Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire – November 10, 2025 Juggernaut Exploration Ltd (JUGR.V) (OTCPK: JUGRF) (FSE: 4JE) ( the ‘Company’ or ‘Juggernaut’) is excited to announce that detailed mapping and sampling have confirmed that the gold-rich Big Mac Zone, Whopper Zone and Gold Dome Zone all form part of the 22 Km 2 district-scale Eldorado System that remains wide open where grab samples assayed up to 263.70 gt AuEq or 8.48 ozt AuEq and channel cuts assayed up to 4.89 gt AuEq over 5.21 m 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, remains open and is drill ready on the Big One property (the ‘Property’), Golden Triangle, British Columbia. In addition, based on excellent assay results, the Company has acquired additional claims and expanded the Gold Swarm discovery area of strong gold potential from 1 km 2 to 3 km 2 and 700 m of vertical relief and remains open, effectively tripling this area of strong gold potential, where grab samples assayed up to 231.81 gt AuEq or 7.45 ozt AuEq and channel cuts assayed up to 4.51 gt AuEq over 4.36 m that remains open and is drill ready. The Big One discovery is located in an area of recent glacial and snowpack abatement adjacent to the Tier 1 gold-rich porphyry systems, the likes of Galore Creek. The 100% controlled Big One property covers 39,271 hectares of geological terrane with tremendous additional discovery potential.

Big One Gold Rich District Scale System Highlights:

  • The district-scale Eldorado System covers an area ~half the size of the Island of Manhattan (22 km ) that remains wide open where grab samples assayed up to 263.70 g/t AuEq or 8.48 oz/t AuEq and channel cuts assayed up to 4.89 g/t AuEq over 5.21 m from 400 mineralized veins that remain open and are up to 10 m wide, the equivalent to ~3-story building, hosted in shear zones up to 50 m wide, comparable to a 15-story building, and are exposed on surface for 500 m, or 5 football fields, with 1 km of vertical relief, the height of 2.5 Empire State Buildings.

  • The Gold Swarm Area of strong gold potential has been expanded from 1 km to 3 km , equivalent to more than the downtown core of Vancouver B.C, with 700 m of vertical relief and remains wide open, with 100 veins up to 4.5 m wide, the equivalent of a 1.5-story building, and exposed on surface for 200 m equivalent to 2 football fields and remain open containing grab samples that assayed up to 231.81 g/t AuEq or 7.45 oz/t AuEq a nd channel cuts that assayed up to 4.51 g/t AuEq over 4.36 m. The Gold Swarm Area is drill ready.

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 withing 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 huge district-scale gold system that remains wide open.

  • The polymetallic veins, alteration signature, geochemical pathfinder 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 over 22 km

  • The company recently received a 5-year property-wide advanced exploration drill permit.

  • 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 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 km2 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.

  • Multiple drill-ready targets have been confirmed and are planned to be tested in the fully funded inaugural drill program and include but are not limited to: the 22 km Eldorado System hosting the Gold Dome Zone where grab samples assayed up to 263.70 g/t AuEq or 8.48 oz/t AuEq; the Big Mac Zone where grab samples assayed up to 113.92 g/t AuEq or 3.66 oz/t AuEq; the Whopper Zone where grab samples assayed up to 43.94 g/t AuEq or 1.41 oz/t AuEq; and the Gold Swarm Area where grab samples assayed up to 231.81 g/t AuEq or 7.45 oz/t AuEq.

  • Juggernaut is working in consultation with the Tahltan First Nation and the local community and is committed to maintaining respectful and collaborative relationships. 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.

Dan Stuart, President and CEO of Juggernaut Exploration states: ‘With a district-scale discovery of this magnitude host to so many large gold-rich veins and shears exposed on surface that rise above the valley floor for >1 km we are likely only seeing the tip of the iceberg on this mountain of gold. We look forward to the fully funded maiden drill program on this remarkable gold discovery with much anticipation. The best is yet to come!’

