Trump health agenda sparks revolt: 3 West Coast governors form vaccine alliance

Three Democratic governors on the West Coast are banding together to sidestep President Donald Trump’s health agenda – a move the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) blasted as rooted in the ‘failed politics of the pandemic.’

The governors have decided to reject Trump’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) rules and create their own vaccine guidelines, potentially putting state policies at odds with federal guidance.

‘Democrat-run states that pushed unscientific school lockdowns, toddler mask mandates, and draconian vaccine passports during the COVID era completely eroded the American people’s trust in public health agencies,’ HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon told Fox News Digital on Thursday. 

Nixon added the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) ‘remains the scientific body guiding immunization recommendations in this country,’ and that the health department ‘will ensure policy is based on rigorous evidence and Gold Standard Science.’

All 17 members of the ACIP were dismissed in June as HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. vowed to ‘restore public trust’ in vaccine guidance.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek and Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson launched the West Coast Health Alliance Wednesday, just a day before Kennedy testified on vaccines before the Senate Finance Committee. The hearing comes just a month after CDC Director Susan Monarez was fired. 

‘President Trump’s mass firing of CDC doctors and scientists — and his blatant politicization of the agency — is a direct assault on the health and safety of the American people,’ the governors said in a joint statement. ‘The CDC has become a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science, ideology that will lead to severe health consequences. California, Oregon, and Washington will not allow the people of our states to be put at risk.’

The governors plan to disregard CDC guidelines under Trump and will issue their own coordinated vaccine and health guidelines in their states, grounded in medical groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. If finalized, the alliance could create dueling health systems, where millions of residents in California, Oregon, and Washington follow state vaccine recommendations that may conflict with federal guidance.

‘Through this partnership, the three states will start coordinating health guidelines by aligning immunization recommendations informed by respected national medical organizations,’ a news release on Newsom’s website said.

Tribal nations will continue to exercise full sovereignty over vaccine programs, according to the news release, noting the alliance will not interfere with federally recognized tribes’ authority to set their own health policies.

The CDC has been in turmoil for months after the Trump administration moved to clean house at the agency, firing hundreds of staffers and dismantling divisions long accused of political bias. In late August, CDC Director Susan Monarez was ousted less than a month into the job after resisting new vaccine directives, triggering a wave of resignations by senior officials.

According to the Washington Post, anonymous CDC officials said HHS leaders, including Kennedy Jr., pressed Monarez to withdraw approvals for certain COVID-19 vaccines. When she refused to go along, administration officials told her she had to resign or face termination. Monarez has since retained attorneys Mark Zaid and Abbe Lowell, who previously said she ‘has neither resigned nor yet been fired.’

The blue states say the new policies will be finalized in the coming weeks.

Pro-life group urges Senate to press RFK Jr on abortion pill safety, demand safeguards return

The Restoration of America Foundation (ROAF) is calling on the Senate Finance Committee to hold Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accountable at Thursday’s 10 a.m. hearing, demanding answers about the removal of safety protocols for the abortion pill mifepristone.

In a letter provided exclusively to Fox News Digital, ROAF argues the rollback leaves women more vulnerable and shifts costs to taxpayers.

ROAF argues that the Biden-era rollback of Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) requirements, safeguards in place for more than two decades, endangers women by allowing abortion pills to be prescribed via telehealth and delivered through the mail.

‘The removal of key Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) requirements for mifepristone has eliminated essential safeguards that protected women’s health for over two decades,’ said Doug Truax, founder and CEO of the Restoration of America Foundation. ‘We urge the Senate to demand clear answers about why these safety protocols were removed and when they will be reinstated.’

The Food and Drug Administration originally required mifepristone to be dispensed in person to ensure women were screened for potential complications such as ectopic pregnancy. That changed under the Biden administration, when telehealth prescribing and mail-order delivery were permitted for the first time.

Truax warned that ‘allowing these powerful drugs to be ordered online and sent through the mail without proper medical screening puts women at serious risk.’ He added, ‘Women deserve to know about potential complications and have immediate access to emergency care if needed.’

‘As previously mentioned, Secretary Kennedy asked Commissioner Makary to review the latest data on mifepristone,’ said HHS spokeswoman Emily G. Hilliard to Fox News Digital. ‘Commissioner Makary will ensure gold standard science is used while incorporating practical, common-sense considerations to its regulatory processes.’

RFK Jr and top Dem clash during heated Senate hearing: ‘This is about kids’

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., got into a heated debate with Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Or., during a hearing on Thursday.

The exchange came as Kennedy was testifying before the Senate Finance Committee. Wyden accused Kennedy of putting children into ‘harm’s way’ with his policies and argued Kennedy has shown no regrets about doing so.

‘This is about kids being pushed into harm’s way by reckless and repeated decisions to get scientists and doctors out of the way and allow conspiracy theories to dictate this country’s health policy,’ Wyden said at the end of his questioning. 

‘I don’t see any evidence that you have any regrets about anything you’ve done or plans to change it. And my last comment is, I hope that you will tell the American people how many preventable child deaths are an acceptable sacrifice for enacting an agenda that I think is fundamentally cruel and defies common sense. Thank you, Mr. Chairman,’ Wyden said.

‘Do I get a reply?’ Kennedy said. ‘Senator you’ve sat in that chair how long? 20-25 years while the chronic disease of our children went up to 76%. And you said nothing.’

