Trump set to host Saudi Arabia’s powerful crown prince at the White House this week

President Donald Trump is set to host Saudi Arabia’s ambitious and influential Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House this week for high-level talks aimed at deepening economic and defense ties.

‘We’re more than meeting,’ Trump said on Friday en route to Florida for the weekend. ‘We’re honoring Saudi Arabia, the crown prince.’

While not formally a state visit, the plans include a welcome ceremony with military bands, a bilateral meeting in the Oval Office and a black-tie dinner in the evening.

Prince Mohammed bin Salman serves as the kingdom’s powerful understudy to his 89-year-old father, King Salman. Widely regarded as Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, he manages nearly all daily affairs of state and frequently represents the kingdom in international summits and diplomatic meetings.

Tuesday’s meetings will mark Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s first visit to the White House in more than seven years. Trump said last week that he plans to discuss strengthening ties with the Saudi leader and hopes the kingdom will move toward formally recognizing Israel.

‘The Abraham Accords will be a part we’re going to be discussing,’ Trump told reporters Friday. ‘I hope that Saudi Arabia will be joining the Abraham Accords fairly soon.’

Such a move would build on Trump’s signature foreign-policy initiative, the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations during his presidency.

The crown prince last visited the White House in 2018, just months before Jamal Khashoggi, a dissident journalist and critic of the kingdom, was murdered at a Saudi consulate in Turkey. 

A subsequent CIA assessment concluded the prince had likely ordered the killing, though he has consistently denied involvement. Even so, Trump’s relationship with the crown prince appeared largely undeterred during his first term.

Trump last met the crown prince during his first state visit of his second term to Riyadh in May, where he was welcomed with a fighter jet escort, an honor guard wielding golden swords and a parade of Arabian horses flanking his limousine.

The Trump administration is also expected to finalize an agreement with bin Salman to allow Riyadh to purchase F-35 stealth fighter jets, Bloomberg reported Friday, citing a White House official.

The two leaders are expected to sign several other economic and defense agreements during the crown prince’s visit to the White House on Tuesday, the report added.

Majority of Democrats say ‘extremist political rhetoric’ contributed to Charlie Kirk assassination: poll

A majority of Democrats, Independents and Republicans agree that ‘extremist political rhetoric’ contributed to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, according to a new poll.

The survey from NBC News found that 54% of Democrats agree that extreme rhetoric from ‘some in the media and by political leaders’ was a major factor in Kirk’s killing. An overwhelming majority of Republicans, 73%, expressed the same sentiment, while 53% of Independents agreed.

Across all respondents, 61% of Americans said they believe rhetoric contributed to Kirk’s death.

Meanwhile, 28% said they believed Kirk’s killing was caused more by the lone actions of a disturbed individual than the broader political climate. Another 4% said it was a combination of the two.

The poll marks the first time in 15 years of NBC News polling that majorities of all major American political groups agree that extreme rhetoric was a major factor in causing a violent incident.

Polls going back to the 2011 shooting of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., show a steady rise in Americans blaming political rhetoric for violence, rather than just a lone individual.

In Giffords’ case, 71% of respondents blamed the lone attacker, while 24% blamed rhetoric. By the time of President Donald Trump’s second assassination attempt, however, 37% blamed the attacker and 54% blamed rhetoric.

Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, faces a capital punishment trial in Utah. Members of his family say he became politically extreme and moved further and further to the left in the year leading up to Kirk’s assassination.

Robinson faces a slew of charges, including aggravated murder, which carries the potential the death penalty. He has not yet entered a plea.

Judge Tony Graf granted a defense motion to allow Robinson to wear civilian clothes in court, citing his constitutional presumption of innocence, but denied a motion to allow him to appear without shackles.

Robinson’s next hearing is scheduled for Jan. 16, 2026, when he is expected to make his first in-person appearance.

House Republicans say Dems twisting Epstein probe to smear Trump in new memo

Oversight Committee Republicans are accusing their Democratic counterparts of using the House’s ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein to attack President Donald Trump rather than find closure for the late pedophile’s victims.

Fox News Digital obtained a 10-page internal memo written by GOP committee staff for lawmakers on the panel that argued Democrats intentionally misrepresented information obtained by Republicans to create a narrative that was not there.

‘Unfortunately, during this investigation, Oversight Committee Democrats, led by Ranking Member Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), have intentionally mischaracterized witness testimony and selectively released information with targeted redactions in an effort to create another hoax involving President Trump,’ the memo said.

‘When the Majority released the full set of documents, Democrats claimed that this transparency was meant to ‘disorient’ and ‘distract’ from the false narrative they had been attempting to construct about President Trump.’

The committee’s months-long investigation was launched by a bipartisan push for transparency but has since devolved into partisan fighting as both sides blame the other for focusing on the wrong things.

Democrats have accused Republicans of using the probe to cover for Trump, who was known to have been an associate of Epstein’s but never tied to any wrongdoing.

