Aris Mining Completes Environmental Assessment for Soto Norte Project

B2Gold has reported encouraging drilling results from its Back River Gold District program in Nunavut, confirming high-grade mineralization and a new Tattuk discovery near the Nuvuyak zone. The exploration update follows a 90 day share price return of 37.62% and a year to date gain of 19.19%, though the 30 day share price return slipped 4.77% and the 1 year total shareholder return stands at 2.81%. B2Gold's most followed narrative pegs fair value at CA$11.06 per share against a last close of CA$7.39, a 33% undervaluation gap. Planned operational upgrades including a wind farm and medium-speed generators at Goose are expected to structurally lower long-term fuel costs and emissions. The company's heavy exposure to higher risk regions and its finite reserve base remain key risks to that undervaluation story.

Eldorado Gold has secured permanent connection of its Skouries mine in northern Greece to the national power grid after final approval from the Greek transmission authority. The grid link provides long-term electricity supply for Skouries and supports ongoing processing and mining work as the operation moves toward planned commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2026. The company's shares last closed at CA$54.78, down 8.0% over the past month after a 90-day gain of about 30.2%, with a one-year total shareholder return of roughly 35.7%. Commissioning of the Skouries copper-gold project is slated for the first quarter of 2026 and remains on schedule, with the most followed analyst narrative pegging fair value at about CA$71.91, implying the stock is 24% undervalued.

GoldInxs Mining Corp. has closed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement, issuing 4,315,270 flow-through units at $0.13 each for gross proceeds of $560,985.10 and 784,831 units at $0.11 each for gross proceeds of $86,331.41, for aggregate gross proceeds of $647,316.51.

The company said proceeds will fund exploration work and other operations at its flagship Fishpot Project in Central British Columbia, along with general working capital. GoldInxs intends to pay aggregate cash finder's fees of $28,366.25 and issue 218,201 non-transferable finder's warrants, subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance, and may complete additional tranches of the offering. An insider purchased 385,000 flow-through units representing $50,050 of the gross proceeds, a related party transaction the company said is exempt from formal valuation and minority shareholder approval under MI 61-101.

StrikePoint Gold Inc. has completed its acquisition of the Northumberland Gold Project in Nevada's Walker Lane from subsidiaries of Newmont Corporation, paying US$70 million in upfront cash at closing on October 6, 2026. The company also agreed to two additional contingent cash payments of US$25 million each, the first due within 120 days after completion of a feasibility study and the second within 120 days after achieving certain commercial production milestones at Northumberland. The project hosts an initial independent mineral resource estimate of 2.86 million ounces of gold equivalent in the indicated category and 1.57 million ounces of gold equivalent in the inferred category, contained within 67 million tonnes and 31 million tonnes respectively, based on more than 1,500 historical drill holes. The escrow release conditions for a C$190 million bought deal private placement of 95 million subscription receipts at C$2.00 each, led by sole underwriter Canaccord Genuity Corp., were satisfied on October 6, 2026, ahead of the October 24 deadline, and the subscription receipts converted into 95 million common shares. Concurrently with closing, StrikePoint sold a 0.5% net smelter return royalty over Northumberland to an affiliate of Tembo Capital for US$10 million, with the company holding a right to buy back half of that royalty for US$25 million. Alan Pangbourne, who brings over 35 years of global mining operations experience, has been appointed to the board as chairman, and trading in the shares is expected to resume on the TSX Venture Exchange on or about October 8, 2026.