‘You never asked the question why it’s happening. Why is this happening? Today, for the first time in 20 years, we’ve learned that infant mortality has increased in our country. It’s not because I came in here. It’s because of what happened during the Biden administration that we’re going to end,’ he continued.

Committee Chairman Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, then intervened, granting Wyden another chance to speak briefly, though his microphone remains turned off.

‘We’re going to proceed,’ Crapo says. ‘I gave Senator Wyden as ranking member some leeway there, but we’re gonna stick to the five minutes.’

Kennedy’s testimony came one day after over 1,000 current and former HHS employees signed a letter calling for his resignation on Wednesday. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Ver., also called for his resignation.

GOP divided following RFK Jr.

Kennedy’s critics point to his firing of former Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Susan Monarez.

‘We believe health policy should be based in strong, evidence-based principles rather than partisan politics. But under Secretary Kennedy’s leadership, HHS policies are placing the health of all Americans at risk, regardless of their politics,’ the Wednesday letter read.

Google CEO, major tech leaders join first lady Melania Trump at White House AI meeting

First lady Melania Trump is hosting an artificial intelligence meeting with top industry leaders, including Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Thursday, as she stresses the importance of managing AI’s growth ‘responsibly.’ 

The White House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence Education will meet for the second time in the East Room of the White House Thursday afternoon. The first lady will host the meeting alongside members of the task force and private sector leaders.

‘I predict AI will represent the single largest growth category in our nation during the Trump Administration — and I won’t be surprised if AI becomes known as the greatest engine of progress in the history of the United States of America,’ the first lady said.

But the first lady warned that ‘as leaders and parents we must manage AI’s growth responsibly.’

‘During this primitive stage, it is our duty to treat AI as we would our own children — empowering, but with watchful guidance,’ the first lady said. ‘We are living in a moment of wonder, and it is our responsibility to prepare America’s children.’

The meeting is expected to feature remarks by the first lady and task force members, along with private sector leaders who have pledged to support AI education across the nation.

Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai, Code.org President Cameron Wilson and CEO and Chairman of IBM Arvind Krishna will attend the Thursday meeting. 

Members of the task force include director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Michael Kratsios; Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins; Education Secretary Linda McMahon; Energy Secretary Chris Wright; Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer; and White House Special Advisor for AI and crypto czar David Sacks.

Hayley Harrison, an assistant to the president and chief of staff to the first lady also will attend, along with assistant to the president and deputy national security adviser Robert Gabriel Jr. and assistant to the president for domestic policy Vince Haley.

The meeting is expected to take place hours before President Donald Trump hosts a dinner in the White House Rose Garden for nearly two-dozen Big Tech leaders, including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and OpenAI founder Sam Altman.

Meanwhile, the first lady has been a champion of online protection of children and youth through her ‘Be Best’ initiative launched during the first Trump administration.

In 2025, the first lady garnered support on Capitol Hill for the passage of the Take it Down Act, which was signed into law by the president on May 19. The law punishes internet abuse involving nonconsensual, explicit imagery.

The meeting also comes after the first lady, in August, launched a nationwide Presidential Artificial Intelligence Challenge, which invited every student and educator across the nation to ‘unleash their imagination and showcase the spirit of American innovation’ by visiting AI.gov to sign up.

The first lady also recently launched an audiobook of her memoir, using AI audio technology in multiple languages.

The first lady told Fox News Digital that her partners developed ‘an AI-generated replica of my voice under strict supervision, which will establish an unforgettable connection with my personal story, in multiple languages for listeners worldwide.’

RFK Jr denies telling former CDC director to approve vaccine recommendations

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accused his former head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of lying about vaccine recommendations.

Kennedy appeared before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday for a hearing focused on President Donald Trump’s healthcare agenda, dubbed Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) on the campaign trail last year.

But the recent turmoil at the CDC caused by the firing of former CDC Director Susan Monarez and the exodus of several senior officials, along with Kennedy’s view on vaccines, became a focal point for both Senate Republicans and Democrats on the panel.

During a fiery exchange at the start of the hearing between Kennedy and Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, Kennedy accused Monarez of lying in a recent Wall Street Journal opinion piece.

Monarez was fired less than a month after being confirmed by the Senate and charged in her op-ed that during a meeting with the secretary last month, she was pressured to resign or be fired after being ordered to ‘pre-approve the recommendations of a vaccine advisory panel newly filled with people who have publicly expressed anti-vaccine rhetoric.’

Wyden questioned whether Kennedy did tell Monarez to ‘just go along with vaccine recommendations even if she didn’t think such recommendations aligned with scientific evidence?’

‘Yes or no? You have an opportunity to call her a liar. If you say that you didn’t, do it,’ the Oregon Democrat said. ‘But I’d like to see you respond to this.’

‘No,’ Kennedy said. ‘No, I did not say that to her. And I never had a private meeting with her.’

Kennedy argued earlier in the hearing that the reason he fired Monarez, along with the entirety of the CDC’s vaccine recommendation panel to restore the CDC to the ‘gold standard’ of healthcare.

‘America is home to 4.2% of the world’s population. Yet we had nearly 20% COVID deaths. We literally did worse than any country in the world. And the people at the CDC who oversaw that process, who put masks on our children, who closed our schools, are the people who will be leaving,’ Kennedy said. ‘And that’s why we need bold, competent and creative new leadership at CDC.’

‘People are able and willing to chart a new course,’ he continued. ‘As my father once said, ‘Progress is a nice word, [but] change [is a] motivator. And change has its enemies.’ That’s why we need new blood at CDC.’

