Sirios Resources

Investor Insight

Sirios Resources is advancing one of Québec’s largest undeveloped gold deposits, combining a multi-million-ounce resource base, strong infrastructure access and deep regional expertise backed by the Osisko development ecosystem, creating a clear pathway toward re-rating and growth.

Overview

Sirios Resources (TSXV:SOI,OTCQB:SIREF) is a Québec-based gold exploration and development company focused on advancing a portfolio of high-potential projects in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Québec. The company’s flagship asset, the Cheechoo gold project, ranks among the largest gold projects in the province by resource size. The project benefits from favourable geology, near-surface mineralization, and proximity to existing infrastructure, including road access, power lines and the nearby Éléonore mine. Sirios is advancing Cheechoo through systematic drilling, resource expansion and technical studies with the objective of progressing the project toward a PEA.

In December 2025, Sirios announced a transformational combination with OVI Mining, creating a district-scale gold platform anchored by Cheechoo and complemented by the Corvet Est and PLEX projects. The transaction brings Sirios into the Osisko development ecosystem, strengthening the company’s leadership team with proven mine-building and capital markets expertise, while retaining Sirios’ long-standing geological knowledge of James Bay.

With over three decades of continuous exploration in the region and strong relationships with local and Indigenous communities, Sirios is well-positioned to unlock value through disciplined project advancement and exploration-driven growth.

Company Highlights

  • Flagship Cheechoo gold project hosts approximately 3 million ounces of gold, including 1.3 million ounces indicated and 1.7 million ounces inferred, including additional underground resources
  • Located in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec, a Tier-1 mining jurisdiction with strong government and community support
  • Low strip ratio (2.9:1) and high gold recoveries (92 percent) support attractive open-pit development potential at Cheechoo
  • Strategic combination with OVI Mining brings Osisko-backed leadership, capital markets strength and additional district-scale exploration assets

Key Projects

Cheechoo Gold Project

The 100 percent owned Cheechoo gold project is Sirios’ flagship asset located in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec, near existing infrastructure and operating mines. The project hosts a large, near-surface gold deposit with scalable, open-pit potential and higher-grade underground extensions.

A 2025 mineral resource estimate outlines approximately 3 million ounces of gold, including 1.3 million ounces indicated at 1.12 grams per ton (g/t) gold and 1.7 million ounces inferred at 1.23 g/t gold, which includes 446,000 ounces of underground resources grading 3.09 g/t gold. The deposit exhibits a low strip ratio of 2.9:1 and high metallurgical recoveries of approximately 92 percent, supporting favourable development characteristics.

In addition to the current resource, Cheechoo hosts a significant exploration target ranging from 31 to 40 million tonnes grading between 1.27 and 1.45 g/t gold, highlighting strong potential for further resource growth. Sirios’ ongoing work is focused on expanding the resource base and advancing the project toward a preliminary economic assessment.

Corvet Est Gold Project

Corvet Est is a 6,500-hectare district-scale land package located east of Cheechoo within the same highly prospective James Bay geological corridor. The project comprises a historically drilled gold system that has seen limited modern exploration since 2012. Following consolidation by OVI Mining, Corvet Est now offers Sirios exposure to a large land package with multiple mineralized zones and significant upside potential.

Plex Gold Project

The PLEX project is a 21,000-hectare district-scale land package hosting the Orfée gold zone, characterized by multiple structural corridors and underexplored depth and strike potential. Historical drilling has confirmed gold mineralization, and Sirios plans to advance compilation, target refinement and exploration programs to unlock the project’s discovery potential.

Aquilon Gold Project

The Aquilon project is an optioned gold asset located in James Bay and hosts numerous high-grade gold showings, including some of the highest gold grades historically reported in Québec. Recent drilling has outlined a broad gold-mineralized halo with strong expansion potential. Exploration at Aquilon is currently being advanced in partnership with Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada, providing Sirios with continued exposure to exploration upside while limiting capital commitments.

Crypto Market Update: Robinhood Shares Fall on Lower Quarterly Crypto Revenue

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Wednesday (February 11) 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 (BTC) was priced at US$67,551.42, down 18 percent over the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin price performance, February 11, 2026.

Chart via TradingView.

“Bitcoin appears to be entering a stabilization phase before its next directional move. In the near term, prices are likely to consolidate around the US$70,000 level as the market digests recent volatility and continued profit-taking, but the broader setup points to a gradual recovery toward the US$85,000 to US$95,000 range by mid-2026.

