Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s surprise resignation from Congress stunned House Republicans and sets up an even tighter majority in the lower chamber that could foil major legislative priorities.

Whether it triggers a ripple effect of Republican lawmakers following her lead remains to be seen. Still, there are members of the House GOP who are frustrated by how events have unfolded in recent months, especially after House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., opted to keep the House in session for over 50 days during the government shutdown.

Rep. Mike Haridopolos, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital he’s ‘heard rumors’ of frustration among his colleagues but, from people he’s spoken with, ‘They’re committed to being here.’

‘This is an incredible honor to serve in the House of Representatives, and when you run for office, I think you should fill out your term,’ Haridopolos said.

‘This is what the American public wanted,’ he continued. ‘I mean, they affirmatively put Republicans in power. And the only frustration we’ve been through, at least my biggest frustration, is when the Democrats exercise their power to shut the government down for 43 days.’

Greene, in her resignation letter teeing up her departure from Congress Jan. 5, 2026, aired grievances about how little progress has been made on Capitol Hill since she became a lawmaker in 2021.

She also took aim at President Donald Trump, who she has for weeks been distancing herself from despite being a die-hard Trump loyalist for much of her legislative career, and at Johnson for his handling of the shutdown.

‘During the longest shutdown in our nation’s history, I raged against my own speaker and my own party for refusing to proactively work diligently to pass a plan to save American healthcare and protect Americans from outrageous overpriced and unaffordable health insurance policies,’ Greene said. ‘The House should have been in session working every day to fix this disaster, but instead America was forced fed disgusting political drama once again from both sides of the aisle.’

Rep. Blake Moore, R-Utah, the fifth highest-ranking House Republican, sought to quash any rumors of dissent among the ranks in a statement to Fox News Digital.

‘Speaker Johnson and the House Republican leadership team have made a diligent effort to listen to all members of the conference for input, policy ideas and concerns,’ he said. ‘As usual, the media is building a negative narrative, but our record of delivering for the American people with our majority this year speaks to our teamwork and unity.’

That majority is now headed for a tenuous situation with Greene’s retirement.

Though Republicans are expected to maintain a seat after former Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., retired, the special election to replace the late former Rep. Sylvester Turner, D-Texas, is expected to stay in Democratic control, effectively nullifying the results.

That means when Greene leaves, and if the results in Tennessee in December favor Republicans, Democrats are hoping for a miracle in the race. The results in Texas in late January favor Democrats, so the GOP would be left with effectively a two-vote majority.

Another lawmaker was tempted to exit the House for a different reason.

Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., was furious over the White House’s 28-point plan for Russia and Ukraine and told Fox News Digital that he found it ‘so appalling, so embarrassing.’

Bacon argued that the plan, which has broadly been viewed as giving Moscow much of what it wants and leaves Ukraine with little other than an end to the ongoing war, was ‘a recipe for Ukraine being abused for decades to come, and to be basically a vassal state under Russian control. And that was unacceptable.’

His preference is that if Ukraine is pushed to give up territory to Russia, it should be allowed to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization at the very least.

He noted that he ran on a pro-Ukraine platform, and, for a moment, considered resigning, fast-tracking his planned retirement from Congress at the end of next year.

‘I was so frustrated, it went through my mind,’ Bacon said. ‘You know, I don’t want to be a part of this team, frankly, but I don’t — I knew it was wrong. It was short-lived.

‘I think people would be doing a disservice to a lot of people just to resign,’ he continued. ‘I frankly think you should only resign if you got, like, an illness, or your spouse has an illness, or you got a legal issue. You know, when you run, there’s a commitment.’

The far-left push within the Democratic Party, highlighted by mayoral victories by socialist candidates in New York City and Seattle, is poised to be a major factor in several key battleground House races as several candidates carrying the progressive mantle hold strong positions in Democratic primaries.

Several of the most competitive House races in the country feature candidates putting to the test whether progressive policies can appeal to voters outside deep blue urban centers, including in California’s 22nd Congressional District, where Democrat Randy Villegas is running to unseat Republican Rep. David Valadao. 

‘Bernie and I share the same goal: to make life more affordable for working families,’ Villegas said in a statement after being endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., a self-described ‘democratic socialist.’

‘He has dedicated his life to putting power in the hands of ordinary Americans instead of the ultra-rich, and I’m excited to work together to fight for our communities here in the Central Valley and across the country.’

