Vancouver, British Columbia / September 26, 2025 ‑ TheNewswire – Harvest Gold Corporation (TSXV: HVG,OTC:HVGDF) (‘ Harvest Gold ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) i s pleased to report on the progress of its ongoing drill program at Mosseau, its flagship property in the Urban Barry Belt in Quebec’s Abitibi region.

Rick Mark, CEO of Harvest Gold, commented: ‘The confirmation that the Kiask River Corridor extends southeast into the LaBelle property is an important step forward in our regional exploration model. Combined with the progress of our ongoing drill program, we are steadily advancing our understanding of the gold potential at Mosseau and LaBelle. We look forward to receiving our first batch of assay results next month and continuing to unlock the value of this highly prospective land package.’

DRILLING UPDATE

To date, 11 drill holes have been completed for a total of 2,191 metres. The completed holes targeted the northern portion of the property, where historical prospecting and diamond drilling work suggested strong potential and continuity of the gold mineralization (See Figure 1). Samples are sent to the lab as the logging of each hole is completed and assay results from the initial holes are expected over the next few weeks.

Drilling is now transitioning toward the central part of the property, where additional priority targets have been identified based on recent prospecting, geophysics and soil sampling.

AIRBORNE MAGNETIC SURVEY

We have now received the results of the successful high-resolution magnetic survey covering the southeastern part of the Mosseau and the adjoining LaBelle properties.

The survey results have identified and confirmed the extension of the magnetic domain hosting the Kiask River Corridor to the southeast, extending into the LaBelle property. The Kiask River Corridor can now be traced for 31 km in a northwest – southeast direction, with a width up to 2.3 km. This represents a significant development in the Company’s understanding of the structural and lithological controls on gold mineralization in the area, providing additional high-priority exploration targets for follow-up. (See Figure 2)

Looking ahead, the Company is planning a fall exploration program, which will include soil sampling and prospecting across parts of the Mosseau and LaBelle properties. These activities are designed to build on the recent magnetic survey results and further refine drill targets for future exploration campaigns.

Former FBI Director James Comey has declared himself ‘not afraid’ of President Donald Trump’s Justice Department after being indicted Thursday for allegedly lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding. 

‘My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn’t imagine ourselves living any other way,’ Comey, who denies the allegations, said in an Instagram video. ‘We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either. Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant, and she’s right.’

‘But I’m not afraid,’ Comey added.

Comey was indicted by a grand jury following a probe centered on whether he lied to Congress during his Sept. 30, 2020, testimony about his handling of the original Trump–Russia investigation at the FBI, known inside the bureau as ‘Crossfire Hurricane.’ The indictment also alleges Comey made a false statement when he testified that he did not authorize someone at the FBI to be an anonymous source. According to the indictment, that statement was false.

‘My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system,’ Comey continued. ‘I’m innocent. So let’s have a trial and keep the faith.’

Patrick J. Fitzgerald will represent Comey in the case and said his client denies the charges.

‘Jim Comey denies the charges filed today in their entirety,’ Fitzgerald said in a statement. ‘We look forward to vindicating him in the courtroom.’

WATCH: James Comey indicted, charged with false statement and obstruction of justice

Fitzgerald previously served as special counsel in the Valerie Plame CIA leak probe and as U.S. attorney in Chicago, where he prosecuted former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was convicted in a corruption scandal in 2011.

The indictment marks a stunning legal turn for the man who once led the bureau through the Hillary Clinton email controversy and Russia investigation.

Comey will reportedly turn himself in on Friday, and his arraignment is set for 10 a.m. on Oct. 9 before District Judge Michael S. Nachmanoff, a judge appointed by former President Joe Biden.

FBI Director Kash Patel defended the bureau’s work in the case by praising the career agents and analysts who led the investigation.

‘They called the balls and strikes and will continue to do so,’ Patel said in a statement. He dismissed claims of politicization as ‘wildly false accusations’ and said critics were repeating the same ‘bankrupt’ narratives tied to the Russia investigation.