“The key driver is institutional behavior: ETF outflows are slowing rather than accelerating, suggesting that forced selling pressure is easing and longer-term allocators are becoming more selective instead of exiting outright. At the same time, regulatory progress — particularly around stablecoin frameworks and clearer market structure — continues to strengthen Bitcoin’s position as a maturing asset within global portfolios, especially as investors look for inflation hedges amid ongoing macro uncertainty.

“While short-term price action may remain uneven, innovation across DeFi and tokenized assets is reinforcing the underlying crypto ecosystem, creating conditions that have historically supported post-correction recoveries and attracted long-term capital back into Bitcoin.”

Ether (ETH) was priced at US$1,955.33, down by 2.8 percent over the last 24 hours.

Altcoin price update

  • XRP (XRP) was priced at US$1.38, down by 1.2 percent over 24 hours.
  • Solana (SOL) was trading at US$79.64, down by 3.5 percent over 24 hours.

Today’s crypto news to know

Robinhood shares Q4 earnings

Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) released its latest quarterly report on Wednesday, revealing net income totaling US$605 million for Q4 2025 and US$1.9 billion for the year.

The company reported a record US$1.28 billion in quarterly revenue, a 27 percent increase year-on-year, but shy of estimates of about US$1.36 billion. Its full‑year 2025 revenue reached US$4.5 billion, up 52 percent.

However, crypto revenue fell 38 percent to US$221 million in Q4.

Despite a fundamentally solid quarter, with record earnings per share of US$0.66 in Q4 and US$2.05 for 2025, shares dropped between 7 and 12 percent after the print and closed 9 percent lower on the day.

In other news, Robinhood launched a public testnet for Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum Layer 2 built on Arbitrum technology and designed to support tokenized real‑world and digital assets.

Developers can begin building and testing apps on it ahead of a future mainnet launch. The testnet offers network access, developer docs and compatibility with standard Ethereum tools, plus early support from infrastructure providers such as Alchemy, Chainlink and LayerZero. Robinhood also said it is committing US$1 million to the 2026 Arbitrum Open House program to encourage developer activity on the testnet and eventual mainnet.

Banks dig in on stablecoin yield as CLARITY Act stalls

US banks are hardening their position on stablecoin rules, escalating a policy clash that has left the long-awaited CLARITY Act stuck in Congress. During a White House-hosted meeting led by the administration’s crypto council, banking groups circulated a proposal calling for an outright ban on paying interest or other incentives to stablecoin holders.

The draft language states: “No person may provide any form of financial or non-financial consideration to a stablecoin holder” in connection with holding or using a payment stablecoin.

Banking groups warned that allowing yield on stablecoins could “drive deposit flight that would undercut Main Street lending,” while crypto advocates argued innovation should not be stifled. The dispute centers on whether stablecoin rewards resemble bank deposits, potentially siphoning funds from traditional lenders.

‘As we noted during the meeting, that framework can and must embrace financial innovation without undermining safety and soundness, and without putting the bank deposits that fuel local lending and drive economic activity at risk. We look forward to ongoing discussions to move market structure legislation forward,’ the American Bankers Association said in a statement following the meeting.

The standoff has become the main obstacle preventing the CLARITY Act from advancing, despite earlier passage of the GENIUS Act, which created a federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins.

Goldman Sachs maintains US$1 billion Bitcoin ETF exposure

Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) disclosed in its latest US Securities and Exchange Commission filing that it holds just over US$1 billion in exposure to Bitcoin through exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

The exposure is split across products, including BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:IBIT) and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin ETF (NEO:FBTC). Bitcoin has dropped roughly 47 percent from its high and is trading near US$67,000, part of a broader US$2 trillion drawdown across the crypto market. ETF flows have been volatile, with more than US$6 billion exiting spot Bitcoin funds since November, according to industry data.

Despite the slump, Goldman has also expanded into Ether, XRP and Solana ETFs.

Monad launches Nitro accelerator

Blockchain company Monad announced Tuesday (February 10) launch of a new three month accelerator program, Nitro, supported by notable firms including Paradigm, Electric Capital, Dragonfly and Castle Island Ventures.

According to commentary provided in a media briefing accompanying the announcement, “The program is designed to address a common issue in crypto venture funding: teams often raise capital quickly but struggle to ship production-ready products or reach product-market fit. Nitro is structured around execution, shipping cadence, and validation, rather than short-term growth metrics or token-driven incentives.”

The press release notes that the Monad ecosystem has already seen US$108 million raised by projects.

The three month program includes an in-person first month in New York City, and will be followed by two months of focused execution, concluding with a Demo Day for crypto and tech investors.

