Stefanik asks AG Bondi to probe medical charity over Hamas propaganda claims

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., requested that Attorney General Pam Bondi undertake an investigation into Doctors Without Borders under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

In a copy of Stefanik’s letter reviewed by Fox News Digital, she accuses Doctors Without Borders, often known by its French acronym MSF, of having gone on a media offensive against U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, accusing the organization of ‘orchestrated killing.’ 

Stefanik claimed the attacks ‘mirror propaganda continuously pushed by Hamas and threaten to undermine the only large-scale humanitarian food operation currently working in Gaza.’ 

GHF has distributed 167 million meals to Gazans since it started operations in May. During the same period, less than 18% of aid sent into Gaza by the U.N. has reached its destination due to theft and armed looting, per the United Nations Office for Project Services.

Stefanik stated in her letter to Bondi that by ‘using its platform and resources to amplify Hamas-aligned disinformation,’ MSF ‘may cross well into unlawful activity.’ Stefanik noted, the Anti-Terrorism Act ‘makes clear that no individual or organization may provide material support to a designated terrorist group, including through propaganda.’

Stefanik pointed out several indicators that demonstrate MSF ‘are in fact not neutral in the Gaza conflict and in fact only seem to promote Hamas-supported rhetoric.’ She said MSF ‘has made no reference to hostages illegally held by Hamas in Gaza,’ and has not ‘campaigned for them to receive medical treatment.’

Stefanik described several hostages who required specialized care. One hostage was being treated for cancer on Oct. 7. Another lost his hand during a grenade explosion at the Nova festival. A third was kidnapped while nine months pregnant and gave birth while held captive. ‘None is included in MSF’s ‘humanitarian’ advocacy,’ Stefanik said.

Stefanik also called into question the ‘extremist actions and rhetoric’ of MSF staff, which have led to criticism of the organization. In one case, after MSF lamented the death of a staffer who was killed in Gaza in June 2024; the Israel Defense Forces confirmed he was a rocket expert for Palestinian Islamic Jihad. In another, a staffer publicly called for Palestinians to ‘fight and die as martyrs’ according to the French publicationLe Journal du Dimanche in March 2024. 

Stefanik also questions whether MSF, a registered 501(c)(3), has violated the ‘strict prohibitions’ that come with nonprofit status. She asked that Bondi’s office review MSF’s ‘political attacks’ and, if necessary, refer the group to the Internal Revenue Service. 

‘This is not a matter of routine oversight,’ Stefanik concluded. ‘It is a matter of national security, the protection of U.S. taxpayers and donors, and the defense of legitimate humanitarian organizations in one of the most dangerous conflict zones in the world. President Trump has made clear that the United States will never tolerate support for terrorist organizations in any form, and this case demands that same clarity and resolve.’

MSF did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s questions about Stefanik’s letter.

Thune pans Democrats’ shutdown stance as ‘borderline pathological,’ ‘like a disease’

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said he believes Senate Democrats are posturing for a government shutdown to score a political win with their base, and he’s trying to prevent it.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Thune argued that Democrats, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., lack a real reason for not backing the GOP’s short-term government funding extension other than to appease the ‘far left.’

Thune said that in March, when Democrats last joined Republicans to keep the government open, Schumer and his caucus made a ‘very different argument’ about averting a partial government shutdown, but the move was unpopular with their political base.

‘It’s getting to the point now where their base [has] got so much influence in the party, and they’re so demanding on just resisting and fighting everything, with respect to the Trump administration, that they can’t see straight,’ Thune said.  

‘It is borderline pathological. It’s like a disease,’ he continued. ‘They just — that this is something with which they’re afflicted, and I think it really blurs their vision. And I think they run the risk with this, again, of putting themselves in a position of where they are viewed as the party that’s trying to block the government from being funded.’

House Republicans unveiled their stopgap bill, known as a continuing resolution (CR), earlier this week that would keep the government open under current spending levels until Nov. 21.

The bill is ‘clean,’ meaning there aren’t partisan policy or spending riders, save for the millions meant for beefing up security measures for lawmakers, the judicial branch and the administration, and funding meant for Washington, D.C.’s budget.

While the Republican-controlled House is expected to pass the bill on Friday, the Senate is a different story. Despite Thune commanding a majority in the upper chamber, he will need Senate Democrats to support the bill. And so far, they aren’t budging.

Thune contended that the bill is everything that Democrats — when they controlled the Senate under former President Joe Biden — dreamed of: a clean, short-term bill. But the issue at hand now is a matter of communication.

Schumer has accused Thune of not speaking with him, or Senate Democrats more broadly, about the bill, and he has labeled the GOP’s push to avert a partial government shutdown a partisan effort led by President Donald Trump.

But Thune said he did try to talk to Schumer last week when the GOP was gearing up to change Senate rules to blast through Democrats’ blockade of Trump’s nominees.