In addition to being endorsed by Sanders, who endorsed New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, Villegas has employed the Fight Agency advertising firm, among others, which is led by operatives who also helped Mamdani cruise to victory earlier this month.

Fox News Digital reported this week that Fight Agency is also working to defeat two vulnerable House Republicans in Pennsylvania, Reps. Rob Bresnahan and Ryan Mackenzie.

Villegas, endorsed by the progressive Working Families Party that endorsed Mamdani, is currently running in a Democratic primary against California state Assemblywoman Jasmeet Bains, who was recruited by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and currently is sitting on less cash on hand than Villegas.

‘Here in the Central Valley, we couldn’t care less about political labels,’ Villegas said in a statement to Fox News Digital. ‘We care about being able to see a doctor without going bankrupt and being able to feed our families without needing a second job. We’re sick of politicians in both parties selling us out to billionaires and corporations. Any politician who isn’t fighting for working families like our lives depends on it needs to get out of the way.’

In Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, GOP Rep. Gabe Evans is being challenged by another progressive Democrat, Manny Rutinel, in what is expected to be one of the tightest House races next November.

Rutinel, who serves as a Colorado state representative, who was reportedly spotted alongside Mamdani and holds a large fundraising lead over his Democrat opponents, has associated himself with a variety of far-left groups and politicians, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Townhall reported.

Rutinel has been endorsed by progressive groups like CHC Bold PAC and Latino Victory Fund.

The race to unseat GOP Rep. Darrell Issa in California’s redrawn 48th Congressional District features Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar, who describes himself as a ‘working-class progressive’ and was endorsed by the Sanders-linked group Our Revolution. 

Campa-Najjar, who volunteered for Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign and appears to be the front-runner in the Democratic primary, was endorsed in 2020 by the Working Families Party as well as Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Courage to Change PAC. 

GOP Rep. Tom Barrett is up for re-election in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, and one of the Democrats running to replace him is William Lawrence, who co-founded the progressive Sunrise Movement.

Lawrence’s policies have drawn comparisons to Mamdani, including from the Lansing City Pulse, who wrote that his ‘campaign is built on a community movement, a message of ‘real representation’ that takes ‘political control away from the establishment and puts it back in the hands of the people.’ It’s like how Zohran Mamdani won in New York City.’

Peter Chatzky is running as a Democrat challenging GOP Rep. Mike Lawler in New York’s 17th Congressional District, and although he is running in a crowded primary, he has the ability to self-fund and is viewed as a formidable contender in a district ranked by Cook Political Report as ‘Lean Republican.’

Chatzky has defended Mamdani’s agenda on social media and praised the young socialist for running ‘an effective campaign that consistently focused on affordability, fairness, and opportunity in New York City.’

Chatzky, the only Democrat in the field who has called for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to step down, has expressed support for ‘universal healthcare.’

Like Mamdani, Chatzky has also faced criticism for his positions on Israel and defended Mamdani against allegations of antisemitism. 

In Nebraska, John Cavanaugh, a state senator, is running as a Democrat to replace retiring GOP Rep. Don Bacon in the 2nd Congressional District with the endorsement of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which he said he is ‘grateful’ for and that he plans to join them on the ‘front lines.’

As Democratic leadership in Washington, D.C. begins to face calls for new faces, Republicans across the country have made the argument that the socialist push in recent months is reshaping key House races and changing the landscape of the way the Democratic Party operates going forward. 

Mike Marinella, national spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), told Fox News Digital the rise of progressive candidates is a ‘full-blown battle for the soul of the Democrat Party’ and concluded that the ‘socialist stampede is winning.’

‘Democrats aren’t focused on helping working families, they’re too busy tearing each other apart.’ 

In a statement to Fox News Digital, DCCC spokesperson Viet Shelton touted the Democrats across the country who are focusing on affordability. 

‘Because of House Republicans, everything is too damn expensive and working families are struggling. Republican operatives in D.C. know they can’t win on the issues, so we’re seeing them melt down in real time,’ Shelton said.

‘Even President Trump is in the Oval Office desperately bear hugging the Mayor-elect. It’s embarrassing. While they waste their time, Democrats across the country are laser focused on lowering prices and fighting for everyday Americans, which is why we will re-take the majority.’

President Donald Trump pardoned a pair of turkeys at the White House on Tuesday, going on to joke that former President Joe Biden’s turkey pardons last year were ‘null and void’ because he used an autopen.

