First Phosphate Corp. (NASDAQ:PHOS | CSE:PHOS | OTCQX:FRSPF | FSE:KD0), a sponsoring partner of TNBR, has received a Letter of Support from Swiss Export Risk Insurance (SERV) for financing of approximately USD 212.5 million toward Swiss machinery, equipment, goods and services for its igneous phosphate mine project and processing facility in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Quebec.
The amount corresponds to 85% of an assumed eligible export contract value of USD 250 million, with SERV prepared to provide cover of up to 95% of the eligible financed amount under OECD guidelines, and to consider a higher financing amount should the final contract value increase.

Tiger Gold Corp. (TSXV:TIGR)(FSE:D150)(OTCQB:TGRGF), a sponsoring partner of TNBR, reported assay results from three drill holes at its Ceibal target, part of the Quinchía Gold Project in Colombia.
Highlights:
165.7 metres of 0.9 g/t gold, including:
36 metres of 2.9 g/t gold
465 metres of 0.6 g/t gold, including:
21 metres of 1.2 g/t gold
232 metres of 0.5 g/t gold
Results confirm broad, near-surface gold mineralisation across the Ceibal corridor along with higher grades at depth within an early diorite unit, which remains open.
Drilling continues at Ceibal, with assays pending from several additional holes and a maiden Mineral Resource estimate targeted for early 2027.
FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FFOX) (OTCQB: FFOXF) reported assay results from additional drill holes at its Mustajärvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland.

1.0 metre of 14.9 g/t gold
Results extend the high-grade core of the Northeast Zone to the west and return encouraging intercepts from the western side of the Central Zone, where alteration along the Mustajärvi Shear Zone is described as intense.
Drilling continues, with further assays pending from the same fence and additional targets being tested elsewhere on the property.
Capitan Silver Corp. (TSXV: CAPT) (OTCQX: CAPTF) announced assay results from its Cruz de Plata silver-gold project in Durango, Mexico.

6.0 metres of 125.3 g/t AgEq, including:
1.0 metre of 1,123.6 g/t AgEq
27.4 metres of 142.4 g/t AgEq, including:
1.5 metres of 889.9 g/t AgEq
Results extend the Jesus Maria Silver Trend to 2.8 km of continuous strike and identify new high-grade zones at depth east of the Peñoles Fault.
Assays remain pending for a further 78 drill holes across multiple priority targets.
Adyton Resources Corporation (TSXV:ADY)(OTCQB:ADYRF)(FSE:701) announced assay results from drilling at its Kabang prospect, part of the Feni Island Gold-Copper Project in Papua New Guinea.
Highlights:

57 metres of 2.03 g/t AuEq
162 metres of 0.48 g/t AuEq
92 metres of 0.67 g/t AuEq
Results validate historic drilling at Kabang and confirm mineralisation extending along a structural corridor of roughly 2 kilometres to the northeast and southwest, which remains open in both directions.
A large-scale induced polarisation survey is now underway across Feni Island, and further assays are pending.
Soma Gold Corp. (TSXV:SOMA)(WKN:A2P4DU)(OTC:SMAGF) reported surface drilling results from the Atenas Zone at its Cordero Mine in Antioquia, Colombia.

0.47 metres of 167.2 g/t gold
3.8 metres of 20.6 g/t gold, including:
0.8 metres of 94.5 g/t gold
6.05 metres of 15.3 g/t gold, including:
0.64 metres of 60.5 g/t gold
Drilling identifies a new vein at the upper extent of the Atenas quartz vein system, supporting ongoing mining operations.
The programme continues to extend the known limits of mineralisation at Cordero.
Freegold Limited (TSX:FVL | OTCQX:FGOVF) reported additional drill results from its 2026 Golden Summit programme in Alaska, USA.

🧐 Gold Finds Momentum
Gold prices rose for a second straight session today, reaching a one-week high of $4,378.19 per ounce, while US gold futures climbed to $4,418.20.
Reuters reported that easing oil prices helped support bullion by reducing concerns over inflation and further interest-rate increases, while ongoing Middle East tensions continued to provide a safe-haven boost.
The gains came despite the Federal Reserve’s recent rate hike and signals that further increases could follow, which would normally weigh on non-yielding gold.
