The Senate is rumbling toward a likely successful vote on a package of three funding bills, but it’s what comes next that some lawmakers are worried about.

The upper chamber is expected to pass a three-bill funding package, known as a minibus, later this week. That would bring the total number of funding bills passed by Congress to six.

But it’s halfway to the magic dozen that are needed to fund the government, and one bill in particular is giving lawmakers heartburn on their quest to avoid another government shutdown.

Among the annual spending bills is the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations bill, which has become a political lightning rod in the wake of Renee Nicole Good’s death in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)-related shooting.

Some Senate Democrats want to use it to leverage more oversight at DHS, specifically for ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

That sticky wicket could cause the bill to never actually come to the floor — it was nixed from a recently released spending package from the House earlier this week. That means it could land in a short-term funding extension, known as a continuing resolution (CR).

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., acknowledged just how difficult that bill was to advance, even under more typical circumstances, and predicted that it could lead to a CR to keep the government open.

‘Homeland is obviously the hardest one, and it’s possible that, if we can’t get agreement, that there could be some sort of a CR that funds some of these bills into next year,’ Thune said.

While Thune remained hopeful that, over the next three weeks, Congress could pass the remaining spending bills, the reality of the discourse regarding the DHS bill is now front and center in the simmering spending fight.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has made clear that neither he nor Senate Democrats want to usher in another government shutdown. But when asked if there would be restrictions to DHS and ICE agents baked into the DHS funding bill, Schumer said, ‘The appropriators are working on that right now. The four corners are trying to come up with an agreement.’

‘As I said, that’s one of the major issues that the appropriators are confronting right now before the bill comes up,’ Schumer said.

There is also resistance to a CR among some Democrats, who argue that an extension would only benefit President Donald Trump, given that it would keep funding levels and priorities the same from the previous fiscal year without their thumbprints on updated appropriations.

Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said on the Senate floor that a short-term funding extension was effectively a ‘slush fund’ for Trump and Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought to use and abuse, but lauded the efforts from both sides of the aisle to push forward with funding bills.

That’s because the bipartisan legislation in the upper chamber includes Democratic funding priorities, a key negotiating point after the administration slashed congressionally approved funding last year.

‘That is why, right now, it is so important that we end that slush fund authority and reassert our power as lawmakers by passing these full-year spending bills that specify exactly how funds are to be spent just as we had always done until last year,’ Murray said.

But, unlike in September, it appears that neither side is ready to careen the government into a shutdown once more.

Still, time is running out, and the Senate is set to leave Washington, D.C., for a weeklong recess by the end of this week while the House processes another smaller funding package. That two-bill effort still won’t be enough to keep the lights on, however.

‘I don’t think there’s going to be [a shutdown],’ Thune said, ‘And I say this because I think on both sides, I’ve said this before, not new information. I think government shutdowns are stupid. I don’t think anybody wins. And, I hope the Democrats share that view. And if they do, right now, at least the appropriations process is moving forward.’

Hillary and Bill Clinton are both now risking possible criminal charges after defying subpoenas to appear before the House Oversight Committee.

Hillary Clinton was compelled to sit for a sworn deposition behind closed doors on Wednesday morning as part of the House’s bipartisan probe into Jeffrey Epstein.

However, the former secretary of state refused to appear, and the House Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings, a source familiar told Fox News Digital.

She was expected to skip the meeting after her and former President Bill Clinton’s attorneys wrote to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., arguing the subpoenas were not legally enforceable.

A committee aide said earlier that the committee would initiate contempt of Congress proceedings ‘in the coming days’ if she did not appear. Comer is already moving forward with contempt proceedings against Bill Clinton.

The lawyers’ letter argued Comer’s subpoenas were ‘invalid and legally unenforceable, untethered to a valid legislative purpose, unwarranted because they do not seek pertinent information, and an unprecedented infringement on the separation of powers.’

It also compared Comer’s leadership of the probe to Joseph McCarthy’s 1950s-era abuse of congressional power, while pointing out that President Donald Trump has publicly called for the federal government to look into Bill Clinton’s Epstein ties.

‘Mindful of these defects, we trust you will engage in good faith to de-escalate this dispute,’ the letter said.

Comer told reporters Tuesday that he read the letter but suggested his probe would be undeterred.

The former president similarly skipped his own scheduled deposition on Tuesday, prompting Comer to say his panel would move ahead with advancing a contempt of Congress resolution against him next week.

Such resolutions need to advance through the relevant committees before being considered in a House-wide vote.