Trump made the joke while carrying out the decades-long White House Thanksgiving tradition, this year pardoning ‘Gobble’ and ‘Waddle.’ The crowd laughed as Trump said he saved last year’s turkeys, ‘Peach’ and ‘Blossom’ from being carved up after the nullification of Biden’s pardons.

‘I wanted to make an important announcement. Because you remember last year, after a thorough and very rigorous investigation by [Attorney General] Pam Bondi and all of the people at Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA, and the White House Counsel’s Office…I have determined that last year’s turkey pardons are totally invalid,’ Trump said.

‘Null and void,’ Trump said of the pardons. ‘The turkeys known as Peach and Blossom last year have been located, and they were on their way to be processed, in other words, to be killed. But I’ve stopped that journey, and I am officially pardoning them. And they will not be served for Thanksgiving dinner. We saved them in the nick of time.’

This year’s turkeys, ‘Waddle’ and ‘Gobble,’ are the largest turkeys ever to receive a presidential pardon, Trump said. Both of the birds weigh over 50 pounds.

A National Turkey Federation spokeswoman told reporters at the White House that after Waddle and Gobble are pardoned, they will move to North Carolina State University, where they will serve as ‘Turkey ambassadors for our industry.’

First lady Melania Trump held a poll on X to name this year’s turkeys, resulting in Waddle and Gobble.

Last year’s pardoned turkeys, the aforementioned Peach and Blossom, and the ones before them, ‘Liberty’ and ‘Bell,’ all came from Minnesota.

North Carolina, Indiana, Iowa, South Dakota, Ohio, California, Virginia and Missouri have all sent turkeys to the White House.

A Florida man was arrested after an FBI investigation linked him to multiple extremist group chats on the encrypted messaging app Signal, where agents claim he used aliases to share disturbing graphic messages, detailed instructions for explosives and violent neo-Nazi propaganda.

Lucas Alexander Temple, 20, is facing federal charges for distribution of information regarding the manufacturing or use of explosives and possession of an unregistered short-barreled shotgun, according to court documents.

According to criminal complaints, Temple shared a hand-drawn diagram of a homemade detonator, linked to YouTube videos describing how to synthesize dynamite and construct blasting caps, and posted a 122-page extremist manual filled with White supremacist rhetoric. 

Investigators said the chats also included graphic discussions promoting rape, torture and murder, including the killing of non-White children.

Screenshots of messages allegedly sent by Temple’s aliases included phrases like, ‘How long would it take to rape a femboy to death?’ and discussions about sexually assaulting men.

Temple’s online aliases were linked to his true identity through personal details shared in chats — including his age, job at a grocery store and a family museum visit — and were verified with state records and security footage, according to the complaint.

While executing a search warrant at Temple’s home on Thursday, FBI agents found neo-Nazi propaganda, a book related to Columbine High School shooters Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris and a Springfield Model 67 Series E shotgun with a barrel shorter than 18 inches.

The barrel was allegedly sawed off and found in a separate area by investigators.

ATF records confirmed Temple was not registered to have the weapon.

Agents also found a handwritten note that said, ‘Plans: Wear body cams for livestream. Notify friends of livestream. Put flags on car. Play music on car speakers during operation. Place motion-activated bombs in doorways (for cops).’

During his initial court appearance, Magistrate Judge Amanda Arnold Sansone ordered that he remain detained pending trial, finding he posed a serious danger to others.

Silver Dollar Resources Inc. (CSE:SLV)(OTCQX:SLVDF)(FSE:4YW) (‘Silver Dollar’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to report underground sample assay results and preliminary geologic modeling of existing high-grade drill results in support of an exploration and mining strategy shift from open pit to underground at its 100%-owned La Joya Silver (Cu-Au) Project (the ‘Property’) in the state of Durango, Mexico.

Figure 1: La Joya plan view showing mineralized areas and location of underground sampling.

A total of 16 channel samples were collected from the historic La Embotelladora mine workings, showing mineralization localized in ENE and NNE structural zones. Sample R-300 returned 2,753 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) over 0.4 metres (m) representing the NNE trending zone. Sample R-291 returned 328 g/t AgEq over 0.4m representing the ENE structural zone (Table 1). These data combined with existing drilling results are aiding in the Company’s ongoing strategy of transitioning La Joya from an open pit to an underground project by confirming high grade mineralization localization in a network of prospective structures. Ongoing geologic modeling will focus on validating this thesis through re-focused exploration planning.