Thune went to Schumer on the floor to discuss the then-ongoing talks between Republicans and Democrats on a since-failed deal for confirmations, but he recalled that the Democratic leader brushed him off.

‘He couldn’t get out of the conversation fast enough,’ Thune said. ‘He was, like, running off the floor. So, I mean, there was certainly an opportunity there to say, ‘We need to sit down and talk about, you know, a CR and how to fund the government.’ I just think this is more political posturing.’

‘That’s the way it’s supposed to work. But the way Schumer likes it to work, and I think this is, again, part of his business model, is you go into his back office, behind closed doors and write this, you know, in the dark of night, and that’s just not the way we’re doing business,’ he continued.

Senate Democrats unveiled their own counter-proposal to the GOP’s bill late Wednesday night that includes a slew of their priorities not included in the clean CR, like permanently extending expiring Obamacare premium subsidies, undoing the ‘big, beautiful bill’s’ Medicaid cuts, and clawing back the canceled funding for NPR and PBS.

Thune said that some of the issues that Democrats were pushing in a short-term extension ‘don’t fit there,’ but that conversations, particularly on finding a deal for the healthcare insurance tax credits, could be had later on.

Still, he viewed Democrats’ resistance as not ‘serious,’ given that the end goal of the short-term extension is to actually pass the dozen spending bills to fund the government — a feat that hasn’t been pulled off in Congress since the 1990s.

The House and Senate are currently working on a path forward for three spending bills, which both chambers have already passed. Thune hoped that if lawmakers were able to avert a partial shutdown, that work could continue with the remaining nine funding bills.

‘This will test the seriousness of whether or not they actually want a real appropriations process, and whether they want to have a bipartisan way of funding the government,’ Thune said.

‘And if the Democrats would give us consent to get on them and work with us, we could have a bipartisan process on the floor like we did with those other three, and we could fund most of the government the old-fashioned way, which is the way it’s supposed to be done,’ he continued.

But before any of that can happen, the bill has to make its way to the upper chamber. Thune is leaving the door open for the Senate to work into the weekend, but the Sept. 30 deadline is fast-approaching.

Congress also has a recess scheduled for next week to observe the Jewish New Year, and a vast majority of Republicans will be in Arizona for conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s memorial service. 

There are also several procedural hurdles in the Senate that will have to be dealt with, further bogging down the process. Ultimately, Thune believed that it would be ‘up to the Democrats.’

‘If they want to put a vote up sooner, later, and our members again — if the Democrats are going to fight us and make us do this the hard way — may just decide, let’s just set this up for votes,’ Thune said. ‘When we get back here, and we get up against the deadline, when it becomes real, then we use live ammo.’

Fox News Digital reached out to Schumer’s office for comment, but did not immediately hear back.

Trump administration asks Supreme Court to allow firing of Fed Governor Lisa Cook

The Trump administration on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to set aside lower court decisions barring President Donald Trump from dismissing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.

The new request, which was expected, came on the heels of Cook’s participation in the crucial, two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) rate-setting meeting. For months, Trump has pressed the Federal Reserve to cut rates in order to help spur the nation’s economic growth. 

 

On Monday, the U.S. Court of Appeals blocked Trump from immediately firing Lisa Cook from her role on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, clearing the way for her to participate in the FOMC meeting.

The outcome of the FOMC meeting impacts every American, with knock-down effects felt in borrowing costs from everything from mortgages to credit cards. 

‘The president lawfully removed Lisa Cook for cause,’ White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement on Sept. 15. ‘The administration will appeal this decision and looks forward to ultimate victory on the issue.’ 

The D.C. Appeals Court ruling also came as the Senate narrowly voted 48-47 Monday night to approve Trump’s Fed board nominee, Stephen Miran. He participated in the FOMC meeting alongside Cook.

Trump last month tapped Miran — who currently leads the White House Council of Economic Advisers — to fill the seat vacated by Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler, following her resignation in August. He will finish the remainder of Kugler’s term, which ends on Jan. 31, 2026.

Last week, U.S. District Court Judge Jia Cobb temporarily blocked Cook’s firing, allowing her to continue in her current role for now. She said Trump likely violated Cook’s due process rights and that the Federal Reserve statute does not account for conduct that occurred before a governor took office, like the mortgage fraud alleged against Cook.

The allegations originated with Bill Pulte, a Trump appointee to the federal agency that regulates Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. 

Pulte tied Cook to a trio of properties in Michigan, Georgia, and Massachusetts, which prompted scrutiny over whether Cook had misrepresented how the homes would be used. The three mortgage loans were issued in 2021, before she was nominated by former President Joe Biden to join the Fed board. 

Pulte made two separate referrals to the Justice Department over Cook’s mortgage applications.