It’s then up to the Department of Justice (DOJ) on whether to pursue the resulting criminal referral if a majority of House lawmakers vote to make it.

Contempt of Congress charges are a misdemeanor that carry up to a year in jail and a maximum fine of $100,000.

Former Trump advisors Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro were notably charged and convicted of contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas by the now-defunct select committee on the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

The former first couple were two of 10 people subpoenaed by Comer as part of the panel’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The subpoenas were issued following a bipartisan vote by an Oversight subcommittee panel during an unrelated hearing on illegal immigration.

The House Judiciary Committee has opened an investigation into whether a climate law group is improperly influencing federal judges on environment-related cases.

Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the panel’s subcommittee on Courts, sent four letters to varying judicial groups and lawyers asking for more information on communications with the Environmental Law Institute.

‘The Committee on the Judiciary is investigating allegations of improper attempts by the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) and its Climate Judiciary Project (CJP) to influence federal judges. Public reports have documented concerns around apparent efforts by ELI and CJP to influence judges who potentially may be presiding over lawsuits related to alleged climate change claims,’ the letter to the Judicial Conference of the United States (JCUS) read.

‘These efforts appear to have the underlying goal of predisposing federal judges in favor of plaintiffs alleging injuries from the manufacturing, marketing, use, or sale of fossil-fuel products.’

Jordan and Issa argued that existing JCUS policy acknowledged risks of allowing privately funded education programs to distribute material to courts, but that its policy was also ‘leaving the door open for groups like ELI and CJP to exert influence through program content and contact between judges and those who litigate before them.’

A separate letter to David Bookbinder, director of law and policy at the Environmental Integrity Project, alleged that ‘evidence has emerged that raises questions about whether ELI, CJP, or one or more of its ‘experts’ coordinated with you on judicial training materials while you simultaneously litigated climate-related cases pending before federal courts.’

Jordan and Issa charged that Bookbinder had ‘pre-publication access and provided peer review’ for documents prepared for ELI while he was representing the Boulder County, Colo., Board of County Commissioners in a climate change-related lawsuit. They noted that he’s no longer the board’s lawyer, however.

‘In other words, this document seems to suggest that at the same time you were representing a private party in climate-related litigation, you were also helping to develop climate-related training materials for federal (and state) judges,’ the letter said.

A third letter to the Federal Judicial Center noted that while both climate groups say they provide impartial information for judges, Republicans believe those materials ‘appear to be designed to bias judges in climate-related cases.’

‘The materials that ELI and CJP used at judicial seminars are generally not made public, which itself is a cause for concern,’ the third letter said. ‘The limited portions of CJP’s ‘Climate Science and Law for Judges Curriculum’ that are publicly available seem designed to improperly influence judges in favor of plaintiffs.’

ELI is a nonprofit promoting climate science-based policy across academic, public, and legal spheres.

CJP is a project within ELI specifically aimed at creating curricula for ‘judicial education,’ according to its website.

Fox News Digital reached out to ELI and the four letter recipients for comment.

Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SYH) (OTCQX: SYHBF) (Frankfurt: SC1P) (‘Skyharbour’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce results from its 2025 drilling campaign at its 100% owned 35,705 hectare Moore Uranium Project, located approximately 15 kilometres east of Denison Mines’ Wheeler River project in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. A total of twenty-one drill holes were completed totaling 7,884 metres in the latter part of last year. The drilling notably intersected high-grade uranium mineralization at the Main Maverick Zone with hole ML25-15, returning 4.84% U3O8 over 4.4 metres, including 11.77% U3O8 over 1.6 metres. Furthermore, Skyharbour successfully identified a new regional target area called the Nomad Zone approximately 1.7 kilometres to the southwest of the Main Maverick Zone. The exploratory drilling at this new target intersected extensive sandstone and basement faulting accompanied by intense hydrothermal alteration, collectively underscoring a fertile environment with strong potential for additional uranium discoveries.

https://skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SkyHarbour_Moore.jpg?v1

Skyharbour is preparing for a winter drill program at Moore to commence next month following up on the results from 2025. The Company is planning to drill a total of 8,000 to 10,000 metres in 15 to 25 drill holes with further details forthcoming.

Jordan Trimble, President and CEO of Skyharbour Resources, stated: ‘We are very pleased with these drill results from Moore which include additional high-grade mineralization at Maverick as well as a new regional target called Nomad that warrants follow-up drilling. As we enter 2026, we will commence drilling at Moore shortly and have plans to carry out multi-phased drill programs throughout the year providing steady news flow in the near term. The upcoming year will be pivotal for Skyharbour as we are poised to unlock substantial value at various projects in our portfolio. In addition to the drilling we have planned at Moore, the recently closed major transaction with Denison Mines at the Russell Lake project will facilitate aggressive exploration plans across the project area this year. We will also have plenty of catalysts from our prospect generator business consisting of partner companies advancing several of our other uranium properties throughout the Athabasca Basin.’

