine area.

  • 8.5-line kilometres of new IP surveying across Three Musketeers, Yuma King West, and Yuma King Mine to outline new porphyry-skarn Cu-Au and Au drill targets.

  • Hyperspectral and geological mapping to refine target concepts and footprints.

Drill Targets at Yuma King Mine

The objectives for the 2025 drill program at the project are to confirm historic drill results, expand along strike and down dip the Cu-Au mineralization at the Yuma King Mine and to identify areas of new high-grade Cu-Au mineralization. Initial drilling on the Yuma King Mine zone is designed to test the skarn/replacement and porphyry mineralization as the system remains open in multiple directions and at depth.

Highlights from the historical drilling at the Yuma King Mine include intersections of 0.78% Cu, 0.53 g/t Au, and 6.3 g/t Ag over 45.4m in Cu-Au skarn. The upcoming drilling will step out from known mineralization and aim to expand mineralized zones along strike and down dip.

The Phase 1 drill program is expected to be comprised of approximately 2,000 metres of core drilling over eight to ten drill holes. The drilling will focus on extensions to known Cu-Au skarn and porphyry mineralization, and it is expected that feedback from visual and XRF data will enable the Company to optimize and re-prioritize planned drill holes as the program progresses. Additional geophysical, surface geological, and hyperspectral data may also upgrade the priority of targets during the course of the Phase 1 program.

The upcoming 2025 Yuma King drill program marks a pivotal step for Corcel as we look to unlock the Yuma King copper-gold system,’ commented CEO, Jon Ward. ‘Our recent geophysical and geochemical work has outlined multiple high-priority targets surrounding the historic mine area, where skarn and porphyry-style mineralization remain open along strike and at depth. With drill targeting supported by strong magnetic anomalies, soil results, and high-grade rock samples, we are positioned to rapidly confirm historic grades, expand known zones, and test new targets. This will be the most technically informed drill program ever undertaken at Yuma King, as we continue to advance the project and unlock value for shareholders.’

IP Survey at Yuma King West, Three Musketeers, and Yuma King Mine

The IP survey to be completed during Phase 1 is designed to collect high resolution data over the Three Musketeers, Yuma King West, and Yuma King Mine target areas. The IP survey lines will transect the exposed alteration-mineralization zones and prospective areas under thin structural cover and will image the subsurface to a depth of ~400 metres. The IP survey is an important tool in these areas, where there is no historical drilling, as it can image sulfide mineralization at depth.

In addition to the IP geophysical survey and drilling, 2025 exploration activities will include a remote sensing hyperspectral alteration survey and further geologic mapping and surface geochemical sampling.

The Phase 1 IP survey and surface results will be combined with recently collected historical data on the project, including results from Corcel’s soil sampling, rock chip sampling, and drone magnetic survey, to prioritize targets for a Phase 2 drill program which will encompass areas on the property that have not been tested with drilling.

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.

The Company also announces that it has drilled multiple new silver-gold veins east of the Ruby discovery in the Tonopah Mining District, Hughes Project, Nevada.

Key Highlights (Red Mountain):

  • High-Grade Step-Outs at West Tundra Flat:

    • 640 g/t silver equivalent* over 6.9 m (136 g/t Ag, 0.56 g/t Au, 7.06% Zn, 1.99% Pb and 0.16% Cu, including 1,341 g/t silver equivalent over 3.05 m (305 g/t Ag, 1.23 g/t Au, 15.61% Zn, 4.45% Pb and 0.35% Cu) in a 165 m step-out in WT25-38.

    • 736 g/t silver equivalent over 3.0 m (249 g/t Ag, 0.69 g/t Au, 6.16% Zn, 3.43% Pb and 0.12% Cu) in a 165 m step-out in WT25-37.

  • Broad Mineralization at Dry Creek:

    • 344 g/t silver equivalent over 12.8 m (13 g/t Ag, 0.01 g/t Au, 4.93% Zn, 2.22% Pb and 0.17% Cu), including 646 g/t silver equivalent over 1.3 m (335 g/t Ag, 0.71 g/t Au, 3.9% Zn, 1.4% Pb and 0.13% Cu) in DC25-108.