Trump admin to send workers abroad to boost US shipbuilding, counter China’s edge

The U.S. Labor Department is planning to partner up with allies like South Korea and Japan to train U.S. workers to become shipbuilders under President Donald Trump’s push to revitalize the industry. 

While China is massively outpacing the U.S. when it comes to shipbuilding, the Labor Department will announce an $8 million funding availability Thursday for an international fellowship program that will pair up U.S. institutions with foreign counterparts to remedy this disparity. 

The four-year proposed project will team up U.S. training centers, registered apprenticeship programs and education institutions like community colleges with foreign training centers, and shipyards in Canada, Finland, Italy, Japan, South Korea and other countries to provide U.S. workers with advanced shipbuilding skills, according to the Labor Department. 

The fellowship, led by the Labor Department’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs, will prioritize training for boilermakers, industrial electricians, steelworkers, steamfitters, shipwrights and welders.

Likewise, the funding will also go toward creating a specialized, internationally recognized trade curriculum aimed at fostering more advanced training in the U.S. The initiative seeks to garner knowledge from allies and distribute it more widely among workers within the U.S. to expand shipbuilding trade skills domestically. 

‘Working closely with our allies will advance the Department of Labor’s mission to create effective shipbuilding apprenticeship programs right here in the United States,’ Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer said in a statement to Fox News Digital. ‘President Trump is restoring America’s maritime dominance by preparing our workforce to outcompete China and strengthen our national security.’

The U.S. is severely behind near-peer competitors like China when it comes to shipbuilding — and allies like South Korea and Japan. 

China is responsible for more than 50% of global shipbuilding, while South Korea is responsible for nearly 29% and Japan 13%, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies. That’s compared to just 0.1% from the U.S. 

‘The erosion of U.S. and allied shipbuilding capabilities poses an urgent threat to military readiness, reduces economic opportunities, and contributes to China’s global power-projection ambitions,’ the Center for Strategic and International Studies said in a March report. 

But Trump has directed his attention to the industry, and told lawmakers in March that he would ‘resurrect’ both commercial and military shipbuilding. Additionally, Trump signed an executive order in April aimed at reinvigorating the U.S. shipbuilding sector. 

Specifically, the executive order called for assessments regarding how the government could bolster financial support through the Defense Production Act, the Department of Defense Office of Strategic Capital, a new Maritime Security Trust Fund, investment from shipbuilders from allied countries and other grant programs.

It also instructed agencies to develop a maritime action plan and ordered the U.S. trade representative to compile a list of recommendations to address China’s ‘anticompetitive actions within the shipbuilding industry.’ 

The new fellowship program stems from Trump’s executive order, according to the Labor Department. 

Those eligible to apply for the funding opportunity include any commercial, international, educational or nonprofit organization, which includes faith-based, community-based or public international groups.

The application deadline is Sept. 26.

GOP duo unveils plan to force Congress to ‘face consequences’ as shutdown looms

A pair of congressional Republicans is determined to keep the government open and willing to force their colleagues to stay in Washington, D.C., to get it done.

Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., and Rep. Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, plan to introduce legislation that would keep lawmakers in town until a short-term government funding extension, known as a continuing resolution (CR), or spending bills are passed to avert a partial government shutdown.

Congress still does not have a plan in place to ward off a shutdown by the Sept. 30 deadline, and both sides of the aisle have already started the annual blame game as to which party would own the partial closure.

So far, the Senate has advanced a trio of spending bills, while the House has passed only two — although lawmakers in the lower chamber were gearing up to advance the Energy and Water appropriations bill on Thursday.

Lankford said in a statement to Fox News Digital that as the nation’s debt creeps beyond $37 trillion, ‘Congress cannot keep avoiding the hard choices to fix it.’

‘Shutting down the government does not fix the debt problem, it just makes it worse,’ he said. ‘The best way to finish negotiating the hard issue is to keep Congress in Washington until the budget is finished. That puts the pressure on lawmakers, not on families and important services.’

If Congress fails to get a deal in place to keep the government open, the duo’s bill would trigger an automatic CR ‘on rolling 14-day periods’ that would stay in place until lawmakers either pass all 12 appropriations bills or strike a deal on a stopgap bill.

The bill would also force Congress, their staff and members of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to stay in D.C. until the job is done.

It would require that no motions to adjourn or recess could be made for longer than 23 hours, mandatory quorum calls each day to ensure attendance, and no other legislation would be allowed to be considered until a CR or spending bills were passed.

‘In the real world, if you fail to do your job, there are consequences,’ Arrington said in a statement to Fox News Digital. ‘Yet, when Congress fails to pass appropriations on time, the burden falls squarely on hardworking Americans — taxpayers, seniors, and our men and women in uniform.’

Meanwhile, appropriators in the House and Senate are working to find a path forward on a deal.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said he hoped the CR would originate in the House, based off negotiations between House Appropriations Chair Tom Cole, R-Okla., and Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins, R-Maine.

‘My hope would be that whatever that CR looks like, it’s clean, and that it enables us to buy some time to get a regular appropriations process done,’ he said.

But the White House’s move last week to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding through a ‘pocket rescission’ has some Republicans worried that it could jeopardize the bipartisan nature of the appropriations process in the Senate, where Democrats will be needed to keep the government open.

So far, it appears that Senate Democrats aren’t ready to totally buck their Republican counterparts, but are demanding that they be involved in negotiations to craft a CR.