Table 1: Assay results from underground sampling campaign.

Silver equivalent is calculated using the following metal prices in USD: Au $1,750/oz, Ag $22/oz, Pb $1.25/lb, Zn $1.50/lb, Cu $4.30/lb. Recoveries of Au 66%, Ag 93%, Pb 87%, Zn 84%, Cu 70% historically reported from Pan American Silver’s La Colorada mine and Southern Silver’s Cerro Minitas mine (Cu only) have been used in the AgEq calculation, and are assumed to be comparable to anticipated recoveries at La Joya.

Figure 3: La Joya preliminary numerical model of AgEq trended to apparent E-W structural network.

Silver Dollar has also completed preliminary numerical modeling of existing drillhole assay data to identify additional high-grade mineralization. Numerical models were trended using preliminary vein modeling, which focused on a series of emerging E-W trends. Ongoing geologic modeling will incorporate other local trends, including a NNE structural trend, and the impact of stratigraphic-structural intersections on plunging mineral trends.

‘With silver, copper, and gold prices all reaching record highs this year, it’s an opportune time to re-conceptualize La Joya from a new underground perspective,’ said Greg Lytle, President of Silver Dollar. ‘The goal of our geological modeling is to assess La Joya’s underground potential based on a compilation of all historical data, consider hypothetical underground mining methods, and identify high-priority exploration targets to add value to the Project.’

Procedure, quality assurance/quality control and data verification:

All rock samples were collected, described, photographed, and bagged on-site. The samples were delivered by Silver Dollar staff to ActLabs in Zacatecas, Mexico for analysis. ActLabs is ISO 9001:2015 certified. Rock samples were crushed, pulverized and screened to -80 mesh at the lab, prior to analysis. Gold is analyzed by a 30g Fire Assay with AA (atomic absorption spectroscopy) finish, then gravimetric finish if greater than 10ppm Gold. Silver and 34 other elements were analyzed using a four-acid digestion with an ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission spectroscopy) finish. Silver, lead, zinc, and copper over limits were re-assayed using an ore-grade four-acid digestion with ICP-AES (Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy) finish. Control samples comprising certified reference samples and blank samples were systematically inserted into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the Company’s quality assurance and quality control protocol.

About the La Joya Property:

La Joya is an advanced exploration stage property consisting of 15 mineral concessions totaling 4,646 hectares and hosts the Main Mineralized Trend (MMT), Santo Nino, and Coloradito deposits.

The previous operator, Silvercrest Mines, released a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) NI 43-101 Technical Report on the La Joya Property in December 2013. The PEA included a mineral resource estimate (MRE) on the MMT and Santo Nino deposits (See Historical MRE Table) that was based on 89 holes totaling 30,085 m of Silvercrest’s drilling between 2010 and 2012 (See Historical MRE Model). The MRE was reported to conform to CIM definitions for resource estimation; however, a qualified person of Silver Dollar has not done sufficient work to classify the historical resource, and the Company is not treating it as a current mineral resource. Independent data verification and an assessment of the mineral resource estimation methods are required to verify the historical mineral resource.

The Property is situated approximately 75 kilometres southeast of the Durango state capital city of Durango in a high-grade silver region with past-producing and operating mines, including Silver Storm’s La Parrilla Mine, Industrias Penoles’ Sabinas Mine, Grupo Mexico’s San Martin Mine, Sabinas Mine, First Majestic’s Del Toro Mine, and Pan American Silver’s La Colorada Mine (Figure 4).

Canada is preparing to unveil a multibillion-dollar uranium export agreement with India, marking the strongest sign yet that the two countries are rebuilding ties after a two-year diplomatic freeze.

Two people familiar with the negotiations revealed that the deal, valued at roughly US$2.8 billion, would run for up to a decade and position Canadian producer Cameco (TSX:CCO,NYSE:CCJ) as a long-term supplier to India’s expanding nuclear power sector.

The final terms are still being refined, the sources cautioned, but the agreement is expected to be announced in the coming days.

The deal, if it pushes through, would form part of the formal attempt of both parties to revive economic cooperation after a period of political strain.

This culminated last weekend in a decision by Prime Minister Mark Carney and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to restart long-stalled trade talks. The former has also accepted the latter’s invitation to visit India in 2026.