  • Resource Expansion: The 2025 summer program targeted untested areas near historical high-grade intercepts to enhance Red Mountain’s inferred 168.6 million silver equivalent ounce resource (336 g/t AgEq*) at Dry Creek and West Tundra Flat.

  • Significant Growth Potential: Both the West Tundra Flat and Dry Creek deposits remain open along strike and down-dip, with systematic drilling planned to delineate full scale.

  • Assays Pending: Results for 8 additional holes from the 2025 program are pending and expected to further enhance results.

*Notes: g/t=grams per tonne; AgEq=silver equivalent; ZnEq=zinc equivalent; m=metres; Ag=silver; ‎Au=gold; Cu=copper; Zn=zinc; Pb=lead; 1ppm=1 g/t. Equivalencies are calculated using ratios with metal prices of US$2,750/tonne Zn, US$2,100/tonne Pb, US$8,880/tonne Cu, US$1,850/oz Au, and US$23/oz Ag and metal recoveries are based on metallurgical work returned of 90% Zn, 75% Pb, 70% Cu, 70% Ag, and 80% Au. Silver Equivalent (AgEq g/t) = [Zn (%) x 47.81] + [Pb (%) x 30.43] + [Cu (%) x 119] + [Ag (g/t) x 1] + [Au (g/t) x 91.93]

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.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Drill core was sawn in half at Silver47’s core logging and processing facilities at the Red Mountain, near Fairbanks Alaska. Core samples were typically taken at 1.0 m intervals in mineralized zones, and 3.0 m intervals outside of mineralized zones. Sample lengths were adjusted as necessary so as not to cross lithologic and mineralogic boundaries. QAQC check samples were inserted into the sample stream with one blank, one duplicate (coarse), and one certified reference material (CRM) occurring within every 20 samples. Drill core was cut in half, bagged, sealed and delivered directly to ALS Minerals Fairbanks, Alaska for transport to the ALS Minerals Laboratories labs in North Vancouver, British Columbia. ALS Minerals Laboratories are registered to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025 accreditations for laboratory procedures. Core samples were analyzed at ALS Laboratory facilities in North Vancouver using four-acid digestion with an ICP-MS finish (ME-MS61). Gold analysis was by fire assay with atomic absorption finish (Au-ICP21). Over-limits for silver, zinc, copper, and lead were analyzed using Ore Grade four-acid digestion (MEOG-62). The standards, certified reference materials, were acquired from CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. of Langley, British Columbia and selected to represent expected mineralization.

Drill core was sawn in half at Silver47’s core logging and processing facilities at the Hughes Project, Tonopah Nevada. All core samples were sent to Paragon Geochemical Laboratories in Sparks, Nevada for preparation and analysis. Paragon meets all requirements of the International Accreditation Service AC89 and demonstrates compliance with ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017 for analytical procedures. Samples were analyzed for gold via fire assay with an AA finish and samples that assayed over 8 ppm were re-run via fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Silver, and trace elements were analyzed via inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy after four-acid digestion. Samples that assayed over 100 ppm Ag were re-run via fire assay for Ag with a gravimetric finish. In addition to Paragon quality assurance / quality control (‘QA/QC’) protocols, Silver47 implements an internal QA/QC program that includes the insertion of sample blanks, duplicates and certified reference materials at systematic and random points in the sample stream.

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s death has not dimmed his legacy of encouraging an increasingly ‘unhappy’ generation to seek meaning and purpose through faith and family, young Americans told Fox News Digital.

‘I think we live in a world where people are more unhappy than ever,’ Georgetown University student Elizabeth Oliver said. ‘Depression rates and suicide are so high, and people are longing for true happiness. Charlie always talked about how ‘desires of the flesh’ aren’t fulfilling or making people happy. Instead of pursuing those things, we should turn ourselves toward higher purposes like family, marriage and God, because those are what truly fulfill people’s lives.’

‘I actually think most people are searching for something,’ she said. ‘I think that searching should be directed toward God. But I think most people recognize nowadays that what the Left has to offer is not going to lead to a fulfilling life.’