Manuele Lazzarotto, PhD, Chief Geologist of Juggernaut Exploration, states: ‘With the advanced exploration permit in hand, we look forward to unlocking the full potential of the Big One gold discovery in the third dimension during the inaugural drill program. Once we receive, compile, and interpret all the deliverables from the detailed and regional mapping, UAV orthophotos survey, and LiDAR survey, the same team responsible for the Tier 1 Surebet gold discovery will design and execute the maiden drill program. Obvious opportunities with the scale and grades seen on Big One are extremely rare, and we have clearly barely begun to scratch the surface. The team looks forward to testing this remarkable discovery at depth.’

The Big One property is situated in a region that is well known for hosting Tier 1 precious metal and porphyry deposits, several of which occur near the property including the multiple porphyry systems at Galore Creek (12,159 million pounds of copper, 9.438 million ounces of gold, 174.086 million ounces of silver), the world’s largest known gold reserve at KSM (47.3 million ounces of gold, 160 million ounces of silver, 7.32 billion pounds of copper) and the polymetallic copper project at Shaft Creek (5 billion pounds of copper, 3.7 million ounces of gold, 16.4 million ounces of silver), as well as the Brucejack high-grade epithermal gold deposit (14 million ounces of gold, 91.8 million ounces of silver), 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 within the Big One claims.

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).

The Company would like to extend a special thanks to the Tahltan First Nation, the local community, and service providers for supporting our efforts and contributing to the success of this year’s program. We look forward to continuing to work with the Tahltan First Nation and all local stakeholders and businesses while we move forward to unlocking the full potential of this amazing new discovery. WORKING TOGETHER WE SUCCEED!

The reader is cautioned that grab samples are spot samples which are typically, but not exclusively, constrained to mineralization. Grab samples are selective in nature and collected to determine the presence or absence of mineralization and are not intended to be representative of the material sampled.

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.

Questcorp Mining Inc. (CSE: QQQ,OTC:QQCMF) (OTCQB: QQCMF) (FSE: D910) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Questcorp’) completed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement (the ‘Offering’) on October 24, 2025. In connection with closing of the first tranche, the Company issued 14,000,334 units (each, a ‘Unit’) at a price of $0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds of $2,100,050. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (each, a ‘Share’) and one-half-of-one share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, an ‘Warrant’). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire an additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.20 until October 24, 2027, subject to accelerated expiry in the event the closing price of the Shares is $0.50 or higher for ten consecutive trading days.

A portion of the Units issued under the first tranche the Offering, representing $2,000,000 are held pursuant to a sharing agreement entered into with an institutional investor, Sorbie Bornholm LP (‘Sorbie‘) and the Company (the ‘Sharing Agreement‘). Funds deposited under the Sharing Agreement are secured in escrow with a third-party. The Sharing Agreement provides that the Company’s economic interest will be determined in twenty-four monthly settlement tranches as measured against the Benchmark Price (as defined herein). Unless subject to adjustment, each monthly settlement tranche will total $79,792.

If, at the time of settlement, the Settlement Price (determined monthly based on a volume-weighted average price for twenty trading days prior to the settlement date) (the ‘Settlement Price‘) exceeds the benchmark price of $0.1949 (the ‘Benchmark Price‘), the Company shall receive more than one-hundred percent of the monthly settlement due, on a pro-rata basis. There is no upper limit placed on the additional proceeds receivable by the Company as part of the monthly settlements. If, at the time of settlement, the Settlement Price is below the Benchmark Price of $0.1949, the Company will receive less than one-hundred percent of the monthly settlement due on a pro-rata basis. In no event will a decline in the Settlement Price of the Units result in an increase or decrease in the number of Units being issued to Sorbie, but it could result in the Company receiving less than the full amount of the subscription received from Sorbie or in the Company receiving a nominal amount for a particular month.