‘If House Republicans, however, go a different route and try and jam through a partisan CR without any input from Democratic members of Congress, and they suddenly find they don’t have the votes they need from our caucus to fund the government, well, then that is a Republican shutdown,’ said Sen. Patty Murray, of Washington., top-ranking Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Apollo Increases Measured and Indicated Silver Resource Estimate at Calico Project

Apollo Silver Corp. (‘ Apollo ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) (TSX.V:APGO, OTCQB:APGOF, Frankfurt:6ZF0) is pleased to announce the results of an updated independent Mineral Resource estimate (‘MRE’) for its Calico Silver Project (‘Calico’ or the ‘Calico Project’) located in San Bernardino County, California. Total silver (‘Ag’) Measured & Indicated (‘M&I’) tonnes at the Waterloo property have increased by 61% to a total of 55 million tonnes (‘Mt’) at a grade of 71 grams per tonne (‘gt’) Ag for a total content of 125 million troy ounces (‘Moz’). This represents a 14% increase in Ag ounces compared to the previous MRE (dated March 6, 2023). In addition to updating the gold resource at Waterloo, inaugural barite (‘BaSO4’) and zinc (‘Zn’) resources have been included in both the Indicated and Inferred categories.

News Highlights

  • New combined Measured and Indicated total of 55 Mt at a grade of 71 g/t Ag for a total of 125 Moz Ag
    • 61% increase in tonnage and a 14% increase in Ag ounces representing an increase of 15 Moz contained Ag
  • Inferred total of 0.6 million tonnes at a grade of 26 g/t Ag for a total of 0.51 Moz contained Ag
  • Sensitivity analyses show resiliency of the Ag resource to changes in metal price
  • Inaugural BaSO 4 and Zn resources are estimated as:
    • Indicated: 36 Mt @ 7.4% BaSO 4 and 0.45% Zn for a total content of 2.7 Mt BaSO 4 and 354 million pounds (‘Mlbs’) Zn
    • Inferred: 17 Mt @ 3.9% BaSO 4 and 0.71% Zn for a total content of 0.65 Mt BaSO 4 and 258 Mlbs Zn
  • Gold ounces have increased by 86% in the Inferred category for a new total of 17 Mt at a grade of 0.25 g/t Au and total Au content of 0.13 Moz
  • One single pit for all metals at Waterloo deposit with a low strip ratio of 0.8:1
  • The increased quantities of Ag and Au, the addition of two new critical minerals, and the larger single pit with low strip ratio has derisked the Calico Project

Further Growth Opportunities

  • Silver : There remain further opportunities to expand the Ag mineralization below the base of the 2025 MRE in the northern region of the Waterloo deposit.
  • Barite and Zinc : The indicated and inferred mineral resources for BaSO 4 and Zn show clear potential to be upgraded into M&I via infill drilling and re-assays.
  • Gold : Mineralization remains open along strike and at depth. Future work will target additional mineralization along strike with a particular focus on the high-grade structures.
  • Langtry Property : Many areas under the Quaternary cover remain untested. In addition, the potential for BaSO 4 and other metals have not yet been evaluated in detail at Langtry.

Ross McElroy, President and CEO for Apollo, commented: ‘ The Calico Project continues to increase in value, scale and optionality. Already boasting one of the largest undeveloped silver deposits in the US, new data confirms the presence of additional minerals, such as barite and zinc, which are included on the US critical mineral list. These findings will contribute to our project development plans, including an upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). Notably, much of the mineralization occurs at shallow depths, resulting in a low economic strip rate. With a substantial land position, there is strong potential for further discoveries at Calico. ‘

CALICO PROJECT 2025 MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE

The 2025 MRE focused on upgrading and expanding the Waterloo resource estimate from that declared in 2023 (see news release dated March 6, 2023). The most significant change in the 2025 MRE is the addition of BaSO4 and Zn to the Ag and Au mineral resources for the Waterloo deposit and updated mineral resource estimate cut-off (‘COG’) grades for both the Waterloo and Langtry deposits. The Waterloo MRE now contains 125 Moz Ag in 55 Mt at an average grade of 71 g/t Ag in M&I categories, and 0.51 Moz Ag in 0.6 Mt at an average grade of 26 g/t Ag in the Inferred category. The Langtry MRE now contains 57 Moz Ag in 24 Mt at an average grade of 73 g/t Ag in the Inferred category.

In addition to its robust Ag resource, the Waterloo resource now contains 2.7 Mt BaSO4 and 354 Mlbs Zn in 36 Mt at an average grade of 7.4 % BaSO4 and 0.45 % Zn in the Indicated category, and 0.65 Mt BaSO4 and 258 Mlbs Zn in 17 Mt at an average grade of 3.9 % BaSO4 and 0.71 % Zn in the Inferred category. Also, 0.13 Moz oxide Au contained in 17 Mt at an average grade of 0.25 g/t Au in the Inferred category. Oxide Au mineralization has been drilled over 1,000 m strike length and remains open in multiple directions. Figures 1 and 2 present the mineral resource block model grade and classification for each of the metals, respectively.

Mineralization at Waterloo and Langtry is shallow and shows high continuity along the 1.8 km long strike length at Waterloo and 1.25 km at Langtry of the deposit. The 2025 MRE is calculated to a maximum open pit depth of approximately 192 m (630 ft) at Waterloo and approximately 149 m (490 ft) at Langtry for all metals. An open pit optimization is used to determine reasonable prospects for economic extraction, the calculated waste to mineralization tonnage ratio for the total resource at Waterloo is 0.8:1and 2.8:1 at Langtry.