Americans’ happiness has taken a nosedive in recent years, with the U.S. falling eight spots in the 2024 World Happiness Report, which ranks countries’ life satisfaction, due to American young adults reporting they are not satisfied compared to their parents’ and grandparents’ generations. Americans older than the age of 60 ranked number 10 for overall happiness, according to the study, while young adults under the age of 30 ranked 62nd internationally for happiness, CNBC reported in 2024. 

Suicide and depression rates have meanwhile skyrocketed in recent years, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting that one-in-five high school students seriously considered attempting suicide in 2023, with suicide jumping by 62% among young adults when comparing 2007 data to 2021 data. 

Amid the increasing rates of unhappiness among youths, Kirk landed under the national spotlight as a youth, himself, rallying his peers to embrace conservative and Christian values to find peace. 

‘Marriage isn’t just a life milestone- it’s a calling. God didn’t say ‘wait until you feel ready.’ He said ‘it is not good for man to be alone.’ Get married young. Be fruitful and multiply,’ Kirk posted to Facebook just months before his death. 

His comments were even praised by Trump, who celebrated his message to young adults to get married. 

‘We have so many bad philosophies, ideologies, politics,’ Trump said on Fox News following Kirk’s death. ‘His was basically just good. He talked about family, he talked about getting married, ‘go get married. It sounds old-fashioned when you think about it, but he’s right.’ 

Kirk was shot and killed Sept. 10 during an outdoor event at Utah Valley University, the first stop on TPUSA’s planned ‘American Comeback Tour.’ 

After news of Kirk’s killing spread across the country and world, some college students are choosing to carry on his legacy by echoing the values he championed and encouraging political debate among Gen Z peers.

Oliver is one of those Gen Zers, a college senior and president of the university’s Right to Life group,a pro-life advocacy group. She told Fox News Digital that she believes open dialogue can help renew focus on Christian conservative values.

Kirk ‘dedicated his life to talking with other people respectfully and listening to them,’ she said. ‘We desperately need more of that dialogue now, more than ever. In a world that has abandoned God and moral values, we have even abandoned the basic respect for other human beings and we need to reclaim it.’

Kirk often spoke of marriage, children and the importance of family — with his widow continuing the promotion of those values from the stage of his memorial service in Arizona in September.

‘We have an uplifting message for America, one that is hopeful, one of family formation, one off church attendance going up one of business ownership of entrepreneurship,’ Kirk said on ‘The Will Cain Show’ on May 2.

‘Trump voters, young men, they want family, children, and legacy,’ Kirk added on the Ingraham Angle Sept. 8, only two days before he was killed. ‘Young women who voted for Kamala Harris, they want careerism, consumerism, and loneliness. That is a dramatic divide that is going to play out in our politics for the years to come.’

Americans’ pessimism toward the institution of marriage and family, however, currently outweighs their optimism, according to a September 2023 Pew Research Center report called, ‘Public Has Mixed Views on the Modern American Family.’ 

‘Americans most often point to job satisfaction and close friends, rather than being married or having children, when asked what contributes to a fulfilling life,’ the report found. ‘Some 71% say having a job or career they enjoy is extremely or very important for people to live a fulfilling life, and 61% say the same about having close friends. Only about a quarter say having children (26%) or being married (23%) is equally important.’

However, young adults are picking up the mantle of Kirk’s promotion of traditional values as support for TPUSA continues to grow following his death. 

Since Kirk’s assassination, Boston University College Republicans Vice President Philip Wohltorf, who also works as a legislative aide in the Massachusetts State Senate, said his group has seen a drastic increase in attendance. Democratic groups on campus, however, have not been open to debating, he said, allowing anti-conservative sentiment to spread across the student body. 

‘We were thinking, well, the left is open-minded and tolerant, they want to talk,’ he said. ‘Unfortunately, they don’t, and it doesn’t really help. I think it would be great on campus if we would have a civil, calm, challenging debate. It would show the student body that people can disagree with one another but still shake hands and be friends afterward.’