Interactive Brokers adds Coinbase nano contracts

Interactive Brokers said it is adding “nano contracts’ from Coinbase Global’s (NASDAQ:COIN) derivatives arm to its trading platform. These contracts control fractions of a Bitcoin or Ether coin and require less upfront investment.

Clients can trade these futures, some with set expiry dates and others that track the current price over time, 24/7 within Interactive Brokers’ standard brokerage environment, alongside stocks and options.

The move is meant to make it easier and cheaper for people to get exposure to crypto prices and manage risk, while still using a regulated broker and exchange.

Retail operator of outdoor sportswear pioneer Eddie Bauer files for bankruptcy

The operator of roughly 180 Eddie Bauer stores across the U.S. and Canada has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, blaming declining sales and a litany of other industry headwinds.

The bankruptcy filing marks the third time in a little over two decades for the storied-but-now-tired brand that began as a Seattle fishing shop, later outfitted the first American to climb Mount Everest and made thousands of newfangled down jackets and sleeping bags for the military during World War II.

Eddie Bauer LLC said Monday it had entered into a restructuring pact with its secured lenders as it made the filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey.

Most Eddie Bauer retail and outlet stores in the U.S. and Canada will remain open as the company winds down certain locations. It noted that it will conduct a court-supervised sales process, and if a sale can’t be executed, it will begin a wind-down of its U.S. and Canadian operations.

“This is not an easy decision,” said Marc Rosen, CEO of Catalyst Brands, which maintains the license to operate Eddie Bauer stores in the U.S. and Canada. “However, this restructuring is the best way to optimize value for the retail company’s stakeholders and also ensure Catalyst Brands remains profitable and with strong liquidity and cash flow.”

Eddie Bauer’s stores outside of the U.S. and Canada are operated by other licensees, are not included in the Chapter 11 filings, and will stay open, according to the release.

Authentic Brands Group continues to own the intellectual property associated with the Eddie Bauer brand and may license the brand to other operators, the company said. The operations of other brands in the Catalyst Brands portfolio are not affected by this filing and will continue in the normal course, according to the company.

Eddie Bauer’s e-commerce and wholesale operations will also not be impacted by the wind down, as they are operated by a company called Outdoor 5, LLC. That was a transition it made in January and became effective Feb. 2.

Eddie Bauer joins a growing list of U.S. retailers this year that are closing stores, as companies reorganize under bankruptcy protection or pare down their operations to focus on the most profitable businesses.

The parent company of Saks Fifth Avenue said last month that it was seeking bankruptcy protection, buffeted by rising competition and the massive debt it took on to buy its rival in the luxury sector, Neiman Marcus, just over a year ago. A few days later, the parent company said it was closing most of its Saks Off 5th stores.

Amazon said earlier this month that it was closing almost all of its Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh locations within days as it narrows its focus on food delivery and its grocery chain, Whole Foods Market.

Eddie Bauer’s namesake founder — an avid outdoorsman — started the company in Seattle in 1920 as Bauer’s Sports Shop, according to the brand’s website. In 1945, after making more than 50,000 jackets for the military, it launched a mail-order catalog.

“Bauer’s Sports Shop was not just a place where people purchased clothing and gear, it was a community hub where folks gathered to share their wisdom, learn, and talk about their experiences in the outdoors,” the website says.

The company created an American goose-down insulated jacket, known as the “Skyliner,” in 1936, and it became the company’s first patented jacket. It also outfitted the first American to climb Mount Everest — James W. Whittaker — with an Eddie Bauer parka in 1963.

After Bauer retired in 1968 and sold the business to his partner, the outdoor brand shifted more toward casual apparel and was bought by General Mills Inc. in 1971 and then by Spiegel Inc. in 1988. After Spiegel filed for bankruptcy in 2003 and most of its assets were sold, the remainder of the company was reorganized in 2005 as Eddie Bauer Holdings Inc.

In June 2009, Eddie Bauer filed bankruptcy and was acquired by Golden State Capital, the following month. In 2021, it was acquired by Authentic Brands and SPARC Group LLC.

A year ago, Catalyst was formed by the merger of SPARC and JCPenney, which Simon Property Group and fellow mall landlord Brookfield bought out of bankruptcy.

Rosen noted that even prior to the inception of Catalyst Brands last year, Eddie Bauer was in a “challenged situation.”

“Over the past year, these challenges have been exacerbated by various headwinds, including increased costs of doing business due to inflation, ongoing tariff uncertainty, and other factors,” he said.

He noted that while Catalyst’s leadership was able to make improvements in product development and marketing, those changes could not be implemented fast enough to fully address the problems created over several years.

Eddie Bauer had nearly 600 stores at its peak in 2001, according to CoStar Group Inc., a commercial real estate data firm.