Data Input

The 2025 MRE considered drilling information up to and including the most recently completed program in 2022, as well as geological information from Apollo’s 2021, 2022 and 2025 exploration activities. Drilling data supporting the 2025 MRE includes information from historic drilling data from 258 holes (18,679 m/61,282 ft), and 2022 drilling data from 85 holes (9,729 m/31,918 ft) for a total of 343 holes (28,407 m/93,199 ft). Nominal drill hole spacing is 30 x 46 m (100 x 150 ft) within the Measured portion of the 2025 MRE. Of the drill data set used, 332 holes are rotary or reverse circulation holes, and 11 holes are diamond drill holes.

For the 2025 MRE, additional re-assaying of 7,431 historical and recent drill pulps by X-Ray Fluorescence for barium (‘Ba’) and barium oxide (‘BaO)’) was completed or a total of 7,893 Ba samples used for estimation. The Ba as well as existing Zn assay (4-acid or aqua-regia) assay results were subject to a comprehensive quality assurance/quality control (‘QAQC’) program that was reviewed by Mariea Kartick, P.Geo. (Stantec), an independent ‘Qualified Person’ (or ‘QP’) as such term is defined within National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (‘NI 43-101’). In addition, detailed surface mapping and rock sampling were completed in the Burcham area of the Waterloo Property. The mapping and sampling provided a better understanding of the extent of the Au mineralization at surface and within the Pickhandle Formation as well as helped refine orientations of high-angle gold-bearing structures in the geologic model.

No additional Ag and Au assay data was used for the 2025 MRE from that acquired for the 2023 MRE. Material changes in Ag and Au resource in the 2025 MRE from the 2023 MRE are due to changing economics from 2023 to 2025 and inclusion of BaSO4 and Zn in the overall resource for the Waterloo deposit. Verification of drilling exploration data used for the 2025 MRE was performed by Mariea Kartick, P.Geo. (Stantec), an independent QP.

Cut-Off Grade and Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction

For the Waterloo MRE two base-case cut-off grades are used. A silver equivalent (‘AgEQ’) cut-off grade of 47 g/t was calculated for a combined recovery of Ag, BaSO4, Zn and Au and where the combined mineralization of these metals was less than AgEQ COG, gold-only recovery were evaluated for a Au COG grade of 0.17 g/t. For Langtry silver-only recovery is considered for a lower Ag COG grade of 43 g/t. The above cut-off grades were determined using the following assumptions:

  • Silver price of US$28 per troy ounce, gold price of US$2,451 per troy ounce, barite price of US$120 per mt and zinc price of US$ 1.22 per pound
  • Combined metal (Ag, BaSO 4 , Zn, Au) processing costs of US$26.5 per short ton;
  • Gold only processing cost of US$8.2 per short ton
  • Silver only processing cost of US$24 per short ton
  • Included in all processing costs are general and administrative costs of US$3 per short ton;
  • Mining costs of US$2.8 per short ton; and
  • Silver recovery of 65%, BaSO 4 recovery of 85%, Zn recovery of 80% and Au recovery of 80%.

Metal recoveries are based on results from the 2022 Metallurgical Test Program (see news releases dated February 14, 2023, February 23, 2023 and May 2, 2023) and published recoveries for comparative operations. Silver, Zn and Au prices were calculated by averaging published monthly commodity prices from the last 24 months up to June 2025 based on data from the World Bank. Barite price was based on historical BaSO4 pricing trends from 2013 to 2023, the last year when publicly available barite pricing data was available. Changes in metal prices, optimized processing parameters and/or improved metal recoveries will all impact cut-off grade and any resultant MRE.

Reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction were assessed by calculating recovered block revenues for silver grade blocks above cut-off grade, less surface mining costs, and generating an optimized Hexagon© MinePlan Pseudoflow economic pit shell at constant slope of 45 degrees that is constrained to within the property claim boundaries.

Sensitivity Analysis

A sensitivity analysis was undertaken to examine the impacts of varying the cut-off grades for AgEQ grades and tonnes for the Waterloo deposit within the base case economic pit shell and for Ag only grades and tonnes in the Langtry deposit. The available tonnes and average grade for each COG from within the 2025 MRE economic pit shell is shown in Table 2 for Waterloo and in Table 3 for Langtry.

Resource Estimation Methodology

The 2025 MRE was prepared in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101 and applicable guidelines disseminated by CIM. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred resources are uncertain in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred Resources as Indicated or Measured.

The 2025 MRE resource block model was oriented along regional strike of mineralization controlling range front fault (Calico fault) and bedding, at approximately 045 degrees. Metal grades were estimated using ordinary kriging into a 20 ft x 20 ft x 10 ft block model using 5 ft drill hole composites and a bulk density of 2.44 t/m 3 (13.13 ft 3 /st). The block models are constrained to the west by the Calico range front fault and to the east by the contact between the mineralized Barstow formation sedimentary rocks and the Pickhandle formation rhyolitic rocks. Both structures are mineralization controlling features. A grade capping evaluation was performed, and for the Waterloo Property only the following drillhole grades were capped prior to estimation: Ag 450 g/t, Au 2 g/t, Ba 31% and Zn 7%. No grade capping was deemed necessary for the Langtry Property.