Highlights:

  • Hole ML25-15 (Main Maverick Zone) returned 4.84% U3O8 over 4.4 m starting from 264.4 m downhole depth, including 11.77% U3O8 over 1.6 m, while also achieving a primary objective of collecting key bulk density measurements from high-grade mineralization to support future modelling work.
  • Hole ML25-13 (Nomad Zone, 1.7 km SW of Main Maverick) intersected intense alteration in both sandstone and basement rocks, including bleaching, silicification, clay alteration, hematization, and faulting, defining a previously untested structural corridor with strong fertility indicators.
  • Holes ML25-17 and ML25-18 (Nomad Zone) intersected extensive basement faulting, intense silicification, hematization, chloritization, and calc-silicate development, confirming robust hydrothermal evolution and strengthening the geological model for the Nomad structural corridor.
  • At the new Nomad Zone, alteration styles, structure, and conductors support the presence of a large-scale structural corridor southwest of the high-grade Maverick corridor, with multiple untested targets remaining for future drilling.
  • Skyharbour is planning to carry out multiple drill programs at Moore in 2026 consisting of 8-10,000 metres total in 15-25 holes with the first phase of winter drilling consisting of 5-6,000 metres commencing in February.

Summary of Phase 1 Drilling:

The summer 2025 drilling phase at Moore comprised 15 diamond drill holes totaling 5,433 metres. The primary objectives of the program were to: expand the footprints of the high-grade Maverick zones, particularly along the Maverick East and Main zones; test regional geophysical targets located proximal to anomalous radioactivity and favorable alteration identified in historical drilling along the broader Maverick corridor; and collect density and additional physical data from high-grade mineralization at the Main Maverick zone to better define the current datasets.

Main Maverick Zone:

Hole ML25-15 was drilled at the Main Maverick Zone and intersected high-grade, sandstone-hosted mineralization of 4.84% U3O8 over 4.4 metres beginning at a relatively shallow depth of 264.4 metres just above the unconformity. There is a higher grade zone of 11.77% U3O8 over 1.6 m within the broader zone of mineralization. This hole has also helped Skyharbour obtain more representative density data from the high-grade mineralization. Historically, few density samples were collected from the Maverick zones, and most were derived from low-grade or barren intervals. Dry bulk density measurements were conducted on whole-core samples using the wax-coating method at SRC prior to splitting the core for uranium assays. Density values from this interval ranged from 2.20 to 3.88 g/cc. These results will be incorporated into the ongoing geological modelling work at Maverick with further evaluation continuing into 2026.

Greater Maverick Trend – Nomad Zone:

The newly identified Nomad Zone is located approx. 1.7 kilometres west-southwest of the Main Maverick Zone, in an area where the Maverick corridor appears to converge with a parallel structural corridor to the north-northwest. One exploratory drill hole, ML25-13, tested a stacked geophysical anomaly defined by ground and airborne EM, resistivity, and gravity data within a prominent magnetic low extending southwest from the known Maverick zones to the Moore Lake property boundary. The hole intersected strongly faulted, silicified, and desilicified sandstone down to the unconformity at 338.0 metres. The basement was comprised of intensely faulted, argillic, and silicified garnet-bearing pelitic gneiss, pegmatites, and granitic units, with localized weak graphitic pelitic gneiss containing calc-silicate minerals between 392 and 398 metres, before terminating at 440 metres.

Nomad Zone Drilling with Geophysics:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/news/Moore-2025-Drilling-Nomad.jpg

The intense alteration, faulting, and graphitic zones indicate a fertile structural environment analogous to that hosting mineralization elsewhere along the Maverick corridor. This new target area has become a high-priority regional target at the project.

Maverick West Zone:

Drill hole ML25-03 was completed at the Maverick West Zone to test for potential unconformity-hosted uranium mineralization associated with a coincident resistivity and a gravity anomaly. The hole intersected strongly bleached and silicified Athabasca sandstone down to the unconformity at 287.3 metres, underlain by strongly hematized, moderately chloritized, pyrite-bearing Archean granitic gneiss to the end of hole at 359.0 metres. Additional drilling is warranted at this target.