In a note published earlier this month, Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail, wrote that while the Eddie Bauer name is “well known,” the brand hasn’t kept pace with rivals like Swedish outdoor brand Fjallraven and Canadian label Arc’teryx. He also cited issues with quality deteriorating, which, for an outdoor brand measured by the performance of its products, is very problematic.

“And for many younger shoppers, the brand is seen as somewhat old-fashioned and a bit irrelevant,” he said.

Tartisan Nickel Corp. Acquires Additional Nickel-Copper Claims at Turtle Pond, Northwestern Ontario

Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN,OTC:TTSRF) (OTCQB: TTSRF) (FSE: 8TA) (‘Tartisan’, or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired eleven additional claims in the Turtle Pond Area, approximately 40 kms south of Dryden, Ontario and approximately 70 kms east of the Company’s flagship Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project.

The total property package now consists of 161 claims covering 3,375 ha. The claims are owned 100% by Tartisan Nickel Corps. wholly owned subsidiary Canadian Arrow Mines Limited. The property is situated in an area with excellent infrastructure.

Previous exploration efforts identified nickel-copper sulphide mineralization in twelve trenches along a 700-metre trend at the Glatz nickel copper showing. The zone, discovered in 1965 by local prospector A. Glatz, is up to 40 metres wide and is open along strike and at depth. Historical grab samples were reported to contain up to 1.95% Ni. In 2007, Canadian Arrow Mines Limited conducted a surface grab sampling program which produced the following results: 1.28% Ni, 0.26% Cu re Glatz Trench 3; 0.99% Ni, 0.18% Cu re Glatz Trench 3; 0.39% Ni, 4.06% Cu re Trench 4. The mineralization varies from disseminated sulphides to narrow semi-massive sulphide bands. Six short drill holes were completed at that time with hole GZ-09- 02 encountering 0.34% Ni, 0.16% Cu and 0.02% Co over 5.9 m from 45.0-50.9 m.

A nickel-copper-PGE discovery on the Double E airborne VTEM anomaly was identified in 2008. The drilling intersected two separate upper and lower mineralized zones in 2 drill holes. Hole EE-09-02 intersected 4.2 metres of 0.81% Ni, 0.52% Cu, 0.20gpt Pt, 0.16gpt P and 0.20gpt Au at a depth of 25.5 metres. This included 2 metres of 1.35% Ni, 0.81% Cu, 0.36gpt Pt, 0.27gpt Pd and 0.31gpt Au. A second zone was intersected at a depth of 135.1 metres containing 8.2m of 0.55% Ni and 0.38% Cu. Hole EE-l0-04 intersected 1.9 metres of 0.51% Ni, 0.24% Cu at a depth of 21.4 metres and a second narrow intersection of 1.9 metres of 0.52% Ni, 0.28% Cu at a depth of 28 metres.

Exploration diamond drilling work completed in 2009 and 2010 on the Night Danger nickel-copper reported a nine-metre-wide section of stringers and blebs of sulphide which assayed 0.57% Ni and 0.45% Cu at a drill depth of 79m in hole ND-09-1. Two sections within this interval assayed greater than 1% nickel. Drill hole ND-10-1 intersected 4.53% Ni over 0.7m at a drill depth of 57.5m (Source; MNDM assessment files and Canadian Arrow Mines Limited news release dated June 1, 2010, SEDAR).

From November 28th to December 21st, 2024, a TDEM Geophysical survey was performed on the Turtle Pond Property undertaken by Expert Geophysics Limited (SEDAR+ February 27, 2025). Tartisan Nickel Corp. conducted this survey for the purpose of determining drill targets and potential future exploration work on the Turtle Pond Project.

Mark Appleby, President and CEO of Tartisan stated ‘The Glatz, Double E and Night Danger nickel-copper showings display similar nickel and copper tenors as what we find near surface at our Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project. Acquisition of these claims complement the company’s larger objective of developing the Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project into an operating mine with a central milling facility. The Company will be formulating an exploration program consisting of surface sampling and potentially diamond drilling for 2026-27.

Nine Mile Metals Intersects 44 Meters of Copper Mineralization and Provides Drill Program Update

Nine Mile Metals LTD. (CSE: NINE,OTC:VMSXF) (OTC Pink: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Nine Mile’) is pleased to provide the details of drill hole WD-25-05 in addition to a summary of the 2025 drill program completed in December at the Wedge Project.

Drillhole WD-25-05:

DDH WD-25-05 collared on the same drill pad as WD-25-01 and drilled at an azimuth of 310 degrees and a dip of -60 to a final depth of 275 meters.