But the committee’s GOP majority, which has released thousands of pages of documents obtained from both the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Epstein’s own estate, has contended that it is dedicated to transparency for the victims and has accused Democrats of politicizing the probe.

‘The Democrats have uncovered nothing new, have released no document not provided at the request of Republicans, and have only succeeded in reinforcing what the American people already knew: President Trump knew Jeffrey Epstein decades ago, President Trump ended the relationship with Epstein, and President Trump did not participate or know about the nature of Epstein’s evil,’ the memo said.

‘Committee Democrats have overpromised and underdelivered, and now they paw through every new document production looking for a single term: Trump.’

Documents released by the committee so far appear to neither concretely prove nor disprove that Trump was aware of Epstein’s crimes, but the president himself has consistently denied any improper links.

In their memo, Republicans pointed to former Attorney General Bill Barr’s deposition where he appeared to clear Trump of wrongdoing, at least in his knowledge of the probe.

But they accuse Garcia of intentionally twisting the facts by claiming Barr had ‘limited knowledge’ of the case.

The memo also accused Democrats of having ‘selectively leaked’ three emails earlier this month out of roughly 23,000 documents handed over by the Epstein estate in a bid to portray Trump in a negative light.

The GOP memo accused Democrats of having ‘made their own redactions to deceive the media and American people,’ including the name of late Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, ‘who stated that she never witnessed wrongdoing by President Trump,’ the memo said.

‘Democrats also redacted ‘she was the one that accused prince andrew’ [sic] in another Epstein email. By making this redaction, Democrats took away important context in the email that named Virginia Guiffre [sic], who worked at Mar-a-Lago, made allegations against Prince Andrew, and was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell in the parking lot,’ the memo said.

‘This changes the meaning in Epstein’s email where he states, ‘of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.’’

The GOP memo also pointed out that Democrats leaked pages of Epstein’s infamous ‘birthday book’ that included Trump but did not publish a message purportedly written by former President Bill Clinton.

It also accused Democrats of failing to help the committee bring in the Clintons for questioning, despite both being issued subpoenas earlier this year. The only figures who have testified so far have been tied to Trump.

‘Democrats are not concerned with transparency or justice,’ the memo said. ‘The evidence the Oversight Committee has gathered does not implicate President Trump in any way. Democrats must stop playing games in this investigation.’

The memo is dated Sunday, two days before the House is expected to vote on a bipartisan bill demanding the DOJ release all of its files related to Epstein.

House GOP leaders had previously been against the effort, arguing the bill as written could lead to the release of information that could harm Epstein’s victims, while also claiming it was unnecessary given the Oversight Committee’s investigation.

But a mechanism known as a discharge petition, led by Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., is allowing the majority of House lawmakers to override leadership’s wishes and force a vote on the bill.

Trump encouraged Republicans to vote in favor of it in a Truth Social post Sunday night, telling the GOP, ‘We have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax.’

Fox News Digital reached out to the committee’s Democratic minority for a response.

War Department refocuses on AI, hypersonics and directed energy in major strategy overhaul

The War Department is narrowing its research and development strategy to six ‘Critical Technology Areas’ officials say will speed up innovation and strengthen America’s military edge.

Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering Emil Michael said the plan will deliver faster, more focused results to the warfighter by merging overlapping programs and steering funding toward technologies that will shape future conflicts.

‘As the Department of War’s Chief Technology Officer, I am statutorily charged with the mission of advancing technology and innovation for the armed forces,’ Michael wrote in a Nov. 13 memorandum to senior Pentagon and combatant command leadership. ‘The previous list of fourteen CTAs did not provide the focus that the threat environment of today requires.’

The six areas — Applied Artificial Intelligence, Biomanufacturing, Contested Logistics Technologies, Quantum and Battlefield Information Dominance, Scaled Directed Energy and Scaled Hypersonics — will be advanced through rapid ‘sprints’ designed to move emerging technologies from prototype to production.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the streamlined approach will keep the United States ahead of its rivals.

‘Our nation’s military has always been the tip of the spear,’ Hegseth said. ‘Under Secretary Emil Michael’s six Critical Technology Areas will ensure that our warriors never enter a fair fight and have the best systems in their hands for maximum lethality.’

The initiative also aligns with President Donald Trump’s Artificial Intelligence Action Plan, which directs the War Department to become an ‘AI-First’ organization.

Officials say the shift will reshape how intelligence is processed, how logistics are managed and how weapons systems are deployed.

‘In alignment with President Trump’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Plan, the Department of War must become an ‘AI-First’ organization,’ Michael wrote. ‘When adopted rapidly, AI will fundamentally transform the Department from the enterprise-level, to intelligence synthesis and to warfighting.’

Michael’s plan emphasizes resilience and self-sufficiency on the battlefield. Biomanufacturing will create bio-based materials to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers, while Contested Logistics Technologies will help U.S. forces sustain operations in contested or denied environments.