Maverick East Zone:

A total of four drill holes were completed at Maverick East during the summer/fall phase of drilling. Three of these holes (ML25-01, ML25-02, and ML25-12) were designed to test for extensions of the zone to the northeast. Holes ML25-01 and ML25-12 intersected uranium mineralization an additional 40 metres along strike of the previously reported notable step-out hole ML24-15 which returned a significant intersection of 1.50% U3O8 over 6.4 metres from 275.0–281.4 metres including 4.74% U3O8 over 1.5 metres.

Hole ML25-12 returned 0.07% U3O8 over 1.5 metres and hole ML25-01 intersected 0.02% U3O8 over 2.0 metres at or immediately below the unconformity. Hole ML25-14, drilled to test the potential for mineralization to the northwest, intersected 0.06% U3O8 over 1.0 metre at the unconformity. Another step-out hole ML25-02, collared 45 metres northeast of ML25-01 did not intersect significant mineralization. The mineralization in the Maverick East extension area is interpreted to be structurally controlled by cross-cutting features that cause the zone to pinch and swell. These structures influence both the thickness and continuity of uranium-bearing horizons and additional drilling is planned for this target area.

Greater Maverick Trend – Esker Zone:

As part of the ongoing regional exploration efforts along the broader Maverick corridor, a total of eight drill holes (ML25-04 to ML25-11) totaling 3,138 metres were completed to test various geophysical and geological targets near zones of elevated radioactivity identified in previous drill programs. Seven of these were drilled in the Esker Zone, approximately two kilometres northeast of the known high-grade Maverick zones, targeting previously untested resistivity and EM anomalies. There is limited historical drilling at the target area but a previous drill hole discovered the presence of high-grade mineralization in hole ML-165, which returned 1.21% U3O8 over 0.5 metres at the unconformity in 2011.

Esker Zone Drilling:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/news/Moore-2025-Drilling-Esker.jpg

Uranium mineralization of 0.041% U3O8 over 0.5 metres was intersected immediately below the unconformity in ML25-04, while subsequent holes (ML25-05 to ML25-10) intersected extensive graphitic and structurally complex basement rocks with locally elevated radioactivity. These holes confirmed the presence of thick graphitic conductors, pervasive faulting, and strong clay-hematite alteration, key indicators of a fertile uranium system.

The strike extent of mineralization in historical hole ML-165 remains untested to the northeast as limited follow-up drilling has been completed due to lake cover. Skyharbour plans to follow-up during the upcoming winter 2026 drill program, with several holes designed to test the continuation of this mineralization beneath the lake.

Hole ML25-11 was drilled approximately 900 metres northeast of the Main Maverick Zone and tested for the extension of basement-hosted mineralization intersected in historical holes ML-526, ML-43, and ML-506, which returned grades up to 0.74% U3O8 within a graphitic fault zone. Hole ML25-11 intersected a fault zone characterized by hydrothermal alteration consistent with the targeted structure; no anomalous radioactivity or significant mineralization was observed.

Summary of Phase 2 Drilling:

Phase 2 drilling at Moore later in 2025 totaled 2,451 metres across six holes (ML25-16 to ML25-21) and was designed to follow-up strong alteration and structure identified at the Nomad Zone during Phase 1, as well as to test the nearby Nutana Zone where limited historical work had been completed despite its proximity to Maverick. Holes ML25-16, ML25-17, ML25-18 and ML25-19A focused on the Nomad target area, while ML25-20 and ML25-21 were drilled at the Nutana target.

Nomad Zone:

At the newly discovered Nomad Zone, Phase 2 drilling intersected extensive structural disruption and intense basement alteration consistent with a fertile hydrothermal environment. Hole ML25-17 and ML25-18 intersected strongly faulted sandstone and extensively broken, silicified, hematized and chloritized basement rocks, validating the structural model. Holes ML25-16 and ML25-19A tested conductor targets derived from historical EM datasets and encountered paleoweathered microgranite, locally graphitic or calcareous pelitic units, and fault-controlled clay alteration.

Field crews were unable to test the targets located along strike to the southwest of the recent Nomad drilling due to wet surface conditions late in the season. These gravity-defined structural targets will instead be drilled during the upcoming winter program when frozen ground conditions will allow optimal collar locations and improved targeting.

Nutana Zone:

At the Nutana Zone, holes ML25-20 and ML25-21 were drilled to follow-up on weak mineralization intersected in historical holes within a structural corridor proximal to Maverick but largely underexplored. Both holes intersected graphitic conductors directly beneath the unconformity, accompanied by strong bleaching and localized limonitic alteration in the overlying sandstone. The basement lithologies in both holes consist of structurally broken and silicified pelitic to granodioritic gneisses, with quartz flooding and calc-silicate development along shear zones.