‘It’s hypocrisy on steroids. Their baseless objections tell us now, more than ever, that we are precisely over the target and will remain on mission until completion,’ Patel said.

President Trump took to Truth Social Friday to celebrate the indictment and declared Comey a ‘dirty cop.’

‘Whether you like Corrupt James Comey or not, and I can’t imagine too many people liking him, HE LIED!’ Trump wrote. ‘It is not a complex lie, it’s a very simple, but IMPORTANT one. There is no way he can explain his way out of it.’

Trump said Comey got ‘unexpectedly caught’ but is off to a good start with the case being assigned to a Biden-appointed judge. 

‘He knew exactly what he was saying, and that it was a very serious and far-reaching lie for which a very big price must be paid!’ Trump wrote. 

The indictment alleges that Comey obstructed a congressional investigation into the disclosure of sensitive information in violation of 18 USC 1505.

Fox News Digital also exclusively reported that former CIA Director John Brennan is under criminal investigation related to the Trump–Russia probe. 

Under federal law, prosecutors have five years to bring a charge, with the five-year mark occurring Tuesday.

The case is being handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia.

WASHINGTON — Americans are more likely to watch newly released movies from the comfort of their own homes instead of heading out to a theater, according to a new poll.

About three-quarters of U.S. adults said they watched a new movie on streaming instead of in the theater at least once in the past year, according to the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, including about 3 in 10 who watched new movies on streaming at least once a month.

Meanwhile, about two-thirds of Americans said that they’ve watched a recently released movie in a theater in the past year, and only 16% said they went at least once a month.

The results suggest that, on the whole, American moviegoers are more likely to stream a film than see it in the theaters, a shifting tide that was only accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. Convenience and cost are both factors for many people who can’t find the time to go to a theater or pay the increasingly high price for a ticket.

Sherry Jenkins, 69, of New Jersey, turns to streaming for all of her moviegoing needs.

“It’s much more convenient,” Jenkins said. “I can watch anything I want, I just have to wait a month or two after the movies are released because they usually go to streaming pretty quickly.”

In the post-pandemic era, films end up on streaming services more quickly. In 2017, a 90-day exclusive theatrical window was common. Now, theaters are fighting for an industrywide standard of 45 days. For studios, the strategy seems to be different for every movie. This year’s best picture winner, “Anora,” had a 70-day exclusive theatrical window. “Wicked,” meanwhile, was available to purchase on demand only 40 days after opening in theaters — and that was a case in which the film was, and continued to be, a box-office hit. It was also profitable on streaming.

There is some overlap between theatergoers and people who opt for streaming — 55% of U.S. adults have seen a new movie in a theater and skipped the theater in favor of streaming at least once in the past year — but only watching new movies on streaming is more common than only going to the theater.

Some in the film industry believe that movies that start in theaters still have more cultural cachet, but Jenkins doesn’t see it that way.

“The studios now are so closely affiliated with the streaming services,” Jenkins said. “There’s really no logic behind why some skip the theaters.”

The last time she regularly went to the movie theaters was, she thinks, about 20 years ago. But as a tech-savvy retiree, there just hasn’t been enough of a reason to make the trek to the theater. A subscriber to Acorn, BritBox, Paramount+, Peacock, Netflix and Hulu, Jenkins doesn’t even see the need for cable anymore.

“People tell me, ‘Oh, you have to go to the theaters and see ‘Top Gun: Maverick,’ ” Jenkins said. “But my TV is 75 inches, and I’m comfortable. I’m at home.”

Maryneal Jones, 91, of North Carolina, said she likes to go to the movies but finds them too expensive.

“There’s some movies I would like to see, and I say to myself, I’ll just wait until they show them on TV or I’ll go visit a friend who has those apps,” Jones said. “But I just don’t want to pay 12 bucks.”

The average cost of a movie ticket in the U.S. is $13.17, according to data firm EntTelligence. In 2022, it was $11.76.