The MRE was internally audited, and peer reviewed by Stantec prior to being released to the Company and being declared final. Further, the Company completed an internal review of the 2025 MRE data supplied by Stantec. A full description of the data and the data verification process will be detailed in the technical report associated with the 2025 MRE, which will be prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and filed within 45 days of this news release on the Company’s website and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca .

SAMPLING AND QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL

Additional sampling since the 2023 MRE and prior to the 2025 MRE included re-assaying of 7,797 drill pulps (primary plus QAQC) by X-Ray Fluorescence for Ba and BaO at ALS in Reno, Nevada and a metallurgical testing program for barite from five PQ drill core composites was completed at McClelland Laboratories Inc., in Sparks, Nevada. Results from the metallurgical test were presented in a prior News Release (May 2, 2023).

Pulps from historical and the 2022 drill program were submitted to ALS Reno for sample preparation and Ba analysis. Historical pulps were homogenized by light pulverizing (HOM-01) and the pulverisers were washed between samples (WSH22). After preparation, splits of prepared pulps are securely shipped to ALS Vancouver, British Columbia for analysis. Most of the pulps were analyzed using X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (‘XRF’) methods ME-XRF10, with the exception of a few samples that were analysed with ME-XRF15c (samples with high sulphide content) or ME-XRF26 (selected samples for a more complete suite of elements). The detection limits for Ba with ME-XRF10 is between 0.01 and 45%, between 0.01 and 50% with ME-XRF15C and for BaO with ME-XRF26 0.01-66%. All analyses were completed at ALS Vancouver.

The Company maintains its own comprehensive quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC’) program to ensure best practices in sample preparation and analysis for samples. The QA/QC program includes the insertion and analysis of certified reference materials, commercial pulp blanks, preparation blanks, and field duplicates to the laboratories. Apollo’s QA/QC program includes ongoing auditing of all laboratory results from the laboratories. The Company’s Qualified Person is of the opinion that the sample preparation, analytical, and security procedures followed are sufficient and reliable. The Company is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery, or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data reported herein.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Location

The Calico Project is located in San Bernardino County, California and comprises the adjacent Waterloo, Langtry, and Mule properties which total 8,283 acres. The Calico Project is 15 km (9 miles) from the city of Barstow, 5 km (3 miles) from commercial electric power and has an extensive private gravel road network spanning the property.

Geology and Mineralization

The Calico Project is situated in the southern Calico Mountains of the Mojave Desert, in the south-western region of the Basin and Range tectonic province.

HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr to face Senate panel after CDC turmoil

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to testify on Capitol Hill on Thursday, a week after turmoil engulfed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Lawmakers on the Senate Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over the HHS, will hear from Kennedy on President Donald Trump’s healthcare agenda, dubbed by the secretary as the Make America Healthy Again movement.

While the committee does not directly oversee the CDC, the recent firing of former CDC Director Susan Monarez, the wave of high-level officials departing and other moves at the agency taken under Kennedy’s tenure are expected to dominate the line of questioning from both Republicans and Democratic lawmakers on the panel.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who is a member of the panel, told reporters that Kennedy would face ‘hard questions’ from committee members, particularly over frustrations over Monarez, who was confirmed by the Senate less than a month before her ouster.

‘He’s gotta take responsibility… we confirm these people,’ the South Dakota Republican said. ‘We go through a lot of work to get them confirmed. And they’re in office a month?’

Speculation has swirled over the reason behind Monarez’s firing given her differing stance on vaccines compared to Kennedy, who spent much of his presidential campaign and tenure as secretary going after the efficacy and safety of vaccination, particularly those for COVID-19.

Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., who chairs the Senate health committee and was the deciding vote that propelled Kennedy to a role in the Trump administration, is also set to question the secretary.

Last week, he demanded that the federal government’s vaccine advisory panel, which was filled with Kennedy’s handpicked replacements after he recently booted the original panel members, postpone its scheduled meeting in September until ‘significant oversight’ was carried out by his committee, and charged that any recommendations made by the advisory panel should be rejected until then.

Cassidy told Fox News Digital that he was working on just what the oversight measures would look like and expected to announce his plans soon. In the meantime, he noted that he was supportive of Kennedy and Trump’s commitment to ‘radical transparency,’ but noted that his main concerns were about children’s health.  

‘It isn’t about R versus D. It isn’t about, you know, internecine fights within the Republican Party. It is about children and grandchildren, and will they die or be at risk of dying from vaccine-preventable disease,’ Cassidy said. ‘Now we’ve got to get to the truth of this.’

He also argued that members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices are supposed to receive materials to review before making vaccine recommendations and decisions, but questioned where the information would be coming from in the wake of several senior members of the CDC making their exit after Monarez’s firing.

‘We’ve got to have some sort of radical transparency into what scientific justification is being used for that,’ he said. ‘Is it a political appointee? Well, to say a political appointee is making scientific recommendations. Who’s a political appointee? I mean, are they a doctor, a PhD, or are they a political appointee? Our concern is they might just be political appointees, but we’re going to find that out.’

Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., another member of the Senate Finance Committee, told Fox News Digital that his line of questioning would focus on the abortion drug Mifepristone and its safety, but added that it was ‘fair’ for lawmakers to have debate over Kennedy’s leadership of the CDC and HHS.

‘It’s typical for any secretary that comes up, but I’m sure many of these issues that have been raised are related to some concerns. These questions are going to be asked, and I’m grateful that the Secretary will be there to explain what he sees going on and the path forward,’ he said.