In hole ML25-20, a moderately graphitic interval was intersected just below the unconformity, immediately above strongly sheared and mylonitized basement units. In hole ML25-21, weakly elevated radioactivity was detected below the unconformity, coinciding with faulted and argillic pelitic gneiss in contact with quartz-flooded, calc-silicate–bearing amphibolite and pegmatitic granitic units.

2026 Exploration Plans:

Skyharbour is planning a multi-phased drill campaign at the Moore Project in 2026 totaling approximately 8,000 to 10,000 metres of drilling, with an initial winter phase expected to commence shortly consisting of 5,000 to 6,000 metres. In advance of drilling, additional geophysical surveys and groundwork are currently underway.

The winter program will focus on expansion drilling at the Maverick zones, along with follow-up drilling at the Esker target area to the north and the new Nomad Zone. As part of this work, a ground Stepwise Moving Loop Time Domain Electromagnetic survey (SWML-TDEM) is currently being carried out to extend existing geophysical coverage approximately 2 kilometres to the southwest over a structurally controlled corridor defined by historical ground gravity data and associated with intense alteration intersected at Nomad. Drilling will target gravity anomalies and any newly identified EM conductors along the Nomad structural corridor, as well as the potential northeast strike extension of mineralization intersected in historical drill hole ML-165, which returned 1.21% U3O8 over 0.5 metres at the unconformity at the Esker Zone.

Moore Uranium Project Overview:

In June 2016, Skyharbour secured an option to acquire Denison Mine’s Moore Uranium Project, on the southeastern side of the Athabasca Basin, in northern Saskatchewan and has since fulfilled its earn-in. The project consists of 12 contiguous claims totaling 35,705 hectares located 42 kilometres northeast of the Key Lake mill, approx. 15 kilometres east of Denison’s Wheeler River project, and 39 kilometres south of Cameco’s McArthur River uranium mine. Unconformity-hosted uranium mineralization was discovered on the Moore Project at the Maverick Zone with historical drill highlights consisting of 4.03% eU3O8 over 10 metres, including 20% eU3Oover 1.4 metres, in ML-161. In 2017, Skyharbour announced drill results of 6.0% U3O8 over 5.9 metres, including 20.8% U3O8 over 1.5 metres at a vertical depth of 265 metres, in hole ML-199. In addition to the Main and East Maverick Zones, the project hosts other mineralized targets with strong discovery potential which the Company plans to test with future drill programs. The project is fully accessible via winter and ice roads which simplifies logistics and lowers costs. Large proportions of the property are accessible in the summer as well.

QA/QC, Radiometric Equivalent Grades and Spectrometer Readings:

All drill intervals above are downhole length and sampling procedures and QA/QC protocols for geochemical results as well as a description of downhole gamma probe grade calculations and protocols are below. All drill core samples are shipped to the Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories (SRC) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan under the care of Skyharbour personnel for preparation, processing, and multi-element analysis by ICP-MS and ICP-OES using total (HF:NHO3:HClO4) and partial digestion (HNO3:HCl), boron by fusion, and U3O8 wt% assay by ICP-OES using higher grade standards. Assay samples are chosen based on downhole probing radiometric equivalent uranium grades and scintillometer (Radiation Solutions RS-125) peaks. Assay sample intervals comprise 0.5 metre continuous half-core split samples over the mineralized interval. These samples may also be selected for density determination using Rock Density by Dry Bulk Method (wax-coated displacement method). With all assay samples, one half of the split sample is retained and the other sent to the SRC for analysis. The SRC is an ISO/IEC 17025/2005 and Standards Council of Canada certified analytical laboratory. Blanks, standard reference materials, and repeats are inserted into the sample stream at regular intervals by Skyharbour and the SRC in accordance with Skyharbour’s quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures. Geochemical assay data are subject to verification procedures by qualified persons employed by Skyharbour prior to disclosure.

During active exploration programs, drillholes are radiometrically logged using calibrated downhole Mount Sopris HLP-2375 or 2GHF probes of varying sensitivities, which collect continuous readings along the length of the drillhole. Preliminary radiometric equivalent uranium grades (‘eU3O8‘) are then calculated from the downhole radiometric results. The probe is calibrated using an algorithm calculated from the calibration of the probe at the Saskatchewan Research Council facility in Saskatoon and from the comparison of probe results against geochemical analyses. In the case where core recovery within a mineralized intersection is poor or non-existent, radiometric grades are considered to be more representative of the mineralized intersection and may be reported in the place of assay grades. Radiometric equivalent probe results are subject to verification procedures by qualified persons employed by Skyharbour prior to disclosure.