Jones does not subscribe to any streaming services, but she also sees more movies in theaters than many others. She estimates she sees about six to eight a year. Recent films she’s watched in the theater include “The Life of Chuck” and the French romantic comedy “Jane Austen Wrecked My Life.”

The AP-NORC poll also indicates that streaming may be a more accessible option for lower-income Americans. Higher-income adults are more likely than low-income adults to be at least occasional moviegoers for new releases, but the gap is smaller for watching movies on streaming instead of going to the theater.

New movies are more popular among young adults, regardless of how they see them. But streaming is more of a go-to for the younger generation.

Slightly less than half of adults under age 30 say they watched a recently released movie on streaming instead of going to the theater at least once a month in the past year, compared with about 2 in 10 who watched a movie in the theater with that frequency.

Eddie Lin, an 18-year-old student in Texas, said he mostly watches movies at home, on streamers like Crunchyroll, Hulu, HBO Max and Prime Video, but will go to the theaters for “bigger things” like “A Minecraft Movie,” which is the biggest movie of the year in North America.

“A couple of my friends wanted to see it,” Lin said. “And there were the memes. I felt like the audience would be more interactive and it would be enhanced by being there with, like, a bunch of people.”

While streaming will continue to be formidable competition for audience attention and dollars, there has also been rising interest in the value of seeing certain films in IMAX or on other premium format screens, whether it’s “Sinners” or “Oppenheimer.”

The North American box office is currently up more than 4% from last year, but the industry has struggled to reach pre-pandemic levels of business. Compared with 2019, the annual box office is down more than 22%.

“I used to go more when I was younger, with my family, seeing all the Marvel movies up to ‘Endgame,’ “ Lin said. “I like movie theaters. It’s an experience. For me, it’s mostly a time thing. But I do feel like a certain charm of watching movies in theaters is gone.”

It can be tempting for investors to focus on specific assets or strategies when building an investment portfolio, but those taking a long-term approach will want to diversify in order to balance out potential portfolio instability.

Gold has a reputation for being a reliable diversifier because it can act as a hedge against various risks.

For those unfamiliar with the term, put simply, a hedge is an investment position whose main purpose is to offset potential losses or gains related to another asset. But how does that work, and what’s the best way to get exposure to gold as a hedge?

Read on for a look at how this strategy works and why it’s worth considering.

In this article

    Why use gold investments as a hedge?

    Gold is looked at as a hedge investment in many different situations. The first and most popular use of gold as a source of protection is as a hedge against the decline of a currency, typically the US dollar. When the dollar slips, the yellow metal not only becomes less expensive to hold, but also tends to rise in value.

    “Gold’s relationship with the dollar is determined by US-based gold supply and demand, as well as by the status of the dollar as the reserve currency globally,” states the World Gold Council. “Historically, a weak dollar tends to provide a stronger boost to gold’s performance than the drag created by a strong dollar.”

    By holding the precious metal as a diversification tool when the economy negatively affects currencies, investors can incur gains from the metal’s increased value.

    The second reason why gold makes a good hedge is that it can act as a defense against inflation. When the cost of living begins to rise, the stock market often falls. In those cases, investors with assets that are negatively affected by a volatile market need something to balance that out — that’s where gold comes in.

    Over the past 50 years, investors have seen gold make huge gains when the stock market is crumbling. As Investopedia points out, “This is because, when fiat currency loses its purchasing power to inflation, gold tends to be priced in those currency units and thus tends to arise along with everything else.”

    Interestingly, the yellow metal has also been used as a hedge against deflation, which happens when prices drop, the economy is in a downturn and excessive debt looms. This situation has not occurred since the Great Depression of the 1930s, and to a much smaller degree after the 2008 financial crisis.

    Market participants may decide to hoard cash in this type of scenario, and the safest place to hold cash is in gold. Again, while this situation is not commonplace, many investors keep the yellow metal in their portfolios on the off chance that another massive period of deflation will take place.