  • DDH-WD-25-05 was successful, intersecting massive VMS (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Au) mineralization between 155.52 – 157.80 meters (Figure 1) followed by 40 meters of mineralized felsic volcanics (rhyolite) as seen in Figure 2 between 157.80 and 197.80 meters before terminating in sediments.
  • Mineralization consisted of both pyrite and chalcopyrite as disseminations, masses, and associated with quartz bands parallel to bedding.
  • All drill core has been measured, logged, photographed, marked, and cut for sampling at the company’s warehouse in Bathurst, New Brunswick. A quick XRF analysis was also completed for sulphide confirmation – filtering and width identification in definition for sampling core for Actlabs Analysis. A total of 55 sections were delivered to ALS Global in Moncton, New Brunswick for Base and Precious Metals analysis, including Antimony.

Drill Holes BHEM -01 and BHEM-02:

Both drill holes were collared on permitted drill pads in the northwest along the western extension (Figure 4). The drill core for both BHEM-01 and BHEM-02 were solid with minimal faulting / fracturing in the host sediments providing ideal drill holes for surveying and subsequent follow up. Collared outside of known mineralization, the holes are well positioned to locate and model adjacent mineralization with no interference from a conductive source within the drill hole. Both holes are capped and easily accessible, the drill pads available for extending drilling further west and if required, additional depth.

Gary Lohman, VP Exploration, Director stated, ‘Our Wedge Drill Program has been very successful, intersecting Massive Cu bearing VMS where targeted in the western extension of the Wedge Deposit, as designed. Two holes were also drilled in the Northwest area to facilitate an upcoming BHEM survey, their locations in solid rock on the flanks of previous underground workings. In addition to identifying additional mineralization, the size and scale of the individual geological units and results from the upcoming BHEM program will assist in modeling the deposit and targeting additional drilling along the western extension. After our successful drilling in the southern lower extension of the deposit, our knowledge of the deposit and mineralization has increased and identified new areas of priority that were not permitted for this past drill program. We have identified new drill collar locations to continue to test the Copper Zone on the western extension in addition to potential locations that avoid the shear zone in the south. New permitting is underway in preparation of an exciting 2026 campaign at the Wedge, including our West Wedge and Tribag Target Trend drill programs.’

2025 Drill Program Overview:

The program consisted of 7 drill holes totaling 1,654 meters with 5 holes targeting copper mineralization in the western extension of the Wedge Mine with two additional holes collared in the northwest to facilitate BHEM (Bore Hole Electromagnetic) surveying this spring. The goal is to map the depth of the deposit and define the new copper zone. We should also be able to map the western parameters of the deposit, heading west towards the Tribag and West Wedge along trend.

The 2025 drill program was highly successful, with all five drill holes targeting copper mineralization intersecting both massive VMS (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Au) and banded copper sulphide mineralization. The two holes collared to facilitate BHEM geophysical surveying were also successful, collared in the northwest portion of the western extension, away from the large, graphitic shear zone that bounds the deposit in the south and west of the interpreted extent of previous, underground workings. BHEM surveying has its best results when drilled away from the mineralization and the magnetic interference.

The five drill holes targeting mineralization were all collared in the southwest, crossing through a brecciated, graphitic shear zone (tectonic melange) before intersecting a well-defined massive VMS (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Au) horizon. This is characteristic of the mineralized contact after which a sequence of intercalated sediments and volcanics are cut prior to the holes intersecting the main zone of VMS mineralization with mineralized widths between 13 and 48 meters.

The VMS mineralization consisted of abundant pyrite and lesser chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and galena. Local, secondary copper, covellite (CuS) and bornite (Cu5FeS4), was also identified in drill holes WD-25-02 and WD-25-04.

In the west, the metal zonation appears different than the drill holes completed in the east with the prevalence of a greater concentration of chalcopyrite and pyrite with lesser galena (Pb) and sphalerite (Zn). Although it is early in the process, we have confirmed the presence abundant chalcopyrite and coarser grained pyrite in the western extension.

The key observations in this program include:

  • Graphitic Shear Zone in contact with VMS confirmed as a diagnostic marker horizon in the southwest.
  • Mineralized siliceous volcanics were intersected in numerous drill holes, defining an additional, mineralized sequence.
  • VMS mineralization occurs in multiple horizons as seen in holes WD-25-01 and WD-25-02.
  • The intersected units (Argillite, VMS and Felsic Volcanics) are of substantial width and extent which will assist in the 3D modeling of the deposit and subsequent drill hole targeting.