  • Drilling confirms continued gold mineralisation within established Jagger and Road Cut Zone structures, including at depth with intersections of 8.0 m at 3.02 g/t Au at the Jagger Zone (KDD0129) and along the Contact Zone Fault with 6.0 m at 2.59 g/t Au at the Road Cut Zone (KDD0135)
  • New gold-bearing structures were identified both in the footwall of the main Jagger shear toward the Contact Zone Fault (Structure 7, KDD0134) and along strike at Jagger South (KDD0127), expanding mineralisation beyond previously defined zones
  • Results continue to reinforce the scale of the Kossou’s gold targets as drilling advances toward resource definition while generating additional high-priority targets

Kobo Resources Inc. (‘ Kobo’ or the ‘ Company ‘) ( TSX.V: KRI ) is pleased to report results from 15 diamond drill holes completed as part of its ongoing drill program at the 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project (‘ Kossou ‘) in Côte d’Ivoire. The latest results confirm continued gold mineralisation within known structures at the Jagger and Road Cut Zones while also identifying new gold-bearing structures that expand the mineralised footprint of the project.

Jagger Zone:

  • KDD0129
    • 3.0 metres ( m’) at 3.32 g/t Au from 62 .0 m
    • 5.0 m at 1.34 g/t Au from 275.0 m
    • 8.0 m at 3.02 g/t Au from 285.0 m
    • 5.0 m at 1.10 g/t Au from 364.0m
  • KDD0124
    • 2.0 m at 9.97 g/t Au from 297.0 m
  • KDD0133
    • 2.0 m at 7.79 g/t Au from 314.0 m
  • KDD0126
    • 15.0 m at 0.90 g/t Au from 189.0 m, incl. 10.0 m at 1.16 g/t Au
  • KDD0134
    • 6.0 m at 1.09 g/t Au from 11.0 m, incl. 3.0 m at 1.91 g/t Au

Road Cut Zone :

  • KDD0131
    • 6.0 m at 2.55 g/t Au from 165.0 m, incl. 2.0 m at 5.27 g/t Au
  • KDD0135
    • 7.0 m at 1.11 g/t Au from 23.0 m
    • 12.0 m at 0.62 g/t Au from 36.0 m, incl. 6.0 m at 1.00 gt Au
    • 6.0 m at 2.59 g/t Au from 202.0 m

Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: ‘These results continue to confirm the strength and continuity of gold mineralisation within the established Jagger and Road Cut Zone structures, including meaningful intersections at depth and along the Contact Zone Fault. Importantly, this phase of drilling has also identified new gold-bearing structures both in the footwall of the main Jagger shear and along strike to the south, demonstrating that mineralisation at Kossou goes beyond previously defined zones. Total drilling reported to date at Kossou now exceeds 34,800 m across 192 drill holes, including diamond and RC drilling. Together, these results expand our target inventory and further support the scale and growth potential of the Kossou system as we continue advancing toward the resource definition stage.’

Jagger Zone: Continued Drilling Confirms Mineralisation at Depth and Along Strike

Drilling at the Jagger Zone continued with 11 additional holes completed across approximately 700 m of strike , testing continuity within the main Jagger structural corridor and mineralisation at depth.

Deeper drilling continues to confirm gold mineralisation well below previously tested levels. On section JZ650 , KDD0133 intersected 2.0 m at 7.79 g/t Au approximately 200 m below surface , while KDD0136 on Section JZ700 returned 6.0 m at 1.10 g/t Au at a depth of approximately 210 m , confirming continuity of mineralised structures at depth.

Along strike, KDD0129 on Section JZ550 returned multiple intersections, including 8.0 m at 3.02 g/t Au from 285.0 m , extending mineralisation within the core of the Jagger Shear Zone. Additional intersections, including 5.0 m at 1.10 g/t Au from 364.0 m , confirm that Structure 6 extends to depths exceeding 250 m below surface . Further confirmation of depth continuity was provided by KDD0126 on Section JZ500 , which intersected 15.0 m at 0.90 g/t Au from 189.0 m , including 10.0 m at 1.16 g/t Au . All mineralised zones remain open to depth within the Jagger Shear system.