Trump seized on those allegations and ousted Cook on Aug. 25, which prompted her to sue him in federal court three days later. Her lawsuit named as defendants Trump, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

The suit, which was filed on Aug. 28, centered on whether Trump satisfied the ‘for cause’ provisions under federal law required to remove a sitting Fed governor, is the first of its kind. Cook’s lawsuit does not address the allegations that she listed multiple houses as a primary residence on mortgage filings. 

The Justice Department opened a criminal investigation on Sept. 4 into Cook over allegations of mortgage application fraud. Her lawyer, Abbe Lowell, wrote in a filing on Sept. 2 that she ‘did not ever commit mortgage fraud.’

Cook’s lawyers have also stressed both in court filings and in arguments before Judge Cobb last month the novelty of Trump’s attempt to oust her — a move they argued lacked sufficient cause, and could be used as a dangerous pretext to oust other members of independent federal boards.

Sun Summit Strengthens Cu-Au Porphyry Potential at the JD Project, Toodoggone District: Defines an Open-Ended 8.5 km Long IP Anomaly

Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SMN,OTC:SMREF) (OTCQB: SMREF) (‘Sun Summit’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to report results from a recently completed induced polarization (IP) survey across the JD Porphyry Trend at the JD Project, Toodoggone Mining District, north-central British Columbia.

Highlights:

  • New IP data enhances the JD Porphyry Trend: New chargeability and resistivity data demonstrate strong prospectivity for porphyry-related copper-gold mineralization along the JD Porphyry trend.

  • Follow-up programs ongoing: Geological mapping and prospecting surveys along the McClair Creek alteration zone are ongoing. Data from recently completed soil surveys along parts of the JD Porphyry trend are being compiled and interpreted to refine drill targets.

  • Phase II IP Survey: a subsequent phase of closely-spaced IP survey south of the Creek Zone is newly completed and results are being integrated with the 2024 IP survey historical data and with the current 3D model of the Creek zone.

‘We have now defined a broad 8.5 km long chargeability-high anomaly at JD, significantly enhancing the project’s copper-gold porphyry potential along the McClair Creek alteration zone,’ said Niel Marotta, CEO of Sun Summit Minerals. ‘This impressive alteration zone transects the JD Porphyry trend, yet remarkably, only five historic drill holes have tested it. The vast majority of this large-scale anomaly remains untested and represents a high-priority area for further target definition and exploration.’

The JD Porphyry Trend IP Survey

The IP survey across the JD Porphyry trend consisted of over 31-line kilometers across eight northeast-southwest oriented lines. Line spacing varied from 500 to 1,200 meters depending on design depth of earlier survey arrays (Figure 1). The 2025 survey was designed to characterise and detect subsurface sulfide mineralization associated with pronounced magnetic anomalies and strong hydrothermal alteration observed along McClair creek (see February 5th, 2025, news release). The IP survey expanded on previous surveys that defined a north-south trending, open ended, high-chargeability anomaly. New and historic data was compiled and inverted (Figures 1 and 2).

The broadly, north-south oriented >18 mv/v McClair Creek chargeability-high anomaly spans 8.5 by ~2 kilometers and is open to the north and south (Figure 2). The broad anomaly is locally spatially coincident with discrete strong magnetic-high anomalies (Figure 2) and near the Belle South target, a strong resistivity-high anomaly. The intensity of the chargeability anomaly increases with depth, particularly to the north where the anomaly increases to +40 mv/v near the Fericrete and Oxide Peak targets (Figure 1).

Besides five widely-spaced drill holes near the McClair target in 2013 and 2018 (Figure 1), no other chargeability anomaly along the 8.5 km trend has been drill tested. Results from the five McClair holes (see February 5th, 2025 news release) suggests the entire trend may also be prospective for porphyry-related mineralization.

The McClair Creek anomaly is along trend, 17 km north of Amarc Resources’ Aurora discovery (Figure 3). Porphyry-related copper and gold mineralization at Aurora is spatially associated with strong coincident chargeability-high and resistivity-high anomalies centered on a magnetic-high anomaly1.

Next Steps

This new chargeability and resistivity data supports the strong prospectivity for partially concealed, porphyry-related copper-gold mineralization proximal to the McClair Creek alteration zone (Figure 1). Additional IP surveying is warranted to infill widely spaced lines and to extend the survey footprint to the north and south (Figure 3).

Data from recently completed soil surveys along parts of the JD Porphyry trend are being compiled and interpreted to refine drill targets. Data from these surveys together with results from ongoing geological mapping and prospecting along the McClair Creek alteration zone (Figure 1) will be used to inform drill targeting and testing.

    Osisko Gaspé Expansion Hole Intersects 133.7 Metres Averaging 1.04% Cu

    Osisko Metals Incorporated (the ‘ Company ‘ or ‘ Osisko Metals ‘) ( TSX: OM,OTC:OMZNF ; OTCQX: OMZNF ; FRANKFURT: 0B51 ) is pleased to announce new drill results from the Gaspé Copper Project, located in the Gaspé Peninsula of Eastern Québec.