He said, ‘America was founded on the principle of freedom of speech and dialogue, and nobody did it better than Charlie Kirk,’ as the cultural divide continues to widen.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, the Boston University College Democrats said the group sent a ‘polite decline’ to a debate request, explaining that it is ‘very difficult to make debates worthwhile.’

‘We feel it is very difficult to make debates worthwhile for participants and viewers, so we decline them with everyone, not just Republicans,’ the group said. ‘Freedom of speech is something we value greatly but we believe that open bipartisan collaboration is the path forward at this time.’

The group condemned all political violence, adding, ‘Charlie Kirk should not have died. We believe everyone should be able to share their ideas and beliefs without fear.’

TPUSA exploded with new interest after Kirk’s memorial service, receiving more than 120,000 campus chapter requests, according to the organization. 

Prior to the memorial service, TPUSA had around 60,000 requests, Andrew Kolvet, executive producer of ‘The Charlie Kirk Show’ recently said. TPUSA operates 900 official college chapters and approximately 1,200 high school chapters across the country. 

Wohltorf said more young people are standing by their values, pointing to faith and family as the most important priorities to many in his generation.

‘I like the saying that people were now posting in the past two weeks talking about how one Charlie Kirk is gone but one hundred thousand new Charlie Kirks were just created,’ Wohltorf said. ‘The majority of the conservative movement feels obligated to continue Charlie Kirk’s legacy and to continue to preach those family values, faith, and Christianity … I think that the majority conservative movement is even more likely to fight now and to speak out,’ Wohltorf said.

Oliver and Wohltorf believe these values will continue to be upheld for years to come after this political turning point. They say they’re inspired by Kirk’s legacy to share their beliefs and not be afraid.

‘I think the majority is trying to continue his legacy, feeling obligated to fight, feeling obligated to foster dialogue, debate, and challenge one another with ideas,’ Wohltorf said.

‘Ultimately, Charlie said he wants to be remembered for his courage, for his faith, and I think that message is resounding very strongly with my generation,’ Oliver said.

Trump posthumously awarded Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, Tuesday at the White House.

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is introducing legislation this week that would fully ban coverage of abortion and gender transition care for minors within the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Fox News Digital has learned.

While existing law prohibits the use of federal funds to pay for elective abortions under the Hyde Amendment, many plans on the ACA exchanges still offer abortion coverage via various state-level loopholes and separate bill schemes. Hawley’s legislation would expressly state that no ACA healthcare plan can cover an abortion procedure, except in cases of rape, incest or a threat to the life of the mother.

The legislation would similarly ban plans from offering coverage for gender transition care for minors, both in the form of drugs or procedures.

‘It’s time to ban abortion and gender transitions for minors on the healthcare exchanges,’ Hawley said in a statement to Fox News Digital. ‘No more loopholes.’

The legislative push comes as the Senate is already set to be focused on the ACA in the coming weeks, with a deadline for extending Obamacare subsidies looming with the Nov. 1 open enrollment date.

Democrats are already raising their voices about pushing through an extension, but Senate Republicans have said they’re open to negotiating a deal on the subsidies — with reforms — only after the government reopens.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his fellow Democrats have blocked Republican attempts to end the government shutdown eight times since Oct. 1. Schumer argues Republicans must come to the table with concessions, while Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., says the opposition’s demands are unreasonable.

‘Democrats like to whine that Republicans aren’t negotiating, but negotiation, Mr. President, is what you do when each side has a list of demands and you need to meet in the middle,’ Thune said on the Senate floor Tuesday. ‘Republicans, as I and a lot of other people pointed out, haven’t put forward any demands. Only Democrats have made demands. And by the way, very expensive demands.’

Republicans say Democrats are demanding that the Senate undo a total of $1.5 trillion in spending cuts from the ‘big, beautiful bill’ and claw back funding for NPR and PBS to give, in part, to illegal immigrants.