As an example, the following are the monthly settlement amounts the Company would receive based on varying Settlement Prices:

Settlement Price Monthly Settlement Amount
$0.2449 $100,262
$0.1949 (Benchmark Price) $79,792
$0.1449 $59,322

Fertilizer prices remained elevated in Q3 compared to both the first half of the year and the end of 2024.

Potash prices surged at the start of the year as the Trump administration threatened tariffs on Canada, the top supplier to US farmers. During the third quarter, prices were 20 percent higher than at the end of last year.

Meanwhile, phosphate prices continued to climb through Q3 on the back of supply shortages, spurred by export restrictions from top producer China. Prices were further influenced by US tariffs.

What happened to phosphate and potash prices in Q3?

According to data from the World Bank, the average quarterly phosphate price rose to US$770.60 per metric ton (MT), up from US$673.20 in Q2, and significantly higher than the annual average of US$563.70 in 2024.

On a monthly basis, phosphate climbed to US$736 in July, then climbed to a three year high of US$795.10 in August. Since then, the price has fallen to US$780.63 in September and US$754 in October.

The quarterly average for potash fell slightly in Q3 to US$352.20 per MT, down from US$359.20 the previous quarter, but remained higher than US$283.90 in the last quarter of 2024.

On a monthly basis, potash prices eased to US$362.50 in July, and continued to fall to US$356.50 in August. They sank further to US$352.50 in September and US$352 in October.

What factors impacted phosphate in Q3?

Phosphate prices have been primarily influenced over the last several years by export restrictions from China, which have declined to 6.6 million MT in 2024 from 9 million MT in 2021. The restrictions were put in place to protect the domestic supply, and while the hope was that they would eventually ease, that hasn’t happened.

“As expected, their exports started to arrive in July to September; however, the government had a self-imposed October 15 cutoff date for export submission. That date came and went without an extension, so now the belief is their flows will slow to a crawl very soon,” he said. The situation may face additional headwinds, as China has imposed more restrictions on key battery technologies and precursors for phosphate-based batteries. These restrictions will add to demand for ex-China supply as the agricultural sector competes with battery makers for a limited supply of phosphate.

Demand for phosphate is also high, particularly from India, which has been working to increase its stockpiles since the end of 2024, when they reached a low of 1.1 million MT. However, stockpiles had more than doubled to 2.4 million MT at the start of October, with imports climbing to 4 million MT during the April to September period.

Much of the demand has been covered by supply from Saudi Arabia and Morocco, which signed several offtake agreements with Indian importers in July. “They were a major driver of higher prices for much of 2025 as they played catch up on stockpiles, and have finally reached a comfortable number of tons, which has allowed them to slow their desperate pace. The slower demand pace has allowed the market time to breathe/correct lower,” Linville said.

For US-based farmers, supply isn’t the only issue.

On August 7, a host of new tariffs as high as 25 percent were applied to phosphate imports, including from Saudi Arabia, which accounted for 54.7 percent of imports during the first five months of the year. Although there were some concerns that higher prices could prompt farmers to rethink their strategy, Linville hasn’t seen that materialize either.

With reports that farm yields this year have been higher, it may prompt farmers who have been on the fence about a fall application of phosphate to reconsider, as a significant yield would indicate some phosphate soil depletion.

“While still spoty, we are continuing to hear reports that phosphate demand is better than expected,” he said.

However, Linville noted that a surge in last-minute demand it could make supplies tighter and limit the ability for phosphate to make it onto the fields.

What factors impacted potash in Q3?

Linville said potash news was quiet during the quarter, pointing to stable prices and a well-supplied market.

In July, BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) announced it was delaying the opening of its Jansen mine in Saskatchewan. It was initially slated to start production in 2026, but has instead moved its timeline back to 2027 and is also considering pushing the second phase to 2031, citing cost overruns that have ballooned to US$7 billion.