    Osisko Metals CEO Robert Wares commented: ‘The growth potential of the Gaspé Copper deposit continues to be demonstrated with today’s new high-grade results. Holes 30-1106 and 30-1109 reveal the presence of a thick, higher grade tabular zone lying at depth around the E Zone horizon near the eastern margin of our 2024 MRE model. This tabular zone may extend significantly to the east if it correlates to historical drilling results. Our expansion drilling is exceeding expectations, hand-in-hand with the solid infill results on our main resource area.’

    New analytical results are presented below (see Table 1), including 26 mineralized intercepts from six new drill holes. Infill intercepts are located inside the 2024 MRE model ( see November 14, 2024 news release ), and are focused on upgrading inferred mineral resources to measured or indicated categories, as applicable. Expansion intercepts are located outside the 2024 MRE model and may potentially lead to additional resources that will be classified appropriately within the next MRE update. Some of the reported intercepts have contiguous shallower infill as well as deeper expansion (noted on Table 1 below as ‘Both’). Maps showing hole locations are available at www.osiskometals.com .

    Highlights:

    • Drill hole 30-1110
      • 1091.5 metres averaging 0.20% Cu (infill and expansion)
    • Drill hole 30-1109
      • 133.7 metres averaging 1.04% Cu (expansion)
    • Drill hole 30-1106
      • 159.1 metres averaging 0.45% Cu (expansion)

    Discussion

    Drill holes 30-1103 and 30-1108, both located near the western margin of the 2024 MRE model, cut multiple intersections of mineralized material, 20 to 168 metres thick, distributed in ‘layer cake’ fashion from surface to a vertical depth of 854 and 900 metres, respectively.

    Drill hole 30-1106, located near the eastern margin of the 2024 MRE model, cut unmineralized material to a depth of about 600 metres, followed by four mineralized intervals to a vertical depth of 1004 metres. These include a higher-grade interval of 33.8 metres averaging 1.04% Cu and 3.60 g/t Ag located at the level of (and immediately below) the E Zone skarn horizon.

    Drill hole 30-1109, also located near the eastern margin of the 2024 MRE model, cut unmineralized material to a depth of about 460 metres, followed by three mineralized intervals to a vertical depth of 860 metres. These also include a higher-grade interval of 133.7 metres averaging 1.04% Cu and 6.48 g/t Ag located in skarn and porcellanites above and below the E Zone skarn horizon.

    Both 30-1106 and 30-1109 suggest potential for the presence of a higher-grade tabular deposit around the E Zone horizon that, when combined with historical drilling data, indicates a potential extension eastward towards the previously mined E-32 Zone over a lateral distance of 800 metres.

    Drill hole 30-1110, located on top of Copper Mountain near the central part of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 1091.5 metres averaging 0.20% Cu, 1.52 g/t Ag, and 0.017% Mo (0.28% CuEq), including 735.6 metres averaging 0.20% Cu, 1.50 g/t Ag, and 0.015% Mo (infill) and 355.9 metres averaging 0.21% Cu, 1.55 g/t Ag, and 0.021% Mo (expansion), extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 1100 metres and again confirming continuity of mineralization in the core of the deposit.

    Drill hole 30-1111, located immediately west of Copper Mountain near the southern lip of the pit, intersected 304.5 metres (from surface) averaging 0.17% Cu and 0.80 g/t Ag followed by three more intersections that included expansion at depth of 206.3 metres averaging 0.33% Cu, 2.39 g/t Ag, and 0.016% Mo, extending mineralization in this area to a vertical depth of 936 metres. The central porphyry intrusion was then intersected and returned 76 metres averaging negligible copper (0.08% Cu) but significant molybdenum (0.023% Mo).

    Mineralization at Gaspé Copper is of porphyry copper/skarn type and occurs as disseminations and stockworks of chalcopyrite with pyrite or pyrrhotite and minor bornite and molybdenite. At least five retrograde vein/stockwork mineralizing events have been recognized at Copper Mountain, which overprint earlier prograde skarn and porcellanite-hosted mineralization throughout the Gaspé Copper system. Porcellanite is a historical mining term used to describe bleached, pale green to white potassic-altered hornfels. Subvertical stockwork mineralization dominates at Copper Mountain whereas prograde bedding-replacement mineralization, that is mostly stratigraphically controlled, dominates in the area of Needle Mountain, Needle East, and Copper Brook. High molybdenum grades (up to 0.5% Mo) were locally obtained in both the C Zone and E Zone skarns away from Copper Mountain.

    The 2022 to 2024 Osisko Metals drill programs were focused on defining open-pit resources within the Copper Mountain stockwork mineralization ( see May 6, 2024 MRE press release ). Extending the resource model south of Copper Mountain into the poorly-drilled prograde skarn/porcellanite portion of the system subsequently led to a significantly increased resource, mostly in the Inferred category ( see November 14, 2024 MRE press release ).