If the shutdown extends past the Nov. 1 deadline, those one ACA coverage plans could see their premiums skyrocket. It would also make this year’s shutdown the longest in American history, eclipsing the previous record set under former President Bill Clinton between late 1995 and early 1996. That shutdown lasted 21 days and was over a budget dispute between Clinton and then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Prismo Metals’ high-grade silver and copper assets in Arizona, anchored by the Silver King project, offer investors exposure to near-surface polymetallic mineralization and large-system copper potential in a tier-one US jurisdiction, guided by an accomplished technical team. Prismo also retains strategic silver-gold leverage through its Palos Verdes joint program with Vizsla Silver in Mexico, creating a balanced portfolio designed for discovery and growth.

Overview

Prismo Metals (CSE:PRIZ,OTCQB:PMOMF,FSE:7KU) is a North American exploration company focused on advancing high-grade silver, gold and copper discoveries in Arizona, one of the world’s most productive and mining-friendly jurisdictions. The company’s projects, Silver King, Ripsey and Hot Breccia, position Prismo at the forefront of exploration in the Arizona Copper Belt, an area that hosts some of the largest copper deposits on Earth.

Prismo Metals

The historic Silver King mine produced nearly 6 million ounces of silver during the 1880s.

At the center of Prismo’s focus is the Silver King project, a historic silver mine adjacent to BHP and Rio Tinto’s giant Resolution Copper operation. Along with the nearby Ripsey Mine and Hot Breccia project, these assets form a complementary pipeline targeting both bonanza-grade gold and district-scale copper systems.

In Mexico, Prismo continues to advance its Palos Verdes project through a strategic partnership with Vizsla Silver, Prismo’s largest shareholder, providing investors exposure to one of the richest silver-gold districts in the Americas.

Prismo’s business strategy combines technical excellence, modern exploration technologies and disciplined capital allocation to advance near-term drilling and long-term discovery growth across its portfolio.

Company Highlights

  • Arizona-focused Exploration: Advancing a portfolio of high-grade silver, copper and gold projects – Silver King, Ripsey and Hot Breccia – in the heart of the Arizona Copper Belt.
  • Exceptional Grades and Momentum: Sampling at Silver King returned 619 g/t silver and 511 g/t silver, as well as 757 g/t silver, 1.5 percent copper, 6.7 percent lead, and 11.5 percent zinc from a newly identified polymetallic vein. An expanded 1,000-meter Phase 2 drill program is planned.
  • Strategic Land Position: Projects are surrounded by major producers, including BHP/Rio Tinto’s Resolution Copper and Freeport’s Christmas Mine, offering unmatched geological and infrastructure advantages.
  • AI-driven Copper Discovery: Hot Breccia, a large-scale copper-gold target, combines historic Kennecott and Phelps Dodge drilling with new ZTEM geophysics and AI-based drill targeting for a 5,000 m program.
  • Partnership Strength: In Mexico, Prismo maintains silver-gold exposure through its Palos Verdes project in collaboration with Vizsla Silver, which is also Prismo’s largest shareholder holding 6.1 percent ownership.
  • Tight Share Structure: With only 83.6 million shares outstanding, a market cap of $12.1 million (as of October 14th, 2025) and 28.7 percent insider and advisor ownership, Prismo’s management is closely aligned with shareholders

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.

Investor Insight

Empire Metals (OTCQB:EPMLF, AIM:EEE) is unlocking one of the world’s largest and purest titanium deposits at its flagship Pitfield project in Western Australia. With growing global demand, a looming supply deficit, and near-term development milestones, Empire offers a compelling investment opportunity in the critical minerals space.

Overview

Empire Metals (OTCQB:EPMLF, AIM:EEE) is an Australian focused exploration and resource development company rapidly gaining international attention for its discovery and rapid development of what is believed to be the world’s largest titanium deposit.

View of Empire Metals

The company is focused on advancing its flagship asset, the Pitfield project, located in Western Australia, a tier 1 mining jurisdiction. With a dominant landholding of more than 1,000 sq km, and a titanium mineral system that spans 40 km in strike length, Pitfield is emerging as a district-scale “giant” discovery with the potential to reshape the global titanium supply landscape.