Both leaders signaled their intention to pursue a comprehensive economic partnership as they seek alternatives to increasingly unpredictable US trade policy.

According to two sources, the new agreement will not be a renewal but an entirely separate, larger commitment.

The pending export deal would go well beyond the countries’ previous uranium pact: a five-year, roughly US$350-million arrangement signed in 2015 that allowed India to buy Cameco uranium for civilian nuclear use.

In a recent press release, India’s Ministry of External Affairs also noted that “both sides reaffirmed their longstanding civil nuclear cooperation and noted the ongoing discussions on expanding collaboration, including through long-term uranium supply arrangements.”

India’s interest reflects its growing nuclear-power ambitions. The country operates about 25 reactors—many based on the Canadian-designed CANDU system—with six more under construction.

As electricity demand climbs and the government pushes to reduce carbon emissions, securing reliable uranium supplies has become a strategic priority for New Delhi. Expanded cooperation with Canada could also extend into small modular reactors, an area Ottawa has been promoting as part of its clean energy strategy and transition.

For Canada, the deal furthers its goals of developing a stable domestic nuclear supply. The country is the world’s second-largest producer of uranium, responsible for about 13 percent of global output, and holds some of the highest-grade deposits in the world.

Nearly 85 percent of Canadian uranium is exported primarily from mines in northern Saskatchewan. The industry generates around US$800 million in annual economic activity and employs more than 2,000 people, including many Indigenous and northern workers.

The diplomatic significance of the deal is equally notable. Relations between Canada and India plummeted in September 2023 after then-prime-minister Justin Trudeau accused New Delhi of involvement in the killing of Canadian Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, an allegation India rejected.

The allegations led to trade talks being suspended, and political contact between the two countries sharply diminished.

While Canadian authorities continue to investigate the matter, Carney has signaled that he wants to move economic relations forward, particularly as he seeks to diversify exports away from the US under President Donald Trump.

Strategic Minerals plc (AIM: SML; USOTC: SMCDF), an international mineral exploration and production company, is delighted to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Cornwall Resources Limited (‘CRL’), has received standout drillhole assay results from CRD034b, including very high-grades and multiple thick intersections. CRD034b was the second drill hole of the ongoing drilling campaign at the Redmoor Tungsten-Tin-Copper Project (‘Redmoor’) in southeast Cornwall.

Downhole Composite Highlights:

Very High-Grade

  • A very high-grade tungsten intersection: 1.10 m @ 7.19% WO3, 0.02% & 1.11% Cu (7.51% WO3.Eq*1) from 579.93 m in CRD034b – amongst the top 10 highest-grade sample results recorded at Redmoor from all previous CRL drilling campaigns.
  • Further very-high-grade sample intervals, inside broader high-grade intersections:
  • 1.05 m @ 4.93% WO3, 0.03% Cu & 0.01% Sn from 458.52 m (4.94% WO3.Eq)
  • 1.00 m @ 2.73% WO3, 0.11% Cu & 0.03% Sn from 466.00 m (2.78% WO3.Eq)
  • 0.70 m @ 2.65% WO3, 2.07% Cu & 0.14% Sn from 485.73 m (3.32% WO3.Eq)
  • 0.50 m @ 1.96% WO3, 0.09% Cu & 0.01% Sn from 534.00 m (1.99% WO3.Eq)
  • 0.75 m @ 1.21% WO3, 4.73% Cu & 0.05% Sn from 583.30 m (2.53% WO3.Eq)

Significant Widths

  • Multiple, very wide, high-grade intersections of tungsten mineralisation (in comparison to global tungsten projects) confirmed within the Redmoor Sheeted Vein System (‘SVS’), including:
    • 15.46 m @ 0.72% WO3, 0.04% Sn & 0.66% Cu (0.93% WO3.Eq) from 456.04 m.
  • Importantly, a deep intersect, which widens the previously modelled thickness of the Redmoor SVS in this zone of the deposit, returning 10.00 m @ 0.92% WO3, 0.02% Sn & 0.78% Cu (1.15% WO3.Eq) from 578.00 m, including the above 1.10m @ 7.19% WO3, and 0.75 m @ 2.53% WO3.Eq sample intervals.
  • Results complement the high-grade ‘exceptional’ intersections from CRD033, adding further high-grade zones of mineralisation with grades exceeding these previous results. High-grade intersections are listed in detail below.

