Chibougamau Independent Mines Inc. (CBG-TSXV, CLL1-FSE, CMAUF-OTC) announced new drilling results from the Berrigan Mine project, in Quebec, Canada.

Highlights:

• 98.5 metres of 1.34 g/t AuEq and ZnEq.

• 14.6 metres of 2.39 g/t AuEq and ZnEq.

• 4.9 metres of 6.26 g/t AuEq and ZnEq.

Drill hole TOM-25-015 confirmed a new major semi-massive sulphide zone, Berrigan Deep, which remains open at depth and indicates a potentially extensive mineralised system below the known zones.

Luca Mining Corp. (TSXV: LUCA; OTCQX: LUCMF) reported initial drilling results from the El Rey deposit at the Campo Morado mine, Guerrero State, Mexico.

Highlights:

• 28.6 metres of 5.35 g/t AuEq, including:

  • 2.8 metres of 12.55 g/t AuEq.

• 21.0 metres of 6.13 g/t AuEq, including:

  • 2.2 metres of 25.38 g/t AuEq.

Mineralisation extends beyond historical models, supporting mine life extension and improved production flexibility.

First drilling at El Rey in over 14 years confirms thick, high-grade gold- and silver-rich VMS mineralisation, close to existing underground infrastructure, reinforcing its potential inclusion in the Campo Morado mine plan.

Gold prices slipped below $5,000 per ounce today as the U.S. dollar strengthened and investors took profits after a blistering rally that pushed bullion to record highs earlier in the week.

The pullback was triggered in part by speculation around the likely appointment of a more hawkish Federal Reserve chair, which bolstered the dollar and weighed on gold and other precious metals.

Despite the retreat, gold is still on track for its strongest monthly gain since 1999, with prices having climbed sharply in January amid safe‑haven buying driven by economic and geopolitical uncertainty.

Other precious metals such as silver, platinum, and palladium also fell sharply alongside gold as profit‑taking surfaced across the metals complex.