Although potash has so far escaped US tariffs, Linville noted some concern following Ontario’s anti-tariff ad, which ran in the US during the World Series. “We continue to hope/believe that potash will be left alone as part of the North America Trade agreement. Assuming potash is left alone, markets should continue as normal; however, if we start seeing barriers to entry, US farmers will likely bear the brunt of most/all of those tariffs,” he said

Potash and phosphate price forecast for 2025

While potash markets remain stable, phosphate markets are much more dynamic.

Unless there is a significant shift in China’s exports, supply should remain tight. In his most recent weekly update on November 5, Linville noted that the situation could become dire for US consumers before the end of the year.

“We continue to advise our people that if they decide they need phosphate after all, do not wait to lock it up. Days very well may matter. Heck, hours might matter. Supplies are tight and can ill-afford a sudden demand jump,” he wrote.

Additionally, markets are likely to become further strained in the years to come as limited supply meets increased demand from outside the agricultural sector.

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Wednesday (November 5) as of 9:00 p.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$103,902, a 3.3 percent increase in 24 hours and its highest valuation of the day. Bitcoin’s lowest valuation on Wednesday was US$102,377.

Bitcoin price performance, November 5, 2025.

Chart via TradingView.

Both Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) are showing signs of recovery after a volatile start to the week. Current price action is driven by derivatives liquidations, options settlement dynamics and sustained retail and institutional fear.

Ether ended the trading day at US$3,448.04, an increase of 7.5 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$3,326.02. Like Bitcoin, Ether is attempting a rebound near a significant technical and psychological level, but uncertainty remains elevated. The Fear and Greed Index remains in “extreme fear” at 20, reflecting persistent nervousness after long-term holders and whales triggered mass liquidations.

“Market data and technical signals suggest Bitcoin may trade within a US$94,000–US$118,000 range in the near term. The lower bound represents a healthy retracement zone consistent with subdued ETF inflows, while the upper range reflects a measured recovery below the October high near US$125K. Ethereum is likely to move between US$3,000 and US$4,400, supported by Layer-2 expansion and renewed DeFi participation,’ she said via email.

“Overall, the market appears to be stabilizing in a more disciplined, data-driven manner, signaling that confidence is returning through structural resilience and steady capital reallocation.”

Meanwhile, Galaxy’s head of research, Alex Thorn, said that the investment company has lowered its 2025 Bitcoin price forecast from US$185,000 to US$120,000.

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$162.69, up by 6.6 percent over the last 24 hours and at its highest valuation of the day. Its lowest was US$157.65.
  • XRP was trading for US$2.37, up by 9.7 percent over the last 24 hours to its highest valuation of the day. Its lowest was US$2.25.

Crypto derivatives and market indicators

Over the past four hours, Bitcoin has seen liquidations totaling US$16.11 million, mostly in short positions, suggesting a short-covering rally and improving near-term sentiment. Futures open interest is fractionally down 0.15 percent to US$70.17 billion, indicating a minor position reduction after aggressive selling earlier in the week.

The funding rate is neutral at 0.001, signaling balanced sentiment between longs and shorts, while implied volatility remains elevated at 45.9 percent, pointing to continued market uncertainty.

Max pain for options expiry sits at US$104,000, a level that the Bitcoin price is approaching.

Meanwhile, US$27.84 million in Ether options positions, also primarily shorts, have been liquidated in the past four hours, contributing to the uptrend as risk reversals shift. Ether has seen a 1.51 percent increase in open interest to US$40.3 billion, and its funding rate is slightly negative at -0.001, strengthening the bullish undertone.

Bitcoin dominance stands at 57.21 percent.

Today’s crypto news to know

Ripple secures US$500 million boost at US$40 billion valuation

Ripple has raised US$500 million in a new funding round led by Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities, valuing the company at US$40 billion. The investment follows Ripple’s US$1 billion tender offer earlier this year at the same valuation, marking a continuation of investor confidence in the firm’s long-term outlook.