Copper and Tin

  • Strong copper results in several zones, most notably 3.46 m @ 1.25% WO3 plus 1.93% Cu and 0.08% Sn (1.84% WO3.Eq) from 463.54 m, and lode-style copper intervals, including tin, up to 1.00 m @ 2.14% Cu and 1.00% Sn from 515.00 m, adding significant potential value to the polymetallic system.

Silver

  • Silver values of up to 84.8 g/t have been reported within copper-rich zones over a 0.75 m interval. Further work is underway to assess the potential for silver recovery; however, CRL makes no assumptions regarding its recoverability at this stage.

Figure 1: Highlighted high-grade intersection of containing 10.00 m @ 0.92% WO3, 0.02% Sn & 0.78% Cu (1.15% WO3.Eq) from 578.00 m from a zone of multiple stacked mineralised veins and wall rock within the Redmoor SVS deposit.

This high-grade intersection (yellow arrows) comprises 10 individual sample sections (small double arrows) detailed in Appendix 1 below.

Including1.10 m @ 7.19% WO3, 0.02% & 1.11% Cu (7.51% WO3.Eq*1) from 579.93 m

These samples were visibly logged by CRL geologists containing wolframite, chalcopyrite and cassiterite.

Dennis Rowland, CRL Managing Director, said:

‘These results highlight downhole intersections of impressive length and grade, up to 15.00 m at nearly 1% WO3, and significant single sample zones reaching 7.19% WO3 – amongst the top 10 sample intervals by grade recorded at Redmoor to date by the Company.

‘The new results reported outside the existing Redmoor resource model indicate strong potential for material resource growth. Ongoing analysis of samples from additional drillholes is expected to further refine and enhance the understanding of Redmoor’s resource potential.

‘The continuation of very high-grade mineralisation in CRD034b reinforces Redmoor’s status as Europe’s highest-grade undeveloped tungsten resource, and among the highest-grade globally.’

Mark Burnett, SML Executive Director, said:

‘The Board is pleased with the impressive results reported from this drillhole, which highlight the exceptional nature of the Redmoor deposit. Overall, CRD034b has proved very valuable in the short-range continuity test as well as in finding excellent grade intersections. Redmoor sits in a commanding position to be a secure supply of minerals deemed critical to the UK and its peers.’

Cllr Tim Dwelly, Cornwall Council’s Cabinet Member for Economic Regeneration and Investment, said:

‘We’ve invested almost £765,000 through our Good Growth Programme to support the latest drilling operation at Redmoor, and it’s encouraging to see these latest results. Cornwall’s critical minerals sector has enormous potential to create high-quality jobs, attract further private investment and strengthen security of supply for the minerals our economy increasingly relies on. That’s why we’re backing responsible critical minerals projects that we believe can deliver long-term economic value for Cornwall, while helping to meet national demand and deliver against the government’s Industrial Strategy.’

Highlight of CRD034b Intersections:

Laboratory assay results for drillhole CRD034b, the second hole of the 2025 drilling programme, confirm wide zones of high grade mineralisation and multiple sub-zones of very high-grade tungsten mineralisation, including copper, tin and silver, throughout the Redmoor Sheeted Vein System (‘SVS’) deposit intercepted by the drillhole, and also additional mineralised zones outside of the SVS (see Table 2 for sample intersection details), with highlights including:

Laboratory assay results for drillhole CRD034b have returned further exceptional results from the current drilling programme, containing very-high-grade results, with tungsten (WO3) grades reaching 7.19%, copper (Cu) grades reaching 4.73% and tin (Sn) grades reaching 1.01%, from a zone of the deposit known to be lower in tin concentrations, coupled with silver (Ag) grades of up to 84.8 g/t correlated with copper mineralisation. The silver mineralisation encountered is highly encouraging and is currently undergoing further metallurgical testwork to confirm its economic importance with regards to the Redmoor project, prior to modelling as part of the forthcoming Mineral Resource estimate (‘MRE’) update, with further updates and commentary expected soon.

These results continue to exhibit the strong continuity of structure and grade within the SVS orebody, with mineralised continuity confirmed eastwards and correlated to high-grade zones previously drilled in CRD033. The final 35.00 m of CRD034b was successful in drilling a previously untested portion of a projected high-grade zone, this section returned the wide, high-grade interval of 10.00 m @ 0.92% WO3, 0.02% Sn & 0.78% Cu (1.15% WO3.Eq) from 578.00 m, including 1.10 m @ 7.19% WO3, 0.02% & 1.11% Cu (7.51% WO3.Eq*1) from 579.93 m, along with strong grades of silver (Ag) up to 84.8 g/t (Figure 1, above).