    The current drill program is designed to convert the November 2024 MRE to Measured and Indicated categories, as well as test the expansion of the system deeper into the stratigraphy and laterally to the south and southwest towards Needle East and Needle Mountain respectively. The November 2024 MRE was limited at depth to the base of the L1 skarn horizon (C Zone), and all mineralized intersections below this horizon represent potential depth extensions to the deposit, to be included in the next scheduled MRE update in Q1 2026.

    All holes are being drilled sub-vertically into the altered calcareous stratigraphy, which dips 20 to 25 degrees to the north. The L1 (C Zone) the L2 (E Zone) skarn/marble horizons were intersected in most holes, as well as intervening porcellanites that host the bulk of the disseminated copper mineralization.

    Angkor Resources Advances Community Development In Ratanakiri, Cambodia

    (TheNewswire)

    GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA TheNewswire – (September 18, 2025): Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK,OTC:ANKOF) (‘ANGKOR’ OR ‘THE COMPANY’) proudly announces  its continuing community development program with basic infrastructure for transportation improvements.

    Angkor has led community development across its multiple projects since it first entered Cambodia, believing that collaboration with communities to jointly find solutions to their needs is  instrumental in advancing successful projects.  Management believes that building trust is a component of making communities stronger, and that relationship affects the economics of every project Angkor undertakes.

    Angkor’s agreement with the Indigenous Communities covers listening and collaborating for solutions in a variety of areas from education, water and sanitation, agricultural improvements, land use, numeracy and literacy, as well as infrastructure.   Angkor is rarely asked for assistance on materials for infrastructure as the community generally contributes what the members have access to in order to build out a structure.   Like anywhere across waterways, bridges are an important element of infrastructure.  In remote areas without access to steel beams, communities stretch the resources within their network to ensure their people have the ability to transport themselves and their wares to market.

    Figure 1 Community bridge built by Indigenous communities in Ratanakiri requiring repairs

    The communities asked for assistance with repairing and reinforcing the bridge.  They undertake the work, source the beams in the forest and cut, transport, and customize them at site.  In this case, the plans were laid out by the community construction team and Angkor was asked to contribute $200 towards steel components to help secure the structure. As a foreign company, Angkor provides encouragement and participation to the community as they identify and create their own solutions to community issues. This model continues to position Angkor in a trusted role.

    IsoEnergy and Purepoint Intersect up to 8.1% U3O8 at Dorado Project

    IsoEnergy Ltd. (NYSE American: ISOU) (TSX: ISO) (‘IsoEnergy’) and Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (TSXV: PTU,OTC:PTUUF) (OTC: PTUUF) (‘Purepoint’) today announced the receipt of partial assay results from the summer drill program at the companies’ 5050 joint venture Dorado Project (the ‘ Dorado Project ‘), located on the southeastern margin of Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin. The highlight comes from drill hole PG25-07A, which returned 2.1 metres grading 1.6% U₃O₈, including 0.4 metres at 8.1% U₃O₈ and an additional 4.9 metres at 0.52% U₃O₈ representing the most significant assay intervals reported to date from the Nova discovery zone (see Table 1 below).

    ‘Eight percent uranium is an excellent grade from the centre of the very strong radioactive interval drilled by hole 7A,’ said Chris Frostad , President and CEO of Purepoint Uranium. ‘These assays reinforce the strength of this newly discovered system and provide a solid anchor point as we continue to test the mineralized structure in all directions.’

    Highlights:

    • Drill hole PG25-07A intersected 0.4 metres at 8.1% U₃O₈ from within 2.1 metres of 1.6% U₃O₈ at the Nova discovery zone. The hole also returned an additional 4.9 metres at 0.52% U₃O₈, that included 0.4 metres at 2.9% U₃O₈.
    • Select samples from PG25-07A were fast-tracked for assay to confirm
      uranium grades and mineral composition. Full assays from all holes remain pending.
    • A total of 5,030 metres were completed across 11 holes before wildfires curtailed the planned 5,400-metre summer drill program.
    • Additional drilling at Serin and Turaco targets, within the Dorado Project, has provided valuable data for calibration of the project’s geophysics.
    • Celeste project drill program deferred due to ongoing wildfire risks across northern Saskatchewan .
    • Follow-up programs planned for early 2026 pending final assays and geologic/geophysical interpretation.

    Despite having time and budget remaining, the program was cut short due to regional wildfires that limited helicopter access and created hazardous field conditions. As a result, drilling at the nearby Celeste project, also a Purepoint-IsoEnergy joint venture, has been deferred to a future program.

    Turaco Grid Drilling

    Two holes (TUR25-01 and TUR25-02) totaling 832 metres were completed at the Turaco Grid, targeting two parallel, newly reinterpreted airborne electromagnetic (EM) conductors within Zone 3. Neither hole encountered anomalous radioactivity, but both the results will help calibrate the Dorado Project’s updated geophysical model. The highest radioactivity returned from the downhole probe was 578 CPS.

