Standard Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: STND,OTC:STTDF) (OTCQB: STTDF) (FSE: 9SU0) (‘Standard Uranium’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce exploration permits have been received for the Corvo Uranium Project (‘Corvo’, or the ‘Project’), currently under a three-year earn-in option agreement with Aventis Energy Inc. (CSE: AVE) (‘Aventis’). Work programs under the 18-month permit will include high-resolution geophysical surveys and the Company’s first drill program on the Project beginning in January 2026.

The Company contracted MWH Geo-Surveys (Canada) Ltd. (‘MWH‘) to complete an extensive 50 m x 200 m ground gravity survey covering more than 29 km of conductive strike length, which will aid in identifying density anomalies that may represent hydrothermal alteration systems coinciding with uranium fertile electromagnetic (‘EM‘) conductor trends. MWH mobilized to the Project on November 24, 2025, and the survey will comprise more than 5,000 individual gravity measurement stations.

Following completion of the gravity survey, a skid-assisted diamond drill program totalling approximately 3,000 metres is planned for winter 2026, which will mark the first drill program on the Project in more than 40 years. Drilling will target high-priority areas including the never-before-drilled Manhattan Showing and other newly-identified radioactive occurrences across the property. Outcrop grab samples collected earlier this year returned uranium assays reaching a maximum of 8.10% U3O8 at the Manhattan Showing1.

‘The gravity survey now underway will further refine our target areas for drilling in Q1 2026,’ said Sean Hillacre, President & VP Exploration of Standard Uranium. ‘Layering the new density results with the EM data from the Xcite TDEM survey we completed earlier this year, in addition to the surficial geological information gathered during our prospecting program will provide multiple high-priority drill targets for our maiden drill campaign this winter.’

2025 Exploration Programs

Earlier this year, the Company contracted Axiom Exploration Group Ltd. in partnership with New Resolution Geophysics to carry out a helicopter-borne Xcite time domain electromagnetic and total field magnetic survey over the Corvo Project. The survey totalled approximately 1,380 line-kms with a traverse line spacing of 100 m and tie-line spacing of 1,000 m. The airborne TDEM survey outlines several kilometers of conductive anomalies and magnetic features in bedrock, effectively enhancing the resolution of more than 29 kilometres of conductive trends on the project.

Ongoing geophysical interpretation and modeling is being completed to integrate historical surveys with newly collected datasets, which will provide high-priority drill targets and significantly derisk the Project prior to modern drilling in 2026.

In July of 2025, Standard Uranium completed the Company’s first prospecting and mapping program on the project with the objective of ground-truth sampling historical uranium showings including the Manhattan Showing, which returned results up to 59,800 ppm uranium (total digestion)2. The Company identified zones of off-scale** radioactivity (>65,535 cps on a handheld RS-125 Super-Spec) and collected hand samples which returned results ranging from 0.72% to 8.10% U₃O₈1, the highest grades ever reported on the project. New drill targets were developed based on previously undocumented radioactive showings, and an NI 43-101 technical report was filed on the project, highlighting high-grade surface mineralization at the Manhattan Showing3.

The Company believes the Project is highly prospective for the discovery of shallow, high-grade* basement-hosted uranium mineralization akin to the Rabbit Lake deposit and the recently discovered Gemini Mineralized Zone. Located just outside the current margin of the Athabasca Basin, Corvo boasts shallow drill targets with bedrock under minimal cover of glacial till.

About Standard Uranium (TSXV: STND,OTC:STTDF)

We find the fuel to power a clean energy future

Standard Uranium is a uranium exploration company and emerging project generator poised for discovery in the world’s richest uranium district. The Company holds interest in over 235,435 acres (95,277 hectares) in the world-class Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. Since its establishment, Standard Uranium has focused on the identification, acquisition, and exploration of Athabasca-style uranium targets with a view to discovery and future development.

Standard Uranium’s Davidson River Project, in the southwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, comprises ten mineral claims over 30,737 hectares. Davidson River is highly prospective for basement-hosted uranium deposits due to its location along trend from recent high-grade uranium discoveries. However, owing to the large project size with multiple targets, it remains broadly under-tested by drilling. Recent intersections of wide, structurally deformed and strongly altered shear zones provide significant confidence in the exploration model and future success is expected.

Standard Uranium’s eastern Athabasca projects comprise over 43,185 hectares of prospective land holdings. The eastern basin projects are highly prospective for unconformity related and/or basement hosted uranium deposits based on historical uranium occurrences, recently identified geophysical anomalies, and location along trend from several high-grade uranium discoveries.

Standard Uranium’s Sun Dog project, in the northwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, is comprised of nine mineral claims over 19,603 hectares. The Sun Dog project is highly prospective for basement and unconformity hosted uranium deposits yet remains largely untested by sufficient drilling despite its location proximal to uranium discoveries in the area.

Stardust Metal Corp. (CSE: ZIGY) (‘Stardust’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce the discovery of a significant geophysical target at its McGarry Project, located in the heart of the world-class Kirkland Lake gold district, home to some of Canada’s most prolific high-grade gold mines, including Kerr Addison, Macassa, Upper Beaver, and several others.