    Finally, gold can be used as a general portfolio hedge when market participants hold investments that are not related to one another. Since the precious metal generally has a negative correlation to stocks, bonds and other financial instruments, investors often diversify by creating a portfolio that combines gold with stocks and bonds in order to reduce both volatility and risk.

    While it is true that the yellow metal goes through times of volatility, it has always maintained its value over the long term, making it a steady addition to investors’ portfolios.

    Those who have decided to add gold to their portfolio as a hedge have a variety of options. Here’s an overview of three of the most popular ways of getting exposure to gold.

    1. How to use physical gold as a hedge

    Investors can get the most direct exposure to gold by buying physical gold, and holding the physical metal also adds diversification from digital assets. Physical gold can be purchased through government mints, private mints, precious metals dealers and even jewelry stores.

    Physical gold investors should generally focus on 0.999 fine items, as these will also be the easiest to sell. The majority of gold bullion products fit this description.

    One of the most common choices for investors are gold bullion coins, such as the South African Krugerrand or the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, which are 0.999 fine. The American Gold Eagle is reputable and popular as well, but has a lower purity at 91.67 percent. Another option is gold rounds, which are similar to coins, but are not legal tender, making them often slightly cheaper.

    Gold bars are another popular option, and because they come in a variety of sizes, they can accommodate a range of investors. Large investments may best be made in bars since bigger sizes are available. Further, it is often easier to manage several large products than it is to manage an array of smaller gold items.

    When deciding on what to purchase, gold buyers will want to keep their plans for selling in mind. For example, large products may be more difficult and thus slower to sell, meaning it could be harder to take advantage of gold price movements or convert it to cash in an emergency. Individuals making ongoing or significant investments may therefore want to consider purchasing gold in various weights to give them versatility.

    2. How to use gold ETFs as a hedge

    One of the common ways investors add gold as a hedge is through investing in a gold exchange-traded fund (ETF), which trade on a stock exchange just like equities. There are several kinds of gold ETFs, offering exposure to different aspects of the gold market. Gold ETFs can offer investors access to gold price movements by holding physical gold or the gold futures market through holding futures contracts. There are also gold ETFs focused on gold mining stocks, providing a more stable alternative to investing in individual gold stocks.

    It is important to keep in mind that investors who own gold ETFs do not own any physical gold — even gold ETFs that track physical gold generally cannot be redeemed for it, with the exception of the Vaneck Merk Gold ETF (ARCA:OUNZ). Nonetheless, gold ETFs are a good option for getting exposure to the precious metal without personally trading physical gold, gold futures or gold stocks.

    3. How to use gold futures as a hedge

    A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell gold on a date in the future for a price determined when the contract is initiated. In a gold futures transaction, two parties agree on a price, the amount of gold being purchased and the future delivery month.

    The futures market is often referred to as an arena for paper trading. The bulk of the activity is just that, as metal is not actually exchanged and settlements are made in cash. It allows investors to buy or sell gold as they want without management fees, and taxes are split between short-term and long-term capital gains.

    In some cases, the futures market can be an arena for purchasing physical gold. However, obtaining gold through the futures market requires a large investment and involves a list of additional costs. The process can be complicated, cumbersome and lengthy, which is why actually buying physical gold through futures is considered best for highly experienced market participants.

    Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, was among a select group of Democrats who then-Vice President Kamala Harris sought to bolster via a top secret ‘Stars Project,’ the 2024 White House hopeful’s new memoir reveals.

    Harris dove deep into her brief presidential campaign in a new book released on Tuesday called ‘107 Days,’ with the title referencing the time between the beginning and end of her 2024 bid.

    In one section, Harris discussed planning the Democratic National Convention (DNC) and said it was ‘in the party’s interest to highlight our stars, while we make it as entertaining as possible.’

    ‘When I became VP, I had a secret project – I called it the Stars Project – that only my senior team knew about. We’d brainstorm about the younger talents in the party and then, on Friday afternoons, I’d invite one or another to visit my office in the West Wing or the residence,’ Harris wrote.