    Serin Grid Drilling

    Two holes (SL25-10 and SL25-11) were drilled at the Serin Grid, totaling 1,032 metres. While uranium mineralization was not encountered in SL25-10, anomalous radioactivity was hosted by a 6-metre-wide chloritized pegmatite in SL25-11 and returned up to 1,200 CPS from the downhole gamma probe. The drill hole results provide valuable insights into the basement geology and structural context that will guide future targeting.

    Next Steps

    Purepoint and IsoEnergy are now awaiting the full suite of geochemical assays and structural interpretations for the 2025 drill program. The results will support detailed planning for follow-up drilling in 2026, focused on expanding Nova and testing priority corridors across the broader Dorado Project property.

    About the Dorado JV Project

    The Dorado Project (Figure 3) is the flagship project of the IsoEnergy-Purepoint 50/50 joint venture, a partnership encompassing more than 98,000 hectares of prime uranium exploration ground. The Dorado Project includes the former Turnor Lake , Geiger, Edge, and Full Moon properties, all underlain by graphite-bearing lithologies and fault structures favorable for uranium deposition.

    Recent drilling by IsoEnergy east of the Hurricane Deposit has intersected strongly elevated radioactivity in multiple holes. The anomalous radioactivity confirms the continuity of fertile graphitic rock package and further highlights the opportunity for additional high-grade discoveries across the region.

    The shallow unconformity depths across the Dorado Project property—typically between 30 and 300 metres—allow for highly efficient drilling and rapid follow-up on results.

    Gamma Logging and Geochemical Assaying

    A Mount Sopris 2PGA-1000 downhole total gamma probe was utilized for radiometric surveying. All drill intercepts are core width and true thickness is yet to be determined.

    Core samples are submitted to the Saskatchewan Research Council (‘ SRC ‘) Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon . The SRC facility is independent of IsoEnergy and Purepoint and is ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (scope of accreditation #537). The samples are analyzed for a multi-element suite, including uranium, using partial and total digestion and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) mass spectroscopy (MS) and optical emission spectroscopy (OES) methods. Boron sample analysis includes by fusion in a Na2O2/NaCO3 flux. followed by solution in deionized water and analysis by ICP-OES. The U 3 O 8 % values reported here are derived from uranium-total (Ut) results measured by total digestion preparation followed by ICP-OES analysis. The Ut results are reported by SRC in parts per million (ppm) and are converted to U 3 O 8 % by multiplying by 1.17924 and dividing by 10,000.

    The basement rock drill core is NQ in size and samples are created in the field by spitting the core in half. Field duplicate samples are also created in the field by spitting every 30th sample of remaining core; one quarter is sent to the laboratory and one quarter of the core remains in the core box. Data verification includes internal SRC laboratory quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC), blanks, comparison of results of the duplicate samples and variance of standard samples.

    NevGold Announces Updated Open-Pit, Heap-Leach Gold Mineral Resource Including 1,186,000 ozs Indicated and 548,000 ozs Inferred At Nutmeg Mountain in Idaho

    Nevgold Corp. (‘ NevGold ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) ( TSXV:NAU,OTC:NAUFF) (OTCQX:NAUFF) (Frankfurt:5E50 ) is pleased to announce an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (‘ MRE ‘) for the Nutmeg Mountain gold project (the ‘ Project ‘, ‘ Nutmeg Mountain ‘) in Idaho.

    Key Highlights

    • Open-Pit, Oxide, Heap-Leach Gold Mineral Resource in the Western USA: 1.19 Mozs of Indicated Resources at 0.50 g/t Au (74.2 Mt) and 548 kozs of Inferred Resources at 0.34 g/t Au (49.8 Mt). (Table 1, Figure 1, Figure 2)
    • Higher Grade Mineralization Within the Resource: increasing the cut-off grade from the base case of 0.20 g/t Au to 0.60 g/t Au, the Project has 560 kozs of Indicated Resources at 0.92 g/t Au , and 85 kozs of Inferred Resources at 0.87 g/t Au . The higher grade mineralization starts at surface as seen in Figure 2 and Figure 3, and is within the 0.20 g/t Au cut-off grade MRE. To date, the Company has not completed any mine scheduling studies on the MRE. Exploring for more potential high-grade mineralization will be a key focus as the project is advanced with further drilling and subsequent resource estimates.
    • Significant Growth Captured Over Last 24 Months: compared to the 2023 MRE, the base case pit-constrained indicated tonnage increased by over 18% and inferred by over 100%, with further upside identified with high priority drill targets.
    • Mineralization Starts at Surface with Low Strip Ratio: mineralization at Nutmeg Mountain starts at surface. The strip ratio of the project based on conceptual pit-shells is expected to be less than 1:1 , which is extremely low for an open-pit, oxide, heap-leach gold project. (Figure 2, Figure 3)
    • Tier One Jurisdiction: the Project is located in southwest Idaho, which is a favorable mining jurisdiction. (Figure 4, Figure 5)

    NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments: ‘This is another important milestone for NevGold and the Nutmeg Mountain gold project in Idaho as it further validates the quality of the asset located in a tier-one mining jurisdiction. We are pleased with the results of the updated MRE, as it illustrates the size and heap-leach grade of this at-surface, open-pit oxide gold project in the Western USA. The updated MRE also further validates the strong growth potential of mineralization at the Project, which remains open in multiple directions. We look forward to drilling the highly prospective targets that we have identified at surface and at depth. After completion of this MRE, we plan to advance to a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) to further advance the Project to the next stage of development. We have an extremely favorable macroeconomic situation with the gold price and momentum in the US to advance high-quality, domestic mineral projects . ‘

    Notes:

    1. Effective date of this mineral resource estimate is August 29, 2025.
    2. All mineral resources have been estimated in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum definitions, as required under National Instrument 43-101 (‘ NI 43-101 ‘). The Mineral Resource Statement was prepared by Greg Mosher, P. Geo (Global Mineral Resource Services, ‘ GMRS ‘) in accordance with NI 43-101.
    3. Mineral Resources reported demonstrate a reasonable prospect of eventual economic extraction through additional exploration, as required under NI 43-101. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the estimated Mineral Resources will be converted into Mineral Reserves. The potential development of the Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, marketing, and other relevant issues.
    4. Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.20 g/t Au for an open-pit mining scenario. Cut-off grades are based on a price of US$2350/oz gold, and a number of operating cost and recovery assumptions, including a reasonable contingency factor. Metallurgical recoveries of 80% were used. Densities based on lithology were assigned.
    5. Ounce (troy) = metric tonnes x grade / 31.10348. All numbers have been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate.
    6. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Mineral Resources are uncertain in nature and there has not been sufficient work to define these Inferred Mineral Resources as Indicated or Measured Mineral Resources. It is reasonably expected that many of the Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration, however, there is no assurance that further exploration will result in all or any part of the Inferred Mineral Resources being converted into Indicated Mineral Resources.
    7. Tonnages and ounces in the tables are rounded to the nearest thousand and hundred, respectively. Numbers may not total due to rounding.

    Nutmeg Mountain – Summary
    Nutmeg Mountain is a low-sulphidation epithermal gold deposit located in southwest Idaho, approximately 20 kilometers east of Weiser, Idaho, and 120 kilometers northwest of Boise, Idaho. The Project is approximately 1,724 hectares in size, which is comprised of 210 federal unpatented claims, 12 patented claims, and 2 private leases. The Project has 940 core, reverse circulation (‘RC’), and rotary drill holes totaling over 71,625 meters of drilling.

    Nutmeg Mountain – Additional Exploration Potential
    The work completed to date by the Company has identified several high priority drill targets for future drilling. Historical drilling was mainly focused on the outcropping and near-surface disseminated mineralization, which is primarily located on the patented mining claims and other privately owned ground. (Figure 1) NevGold has identified numerous additional near-surface gold targets on the unpatented mining claims surrounding the private ground. Additionally, the average drill hole depth at the Project is less than 75 meters, and to date the potential high-grade feeder veins typically associated with low-sulphidation epithermal gold systems have yet to be identified. Discovering additional near-surface disseminated gold mineralization and the potential high-grade feeder structures will continue to be the focus of NevGold’s ongoing exploration.

    Nutmeg Mountain Deposit Geology and Model
    Nutmeg Mountain is a low-sulphidation epithermal gold deposit with exploration dating back to the 1980s. The Project is host to Miocene-age basalt and tuffaceous sediments, Payette Formation sandstone and siltstone, and lacustrine sedimentary rocks of the Pliocene-age Idaho Group.

    Most gold mineralization that has been identified at the Project to date occurs within a north-trending graben, which is where most of the drilling has been concentrated. The graben is bounded by faults on the east and west, and sedimentary units change in thickness and character across the bounding faults. Mineralization is associated with multi-phase hydrothermal brecciation and veining, strong silicification, acid alteration, and faulting. Much of the surface alteration is composed primarily of opaline silica and appears to be replacement of Payette Formation sandstone.

    There are four principal zones of mineralization. The Main Zone is the most significant in size and contains most of the gold in the MRE. Gold mineralization is hosted primarily in silicified Payette Formation sandstone that has been subjected to multiple phases of hydrothermal alteration, brecciation, and veining.  The Main Zone mineralization occurs over a north-south distance of approximately 1,200 meters, a width from 250 to 500 meters, and a vertical thickness of up to 180 meters. Most of the gold in the MRE is situated in the top 75 meters of this vertical thickness, creating an opportunity to expand the resource vertically with further deeper drilling and additional data.