The goal, he said, is to ensure troops can fight and resupply even when traditional lines are cut. Each new technology area is meant to reinforce that capability.

‘Future warfare will likely be characterized by contested environments in which the Joint Force is challenged to surge, operate into and within the operational theater, and resupply, reconstitute, and recover forces,’ Michael wrote. ‘This CTA will enable the demonstration, validation, and scaling of novel approaches and technologies.’

Other priorities include quantum computing for secure battlefield communications, scaled directed energy systems such as high-energy lasers and high-power microwave weapons, and the expansion of hypersonic capabilities for both offensive and defensive missions.

Each effort depends on close coordination between the Pentagon, private industry and allied militaries to ensure the technologies reach the field quickly.

‘Executing these sprints will require unprecedented coordination between the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering, military departments, combatant commands and other Office of the Secretary of War components,’ Michael said. ‘I am committed to working with you and our partners inside and outside of the Department on these efforts.’

China’s energy siege of Taiwan could cripple US supply chains, report warns

Instead of waging a bloody battle that could ignite a clash between nuclear-armed states, China may be betting it can conquer Taiwan without firing a shot — by choking off the island’s fuel and electricity until its government capitulates.

China’s campaign wouldn’t start with missiles but with paperwork and patrol boats — ‘routine’ inspections, new customs rules and cyber intrusions designed to quietly strangle Taiwan’s imports while giving Beijing plausible deniability, according to a new report by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD). 

The report warns that a successful Chinese squeeze on Taiwan’s fuel would ripple far beyond Asia. With the island producing most of the world’s advanced semiconductors, any prolonged power outage could halt global electronics and defense manufacturing — hitting U.S. supply chains and markets almost immediately.

‘Beijing’s goal isn’t to invade today, but to make Taiwan believe resistance is futile tomorrow. Its gray-zone campaign is a strategy of slow-motion strangulation — one that risks a sudden shock as Chinese ships and aircraft surge around the island,’ report author Craig Singleton said.

The findings stem from a tabletop exercise conducted this summer by FDD and Taiwan’s Centre for Innovative Democracy and Sustainability at National Chengchi University. The simulation, called ‘Energy Siege,’ tested how the Chinese Communist Party might escalate from bureaucratic interference to a full-blown energy quarantine.

Teams representing China, Taiwan, the United States, Japan and other allies wargamed a monthslong campaign in which Beijing throttled Taiwan’s fuel imports through ‘gray-zone’ tactics — administrative slowdowns, cyberattacks and disinformation — all while maintaining plausible deniability. The exercise found that a prolonged squeeze on Taiwan’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) could cripple its electrical grid within weeks and trigger a global chip shock.

The report warns that cyber operations and propaganda would be central to Beijing’s playbook. Chinese hackers have already doubled successful intrusions into Taiwan’s energy grid over the past year, and the exercise envisioned them embedding malware in LNG terminals and power-plant control systems to disrupt shipments and distribution.

At the same time, Beijing would unleash a barrage of false narratives — rumors of blackouts, fuel hoarding and government incompetence — to erode public trust and fracture morale. ‘For Beijing, disinformation is not a sideshow but its primary weapon,’ the report notes, describing a campaign designed to ‘control the narrative and sap its adversaries’ will.’

Taiwan imports nearly all of its energy — half from natural gas and about 30% from coal — and holds only ‘a few weeks’ worth’ of reserves. ‘Taiwan’s three main LNG terminals and the Taichung coal offloading port are clustered along the island’s west coast, within range of the CCP’s missiles as shipments are funneled through narrow Taiwan Strait lanes,’ the report adds.

That dependency makes Taiwan one of the world’s most energy-insecure economies. A blockade or ‘energy quarantine’ could cut the island’s power generation in half within weeks — forcing leaders to decide whether to keep the lights on for hospitals or for chipmakers like TSMC and UMC, Singleton and co-author Mark Montgomery write.

‘Coercion, not combat, is Beijing’s preferred weapon,’ Singleton said, adding that such a blockade would have ‘ripple effects that would reshape global markets and stability alike.’

The report also calls for the United States to expand its own LNG export capacity — particularly through new projects in Alaska — to ensure it can supply Taiwan directly and make U.S. energy a core element of the island’s resilience.

Taiwan produces around 60% of global semiconductor chips and 90% of the world’s most advanced chips, though TSMC is building a facility in Arizona to help offset that imbalance. ‘The choice to slowly shutter industrial capacity would eventually make Taiwan’s conundrum a global catastrophe when a plurality of the world’s supply of legacy chips and a supermajority of its advanced chips cease flowing,’ the report says.

The authors argue that Taiwan should build up its LNG reserves through greater U.S. supply and for the U.S. Navy to be ready to escort vessels delivering it. ‘Beijing believes pressure plus patience equals political collapse,’ Montgomery said. ‘What unnerves China isn’t Taiwan’s defiance, but its people’s ability to withstand coercion.’