Drill hole KDD0134 ( section JZ650) tested a gold in soil geochemical target on the east of the main drill area, footwall to the Jagger Shear structure and successfully intersected 6 .0 m at 1.09 g/t Au from 11.0 m, including 3.0 m at 1.91 g/t Au, tentatively named ‘Structure 7’ (see Figure 1). This suggests additional gold bearing shear zones are present towards the Contact Zone Fault (‘CZ Fault’). Based on successful drilling of this contact in the Road Cut Zone, this hole provides confirmation of gold mineralisation in a similar stratigraphic location and will require additional drilling to advance this concept.

Road Cut Zone: Drilling Confirms Depth Extension and Contact Zone Fault Mineralisation

Drilling at the Road Cut Zone focused on two priority targets: the main shear previously intersected on section RCZ700 and gold mineralisation associated with the Contact Zone Fault and adjacent shear structures on section RCZ300.

Two drill holes are reported from this phase. In the southern portion of the zone, KDD0131 (section RCZ650), intersected 6.0 m at 2.55 g/t Au from 165.0 m , extending mineralisation to depth.

Further north, KDD0135 ( section RCZ300 ) was drilled to test the northern extension of mineralisation along the Contact Zone Fault . In addition to near-surface intersections, the hole intersected 6.0 m at 2.59 g/t Au from 202.0 m , including 3.0 m at 4.48 g/t Au , confirming strong gold mineralisation associated with the fault. This intersection extends known mineralisation by approximately 150 m to the north and supports the Contact Zone Fault as a significant mineralised control at Road Cut , with additional drilling planned to define its extent (see Figures 4 and 5).

Jagger South Zone: Drilling Confirms Along-Strike Continuity of the Jagger Shear System

Two drill holes, KDD0127 and KDD0128 , were completed to test gold-in-soil anomalies and Trench KTR110 , located approximately 1 km south of the main Jagger Zone . Trench KTR110 previously returned 14.0 m at 0.75 g/t Au .

Drill hole KDD0127 intersected 5.0 m at 0.35 g/t Au from 25.0 m and 3.0 m at 2.25 g/t Au from 48.0 m . The mineralisation is associated with quartz feldspar porphyry intrusions , similar to those observed in the central Jagger Zone , indicating regional continuity to the Jagger Shear system in southern parts. Additional work is planned to further evaluate this target area.

  • Intervals are reported with no more than 3.0 m of internal dilution of less than 0.3 m g/t Au except where indicated with an *

An accurate dip and strike and controls of mineralisation are unconfirmed and mineralised zones are reported as downhole lengths. Drill holes are planned to intersect mineralised zones perpendicular to interpreted targets. All intercepts reported are downhole distances, true widths are unknown.

Sampling, QA/QC, and Analytical Procedures

Drill core was logged and sampled by Kobo personnel at site. Drill cores were sawn in half, with one half remaining in the core box and the other half secured into new plastic sample bags with sample number tickets. Core samples are drilled using HQ core barrels to below the level of oxidation and then reduced to NQ core barrels for the remainder of the bore hole. Samples are transported to the SGS Côte d’Ivoire facility in Yamoussoukro by Kobo personnel where the entire sample was prepared for analysis (prep code PRP86/PRP94). Sample splits of 50 grams were then analysed for gold using 50g Fire Assay as per SGS Geochem Method FAA505. QA/QC procedures for the drill program include insertion of a certificated standards every 20 samples, a blank every 20 samples and a duplicate sample every 20 samples. All QAQC control samples returned values within acceptable limits.

A new pro-Trump initiative aimed at fighting for the nation’s seniors is being launched by former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, who believes delivering for seniors will be key for Republicans heading into the 2026 midterms.

In a video accompanying the launch of the new Seniors Matter For America (SMFA) initiative this week, it points out that while the youth vote received a lot of attention during the 2024 election, the upcoming midterms will be decided by older Americans, and it is essential conservatives don’t leave them behind.

‘Last November, President Trump made a promise to protect Social Security, safeguard Medicare and drive down drug costs, and he’s moving at record speed to fulfill these promises he made to seniors, who are key to MAGA victories in swing districts in 2026,’ Spicer told Fox News Digital. ‘Our coalition exists to support President Trump as he delivers on his seniors first, affordability agenda and keep his leadership on these issues top of mind as his administration continues to secure a Golden Age for generations to come.’

Leading up to November, SMFA will focus on policies that protect promised benefits for seniors, help make life more affordable for them, and ensure long-term healthcare, including efforts to create a permanent tax deduction for every senior, cut the cost of prescription drugs, and end all taxes on income from Social Security.

According to the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), which cited results from the Associated Press several days after the 2024 election, voters 50 years of age supported Donald Trump over Kamala Harris, but only by about five percentage points.