Empire Metals reported a maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE) at the Pitfield Project in Western Australia, indicating one of the largest and highest-grade titanium resources reported globally, totalling 2.2 billion tonnes grading 5.1percent titanium dioxide (TiO2) for 113 million tonnes of contained TiO2

Empire’s strategic focus on titanium comes at a pivotal time. Titanium is officially recognized as a critical mineral by both the European Union and the United States, owing to its essential role in aerospace, defense, medical technologies, clean energy and high-performance industrial applications. Global demand for titanium dioxide — the most widely used form of titanium — is surging due to its unmatched properties as a pigment and as a feedstock for titanium metal. Titanium supply chains are also increasingly being constrained by geopolitical risks, mine depletion and environmental challenges associated with traditional production. More than 60 percent of the global supply chain is currently concentrated in a handful of countries, notably China and Russia, creating significant vulnerabilities for Western markets.

Empire Metals

Titanium has been designated as a critical mineral in both the EU and the US.

Against this backdrop, Empire Metals offers investors a compelling opportunity to gain exposure to a strategically vital metal through a large-scale, high-grade and clean titanium discovery. Unlike many traditional titanium sources, Pitfield’s mineralization is exceptionally pure — free from detrimental amounts of uranium, thorium, chromium and other contaminants — making it ideally suited for premium, high-purity end markets. Furthermore, the mineralized zone is near-surface and laterally extensive, allowing for low-strip and scalable bulk mining with conventional processing technologies.

With more than 22,000 meters of drilling already completed and only a fraction of the mineral system tested, Empire is aggressively advancing Pitfield towards a maiden JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate, targeted for H2-2025. Alongside this work, the company is also undertaking bulk sampling and metallurgical processing to advance flowsheet design and optimize product specifications. It is also engaging with industry players to assess product suitability for premium pigment and titanium sponge markets. Empire is planning to finalize, during the current calendar year, a mining study to evaluate the potential for a low-cost strip mining approach, utilizing continuous mining techniques.

The company is supported by a seasoned leadership team with deep expertise in exploration, resource development, mining, metallurgy and capital markets — ensuring that strategic decisions are guided by both technical excellence and a strong track record of value creation.

Company Highlights

  • The flagship Pitfield project is the world’s largest known titanium discovery. It’s a district-scale “giant” titanium mineral system, characterised by high-grade, high-purity titanium mineralisation exhibiting exceptional continuity.
  • Titanium is in a global supply deficit and recognized as a critical mineral by the EU and US.
  • Drill intercepts at Pitfield include up to 202 meters at 6.32 percent titanium dioxide (TiO2) from surface, confirming vast scale and grade.
  • Pitfield Project MRE totals 2.2 billion tonnes at 5.1 percent titanium dioxide (TiO2), containing 113 million tonnes of titanium dioxide, including a substantial indicated resource of 697 million tonnes at 5.3 percent titanium dioxide.
  • Empire Metals operates in one of the world’s most secure, mining-friendly jurisdictions: Western Australia.
  • The company is led by an experienced, agile team, with proven expertise in exploration, mine development, and value creation across multiple commodities.
  • With a number of key development catalysts planned for 2025, including a maiden resource estimate, bulk sampling for scale-up of metallurgical testwork, and product optimisation, Empire remains significantly undervalued relative to its peers.

Key Projects

Pitfield Project – A World-Class Titanium Discovery

Located in Western Australia, the Pitfield project is Empire Metals’ flagship asset and represents one of the most exciting titanium discoveries globally. Spanning an area of approximately 1,042 sq km, the project has revealed a colossal mineral system measuring 40 km in length and up to 8 km in width, with geophysical indications of mineralization extending to at least a depth of 5 km.

Empire Metals

Pitfield’s prime location in Western Australia

Extensive drilling across the project has intercepted thick, laterally continuous zones of high-grade titanium dioxide mineralization, highlighting the system’s enormous scale and consistency.

The titanium at Pitfield occurs predominantly in the minerals anatase and rutile within a weathered, in-situ cap that begins at surface. These minerals are exceptionally pure, often exceeding 90 percent titanium dioxide. They are free from harmful amounts of contaminants like uranium, thorium, chromium and phosphorus — qualities that are likely to make the deposit uniquely suitable for premium, high-purity titanium applications in aerospace, defense and clean technologies.