Ripple said the funds will strengthen its partnerships with financial institutions and expand its services across custody, stablecoin issuance and crypto treasury management. The company’s RLUSD stablecoin has gained traction for corporate payments amid clearer US regulations under the GENIUS Act. The funding also positions Ripple to deepen its role in global payments as more firms integrate stablecoins into settlement networks.

Canada announces plans to introduce stablecoin legislation

The Canadian government announced as part of its 2025 budget that it plans to introduce legislation regulating fiat-backed stablecoins. The legislation aims to provide a secure, stable framework encouraging the development of Canadian-dollar pegged stablecoins, modernizing payment systems and fostering digital innovation.

The new rules will require stablecoin issuers to maintain sufficient asset reserves to back their digital currencies, safeguard consumer interests and comply with national security standards to protect personal data.

The Bank of Canada will receive C$10 million over two years starting in the 2026 to 2027 period to oversee the new framework, with ongoing costs expected to be covered by stablecoin issuers.

Northern Data exits Bitcoin mining in US$200 million AI transition

Northern Data Group, Europe’s largest Bitcoin-mining company, is divesting its mining arm, Peak Mining, in a deal worth up to US$200 million as it pivots entirely toward artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. The transaction includes US$50 million in upfront cash and up to US$150 million in performance-based payments tied to future profits.

The move follows the Bitcoin halving this past April, which cut mining revenues in half and accelerated the firm’s strategic shift. The company plans to repurpose its mining facilities in Texas for high-performance AI workloads, which can yield up to 10 times more revenue per megawatt than Bitcoin mining.

The company already owns over 220,000 GPUs through prior acquisitions.

Balancer protocol suffers major exploit

The Balancer DeFi protocol suffered a major exploit on Tuesday (November 3), losing about US$128 million in assets from its V2 Composable Stable Pools due to a precision rounding error and access control flaws in its smart contracts.

According to a report released after the attack, the infiltrator manipulated swap calculations and batch swaps to drain liquidity across multiple blockchains, including Ether, Polygon, Arbitrum and others.

Balancer promptly paused affected pools, confirmed no impact on V3 or other versions, and is collaborating with forensic and security experts to trace and recover funds. So far, US$19.3 million worth of StakeWise osETH has been recovered. Balancer has offered a white hat bounty for full asset return within 48 hours and continues investigating.

The global lithium market saw sharp swings in Q3 2025 as shifting supply dynamics, policy uncertainty, and geopolitical developments reshaped investor sentiment.

After hitting a four-year low in June, benchmark lithium carbonate prices briefly surged to an 11 month high in August on speculation of Australian supply cuts, before easing to US$11,185 per metric ton by quarter’s end.

Market watchers say sentiment-driven moves continue to dominate a sector still facing oversupply, while US policy shifts and China’s regulatory measures add further uncertainty to the outlook.

Against this backdrop, Canadian lithium stocks are gaining attention as investors look for companies positioned to benefit from long-term demand growth while navigating short-term price pressure.

1. Consolidated Lithium Metals (TSXV:CLM)

Year-to-date gain: 500 percent
Market cap: C$23.36 million
Share price: C$0.060

Consolidated Lithium Metals is a Canadian junior exploration company focused on acquiring, developing and advancing lithium projects in Québec. Its properties — Vallée, Baillargé, Preissac-LaCorne and Duval — are located within the spodumene-rich La Corne Batholith area, near the restarted North American Lithium mine, a key area in Canada’s growing lithium sector.

Consolidated Lithium started the year with a C$300 million private placement earmarked for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In July, the company commenced its 2025 summer exploration program at the Preissac project, excavating a 100-by-30-meter trench in an area with a known lithium soil anomaly, uncovering an 18-meter-wide pegmatite body at surface.

Twenty-five channel samples were collected and sent for analysis, while additional soil and biogeochemical sampling was conducted to further assess lithium-bearing pegmatites on site.