Beijing’s information strategy, the report adds, would aim to quietly turn Taiwan’s population against its own government and allies — amplifying stories questioning President Lai Ching-te’s competence, spreading rumors of military fuel hoarding and blackouts, and circulating claims that the U.S., Japan and Australia would hesitate to intervene.

China’s propaganda campaign could also reach the American public, the authors warn, through efforts to ‘seed questions across U.S. online ecosystems designed to wear down the American public’s commitment to continued convoy operations.’

For now, the contest remains theoretical. But as China builds the tools to choke Taiwan’s energy supply and shape its narrative abroad, the line between peace and pressure is narrowing. The exercise suggests the first shot in the next Taiwan crisis may not be fired at all.

Juggernaut Receives 5 Year Drill Permit For 100% Controlled Big One Property, Golden Triangle, B.C.

(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire – November 17, 2025 Juggernaut Exploration Ltd (JUGR.V) (OTCPK: JUGRF) (FSE: 4JE) ( the ‘Company’ or ‘Juggernaut’) is pleased to report that it has received a 5 year drill permit for the 100 % controlled Big One property (the ‘Property’), Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The permit is in good standing until March 31, 2031.

The Company is planning a drill program targeting several extensive gold-rich shear-hosted veins confirmed on surface in the newly discovered district-scale Eldorado System and Gold Swarm discoveries. These strong drill targets are planned to be tested in the third dimension during the fully-funded inaugural drill program in 2026.

The Eldorado System consists of a 22 Km 2 area that remains open where grab samples assayed up to 263.70 g/t AuEq or 8.48 oz/t AuEq (256.60 g/t Au, 546.00 g/t Ag, 0.43 % Cu, 0.41 % Pb and 0.01 % Zn) from >400 mineralized veins that are up to 10 m wide hosted in shear zones up to 50 m wide, and are exposed on surface for >1 km with >1 km of vertical relief. The Eldorado System hosts the Gold Dome Zone where grab samples assayed up to 263.70 g/t AuEq or 8.48 oz/t AuEq (256.60 g/t Au, 546.00 g/t Ag, 0.43 % Cu, 0.41 % Pb and 0.01 % Zn), the Big Mac Zone where grab samples assayed up to 113.92 g/t AuEq or 3.66 oz/t AuEq (111.35 g/t Au, 159.00 g/t Ag, 0.02 % Cu, 3.88 % Pb and 0.01 % Zn), and the Whopper Zone where grab samples assayed up to 43.94 g/t AuEq or 1.41 oz/t AuEq (39.84 g/t Au, 333.00 g/t Ag, 0.02 % Cu, 0.07 % Pb and 0.06 % Zn). See news release from September 8, 2025 and November 10, 2025.

Dan Stuart, President and CEO of Juggernaut Exploration, states: ‘Now that we have received the drill permit and all regulatory requirements have been met, we are looking forward to testing this amazing district-scale discovery with the drill bit. We are committed to maintaining respectful and collaborative relationships with the Tahltan First Nation and all stakeholders. As we advance exploration on our project, we will continue working closely with the Tahltan First Nation and all the local stakeholders and regulatory agencies to ensure our activities create long-term value and reflect community priorities.’

Big One Gold-Rich District-Scale System Highlights:

  • The district-scale Eldorado System covers an area of 22 km that remains wide open where grab samples assayed up to 263.70 g/t AuEq or 8.48 oz/t AuEq (256.60 g/t Au, 546.00 g/t Ag, 0.43 % Cu, 0.41 % Pb and 0.01 % Zn)  from 400 mineralized veins that remain open and are up to 10 m wide, hosted in shear zones up to 50 m wide, and are exposed on surface for 500 m with 1 km of vertical relief.

  • The Gold Swarm Discovery is a 3 km area of strong gold potential with 100 gold-rich polymetallic veins exposed on surface for 200 m and up to 4.5 m wide with up to 700 m of vertical relief, where grab samples assayed up to 231.81 g/t AuEq or 7.45 oz/t AuEq (226.94 g/t Au, 335.00 g/t Ag, 0.00 % Cu, 4.99 % Pb and 0.01 % Zn) that remains open.

Link to Goldswarm Figure

  • 41% (219 samples out of 527) collected within the Eldorado System in 2024 and 2025 assayed 1 g/t AuEq; 65% (28 samples out of 43) collected within the Gold Swarm Zone in 2024 and 2025 assayed 1 g/t AuEq.

  • Gold samples up to 256.60 g/t or 8.25 oz/t, silver samples up 2810 g/t or 90.34 oz/t, and copper samples up to 14.40 % were collected on Big One.

  • Detailed mapping has confirmed common orientations as well as similar geochemical signatures and textures of the gold-mineralized veins along the 15 km Highway of Gold corridor surrounding the snowcap of Deeker Glacier strongly indicating that the gold-rich mineralization found throughout is all part of one district-scale gold system that remains open.