Patrick J Cruickshank, MBA, CEO & Director, stated, ‘We are thrilled with the success of our Wedge Phase 2 Drill Program. To have all 5 holes strike mineralization was more than we expected. It is a testament to our Technical Team and specifically, Mike Dufresne and Gary Lohman. We already have identified Phase 3 Drill holes and are determined more than ever to expand this deposit’s footprint and expose this entire new 3rd High Grade Copper Lens. In addition, the BHEM surveys, the Phase 3 Wedge Drilling, the TriBag & West Wedge drilling to test this VMS Cluster Trend, 2026 will be filled with Wedge Project activity. We expect our first Assays to arrive this week from ALS Global and look forward to sharing the results.’

Locksley Resources’ Underground Mapping Reveals Major New Target Boosting High-Grade Antimony Potential at its Mojave Project Desert Antimony Mine

Locksley Resources Limited (ASX: LKY; OTCQX: LKYRFADR: LKYLY) announced a major new target zone revealed by underground mapping at its Desert Antimony Mine (DAM), part of the company’s Mojave Project.

This notable finding, the Beefeater Shear, is a shear zone corridor mapped at widths of up to 10-15 meters and a result of a comprehensive Stage III technical review focusing on the Northern Block. This included high-resolution underground mapping at the DAM and regional structural analysis. More information can be found here: https://cdn-api.markitdigital.com/apiman-gateway/ASX/asx-research/1.0/file/2924-03054294-6A1311088&v=undefined.

‘Locksley’s geology team considers Beefeater to share the same structural timing and kinematic history as the DAM mineralized vein system to the West,’ said Kerrie Matthews, Managing Director and CEO of Locksley. She added that these insights along with the validation of project-wide radiometric targets, pave the way for targeted sampling and drilling to confirm mineralization and economic potential. ‘This allows us to focus on extensions with greater certainty,’ she said, noting that by mapping the underground workings at DAM the company has essentially ‘unlocked’ the geometry of the system.

‘We now see exactly how high-grade, mineralized blocks have been created by later structural events,’ she affirmed adding the identification of the 10-15 meter Beefeater Shear provides Locksley with a new exploration target that can increase the exploration pipeline of critical mineral projects on the Mojave claims. ‘We look forward to receiving assays from the various surface and underground sampling,’ she said.

Locksley Resources (https://www.locksleyresourcescom.au) is focused on critical minerals in the U.S. The company is actively advancing the Mojave Project in California, targeting rare earth elements (REEs) and antimony. Locksley is executing a mine-to-market strategy for antimony, aimed at reestablishing domestic supply chains for critical materials, underpinned by strategic downstream technology partnerships with leading U.S. research institutions and industry partners. This targeted approach, combined with resource development with innovative processing and separation technologies, positions Locksley to play a role in advancing U.S. critical materials independence.

Flow Metals to Acquire the Monster IOCG Project in Yukon

Flow Metals Corp. (CSE: FWM) (‘Flow Metals’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to report that it has entered into an option agreement dated February 9, 2026 (the ‘Option Agreement’) with Go Metals Corp. (‘Go Metals’) to acquire the Monster IOCG project (the ‘Monster Project’), located approximately 90 kilometres north of Dawson City in the traditional territory of the Tr’ondek Hwech’in First Nation.

‘The acquisition of the Monster Project represents a Tier 1-scale opportunity and positions Flow Metals with meaningful exposure to both gold and copper. Our team has long believed in the Yukon’s exceptional mineral potential since we began working in the region in 2010, and the Monster Project marks a pivotal step in building a premier exploration portfolio,’ said Scott Sheldon, CEO of Flow Metals.

Monster Property, Yukon – IOCG Exploration Target

The Monster Property is a discovery-stage copper exploration project in Yukon, with percent-level copper and cobalt mineralization identified in surface showings. Exploration has identified geological features and metal associations consistent with iron oxide copper-gold (‘IOCG’) style systems.

Copper-cobalt showings have been identified over approximately 14 km of strike, defining a mineralized corridor. Grab samples have returned percent-level copper values, including results up to 22.3% Cu and 9.6% Co. To date, 45 grab samples across the project met the strongly mineralized threshold. These occurrences are spatially associated with both magnetic and gravity anomalies. Three main targets have been identified: Bloom, Arena, and Beast, ranging between 1,300 and 3,500 metres in width. Selected samples from these targets are summarized in the tables below. Grab samples are selective by nature and may not represent average grades of mineralized zones.