  • Large, never-drilled ultramafic target identified beside Kerr Addison.
  • MT anomaly from ~250 metres to >1,000 metres.
  • Strong structural alignment with Larder Lake-Cadillac Deformation Zone and key district faults.
  • Interpreted folded ultramafic unit with high-grade potential.
  • High-impact upside with ANT survey to refine and then drill-test.

Presentation on McGarry’s Ultramafic Target

MT Image of Target

Map of McGarry’s Location in Kirkland Lake

Geophysical Target Highlights

  • MT Anomaly

The Magnetotellurics (MT) survey highlights a large, deep feature beneath the sedimentary cover, visible from approximately -250 m and extending well beyond -1,000 m, below the depth detectable by conventional IP methods.

IP Survey

An Induced Polarization (IP) survey was done concurrently with the MT survey and confirms the general pattern of the MT results in the top 250 of the sections both in terms of the resistivity and the chargeability responses and major features such as the Larder Lake-Cadillac Deformation Zone (LLCDZ), the Armistice Fault and the Mill Zone Fault are visible on both surveys but the anomaly that is highlighted in this news release is located below the IP response.

  • Geological Interpretation:

The anomaly is interpreted as a folded ultramafic unit, in disconformable contact with overlying sediments and forms a synclinal structure plunging to the west. The base of the sedimentary unit has not been intersected in drilling and until recently was thought to be very deep and beyond the limit of geophysics. But the MT response is very clear and indicates the presence of a low-resistivity body sitting right beneath the sediments and espousing the syncline from about 250m depth to well beyond 1000m. Its shape and response suggests potential to host an ultramafic unit similar to the rocks that host the known gold deposits in the district. Only drilling this target will tell if gold-rich solutions penetrated the body but an Ambient Noise Tomographic (ANT) seismic survey should refine the target in anticipation of drill testing.

  • Structural and Regional Context:

Key structures including the LLCDZ, Armistice Fault, and Mill Zone Fault are clearly reflected in both IP and MT datasets, demonstrating the reliability of the survey and aligning with known district-scale controls on mineralization.

  • District Significance:

The McGarry Project sits immediately adjacent to several historic and currently operating high-grade mines. The identification of a deep, never-drilled target within potentially ultramafic rocks underscores the potential to discover new, high-grade zones at depth, complementing the district’s rich endowment of gold resources.

This target, which has never been drilled and was highlighted during recent compilation work, was identified thanks to a comprehensive IP-MT survey completed by Quantec and reviewed and interpreted by Charles Beaudry, M.Sc., P.Geo. The anomaly sits beneath a sedimentary unit usually mapped as Temiskaming Assemblage and, by its shape and low resistivity, is thought to represent an ultramafic unit. The anomaly’s size, depth, and geological context make it a high-priority drill target, with potential to host significant mineralization similar to nearby high-grade deposits.

‘If it is an ultramafic unit as postulated, it has never been tested in drilling or seen in underground workings and it is possible that the fluids responsible for the Kerr Addison deposit (see Gold Candle news release dated June 3rd 2025) could have penetrated the domain lying beneath the sedimentary unit. This prediction is totally reasonable because of the presence of significant near surface gold mineralization (see Mill Zone on Kerr Addison and McGarry properties) as much as 1,000 metres south of the Larder Lake-Cadillac Deformation Zone (LLCDZ),’ said Charles Beaudry, Director of Stardust.

Next Steps

Stardust plans to conduct an Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey to provide high-resolution 3D imaging of density-velocity contrasts. This approach will refine the depth, size, and geometry of the anomaly and guide the first-ever drill testing of this exciting ultramafic target.

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.

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.’

U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff gave a senior Kremlin official tips on how to sell a Ukraine peace deal to President Donald Trump, a report said.

Witkoff spoke by phone to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s top foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov on Oct. 14, advising him on how Putin should bring up the topic with the U.S. president, according to Bloomberg.

‘We put a 20-point Trump plan together that was 20 points for peace, and I’m thinking maybe we do the same thing with you,’ Witkoff was quoted by Bloomberg as saying, in reference to the Trump administration’s Gaza peace deal.

During the phone call, which lasted about five minutes, Witkoff said he had a deep respect for Putin and that he had informed Trump that he believed Russia has always wanted a peace deal for Ukraine, Bloomberg reported.

Witkoff mentioned that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was visiting the White House in mid-October and that Putin could speak to Trump ahead of that meeting, the report added.

‘Zelenskyy is coming to the White House on Friday,’ Witkoff said, according to a recording of the phone call obtained by Bloomberg. ‘I will go to that because they want me there, but I think, if possible, we have the call with your boss before that Friday meeting.’

Witkoff suggested that Putin congratulate Trump on the Gaza peace deal and say that Russia backed it and that he respects Trump as a man of peace, Bloomberg reported.

‘Here’s what I think would be amazing,’ Witkoff reportedly added. ‘Maybe he says to President Trump: you know, Steve and Yuri discussed a very similar 20-point plan to peace and that could be something that we think might move the needle a little bit. We’re open to those sorts of things.’