  • The polymetallic veins, alteration signature, geochemical path finder element signature, and geophysical anomalies strongly indicate the presence of a large common buried gold-silver-copper rich porphyry feeder source or similar magmatic source or sources at depth responsible for the extensive high-grade veining confirmed on surface.

  • Detailed geological and structural mapping has been completed on the reported drill targets in order to define the full geometry of these high-grade gold-bearing large shears and veins and will be instrumental in designing the drill plan for the upcoming maiden drill program.

  • A high-resolution UAV photogrammetry survey was completed over an area of 52 km on the Eldorado System and Gold Swarm Zone encompassing all of the maiden drill targets. The data will be used to support modelling and define targeting the high-grade gold mineralization recently discovered.

  • A property wide LiDAR survey covering an area of 385 km has been conducted and will be used to augment information obtained from the mapping as well as plan the upcoming inaugural drill campaign.

The Big One property is situated in a region that is well known for hosting globally recognized precious metal and porphyry deposits, several of which occur near the property including the multiple porphyry systems at Galore Creek, the world’s largest known gold reserve at KSM and the polymetallic copper project at Shaft Creek, as well as the Brucejack high-grade epithermal gold deposit, and the structurally controlled high-grade hydrothermal gold-silver zones at Trophy and Sphal Creek. The property geology is favorable to host these types of deposits, as confirmed by the presence of extensive areas of propylitic alteration, untested geophysical anomalies, strong silt, soil, and rock geochemistry, including path finder elements directly related to porphyry systems, key structures and textures, porphyry-style mineralization, and high-grade polymetallic veins, that have been discovered on the Big One property.

The Big One property can be accessed year-round via helicopter from the Glenora/Telegraph Creek Road at the Barrington Mine (33 km to the north-northeast) as well as the Galore Creek Road (15 km to the southeast). The Canadian government committed $20 M to extend/improve the Galore Creek Road to within 15 km of the Big One property. The property is 2 km west of the Scud River airstrip used in the early days of Galore Creek.

The Big One property exploration qualifies for the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC).

Qualified Person

Rein Turna, P. Geo is the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, for Juggernaut Exploration projects, and supervised the preparation of, and has reviewed and approved, the technical information in this release.

QA/QC Protocol

Grab, channels, chip and talus samples were collected by foot with helicopter assistance. Prospective areas included, but were not limited to, proximity to MINFile locations, placer creek occurrences, regional soil anomalies, and potential gossans based on high-resolution satellite imagery. The rock grab and chip samples were extracted using a rock hammer, or hammer and chisel to expose fresh surfaces and to liberate a sample of anywhere between 0.5 to 5.0 kilograms. All sample sites were flagged with biodegradable flagging tape and marked with the sample number. All sample sites were recorded using hand-held GPS units (accuracy 3-10 meters) and sample ID, easting, northing, elevation, type of sample (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip, grab, etc.) and a description of the rock were recorded on all-weather paper. Samples are then inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag for transport and shipping to the geochemistry lab. QA/QC samples including blanks, certified reference materials, and duplicate samples are inserted regularly into the sample sequence at a rate of 10%.

All samples are transported in rice bags sealed with numbered security tags. The rice bags are transported from the core shacks to the MSALABS facilities in Terrace, BC. MSALABS is certified with both AC89-IAS and ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017. The core samples undergo preparation via drying, crushing to ~70% of the material passing a 2 mm sieve and riffle splitting. The sample splits are weighed and transferred into three plastic jars, each containing between 300 g and 500 g of crushed sample material. A 250 g split is pulverized to ensure at least 85% of the material passes through a 75 µm sieve. The crushed samples are transported to the MSALABS PhotonAssayTM facility in Prince George, where gold concentrations are quantified via photon assay analysis (method CPA-Au1). Samples that result in gold concentrations ≥5 ppm are analyzed to extinction. Photon assay uses high-energy X-rays (photons) to excite atomic nuclei within the jarred samples, inducing the emission of secondary gamma rays, which are measured to quantify gold concentrations. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis. Multielement analyses are carried at the MSALABS facilities in Surrey, BC, where 250 g of pulverized splits are analyzed via ICF6xx and IMS-230 methods. The IMS-230 method uses 4-acid digestion (a combination of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids) followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry to quantify concentrations of 48 elements. Samples with over-limit results for Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn undergo ore-grade analysis via the ICF-6xx method (where ‘xx’ denotes the target metal). This method employs 4-acid digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry.