    Several were nervous, she recounted, but Harris recalled telling them, ‘No, I think you’re very talented. What are you working on, and how can I help you?’

    ‘Many of those on my list spoke at the convention: Lauren Underwood, Robert Garcia, Angela Alsobrooks, Lateefah Simon, Maxwell Frost, Joe Neguse, Lina Hidalgo, Jasmine Crockett,’ Harris listed.

    Crockett, who has received backlash from conservatives for comparing ICE to ‘slave patrols’ and supporting defunding police, appeared to reference the passage in content she cross-posted on her personal Instagram account.

    The post was from a Texas politics-based account called ‘howdypolitics’ that shared, ‘Kamala Harris had a secret project only known to senior staff called the ‘Stars Project,’ to privately mentor rising stars in the party. She made sure that many of them received speaking slots during the convention. That is what Jasmine Crockett was talking about in her speech at the DNC.’

    Crockett did reference a meeting with Harris in her speech at the DNC in summer 2024.

    ‘When I first got to Congress, I wasn’t sure I made the right decision. The chaos caucus couldn’t elect a speaker and the Oversight Committee was unhinged. I was going through all of this when I visited the vice president’s residence for the first time. As I approached Vice President Harris for our official photo, she turned to me and asked, ‘What’s wrong?’’ Crockett recalled.

    ‘Mind you, we’d never met. But she saw right through me. She saw the distress. I immediately began crying, and the most powerful woman in the world wiped my tears and listened.’

    She said Harris told her, ‘You are exactly where God wants you. Your district chose you because they believe in you. And so do I.’

    ‘The next month I went viral for the first of many times to come for hitting Republicans with a dose of their own medicine. That brief but impactful interaction gave me my legislative legs and I’ve been running ever since,’ Crockett said.

    Crockett recently ignited backlash from conservatives after slamming White lawmakers for honoring Charlie Kirk after his assassination.

    ‘And to be clear, you can wave all the flags you want to, but I am telling you right now that the most unpatriotic people that we have in this country are MAGA and this president. We are the real patriots. And it is time for us to take our flag back and show people what America is about,’ she said.

    Fox News Digital reached out to Crockett for further comment on Harris’ book excerpt and her speech at the DNC.

    (TheNewswire)

    Vancouver, British Columbia, September 24th, 2025 TheNewswire – Prismo Metals Inc. (the ‘ Company ‘) (CSE: PRIZ,OTC:PMOMF) (OTCQB: PMOMF) is pleased to report that it has received preliminary assay results for the first batch of twenty-three samples taken at its Silver King project located in Arizona. This assay data highlights the different types of mineralization identified in the Company’s news releases of August 28 th and September 15 th 2025 (Figure 1).

    ‘These assay results confirm the exploration potential at the Silver King project,’ said Dr. Craig Gibson, Chief Exploration Officer. ‘Three samples with silver values reported as greater than 200 g/t were taken from the Silver King mine dump and from the new polymetallic vein recognized in our recent exploration program. Samples with high copper values, that also exhibit important gold values, are largely from the replacement mineralization which is similar to the type of mineralization at the nearby Magma mine.’

    Several of the samples have reported values that are greater than the detection limit for the analytical method used. The analytical laboratory must re-analyze these samples by a different method, and the Company is expecting to receive these overlimit assays for silver, copper, lead and zinc within about two weeks. Upon receipt of the over limit assays Prismo will issue a further news release and use this information to help prioritize targets for the further exploration, including the upcoming drilling program. Additional samples, including samples from the Ripsey Mine are currently being analyzed and results are expected in the coming weeks.

    ‘Much of the focus of the exploration program to date has consisted of a property wide survey of historic mines and prospects surrounding the direct Silver King workings,’ said Gordon Aldcorn, President of Prismo’. This work has expanded our geological thinking and resulted in the recognition of several new types of mineralization at the project, providing additional targets for exploration. We are presenting the assay results for each of the exploration areas, namely the new mineralized veins (polymetallic and copper), stratigraphically controlled replacement mineralization and the area around the Silver Mine. Each of the areas will be prioritized for further exploration, including drilling.   The initial phase of Prismo exploration on the Silver King project confirmed the exploration potential in several areas. Our upcoming drill program is currently in the permitting stage and is anticipated to be advanced shortly.