At the end of August, Consolidated Lithium signed a non-binding letter of intent with SOQUEM, a subsidiary of Investissement Québec, to acquire an option to earn up to an 80 percent interest in the Kwyjibo rare earth project.

The project is located roughly 125 kilometers northeast of Sept-Îles in Québec’s Côte-Nord region.

The acquisition news led to a share price spike for the company. While the company has made no recent announcements, an uptick in lithium prices in October helped Consolidated shares rally further to a year-to-date high of C$0.06 on October 22 and again on October 28.

2. Stria Lithium (TSXV:SRA)

Year-to-date gain: 416.67 percent
Market cap: C$12.22 million
Share price: C$0.31

Stria Lithium is a Canadian exploration company focused on developing domestic lithium resources to support the growing demand for electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries.

The company’s flagship Central Pontax lithium project spans 36 square kilometers in Québec’s Eeyou Istchee James Bay region.

Cygnus Metals (TSXV:CYG) has an earn-in agreement with Stria to earn up to a 70 percent interest in the Pontax project. Cygnus completed the first stage in July 2023, acquiring a 51 percent interest by investing C$4 million in exploration and issuing over 9 million shares to Stria.

Through its joint venture with Cygnus, Stria has outlined a JORC-compliant maiden inferred resource of 10.1 million metric tons grading 1.04 percent Li2O.

At the start of 2025 Stria closed a non-brokered private placement for C$650,000. The funds will be used in part for the evaluation of new mineral opportunities, according to the company.

In May, Stria and Cygnus agreed to extend the second stage of Cygnus’s earn-in agreement on the Pontax lithium project by 24 months.

Shares of Stria registered a year-to-date high of C$0.38 on October 16, coinciding with rising lithium prices.

3. Lithium South Development (TSXV:LIS)

Year-to-date gain: 280 percent
Market cap: C$42.79 million
Share price: C$0.38

Canada-based Lithium South Development owns 100 percent of the HMN lithium project in Argentina’s Salta and Catamarca provinces, situated in the heart of the lithium-rich Hombre Muerto Salar. The project lies adjacent to active lithium operations, including Rio Tinto’s (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO) lithium operations to the south and South Korean company POSCO Holdings’ (NYSE:PKX,KRX:005490) billion-dollar lithium development to the east.

Exploration has defined a NI 43-101 compliant resource of 1.58 million metric tons of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) at an average grade of 736 milligrams per liter lithium, with the majority in the measured category.

A preliminary economic assessment outlines the potential for a 15,600 metric ton per year lithium carbonate operation, and the company is advancing the project toward a feasibility study.

In January 2024, Lithium South and POSCO signed an agreement to jointly develop the HMN lithium project. Under the deal, the companies will share production 50/50 from the Norma Edith and Viamonte blocks in Salta and Catamarca, resolving overlapping claims.

As for 2025, at the end of July, Lithium South received a non-binding cash offer of US$62 million from POSCO for HMN and all of Lithium South’s other concessions in the Hombre Muerto Salar.

The offer is subject to a 60 day due diligence period and a subsequent 60 day negotiation and execution phase for a definitive agreement, the company said. As of late September, the due diligence has largely been completed and the companies are negotiating the definitive agreement.

Company shares surged to C$0.41 in early August following the news. Shares rose to a year-to-date high of C$0.415 on October 24, likely in conjunction with lithium price positivity.

4. Standard Lithium (TSXV:SLI)

Year-to-date gain: 152.83 percent
Market cap: C$1.28 billion
Share price: C$5.36

Standard Lithium is a US-focused lithium development company advancing a portfolio of high-grade lithium-brine projects with an emphasis on sustainability and commercial-scale production.

The company employs a fully integrated direct lithium extraction process and is developing its flagship Smackover Formation assets in Arkansas and Texas, including the South West Arkansas project in partnership with Equinor ASA, under the joint venture subsidiary Smackover Lithium.

Standard is also actively exploring additional lithium brine opportunities in East Texas.