Gold Equivalent (AuEq) metal values are calculated using: Au 4004.43 USD/oz, Ag 48.80 USD/oz, Cu 5.09 USD/lbs, Pb 2026.43 USD/ton and Zn 3054.88 USD/ton on October 31, 2025. There is potential for economic recovery of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc from these occurrences based on other mining and exploration projects in the same Golden Triangle Mining Camp with similar style of high-grade gold mineralization where Juggernaut’s project is located such as the Brucejack Mine and the Homestake Ridge Gold Project. Here, AuEq values were calculated using multi-year running averages for metal price, and included provisions for metallurgical recoveries, treatment charges, refining costs, and transportation. Recoveries for Au, Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn on Big One are not known but are assumed to be similar with 85 % gold recovery, 75 % silver recovery, 75 % copper recovery, 75 % zinc recovery and 50 % Pb recovery. The quoted reference of metallurgical recoveries is not from Juggernaut’s Big One project and there is no guarantee that such recoveries will ever be achieved, unless detailed metallurgical work such as in a Feasibility Study will be completed on the Big One project.

Drilling results confirm new copper discovery with district scale potential

Critical Mineral Resources plc (“CMR”, “Company”) is delighted to announce extremely encouraging results from its maiden core drilling programme at Agadir Melloul, confirming a significant new, shallow copper discovery and establishing the foundations for a potential district scale sediment hosted, copper-silver play.

Highlights

  • Exceptional near surface copper intercepts including:
    • 5.8m at 1.12% Cu / 19g/t Ag,
    • 6.5m at 1.03% Cu,
    • 4.7m at 1.48% Cu, in addition to
    • 6.0m at 1.4% Cu / 31g/t Ag from the newly identified Rhyolite Target, all exceeding our expectations.
  • These results allow for a significant growth runway with less than 1% of the project area drilled. Ongoing mapping confirms a district wide mineralised envelope, consistent with our 25 million tonne Initial Exploration Target.
  • Shallow, near surface tabular copper deposit supports low capex and rapid development pathway, with a geometry amenable to open-pit operations.
  • The new Rhyolite Target copper-silver discovery adds a second, potentially large scale, mineral system, materially expanding the projects already significant upside potential.
  • On track to break ground on the Initial Mine Development in 2027, with a maiden resource expected as early as H1 2026.

Drill results

Sediment hosted mineralisation:

  • BH01 – 5.8m at 1.12% copper and 19g/t silver from 2.2m
  • BH04 – 2.5m at 0.85% copper and 4g/t silver from 1.5m
  • BH06 – 2.0m at 1.3% copper from 16m
  • BH07 – 1.3m at 0.98% copper from 16.7m

  • BH 38 – 4.7m at 1.03% copper from 27m
  • BH 43 – 3.0m at 1.1% copper from 6.0m
  • BH 45 – 1.60m at 1.1% copper from 6.0m, 4.0m at 0.77% copper and 2.0m at 1.05% copper from 16.4m

Also, the new Rhyolite Target copper-silver discovery confirmed in late October, with the first drill hole returning very encouraging results:

  • BHR01 – 6.0m at 1.4% copper and 31g/t silver from surface

Charlie Long CEO commented:

“These excellent results have surpassed our expectations. We are seeing broad zones of consistent, high quality copper mineralisation in a very shallow setting, with multiple intercepts over 4m. This is a brilliant outcome, and the Initial Mine and Strategic Resource strategies are both on track.

It is particularly exciting that we have drilled less than 1% of our 50km2 sedimentary target, and geological evidence points to a large, mineralised copper system that extends across the project area. This positions the project as a scalable, district level opportunity, and we expect continued drilling to deliver a steady flow of excellent assay results as we build towards an extensive resource.

Agadir Melloul is different from most copper development stories in the market. It combines true scale potential, shallow geometry with near surface setting, creating economically and operationally favourable mining conditions in an excellent jurisdiction. This gives us a pathway to delivering a fast tracked, near surface operation.

And now we also have the unexpected bonus of a rhyolite hosted mineralisation target. This is an exciting discovery, which our team believes represents a second standalone mineral system with strong copper and silver grades. If our working model holds, this could transform Agadir Melloul into a multi-deposit copper district, dramatically enhancing its long-term strategic value.

Our shareholders have been patient, and we are now entering a period where we believe that patience will be rewarded. We are planning to accelerate our drilling program with an additional rig, to drill multiple targets, and ultimately add equity value from different parts of the project. The momentum is gathering, and we can look forward to much more good news in the future.”

Sedimentary copper – depth, grade and thickness

CMR’s Initial Exploration Target of 150,000 to 200,000 tonnes of contained copper is based on a shallow, semi-continuous tabular resource with a 2.0m average thickness and an average grade of 1.2% copper equivalent. While we are retaining the 2.0m target for now, today’s assay results indicate clear potential for the average thickness to exceed our current assumptions, proving tangible resource growth potential as drilling progresses.

The geometry of our exploration target is comparable to several well-known sediment hosted copper orebodies in the Zechstein Basin, such as KGHM’s Lubin Mine in Poland, which has an average thickness of 2.8m (ranging from 1.5m to 5.0m) and an average reserve grade of 0.95% copper and 48g/t silver. Lubin operates at depths of 368m to more than 1,000m.Its longevity and scale is supported by the exceptional consistency of the Kupferschiefer orebody.