    Figure 1 . Geologic and land map of the Silver King project showing newly described polymetallic vein in magenta (Ag-Pb-Zn), copper vein in green (Cu-Ag) and stratigraphically controlled replacement mineralization in red.  The strongly altered intrusion with stock work quartz-pyrite veining is indicated by the crosshatch.

    New Mineralized Veins (polymetallic and copper veins)

    As previously reported in Prismo s news release of August 28, 2025, the Company geologists identified two previously undescribed veins in the area surrounding the historic glory hole developed on the original exposure of high-grade silver at the Silver King deposit.  The assay results confirm the visual inspection and indicate that there are two distinct veins, one with abundant silver, lead and zinc and the other with copper and silver values.

    These veins provide additional exploration targets outside of the area of historic mine workings and may provide information on the controls to mineralization in the pipelike mineralized body.

    Stratigraphically Controlled Replacement Mineralization

    Several samples were taken along the stratigraphic horizon that hosts replacement and skarn mineralization in numerous small workings. Several samples assayed more than 1% copper and generally contain elevated gold values.

    Figure 2. Copper assays for samples taken at the Silver King project.

    The m ineralization in this area is similar to that at the Magma mine. It is exposed in several historic mine workings with abundant oxide copper minerals, mainly malachite . These were developed along a northeast dipping limestone horizon near the contact with a quartz diorite intrusion and quartzite . It is located along the same structural and stratigraphic trend of the Magma mine located 0.6 to 1.5 kilometers to the southwest. The largest occurrence, at the Black Diamond mine in the eastern portion of the claim block, was developed on a large outcrop of abundant specular hematite and malachite replacing a limestone bed (Fig. 2) .

    Around The Silver King Mine

    Two samples were taken of mineralized fragments from the dump around the Silver King workings.  Samples 544514 is composed of selected fragments of quartz vein material with variable amounts of sulfide minerals including stromeyerite (AgCuS), freibergite (CuAgSbS) and base metal sulfides.  Sample 544517 is composed of stockwork veins and breccia with about 50% wall rock fragments.  These two compositions are believed to represent the dominant types of mineralization that will be encountered in and adjacent to the pipelike Silver King mineralized body.

    Exploration Next Steps

    Prismo has submitted a plan of operations for the drill program with the Forest Service. The drill permit is expected by the end of October. A drill program is planned for Silver King, with a minimum of 1,000 meters initially. This first phase of the drill program is designed to test the upper half of the steeply dipping pipelike Silver King mineralized body as well as potentially mineralization adjacent to the dense stockwork that was the focus of historic mining.  Follow up drilling will expand on the initial program based on the results and also include separate targets outside of the historic mining area, such as the polymetallic vein mentioned above. The discovery of the two mineralized veins and porphyry style mineralization has resulted in Prismo evaluating a larger drill program to test those targets.

    QA/QC

    Samples were analyzed by SGS, an internationally recognized analytical lab, with preparation at the Tempe, Arizona facility and analyses at the Burnaby laboratory.  Prismo inserts controls samples consisting of standard pulps and coarse blanks in the sample stream for QA/QC purposes and also utilizes the labs internal control samples.

    Qualified Person

    Dr. Craig Gibson, PhD., CPG., a Qualified Person as defined by NI-43-01 regulations and Chief Exploration Officer and a director of the Company, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosures in this news release. The historic data presented in this press release was obtained from public sources, should be considered incomplete and is not qualified under NI 43-101, but is believed to be accurate. The Company has not verified the historical data presented and it cannot be relied upon, and it is being used solely to aid in exploration plans. References to mineralization at the Magma Mine and Resolution Copper deposit is not necessarily indicative to the mineralization on the Silver King property.