In April, the South West Arkansas project was one of 10 US critical minerals projects designated for fast-tracking under FAST-41.

According to Standard’s Q2 2025 results released in August, Smackover Lithium reported strong progress on its South West Arkansas project during the quarter.

Exploration for the project’s Phase 1 operations concluded, and the Lester exploration well yielded the highest lithium brine grades to date, averaging 582 milligrams per liter and peaking at 616 milligrams per liter. Key regulatory milestones included the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission approving a 2.5 percent royalty rate and granting brine production unit approval for Phase 1.

Additionally, through a partnership with Telescope Innovations the company advanced a new process to convert lithium hydroxide into battery-grade lithium sulfide.

In September, Standard Lithium reported results of its definitive feasibility study (DFS) for the South West Arkansas project with a targeted first production date in 2028.

The DFS notes an initial capacity of 22,500 metric tons per year of battery-grade lithium carbonate. The study outlines a 20-year-plus operating life based on average lithium concentrations of 481 milligrams per liter, supported by detailed resource and reserve modeling.

The company officially filed the DFS on October 14, leading to a share price bump and year-to-date high of C$7.65 on October 16.

Year-to-date gains: 94.12 percent
Market cap: C$15.75 million
Share price: C$0.33

Exploration and development company United Lithium owns a portfolio of global assets in Sweden, Finland and the United States. The company’s primary focus is the Bergby lithium project in Central Sweden.

In March, United Lithium reported positive results from mineralogical test work on four pegmatite samples — B, C, D and E — at the Bergby project. The study analyzed the chemical and mineralogical composition of the samples to better understand the lithium-bearing LCT (lithium, cesium, tantalum) pegmatites.

An October 17 announcement from United reported it entered a binding letter of intent to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Swedish Minerals. If the deal goes through, it will create a Nordic-based company with lithium, uranium and rare earth projects.

Under the agreement, United Lithium will issue Swedish Minerals shareholders 25 million common shares of United at C$0.20 each and pay C$450,000 in cash, subject to regulatory approval.

Shares of United Lithium spiked following the acquisition news and continued upward to a year-to-date high of C$0.35 on October 27.

Vancouver, British Columbia, November 5th, 2025 TheNewswire – Prismo Metals Inc. (the ‘ Company ‘ ) (CSE: PRIZ,OTC:PMOMF) (OTCQB: PMOMF) is pleased to announce that Walnut Mines LLC, the owner of the Hot Breccia claims optioned as to 75% by the Company, has agreed to extend certain dates to complete cash payments and exploration expenditures.

Alain Lambert, CEO of Prismo said: Prismo remains firmly committed to advancing the Hot Breccia Project, located in the heart of Arizona s historic copper belt. We appreciate the cooperation of Walnut Mines LLC in extending certain milestone obligations, which provides the Company with additional flexibility as we assess a range of strategic alternatives. Each of these paths is designed to position Prismo to commence drilling on what we consider one of the most compelling copper exploration opportunities in Arizona and the broader United States.

Dr Linus Keating, manager of Walnut Mines LLC, enthusiastically commented: ‘Walnut and Prismo remain firmly dedicated to advancing Hot Breccia towards drill discovery. Accomplishing that goal requires that we continue to work together and support each other. This extension will provide the necessary time, and better focus resources, to succeed at Hot Breccia.’

More specifically, the extensions are as follows: (i) extend the milestone date to complete exploration expenditures of $1,750,000 from January 31, 2026 to January 31, 2027; and (ii) extend the milestone date to complete exploration expenditures of $2,000,000 from January 31, 2027 to January 31, 2028 and (iii) extend the milestone date to complete the final cash payment of $275,000 to Walnut Mines LLC from January 31, 2026 to July 31, 2026.