Parts of the property are underlain by rocks of the Wernecke Breccia, a regionally extensive Paleoproterozoic (~1.8 Ga) iron oxide-rich breccia system. The rocks are characterized by extensive fracturing, brecciation, and iron oxide alteration developed over kilometre-scale zones and are interpreted to record repeated fluid movement through the crust. The resulting fracture networks provide permeable pathways capable of focusing metal-bearing fluids.

A 2021 percussion drilling program was limited by a drill booster failure but intersected 0.72% Cu over 5.0 feet within hematite-chlorite altered breccia interpreted as IOCG-style mineralization. These results confirmed subsurface mineralization, even though the drill hole ended short of the inverted gravity anomaly. True widths and continuity are unknown, and further drilling is required to test the three main gravity anomalies.

Bloom Target (1.9 km²) selected grab sample highlights:

Sample ID Cu (%) Co (%) Au (g/t) Ag (g/t)
J20-22 3.19 0.39 0.11 11.31
J23-32 0.46 9.61 1.17 1.47
H10 1.21 2.41 0.57 4.29
19MOH-052 1.88 0.01 0.01 21.08
19MOH-022 1.70 0.20 0.14 2.80

 

 A total of 28 samples at Bloom met the Company’s strongly mineralized threshold.

Arena Target (5.1 km²) selected grab sample highlights:

Sample ID Cu (%) Co (%) Au (g/t) Ag (g/t)
19MOJA-09 7.31 0.01 0.03 8.54
19MO-047 6.10 0.56 0.52 15.20
J48 3.81 0.01 0.02 53.52
J35 0.19 2.96 0.49 0.29
19MO-063 0.22 1.11 0.30 0.29

 

A total of 21 samples at Arena met the Company’s strongly mineralized threshold.

Beast Target (2.4 km²) selected grab sample highlights:

Sample ID Cu (%) Co (%) Au (g/t) Ag (g/t)
19MO-015 2.72 0.00 0.16 2.31
19MOH-015 22.33 0.00 0.01 0.28
M18-38 0.80 0.00 0.00 0.07
M18-39 0.82 0.00 0.00 0.08

 

A total of 4 samples at Beast met the Company’s strongly mineralized threshold.

Option Agreement – Monster Project

Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Flow Metals may acquire a 100% interest in the Monster Project by completing the following payments and share issuances (collectively, the ‘Option Consideration’):

  • 3,000,000 common shares of Flow Metals, payable within 10 business days of receipt of all required approvals and CSE acceptance;

  • 3,000,000 common shares of Flow Metals on the one year anniversary of the execution date;

  • $2,000,000, payable on the 120th day of commercial production; and

  • Go Metals will retain a 2% net smelter return royalty (‘NSR’) on the Monster Project.

The transaction constitutes a ‘related party transaction’ for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘MI 61-101’), as certain directors and/or officers of the Company are also directors and/or officers of Go Metals. The Company will comply with applicable requirements of MI 61-101 in connection with the transaction.

The transaction is exempt from the valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), as the fair market value of the transaction is not more than 25% of Flow Metals’ market capitalization. Further, Evans & Evans has been retained to provide a fairness opinion to the board of directors of Go Metals in connection with the transaction. The fairness opinion is expected to address the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the transaction to Go Metals and is not a formal valuation.

Sixtymile Project

The Sixtymile district is a historic placer gold camp that has produced gold since the 1890s and remains active today. Ongoing placer operations continue to recover angular and crystalline gold, which is interpreted to indicate a nearby bedrock source. Flow Metals’ mineral claims cover key placer-producing drainages, including Bedrock, Miller, Glacier, and Little Gold creeks. The claims lie within a thrust-related deformation corridor extending at least nine kilometres across the property, which is interpreted to have acted as a major structural conduit for mineralizing fluids.

Recent geological reinterpretation, based on detailed re-logging of historic drill hole DDH-11-18, has identified a folded metasedimentary (turbidite) sequence within the host schist. Gold-bearing quartz veins are interpreted to occur preferentially within competent, quartz-rich layers that have been folded into antiformal geometries within the structural corridor. Historical drilling intersected 105.30 m at 0.51 g/t Au from 88.0 m, including 24.07 m at 1.57 g/t Au in DDH-11-18*. This refined, fold-controlled model provides a focused framework for targeting higher-grade shoots within deformed, quartz-rich horizons.

*These results are historical in nature, have not been independently verified by the Company, and should not be relied upon as a current estimate of mineralization.

About Flow Metals

Flow Metals group has maintained an active presence in the Yukon since 2018, building deep technical expertise and local relationships across the territory. Flow Metals has established a trusted network of experienced contractors and strong working relationships with both territorial and First Nation governments, providing the Company with a solid foundation to efficiently advance exploration projects in the North.