Agadir Melloul has similar geometry to Lubin but benefits enormously from very shallow, near surface mineralisation. Shallow mines typically benefit from lower capital intensity, lower sustaining and reserve development costs, and favourable mining economics, all of which support a fast-track development profile.

Strategic Resource Strategy

Concurrently with the Initial Mine development, CMR is moving aggressively to advance its parallel strategy of delineating a large-scale strategic resource at Agadir-Melloul. With our own, new core drill rig arriving imminently, drilling will accelerate sharply, enabling rapid expansion of the known mineralised footprint.

Our primary target is a laterally semi-continuous 1.5m to 3.5m thick extensive zone of mineralised sediments, comprising limestones, dolomites and microconglomerates. Mineralisation within this sequence demonstrates strong lateral continuity, with higher grade zones developing where host rocks exhibit elevated permeability and porosity, a model that supports the potential for a large-scale discovery.

Summary and rhyolite assessment

CMR remains firmly on track to deliver a shallow, open pittable, maiden resource by late Q2 to early Q3 2026, sufficient in scale to underpin the Initial Mine development.The initial resource’s grade and geometry is expected to be in line with our target of a near surface, 2.0m thick and 1.2% copper equivalent deposit, with potential for thickness to increase based on current intercepts.

The Rhyolite Target discovery has created a major new growth vector. There are various scenarios, all of which are very positive. The base case is that drilling delineates a near surface rhyolite hosted mineralisation through secondary enrichment. Even this would represent a highly valuable addition to the project.

However, our working hypothesis, is that the rhyolite was mineralised with primary copper and silver, which would constitute an entirely new igneous hosted copper system within the project. This scenario would significantly elevate Agadir Melloul’s long term and large-scale potential.

CMR will shortly be selecting representative core samples from both styles of mineralisation for thin-section and associated detailed petrology and mineralogy studies.

Outlook

Following publication of the resource estimate in H1 2026, CMR will immediately commence the Agadir-Melloul feasibility study and Environmental Impact Assessment for the processing plant, as it targets construction of the Initial Mine during 2027. With the Company’s own, new rig arriving imminently to accelerate exploration, we expect drilling density, mineralised footprint, and resource to grow rapidly.

The project is emerging as one of the most compelling new copper discoveries, with size, grade, geometry, and multi system upside rarely seen at this early stage of exploration.

Equity Metals Extends the No 3 Vein to Depth at the Silver Queen Property, BC

Equity Metals Corporation (TSXV: EQTY,OTC:EQMEF) (FSE: EGSD) (OTCQB: EQMEF) (‘Equity’) reports new precious and base metal assays from the Summer ’25 drill program on its 100% owned Silver Queen Au-Ag project, British Columbia, which continue to extend the projection of mineralization in the No. 3 Vein beyond the limits of the Company’s 2022 Resource Estimate.

Assay highlights from the latest drilling include:

  • A 1.3 metre (Est. TT) interval averaging 4.7g/t Au, 471g/t Ag, 2.5% Cu, 0.3% Pb and 1.5% Zn (1,128g/t AgEq or 15.6g/t AuEq), including a 0.7 metre (est. TT) interval grading 8.9g/t Au, 890g/t Ag, 4.8% Cu, 0.3% Pb and 0.2% Zn (2,042g/t AgEq or 28.2g/t AuEq) from SQ25-160; and

  • A 1.7 metre (Est. TT) interval averaging 0.2g/t Au, 519g/t Ag, 0.1% Cu, 2.8% Pb and 9.5% Zn (910g/t AgEq or 12.6g/t AuEq) including 0.4 metre (est. TT) interval grading 2,026g/t Ag, 0.1% Cu, 7.9% Pb and 14.5% Zn (2,687g/t AgEq or 37.1g/t AuEq) from SQ25-164.

Drilling continues to extend mineralization along strike and to depth along the northwest extension of the No. 3 vein and has now tested down-dip of previously released high-grade intercepts from 2024 drilling (eg: SQ24-136: 7.6m est TT. averaging 431g/t AgEq; see NR-15-24, December 17, 2024) and along strike of intercepts from earlier in 2025 (eg: SQ25-148: 3.5m averaging 536g/t AgEq; see NR-07-25, August 11, 2025). Mineralization now extends to depths of 450 metres below surface. Multiple veins have been intersected in most of these holes, including veins that have historically been identified as the No. 3 and No. 2 veins. Several additional hangingwall and footwall intercepts have been identified and drilling continues to provide definition to each of the vein sets and mineralized segments.

Of note, mineralization related to the No. 3 Vein is adjacent to historical mine workings, providing potential access advantages in any future development scenarios.