 

Voters 50 and older were also the majority of the electorate, though numbers may vary depending upon the source, AARP also noted. According to Pew Research, this age group accounted for 56% of the electorate.

President Donald Trump has vowed to protect Social Security and Medicare, but his critics have argued Trump’s actions have put these programs in jeopardy amid staffing cuts and the consolidation of regional offices. Meanwhile, Trump critics have also balked at his spending and ‘one, big beautiful bill,’ arguing it could trigger massive cuts to Medicare if Congress does not act.

But, Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act did usher in a provision ensuring roughly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits. Something SMFA would like to ensure happens for everyone on the program, according to details reviewed by Fox News Digital about the new initiative. The Republican spending package also included an additional $6,000 tax deduction for seniors, among its other provisions.

Claims that a mysterious ‘sonic weapon’ was used in Venezuela have fueled speculation about exotic U.S. military technology and its potential effects on the human body.

One eyewitness account from a Venezuelan guard, shared on social media by White Hosue press secretary Karoline Leavitt, claimed the weapon brought Venezuelan and Cuban security forces to their knees, ‘bleeding through their nose’ and vomiting blood. 

While the Trump administration has not confirmed what weapon, if any, may have been used, defense experts point to a well-known acoustic device that has been in use for years. 

Known as a long-range acoustic device, it’s been described as the ‘voice of God,’ according to Mark Cancian, a retired Marine lieutenant colonel and senior adviser for the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

The device deploys a directed, short-range ‘cone of sound.’ 

‘It’s not like a microphone, you know, where everybody’s neighborhood, it’s only within this cone,’ said Cancian. 

U.S. operators may have deployed it as they were landing on the ground in Caracas, Venezuela, as a way to disorient security forces and warn them to drop their weapons.  

LRADs can project spoken commands at intense volumes or emit a loud, piercing tone designed to get attention and deter movement. At close range, the sound can be painful and disorienting, and in extreme cases can damage hearing or rupture eardrums, but the devices are not designed to cause lasting physical harm.

It can cause pain and temporary disorientation, and can cause ruptured eardrums, but is not designed to inflict long-term damage. 

U.S. forces used them for crowd control in Iraq when Iraqis got too close to U.S. military installments, according to Cancian. 

The devices can reach up to 140 decibels of sound. The intensity drops quickly with distance and angle. This is why operators can stand nearby but outside the beam.

Other defense analysts say the account raises questions that go beyond conventional acoustic devices.

For decades, the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, has studied nonlethal technologies intended to temporarily incapacitate adversaries without causing permanent injury. Publicly available research has explored acoustic and electromagnetic effects designed to overwhelm the senses, disrupt balance or motor control, and render targets briefly unable to fight or maneuver.

Can Kasapoglu, a defense analyst at the Hudson Institute, said such research has fueled speculation about more advanced incapacitation systems, but stressed there is no public evidence any experimental DARPA technology was used in Venezuela. 

‘There are some non-lethal technologies that DARPA has been working on, including acoustic weapon systems, sound waves, and also some neurological weapon systems that do not kill, but cause an unbearable sensation that you feel that you simply become inoperable in the battlefield,’ he said. 

While the symptoms described in the post shared by Leavitt are unverified, ‘they align closely with examples of DARPA research.’

The White House and Pentagon did not respond to a request for comment.

In addition to the reported sound offense, the U.S. launched a cyberattack that knocked out communications systems as operators were landing in Caracas, Venezuela. 

‘It was dark, the lights of Caracas were largely turned off due to a certain expertise that we have, it was dark, and it was deadly,’ Trump previously said. 

‘We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation,’ the local guard said in the account shared by Leavitt. ‘The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react.’

Once operators were on the ground, ‘At one point, they launched something; I don’t know how to describe it,’ he said. ‘It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside.’

The effects were extreme, according to the guard. 

‘We all started bleeding from the nose,’ he said. ‘Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon — or whatever it was.’

The physical effects described by the guard go well beyond what experts say LRADs are known to cause. 

Vomiting blood, in particular, is not a typical reaction to acoustic exposure, raising questions about whether the account exaggerates the effects, misattributes their cause, or reflects a different factor entirely.

Experts caution that while directional acoustic devices are real and widely used, there is no publicly known ‘sonic weapon’ capable of producing the extreme injuries described — and no official confirmation that any such system was used in Venezuela.

Venezuela’s interior minister Diosdado Cabello said 100 people were killed in the Maduro operation. Cuba has said 32 members of its security forces, which were guarding Maduro, were killed in the operation. 

Seven U.S. service members were injured in the operation but none were killed.