Why Rare Earth Processing Remains China’s Strongest Leverage Point

As governments scramble to secure supplies of rare earth elements, a new engineering study from Malaysia has cast fresh light on why China continues to dominate one of the most critical parts of the supply chain—processing.

The research zeroes in on what many industry insiders already regard as the hardest step in rare earth production: separating neodymium and praseodymium to the ultra-high purity levels required for permanent magnets.

Rare earth elements tend to occur in clusters and behave almost identically at the chemical level. Neodymium and praseodymium, two of the most important inputs for high-performance magnets, sit next to each other on the periodic table.

This proximity makes them extremely difficult to separate cleanly. Even with viable ore, the separation step is so complex and capital-intensive that it continues to favor countries like China that already operate such systems at scale.

What makes this phase more complex, according to the research, is that separating neodymium from praseodymium to magnet-grade purity requires an extraordinary number of repetitions.

Their modeled plant design calls for roughly 62 equilibrium stages, compared with as few as 16 stages for earlier, bulk separations. In practical terms, this means that a facility capable of producing magnet-grade material must be vast, expensive, and technically sophisticated.

Loosening the grip

China’s dominance stems largely from its ability to meet this requirement at industrial scale. While the country accounts for about 60 percent of global rare earth mining, it processes close to 90 percent of the world’s supply.

That dominance did not happen by accident. After acquiring early separation know-how from France in the 1980s, China spent decades refining solvent extraction techniques, training engineers, and scaling plants far beyond what most countries were willing or permitted to build.

Today, China produces roughly 70,000 metric tons of refined rare earths per year. It also controls nearly all processing of heavy rare earth elements, which are even more difficult to separate and are critical for high-temperature and defense applications.

Thus, the Malaysian study reinforces why that advantage persists. It shows that even when geology is favorable, processing remains the true barrier to entry.

This reality has sharpened concerns in the US and its allies, especially as China has shown a willingness to use rare earths as a geopolitical tool.

In 2010, Beijing restricted exports to Japan during a diplomatic dispute. In 2023, it imposed global restrictions on the export of rare earth processing and separation technologies, making it harder for competitors to build midstream capacity.

Those moves have heightened urgency in Washington. Rare earths are essential to modern defense systems, from fighter jets and submarines to precision-guided munitions, as well as to electric vehicles and consumer electronics.

Despite being the world’s second-largest rare earth producer, most material mined domestically has historically been sent to China for separation. Until recently, the country lacked commercial-scale facilities capable of turning ore into finished magnet materials.

This is the reality that the rest of the world is trying to slowly change. Since 2020, the US Department of Defense has committed hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuilding a “mine-to-magnet” supply chain, with projects concentrated largely in Texas.

These include light and heavy rare earth separation plants, metal and alloy production, and permanent magnet manufacturing.

Even so, near-term capacity remains small relative to China’s. New facilities will take years to ramp up, and most focus initially on light rare earths rather than the heavier elements where China’s dominance is nearly absolute.

From Project Vault to Africa: US accelerates rare earth supply chain strategy

The United States is stepping up efforts to diversify rare earth supply beyond China, backing early-stage projects aimed at strengthening non-Chinese production and processing capacity.

One such move came in February, when the US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) confirmed its intention to support Altona Rare Earths’ (LSE:REE) Monte Muambe rare earths project in Mozambique.

The announcement was made by USTDA Deputy Director and Chief Operating Officer Thomas Hardy during a high-level forum on US support for critical mining projects in sub-Saharan Africa, attended by Altona executives.

USTDA’s support is expected to help define the technical and financial development pathway for Monte Muambe, which hosts rare earth elements used in permanent magnets, defence systems and energy transition technologies. The backing remains subject to the execution of a formal grant agreement.

The commitment aligns with broader US initiatives aimed at reshaping critical mineral supply chains, including recent announcements tied to Project Vault — Washington’s effort to secure strategic reserves and reduce reliance on Chinese-dominated processing and refining. It also coincides with the launch of the Forum on Resource Geostrategic Engagement (FORGE), unveiled at the 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial as a platform to mobilise capital and diplomatic support for resilient mineral supply networks.

While Monte Muambe remains at an early stage, Altona is also awaiting assay results from recent fluorspar and gallium drilling, which the company believes could further enhance the project’s strategic appeal. Fluorspar is a key industrial mineral used in steelmaking, chemicals and battery supply chains, areas where China also holds significant market share.

Taken together, the US backing of Monte Muambe underscores how governments are increasingly using policy tools, financing support and strategic partnerships to counterbalance China’s continued dominance in rare earth processing, a reality highlighted in the recent Malaysian report.