Figure 2, include a drillhole trace of CRD034b, the hole was planned as an infill hole to test short spaced continuity of structure and grade between other nearby spaced drillholes. The data from CRD034b and other holes will be used in the assessment for future drill spacings. It also serves to demonstrate that the SVS within this portion of the deposit is wider than previously modelled, containing further high-grade zones of mineralisation.

Figure 2: Plan view of the deposit with the route of CRD034b (in Red), with previous CRL and South West Minerals drillholes (in Black). CRD034b is an infill hole aimed at testing short spaced continuity of structure and grade.

Figure 3, includes a cross-section of the borehole, highlighting reported intersections and the previously modelled high-grade zones that form the basis of the 2019 Redmoor MRE.

Figure 3: Cross-section of CRD034b, including sample intersection grades, and grade bars representing WO3 results. Zones in pink represent the previously modelled high-grade zones that form the basis of Redmoor mineral resource. The modelled high-grade zones towards the bottom of the hole, falls short of the drill holes trajectory, and following the intersection of a further significant width high grade intersection in CRD034b highlights the potential for resource growth should the zone be extended.

Table 2 below, contains the details of the composite sample intersections including sample depths, thickness, metal content, and tungsten equivalent calculations, as well as the mineralisation style recorded by CRL geologists. The tungsten equivalent (WO3. Eq.) highlights the value-add from tin and copper to the tungsten grades of the sample intervals. Appendix 1 includes full details of each sample included in these composite intersections.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping biotechnology and healthcare, unlocking the secrets hidden within complex biological data.

Machine learning in genomics and proteomics is transforming how diseases are detected, monitored and treated. Central to this revolution are innovative platforms tackling some of medicine’s toughest challenges, integrating AI with molecular biology to accelerate drug development, improve diagnostics and personalize patient care.

This wave of AI-driven biotechnology not only promises to improve lives by addressing unmet medical needs but also offers investors a rare opportunity to support scalable, data-rich solutions, setting the stage for potential disruptive growth in healthcare.

AI unlocking biological complexity: From data to decision

The challenge of interpreting vast amounts of biological data, which has long slowed progress in disease detection and drug discovery, is precisely where AI offers a valuable solution.

For example, liquid biopsy, which analyzes DNA fragments circulating in the blood, exemplifies AI’s power to break new ground. Unlike invasive tissue biopsies, liquid biopsy offers a minimally invasive window into the body’s molecular makeup.

However, signals in blood can be extremely subtle, especially for chronic diseases like liver conditions, which have eluded detection with older methods. Transformer-based AI models adapted to biological data can analyze millions of molecular interactions simultaneously, uncovering faint patterns and signatures that traditional methods miss, enabling early detection and personalized diagnostics that can dramatically improve outcomes.

Hepta, a liquid biopsy company developed by experts from Illumina (NASDAQ:ILMN) and GRAIL, Inc. (NASDAQ:GRAL), has created an AI platform that analyzes epigenetic patterns in circulating cell-free DNA.

The company recently came out of stealth mode with US$6.7 million in seed funding led by Felicis Ventures and Illumina Ventures, among others. Its technology is designed to replace invasive biopsies with simple blood draws, showing strong early clinical results for detecting liver disease.

CEO Hamed Amini described how Hepta’s platform is uniquely designed from the ground up to deliver a specialized approach that sets it apart from earlier AI tools used in cancer research, opening the door to new possibilities for broad applications.

“I think in the not-distant future, we’re going to be at a place where generating ample genomic data is truly not going to be a cost barrier anymore,” he said. “Once you get there, I envision a super comprehensive central assay that captures all this epigenetic signal from a blood sample (to determine patient eligibility for certain treatments). You can expand this to oncology and other chronic diseases down the line, hopefully.’

AI accelerates drug discovery and personalizes cancer care

AI is also drastically transforming cancer care by accelerating drug discovery and development, with the potential to revolutionize medicine, according to an editorial in the Lancet Oncology. Author Abhishek Mehta observes that many academic cancer centers are collaborating with private companies to use AI for optimizing drug development, trials and analytics.