VP Exploration Rob Macdonald commented, ‘The Summer ’25 drill program successfully extended mineralization in the No. 3 and No. 2 vein sets for up to 650 metres laterally and to depths of 450 metres below surface. Mineralization identified in the current drill program continues to expand and develop continuity within the vein sets and is accretive to previously modelled mineral resources on the Silver Queen Project. Work in 2025 will continue to incorporate the new drill data into a revised exploration and resource model, in anticipation of a Mineral Resource update to be prepared in Q1 ’26, and to continue exploration on the ever-expanding Silver Queen vein system in 2026.’

2025 Exploration Program Summary

Twenty-one core holes totalling 8,143 metres were drilled on the No. 3 North target. Assays have been returned from 19 holes. Assays from two holes which tested the furthest lateral projections of the No. 2 and No. 3 vein sets, are pending. A short sampling surface program consisting of reconnaissance soil and stream sediment samples was completed. The program was designed to investigate several district-scale targets outboard from the No. 3 Vein system in preparation of potential drill testing in 2026.

The No. 3 Vein system contains the single largest resource currently identified on the Silver Queen property, and along with its southern extension, the NG-3 Vein, account for 65% of the currently modelled mineral resource on a AgEq basis. Extensions to the No. 3 Vein should be highly accretive to the current mineral resource. The current NI43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate, with an effective date of December 1st, 2022, is detailed in a News Release issued on Jan 16, 2023 and can be found by clicking here. The full Technical Report can be found on SEDAR and on the Company’s website.

Crypto Market Update: ETF Redemptions Hit Three-Week Streak, Bitcoin’s Struggle Continues

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Monday (November 17) as of 9:00 a.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ether price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$95,539.04, a 0.4 percent decrease in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$93,029.42, while its highest was US$95,903.57.

Bitcoin price performance, November 17, 2025.

Chart via TradingView

Bitcoin’s slide to a weekend low of $93,029 has reset market sentiment to “extreme fear,” extending a drawdown that has erased more than US$600 billion from its market value since October’s record.

The speed of the retreat has unsettled even long-time traders, especially after Bitcoin spent much of the year buoyed by Wall Street inflows, ETF demand, and renewed political support under the Trump administration.

SchiffGold founder Peter Schiff also seized on the downturn, urging investors on X to “sell Bitcoin now and buy gold before you get mauled.’

Schiff noted that that gold had climbed back above US$4,100 in early Asian trading while Bitcoin was “struggling to hold US$93,000.”

‘Bitcoin is now down 26% from its high. But in terms of gold, the bear market is far more ferocious, with Bitcoin down 39%,’ he added.

Meanwhile, Ether (ETH) was priced at US$3,187.13, a 0.6 percent decrease in the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$3,023.62, while its highest was US$3,215.64.

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$141.18, trading flat over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$135.28, while its highest was US$142.40.
  • XRP was trading for US$2.27, up by 0.4 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$2.66, while its highest was US$2.28.

Today’s crypto news to know

US Bitcoin ETFs log US$1.11 billion outflow in third straight week

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a third straight week of redemptions, with investors pulling roughly US$1.11 billion from November 10 to 14.

BlackRock’s IBIT fund accounted for the largest share, shedding more than half a billion dollars in net outflows. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust also saw heavy withdrawals as investors exercised cautious sentiment despite its large historical asset base.

The continued drawdown pushed total spot Bitcoin ETF assets to around US$125 billion, representing just under 7 percent of Bitcoin’s market capitalization.

Rising political and macro uncertainty has dampened demand, particularly after concerns surrounding a potential Trump tariff plan.

CZ floats plan to reinvest any returned portion of Binance’s US$4.3 billion fine

Changpeng Zhao signaled that if the U.S. government ever refunded any part of the US$4.3 billion settlement paid by Binance, he would direct the money back into American industries.

Zhao’s remark on X followed public discussion about whether a presidential pardon affects the status of corporate financial penalties. He clarified that he has not asked for any reimbursement and acknowledged that expecting a refund would be unrealistic.

Legal analysts note that his personal pardon does not automatically void Binance’s corporate settlement, which stemmed from anti–money laundering and sanctions failures.

The pardon has also generated accusations of impropriety, including claims of hidden crypto payments to the Trump campaign.

ICIJ report flags billions in illicit crypto flows

A new investigative report from the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) claims that major exchanges continued handling funds linked to organized crime even while under heightened US scrutiny.

The review of transaction records between 2023 and 2025 found that platforms such as Binance and OKX processed large volumes of transfers tied to scam networks, drug-trafficking groups, and state-backed hacking operations.

Binance allegedly received more than US$400 million from accounts connected to Huione Group, a Cambodia-based hub widely used by Chinese criminal gangs. Meanwhile, OKX was linked to over US$200 million from the same network, including flows that continued after Huione was labeled a primary money-laundering concern by US authorities.

The report also traced stolen funds from a US$1.5 billion North Korean hacking spree, identifying surges of deposits into Binance addresses routed through THORChain.

Additional cases tied some exchanges to fentanyl traffickers, cartel-linked launderers, and entities supporting North Korea’s weapons program.