Prismo s Hot Breccia project lies at the heart of the Arizona Copper Belt, which hosts several globally significant porphyry copper deposits.  Examples of these significant deposits are Freeport McMoRan’s Miami-Inspiration mining complex, BHP’s San Manuel mine, Rio Tinto and BHP’s Resolution deposit and others (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. Location of the Hot Breccia Project in the Arizona Copper Belt.

Historical drilling carried out in the mid to late 1970 s by a Rio Tinto subsidiary intersected high-grade copper mineralization at depths ranging from 640 to 830 meters below surface. Several holes targeted an area with a coincident magnetic high, believed to be caused by magnetite skarn that was cut in the drill holes and that occurs in xenoliths in cross cutting dikes exposed at the surface. Prismo believes those intercepts may represent the periphery of the upper portion of a large mineralized system.

Support for the Company s mineralization model at the project comes from several sources, including the results of historical drilling, geophysical surveys, distribution of dikes with xenoliths of Cu-bearing skarn, the 2023 ZTEM survey as well as the results of an AI study. The anomalous target area identified in Prismo s modelling measures 1,100 meters by 1,150 meters.

Dr. Craig Gibson, Chief Exploration Officer of Prismo stated: The copper exploration target at Hot Breccia has geophysical, geochemical and geological features characteristic of many porphyry copper deposits. The project area has a regional setting similar to BHP-Rio Tinto’s Resolution copper deposit located 40 kilometers to the northwest of Hot Breccia and which is considered to be one on the greatest copper discoveries in the history of North American mining. He added: The drill program is intended to drill through the entire prospective Paleozoic carbonate stratigraphy into the postulated porphyry body/breccia zone. The exploration team will take advantage of geological information provided by each hole during drilling to refine targeting of subsequent holes.

Historical drill holes cut high grade skarn mineralization including 23 meters with 0.54% Cu at 640 meters depth (hole OC-1), 18 m with 1.4% Cu and 4.65% Zn at 830 meters depth (hole OCC-7), and 7.6 m with 1.73% Cu and 0.11% Zn at 703 meters and 4.6 meters with 1.4% Cu and 0.88% Zn at 716 meters (OCC-8).  Mineralization occurs within a several hundred-meter-thick altered zone hosted in favorable Paleozoic carbonate rocks that underly a sequence of Cretaceous andesitic volcanic rocks. These carbonates are the same rocks that host the high-grade copper mineralization at Freeport s nearby Christmas mine.  The historic drilling intersected a blind mineralized intrusion associated with the skarn mineralization, providing an immediate drill target that is believed to be the source of the mineralization at Hot Breccia (Figure 2). Several magnetic highs in the region surrounding the proposed intrusion may also indicated buried skarn mineralization and provide additional exploration targets.

About Hot Breccia

The Hot Breccia property consists of 1,420 hectares in 227 contiguous mining claims located in the world class Arizona Copper Belt between several very well understood world-class copper mines including Morenci, Ray and Resolution (Figure 1). Hot Breccia shows many features in common with these neighboring systems, most prominently a swarm of porphyry dikes and series of breccia pipes containing numerous fragments of well copper-mineralized rocks mixed with fragments of volcanic and sedimentary derived from considerable depth. Prismo performed a ZTEM survey last year that identified a very large conductive anomaly directly beneath the breccia outcrops.

Sampling at the project has shown the presence of copper mineralization associated with dacite dikes that transported fragments of strongly mineralized carbonate rocks to the surface from depths believed to be 400-1,000 meters. Drilling deep holes is necessary to tap into the source of these mineralized fragments found at surface.

Assay results from historic drill holes are unverified as the core has been destroyed, but information has been gathered from memos, photos and drill logs that contain some, but not all, of the assay results and descriptions.  Technical information from adjacent or nearby properties does not mean nor does it imply that Prismo will obtain similar results from its own properties.

Data on previous drilling and geophysics is historical in nature and has not been verified, is not compliant with NI 43-101 standards and should not be relied upon; the Company is using the information only as a guide to aid in exploration planning.