    The North Zone underlies the narrow ridge crest at the north end of the Project, approximately 600 meters northeast of the Main Zone. In the North Zone, gold mineralization occurs as an oval, north-trending, tabular body that is up to 60 meters thick, approximately 335 meters long (N-S) and 150 meters wide. The Stinking Water Zone lies approximately 400 meters west of the North Zone and 600 meters north of the Main Zone. The Cove Creek Zone is located 600 meters southeast of, and approximately 170 meters lower than the Main Zone, with little to no surface expression.

    Drillhole Data and QAQC Procedures
    Prior to the Company’s work, the Project was evaluated by several historical work programs starting in the 1980s including geological mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveying, several metallurgical bulk samples and 934 core, RC, and rotary drill holes totaling 70,254 meters. In early 2023, NevGold completed five core holes totaling 1,371 meters, four of which were located within the known envelope of mineralization. The data from these holes have been used in the MRE.

    There is minimal documented QA/QC procedures or data available for drill programs prior to 2008. The Company drill program utilized full industry-standard survey control and QAQC programs and is designed to systematically validate as much of the historical drilling as possible through collar surveys, re-logging, and re-sampling.

    Reasonable Prospects of Eventual Economic Extraction
    To support reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction for the MRE, GMRS used the estimated block model to generate an optimized pit-shell using the following assumptions: a gold price of US$2350/oz, mining costs of US$2.20/tonne moved, processing costs including general and administration costs of US$5.50/tonne, heap-leach process recovery of 80%, and an overall pit slope angle of 50 degrees. Mining and processing costs are based on industry norms and benchmarking for this type of deposit and contemplated mining method.

    Environmental, Social, and Governance Opportunities
    As part of its commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, the Company has commenced a review of alternate energy potential near the Project. These alternate sources include geothermal, solar, and wind power generation. In particular, the Project is in an area of high geothermal energy potential with two geothermal projects already operating nearby. There are also a number of solar and wind power generation projects in Idaho. The Company is actively considering collaboration agreements with alternate energy partners to assess opportunities to lower the carbon footprint at the Project.

    Technical Report
    A technical report is being prepared on the Updated MRE in accordance with NI 43-101 standards, and will be available on the Company’s website and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca within 45 days of the date of this news release. The MRE was prepared by independent mining consulting firm GMRS.

    Qualified Person Statements

    Ben & Jerry’s co-founder resigns, claiming parent company Unilever ‘silenced’ its campaigning

    Jerry Greenfield, co-founder of the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream brand, has stepped down from the company he started 47 years ago citing a retreat from its campaigning spirit under parent company Unilever.

    Greenfield wrote in an open letter late Tuesday night — shared on X by his co-founder Ben Cohen — that he could no longer ‘in good conscience’ remain an employee of the company and said the company had been ‘silenced.’

    He said the company’s values and campaigning work on ‘peace, justice, and human rights’ allowed it to be ‘more than just an ice cream company’ and said the independence to pursue this was guaranteed when Anglo-Dutch packaged food giant Unilever bought the brand in 2000 for $326 million.

    Cohen’s statement didn’t mention Israel’s ongoing military operation in Gaza, but Ben & Jerry’s has been outspoken on the treatment of Palestinians for years and in 2021 withdrew sales from Israeli settlements in what it called ‘Occupied Palestinian Territory.’

    Greenfield’s resignation comes five months after Ben & Jerry’s filed a lawsuit accusing Unilever of firing its chief executive, David Stever, over his support for the brand’s political activism. In November last year Ben & Jerry’s filed another lawsuit accusing Unilever of silencing its public statements in support of Palestinian refugees.

    ‘It’s profoundly disappointing to come to the conclusion that that independence, the very basis of our sale to Unilever, is gone,’ Greenfield said.

    ‘And it’s happening at a time when our country’s current administration is attacking civil rights, voting rights, the rights of immigrants, women, and the LGBTQ community,’ he added.

    Richard Goldstein, the then president of Unilever Foods North America, said in a statement after the sale in 2000 that Unilever was ‘in an ideal position to bring the Ben & Jerry’s brand, values and socially responsible message to consumers worldwide.’

    But now Greenfield claims Ben & Jerry’s ‘has been silenced, sidelined for fear of upsetting those in power.’ He said he would carry on campaigning on social justice issues outside the company.

    The financial performance of the Ben & Jerry’s brand isn’t made public but Unilever’s ice cream division made 8.3 billion Euros ($9.8 billion) in revenue in 2024. Unilever is in the process of spinning off its ice cream division, however, into a separate entity which involves cutting some 7,500 jobs across its brands globally.

    Cohen and Greenfield founded the business in 1978 in Burlington, Vermont, where it is still based.

    NBC News has contacted Unilever for comment overnight but had not received any at the time of publication.