For example, the cancer drug BBO-10203 was developed by researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research in collaboration with private biotech company BridgeBio Oncology Therapeutics. Developers used advanced computing and AI to go from conception to human trials in just six years. This is a stark improvement to the 10 to 15-year timeline of the traditional drug development process.

Other key innovators include Rakovina Therapeutics (TSXV:RKV), a Canadian biotech company, which is using its AI platforms, Deep-Docking and Enki, to help discover drugs that target the DNA damage repair process in cancer cells.

One of its main programs is a therapy that blocks a key protein that cancer cells need to survive. Rakovina has found promising candidates and is working with top cancer research centers to move these treatments toward human trials.

Recently, it has partnered with a biotech company specializing in advanced lipid nanoparticle technology designed with AI assistance to develop AI-discovered cancer therapies. The company has also expanded access for US investors through new trading eligibility.

Beyond optimizing drug candidates and delivery mechanisms, AI is also being deployed to develop targeted therapeutic strategies.

“The next improvement in human life and survival comes from the next platform shift, and we really believe that metabolism is that, and this trial would allow us to really open that door for people in their minds,” Parikh explained, adding that the complexity of metabolic function necessitates the need for machine learning. “There are no approaches around metabolism and cancer that can thrive and survive and be reproducible without leveraging machine learning.”

Personalized, data-driven healthcare’s expanding frontier

Looking ahead, AI is reshaping drug development pipelines, with techniques like DeepDR and SNF-CVAE expected to enhance drug discovery and repurposing, speeding up clinical timelines.

For investors, the economic implications of such efficiency gains are profound: faster approvals and lower development costs can significantly increase returns while reducing risk.

Not only will AI tools help pharmaceutical companies select promising candidates faster and design smarter trials, but industry insiders maintain that they can eventually help physicians personalize therapies to patient-specific profiles.

In Faeth’s case, its AI-driven MetabOS platform reduces the data related to cancer metabolism to a smaller, more tractable set of potential targets. Then, CRISPR gene-editing technology allows further experimental validation and refinement to identify the most promising therapeutic candidates with high precision.

“There’s a cohort of patients .. .that are really benefiting,” Parikh said of the DICE trial. “And so we’re going to figure out who those patients are, and then make sure physicians are getting those patients on it early so they can derive the maximum benefit.”

However, widespread adoption faces hurdles, including regulatory pathways and data quality standards; still, growing investor interest and strategic partnerships indicate strong momentum in overcoming these barriers. As Parikh said, “If the data … (are good), more capital will come.”

For example, Danish medical AI company Corti is increasingly finding traction by offering healthcare institutions “AI infrastructure” designed specifically for medical use cases

Governments are also investing heavily in AI for disease research, exemplified by the US$500 billion US Stargate Project, which includes funding allocated to AI-driven biomedical research and infrastructure development; and the UK’s £19 million PharosAI initiative supporting AI-powered cancer research and clinical innovation.

The bottom line

AI-driven platforms are on the frontline of healthcare innovation.

For investors with an eye toward the future, this is an opportunity to support transformative science while participating in a market with tremendous growth potential. This is not just about technology; it’s about changing how medicine is practiced and ultimately, how lives are improved and saved.

On April 24th, 2024, CopAur announced the receipt of $1 million in cash and 3 million Omega shares from Omega, which along with agreed upon exploration expenditures and other considerations, allowed Omega to earn a 51% interest in the Williams property. On November 12th, 2024, Omega exercised its option to acquire a 51% interest in the property.

On November 20th, 2025, the Parties entered into a second amendment to the Option Agreement whereby Omega has the option to acquire the remaining 49% interest in the Williams Property from CopAur on or before December 4th, 2025, by issuing to CopAur, 3.3 million common shares in the capital of Omega.

CopAur is confident that the Williams Property, located in BC’s re-emerging Toodoggone District and the Golden Horseshoe, which is widely regarded as a tier-one exploration region, holds tremendous, untapped mineral value as confirmed during Omega’s 2024 drill program that returned values of 1.69 g/t Au over 104 metres and 2.16 g/t Au. over 96.9 metres. Omega has the requisite skill set to further develop this property, and this agreement allows CopAur to concentrate our efforts on our Nevada properties. We look forward to following developments at the Williams Property as a significant shareholder of Omega,’ commented Andrew Neale, CEO.