Meanwhile, Kennedy defended his moves at the CDC in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece on Tuesday and contended that ‘President Trump has asked me to restore that trust and return the CDC to its core mission.’

He wrote that steps have already been taken to ‘eliminate conflicts of interest and bureaucratic complacency’ at the agency, and that leaders who ‘resisted reform’ had already been replaced.

‘Most CDC rank-and-file staff are honest public servants,’ Kennedy said. ‘Under this renewed mission, they can do their jobs as scientists without bowing to politics. The agency will again become the world authority on infectious-disease policy.’

‘First, the CDC must restore public trust — and that restoration has begun,’ he continued. ‘It won’t stop until America’s public-health institutions again serve the people with transparency, honesty and integrity.’

Fox News Digital reached out to the HHS for comment but did not hear back immediately.

Silver47 Highlights Expansive High-Grade Gold and Silver System at the Kennedy Project, Nevada

Samples up to 44.5 g/t Gold, 3,037 g/t Silver, and 8.56% Copper

Silver47 Exploration Corp. (TSXV: AGA,OTC:AAGAF) (OTCQB: AAGAF) (‘Silver47’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide assay results from a recently completed rock sampling program at its high-grade Kennedy gold-silver Project in Nevada (the ‘Kennedy Project’). Results demonstrate strong prospectivity for high-grade gold and silver mineralization across the under-explored project.

Highlights:

  • High-Grade Assay Results: Select rock samples returned exceptional grades, including:
    • 21.9 g/t Au, 2,336 g/t Ag, 8.56% Cu (Borlasca Vein)
    • 6.2 g/t Au, 3,037 g/t Ag (Fourth of July Vein)
    • 40.4 g/t Au, 232 g/t Ag (Gold Note Vein)
    • 39.4 g/t Au, 370 g/t Ag (Cricket Vein)
    • 12.7 g/t Au, 305 g/t Ag (Accident Vein)
    • 15.9 g/t Au, 323 g/t Ag (Coyote Vein)
    • 19.5 g/t Au, 273 g/t Ag (Danneburg Vein)
    • 30.4 g/t Au, 148 g/t Ag (Imperial Vein)
    • 3.1 g/t Au, 583 g/t Ag (Trail/Senator Vein)
    • 44.5 g/t Au (Hidden Treasure Vein)
  • Expanded Land Holdings: Silver47 has staked substantial additional land around the mineralized vein system covering all prospective open ground around the Kennedy district, which is not shown on Figure 1.
  • Large High-Grade Vein Footprint: Sampling across a 3 km x 2 km area reveals widespread gold and silver mineralization, establishing the Kennedy Project as a high-potential precious metal district in Nevada.
  • Undrilled Nevada Vein Field: Approximately 22 km of near-surface veins, largely untouched by modern exploration, present a compelling opportunity for significant discoveries.
  • Robust Exploration Program Planned: A multidisciplinary program including geological mapping, rock chip sampling, ground geophysics, and soil-geochemical surveys is panned for this fall to pinpoint high-priority drill targets.
  • Red Mountain Project Drill Program Progress: 12 holes have been completed at the Dry Creek and West Tundra Flats deposits where zones of massive, semi-massive and disseminated sulfides have been intersected in step-out and infill holes. Assays are pending and drilling continues.

Galen McNamara, CEO, stated: ‘Our exploration at the Kennedy Project is revealing high-grade gold and silver targets across a 22 km network of largely untested veins. Having acquired this project by claim staking last year, it is also royalty free. These initial results validate our acquisition strategy and position the district as a unique discovery opportunity in Nevada. Concurrently, drilling at our Red Mountain project in Alaska is progressing well, with drilling intersecting promising massive sulfide zones. We look forward to sharing assay results as they become available to showcase the strength of our American project portfolio.’

Defining Widespread High-Grade Gold-Silver Mineralization

A reconnaissance-style prospecting and sampling program was recently completed by Silver47’s exploration team on unpatented mining claims of the Kennedy Project. The purpose of the program was to confirm the presence of high-grade gold-silver-base metal mineralization across eleven targets (Figure 1). Areas of historic surface workings (e.g., blast pits and mine dumps) as well as outcrop, subcrop and float were sampled. In total, 109 samples were collected (see April 24th, 2025 news release for first batch of results). Data from over 40 historic rock samples were also compiled and combined with the new data creating a rock geochemical database of over 150 samples (Figure 1).

Selective sampling across the eleven targets (Figure 1) demonstrates the scale and high-grade potential of vein-systems typical of the Kennedy Project. Highlights from recent and historical sampling include:

  • Gold Note: Most of the historic gold production in the Kennedy district was from the Gold Note mine. The mine was centered on a series of high-angle, broadly east-west striking quartz veins hosted in volcanic and sedimentary rocks and traced for over 350 m. Waste material from the mine has been stacked in dumps near the main Union and No. 2 adits (Figure 1). Sampling of these dumps returned grades up to 40.4 g/t Au with 232 g/t Ag and 11.1 g/t Au with 1,020 g/t Ag (Table 1) and the 14 new and compiled samples average 7.9 g/t Au with 193 g/t Ag. These results agree with historic mine grades which were reportedly as high as 15.5 g/t Au with 311 g/t Ag¹.