Pitfield is strategically located near the town of Three Springs, approximately 150 km southeast of the port city of Geraldton. The project benefits from direct access to essential infrastructure, including sealed highways, rail lines and an available water supply. This connectivity significantly enhances development potential by reducing logistics costs and simplifying future project build-out. Moreover, the Western Australian government actively supports critical mineral development, and Empire is operating within a stable, mining-friendly jurisdiction known for streamlined permitting and investment security.

Empire has completed more than 22,000 meters of drilling, confirming standout titanium dioxide (TiO2) results such as 154 meters at 6.76 percent TiO2, 148 meters at 6.49 percent TiO2, and 150 meters at 6.44 percent TiO2. Notably, mineralization remains open at depth in all tested zones, and to date, only around 5 percent of the interpreted system has been drilled. This underscores the immense upside potential for resource expansion.

The project’s development advantages are equally compelling: the mineralization is near-surface and amenable to simple, bulk mining methods with conventional processing. Its location in a tier-one mining jurisdiction offers access to infrastructure, a skilled workforce and strong regulatory support.

Pitfield is advancing toward a maiden JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate, expected by H2-2025. The project is already being recognized as a potential cornerstone asset in the global titanium supply chain.

In August 2025, Empire Metals achieved a metallurgical breakthrough, confirming that conventional processing can deliver strong results. Testwork returned 77 percent recovery in the rougher stage, 90 percent in cleaning, and 98 percent titanium dissolution, for an overall 67 percent titanium recovery. The process produced a high-purity TiO₂ concentrate grading 99.25 percent with ~5 percent Fe₂O₃, supporting plans for a lower-cost pilot plant.

Empire Metals has announced a maiden JORC (2012)-compliant mineral resource estimate (MRE) for its Pitfield Project in Western Australia, confirming one of the world’s largest and highest-grade titanium resources. The MRE totals 2.2 billion tonnes at 5.1 percent titanium dioxide, containing 113 million tonnes of titanium dioxide, including a substantial Indicated Resource of 697 million tonnes at 5.3 percent titanium dioxide.

The resource, defined across the Thomas and Cosgrove deposits, represents less than 20 percent of the known mineralised area, highlighting significant expansion potential. Drilling at Thomas has outlined a continuous 3.6-kilometre high-grade core averaging about 6 percent titanium dioxide, supporting an initial mine life exceeding 30 years.

Other Projects

In addition to Pitfield, Empire Metals maintains a portfolio of early-stage exploration assets offering optionality and exposure to other strategic and precious metals. Empire holds interests in two Western Australian projects — the Walton and Eclipse gold projects — both situated in historically productive mineral belts. While these assets are not the current focus, they contribute exploration upside and optionality within the company’s broader strategy.

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., and Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., are pressing Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to investigate the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), claiming that it may be funded or directed by Hamas or other terrorist groups.

CAIR describes itself as a Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization founded in 1994 with chapters across the U.S.

The request comes as President Donald Trump led a ceasefire in Gaza between Hamas and Israel.

Stefanik and Cotton allege CAIR’s historic ties, public rhetoric and activism raise questions about whether the group’s support for Hamas amounts to material support for terrorism.

The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, which enforces U.S. sanctions on terrorist groups and their affiliates, has the authority to investigate whether CAIR’s activities violate federal law, the lawmakers said.

CAIR has long denied accusations of supporting Hamas, saying it ‘does not support any foreign organization or government’ and calling such claims ‘false and Islamophobic,’ according to a statement on its website. The group says its mission is to advocate for Muslim civil rights in the U.S.

Stefanik chairs the House Republican Conference, and Cotton sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Both have pressed for stricter enforcement of anti-terror finance laws in past oversight efforts.

In July, Stefanik criticized the City University of New York for hiring a former CAIR employee. She called the decision unacceptable to New York taxpayers.

She and Cotton say a Treasury probe would ensure no U.S. assets are used to advance the objectives of Hamas.

‘We urge the department to immediately investigate whether CAIR maintains financial links to Hamas that violate U.S. sanctions,’ they wrote.

CAIR did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