Bloomberg also reported that Ushakov said Putin ‘will congratulate’ Trump and say ‘Mr. Trump is a real peace man.’

Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment.

‘This story proves one thing: Special Envoy Witkoff talks to officials in both Russia and Ukraine nearly every day to achieve peace, which is exactly what President Trump appointed him to do,’ White House communications director Steven Cheung told Bloomberg.

Ushakov told Russian media on Wednesday that details about his conversation with Witkoff should not have been leaked, describing the situation as ‘unacceptable,’ according to Reuters.

It added that Ushakov said the leak was aimed at hindering discussions between the U.S. and Russia and that he would be raising the matter with Witkoff.

On Tuesday, Ukraine agreed to the peace deal that would see an end to the war with Russia, a U.S. official told Fox News.

Some minor details of the agreement are still to be sorted out, the official said.

Lt. Col. Jeff Tolbert, a spokesman for U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, had told Fox News that Driscoll and his team met with Russian officials in Abu Dhabi on Monday and Tuesday to discuss the framework for a Ukraine peace deal.

A U.S. official told Fox News that the Ukrainian delegation was also in Abu Dhabi and was in contact with Driscoll and his team.

Fox News’ Ashley Carnahan and Jennifer Griffin contributed to this report.

President Donald Trump says Ukraine and Russia are ‘making progress’ toward a peace agreement, but he conceded that the conflict remains ‘difficult’ to solve.

Trump made the comments while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Tuesday night, giving insight into the ongoing Ukraine-Russia talks. He went on to say that U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff would soon be engaging in talks in Moscow, potentially alongside Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

‘We’re having good talks,’ Trump said. ‘Ukraine is doing well. I think they’re pretty happy about it. I’d like to see it end, and we won’t know for a little while. Well, we’re making progress.’

‘We settled eight wars, and I thought this would be one of the easier ones because of my relationship with President Putin, but this is probably one of the more difficult ones. There’s a lot of hatred,’ he added.

Trump said that Europe is playing a large part in ensuring there are security guarantees for Ukraine to prevent any further aggression from Russia.

The Trump administration had come under scrutiny last week after presenting a 28-point peace plan to U.S. lawmakers. Some lawmakers, including Republicans, initially described it as a ‘wish list’ for Russia.

Trump downplayed that plan while speaking Tuesday night, telling reporters that it was ‘just a map.’

‘All that was was a map. That was not a plan. It was, a concept. And from there they’re taking each one of the 28 points, and then you get down to 22 points. A lot of them were solved and actually very favorably solved. So, so we’ll see how we’ll see what happens,’ he said.

While the talks are moving quickly, Trump said he does not have a deadline for securing a deal.

‘The deadline for me is when it’s over,’ he said. ‘I think everybody’s tired of fighting at this moment. They are losing, losing too many people.’

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.

Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR,OTC:HMRFF) (OTCQB: HMRFF) (‘Homerun’ or the ‘Company’) is proud to announce the successful first commercial installation of its proprietary energy management system, ‘The Hub,’ on a Risen battery energy storage system (BESS) at a customer site, marking a key commercialization milestone for the Company’s AI-driven energy solutions business.

The Hub is Homerun Energy’s advanced AI-enabled Energy Management System (EMS), built to orchestrate batteries and other flexible assets in real time to maximize revenue, reduce operating costs, and protect asset life. By connecting directly to the Risen BESS, The Hub now controls live charging and discharging at the customer’s site based on market signals, grid conditions, and on-site constraints, demonstrating full field functionality on a commercial battery platform.

‘This first commercial installation of The Hub on a Risen battery provides the validation investors have been waiting for,’ said Dr Luca Sorbello, CEO, Homerun Energy ‘We have moved from development to live operations, proving that our AI-enabled control system can unlock more value from storage assets while supporting a cleaner, more reliable grid.’

Learn more about the installation through this informative video: https://youtu.be/zwc_T0sPCVE

AI is central to the intelligence behind The Hub. By continuously analysing real-time data, from grid conditions and market prices to on-site consumption and battery health, The Hub’s AI models predict optimal dispatch strategies before they’re needed. This allows the system to automatically maximize revenue opportunities, reduce operating costs, and protect the battery from unnecessary wear. As The Hub learns from each installation, its algorithms become even more accurate, enabling smarter, faster, and more reliable control across an entire fleet of distributed energy assets.

The inaugural deployment enables:

  • Intelligent dispatch of the battery to capture price arbitrage, peak shaving, and grid-support services
  • Real-time monitoring and analytics, giving asset owners full visibility into performance and health
  • Configurable control strategies, allowing operators to adapt quickly to evolving tariffs, regulations, and market opportunities
  • Scalable architecture, built to manage fleets of storage assets across multiple sites

As renewable generation continues to grow, battery storage and intelligent control systems are becoming critical to balancing supply and demand. With The Hub now operating on a live battery installation, Homerun Energy is positioned to support developers, asset owners, and utilities looking to maximize the value of their storage portfolios.

‘Storage is only as smart as the software that controls it,’ added Luca Sorbello ‘The Hub was built from the ground up for flexibility and scale, so this first installation is just the beginning.’