  • Borlasca: The east-west trending Borlasca target comprises a series of northwest to west striking structures centered approximately 900 m east of the Gold Note mine. Veins and oxidized vein-breccias are hosted in porphyritic rhyolite associated with strong silicification. Samples of dump and outcrop from across the three main Borlasca veins have returned up to 21.9 g/t Au with 2,336 g/t Ag with 8.56% Cu. The strong copper mineralization in many of the Borlasca samples suggest strong prospectivity for copper mineralization across this part of the Kennedy district.

  • Coyote: The northwest-striking Coyote vein system is centered approximately 600 m north of the Gold Note mine. Veins and quartz-cemented breccias of the Coyote target are hosted primarily in granite and quartz-phyric rhyolite. Samples of dump material, subcrop and float from the main Coyote target returned grades up to 15.9 g/t Au with 323 g/t Ag and 2.9 g/t Au with 759 g/t Ag (Table 1). Sampling 600 m along strike to the northwest returned 5.7 g/t Au with 20.8 g/t Ag (sample 350121, Table 1).

  • Cricket-Accident trend: The north-northwest striking Cricket target is centered approximately 2.2 km northeast of the Gold Note mine (Figure 1). The vein-system is hosted near a contact between andesite and monzonite and consists of brecciated and drusy quartz veins and veinlets. The Cricket vein has been sampled (outcrop and dumps) for over 200 m along strike with grades up to 39.4 g/t Au and 370 g/t Ag (15 samples average 12.3 g/t Au and 132 g/t Ag). High-grade gold and silver mineralization at Cricket is locally associated with strong lead and antimony mineralization (up to 3.0% Pb and 3,540 ppm Sb). The Accident vein, 300 m along strike to the south of Cricket, is interpreted to be part of the same 800 m north-trending vein-system. Sampling at Accident returned up to 12.7 g/t Au with 305 g/t Ag (Table 1). Further sampling along trend north of Cricket towards the historic Wall Street mine and along trend south of Accident is warranted.

  • Fourth of July: The Fourth of July vein sets are hosted in strongly oxidized granite/monzonite and comprise quartz-rich breccias and veins. Sampling of outcrop, subcrop, dump and float along a 200 m trend at Fourth of July returned up to 6.2 g/t Au with 3,037 g/t Ag and 9.6 g/t Au with 2,360 g/t Ag. The veins may represent a possible southern offset of the Cricket-Accident trend of veins and supports the strong prospectivity for high-grade gold-silver mineralization in broadly north-trending structural corridors.

  • Trail-Imperial trend: The historic Trail/Senator mine represents the southern extent of the broadly north-trending Trail-Imperial corridor. The high-grade Imperial Mine represents the northern extent of the 1.0 km long corridor. The Trail/Senator target comprises quartz-rich veins and breccias with associated wall rock hosted quartz-stringers and veinlets. Sampling of dumps and outcrop returned up to 8.61 g/t Au with 133 g/t Ag and 6.4 g/t Au with 43.1 g/t Ag. At Imperial, primarily hosted in quartz monzonite sampling returned up to 30.4 g/t Au with 148 g/t Ag and 16.8 g/t Au with 17.2 g/t Ag. Similar to the parallel Cricket-Accident trend, the Trail-Imperial corridor demonstrated strong prospectivity for high-grade gold and silver mineralization along north-trending structural corridors.

  • Hidden Treasure-Chromo trend: The Hidden Treasure set of mineralized veins are centered 800 m north of the Gold Note mine and hosted primarily in volcanics and breccias near the contact with granite. Together with the Chromo target (Figure 1), 300 m along strike to the north, the mineralized Hidden Treasure-Chromo trend comprises high-grade gold-bearing breccias with samples up to 44.5 g/t Au and 27.6 g/t Au (7 samples at Hidden Treasure average 15.6 g/t Au and 31 g/t Ag).

  • Danneburg: The Danneburg group of mineralized vein occurrences, covering a 200 by 150 m area, is centered approximately 3.0 km northeast of the Gold Note mine. Drusy and oxidized veins hosted in silicified and oxidized granite returned up 19.5 g/t Au with 273 g/t Ag and 3.8 g/t Au with 554 g/t Ag in dump material. Further work is required at Danneburg to define the strike-extent of the dominant north- and northwest-striking vein-sets.

Based on the results from the preliminary sampling and prospecting program, an additional 4,000 acres of unpatented mining claims have been acquired through staking. The strategic claims cover all prospective open ground around the Kennedy district.

Next Steps

The extensive mineralized corridors across the Kennedy Project with multiple high-grade targets have not yet seen any systematic modern exploration. A multidisciplinary program consisting of geological mapping, ground geophysics (magnetics and induced polarization) and soil and rock geochemical surveys are planned to refine existing targets and define new drill targets. Follow-up exploration is set to commence this fall.

Analytical and Quality Assurance and Quality Control Procedures

Rock samples were sent to Paragon Geochemical Laboratories in Sparks, Nevada for preparation and analysis. Paragon meets all requirements of International Standards ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and ISO 9001:2015 for analytical procedures. Samples were analyzed for gold via fire assay with an MS finish (‘AU-FA30′), and for silver via inductively-coupled plasma, mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) after four-acid digestion (’48MA-MS’). Samples assaying over 8 ppm Au were re-run via fire assay for Au with a gravimetric finish (‘AU-GR30’). Samples that assayed over 100 ppm Ag (0.01%), 1,000 ppm Cu (1%), Zn (1%) and Pb (1%) were re-run via inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (‘OLMA-OES’).