    About the Silver King

    Discovered in 1875, the Silver King mine was one of Arizona s most important historic producers, yielding nearly 6 million ounces of silver at grades of up to 61 oz/t.  The Silver King mine sits only 3 km from the main shaft of the Resolution Copper project — a joint venture between Rio Tinto and BHP and one of the world s largest unmined copper deposits with an estimated copper resource of 1.787 billion metric tonnes at an average grade of 1.5% copper (1) . The unique land position is fully surrounded by Resolution Copper s claim block, offering strategic upside. Selected samples from small-scale production in the late 1990s returned grades as high as 644 oz/t silver (18,250 g/t) and 0.53 oz/t gold (15 g/t), indicating that high-grade mineralization remains.

    This post appeared first on investingnews.com

    When President Donald Trump took the stage at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), the teleprompter didn’t work. But no matter — he was about to deliver a series of points he knew well, and one that shattered the typical U.N. script.

    At times, world leaders shifted uncomfortably in their seats, particularly when he charged that the U.N. had failed to help the U.S. end wars and joked that all he ever got from the institution was being stuck on an escalator and a broken teleprompter. Yet in his trademark style, Trump also drew laughter from the room, managing to be both affable and scolding at the same time.

    ‘What is the purpose of the United Nations?’ Trump asked, after recounting how he — not the U.N. — had ended seven wars. 

    From there, he launched into a wide-ranging address that touched on every one of the U.N.’s modern priorities — climate change, Ukraine, refugee resettlement and Palestinian statehood—and rejected each of them outright, unsettling many in attendance.

    Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže told Fox News Digital world leaders took note of Trump’s blunt style and sweeping agenda. She emphasized that his remarks spanned ‘a whole set of international issues,’ from Ukraine to Gaza. She highlighted his criticism of Russia, saying it was clear he wanted the war to end and was openly disappointed in President Vladimir Putin.

    Former U.S. diplomat Hugh Dugan noted that while Trump hammered the U.N., he did not press the case for reform as forcefully as expected. 

    ‘As for U.N. reform and criticizing and guiding it through financial crises and endemic dysfunctionality, surprisingly he left a vacuum instead of a narrative,’ Dugan said. ‘He neither validated nor criticized the U.N. as expected, except pointing out the obvious views of its administrative and diplomatic passivity shared widely.’

    Climate change

    For the U.N., climate change is an existential threat requiring global action. Trump mocked the entire concept as ‘the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world,’ deriding green energy as ‘all bankrupt’ and declaring the carbon footprint ‘a hoax.’ Dismissing decades of climate change work at the U.N., he said: ‘No more global warming, no more global cooling, whatever the hell happens, it’s climate change.’

    Braže noted that European nations still see the U.N. as the central forum for tackling global problems, even if reforms are overdue. ‘We might differ in our opinion where we still think the U.N. is a valuable organization and the U.N. charter is a basis of [the] international system,’ she said, adding: ‘Of course it needs change… stepping up efficiencies.’

    Ukraine

    Trump and the international body are largely aligned on wanting the war in Ukraine to come to an end, but Trump criticized its European members sharply for continued reliance on Russian oil.

    Trump argued the war ‘would never have started if I were president’ and accused NATO allies of hypocrisy and said some NATO allies were ‘funding the war against themselves’ by buying Russian oil.

    ‘They’re buying oil and gas from Russia while they’re fighting Russia. It’s embarrassing to them… they have to immediately, immediately cease all energy purchases from Russia.’

    He threatened tariffs unless Europe cut off energy purchases from Moscow, but blamed India and China as the ‘primary funders of the war’ through Russian fuel purchases. The president also once again promised a ‘very strong round of powerful tariffs’ if Russia refuses peace.

    Braže said Latvia welcomed Trump’s commitment to ending the war, even as she underscored Europe’s reliance on the U.N. system. ‘He also explained, of course, his efforts to achieve peace in various regions which we welcome,’ she said.

    Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna echoed Trump’s point that Russia’s war effort is not unstoppable. ‘As for the president’s speech, it was good to hear that Trump is dedicated to peace in Ukraine, and he also hinted that Russia is defeatable. We believe that as well,’ Tsahkna said. ‘Estonia has long said that Russia’s energy exports are its main source of revenue, and the engine behind its war in Ukraine. That’s why we must do more to cut off this funding.’

    Migration

    Where the U.N. sees migration as a shared humanitarian challenge, Trump painted it as an ‘invasion.’ He accused the U.N. of bankrolling illegal immigration into the U.S., citing U.N. cash and food assistance for migrants, and warned that uncontrolled migration was ‘ruining’ Europe.

    ‘The U.N. is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them,’ Trump said. ‘Your countries are being ruined. Europe is in serious trouble. They’ve been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody’s ever seen before.’

    He claimed migrants in London want to impose ‘Sharia law.’

    ‘I look at London where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor. And it’s been so changed, so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia law, but you’re in a different country. You can’t do that.’

    Braže said the Baltic States share skepticism about uncontrolled migration, rooted in their history under Soviet rule. ‘In some European countries, political correctness overcame the need to limit immigration. For us in the Baltics, immigration has always been something that we are quite skeptical about,’ she said. ‘That is due to the fact when the Soviet Union occupied us for 50 years we were not able to define our own rules… so today we are very clear that our borders are our borders, we control them.’

    Palestinian statehood

    While the U.N. pushes for recognition of Palestinian statehood as part of a two-state solution, Trump blasted such efforts as ‘a reward for Hamas.’ He argued it would encourage terrorism and instead demanded the immediate release of Israeli hostages — and made calls for peace. 

    Dugan said the White House calculated carefully how to handle the Palestinian issue. ‘He denied added publicity for the Palestinian statehood matter, while robbing his critics of a snarky quotable they depend upon. His team would say that they opted not to throw more gas on that fire, I suppose.’

    ‘We have to stop the war in Gaza immediately. We have to immediately negotiate peace,’ Trump said.

    But French President Emmanuel Macron said that if Trump really wants peace, he has to put pressure on Israel to end the war. 

    ‘There is one person who can do something about it, and that is the U.S. president. And the reason he can do more than us, is because we do not supply weapons that allow the war in Gaza to be waged. We do not supply equipment that allows war to be waged in Gaza. The United States of America does,’ Macron told France’s BFM TV after the speech. 

    Macron went on: ‘I see an American president who is involved, who reiterated this morning from the podium: ‘I want peace. I have resolved seven conflicts’, who wants the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel Peace Prize is only possible if you stop this conflict.’

    Behnam Taleblu of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies said Trump’s handling of Iran, where the president touted the U.S.’s offensive strikes on Iran’s nuclear program, in particular stood out. ‘The calmness and even casualness with which President Trump spoke about the elimination of the Islamic Republic’s military leaders at the UNGA today shows an understanding and willingness to embrace America’s superpower status against its adversaries not often seen,’ Taleblu said.

    The broader UN message

    Beyond individual issues, Trump’s message was that the U.N. itself was failing. He ridiculed its reliance on ‘strongly worded letters’ and its expensive renovation projects, portraying the body as corrupt and ineffective.

    ‘I’ve attended UNGA a few times. Never have I heard a speech like this. Trump was right on one thing: the UN is paralyzed,’ Tobias Ellwood, a former British member of Parliament, shared on X. But he warned major conflict is ‘likely to follow’ if the UN dissolves like the League of Nations did.

    But Dugan suggested Trump stopped short of offering a roadmap. ‘He went to tier-2 topics (immigration and green energy) because they are tier-1 with MAGA,’ he said. ‘Given the teleprompter and the escalator, he seems resigned to the fact that the place is not teachable when it comes to organization turnaround — certainly not while [Secretary General Antonio] Guterres continues.’

    Trump launched a review of the U.N. six months ago, and Dugan said he’d hoped to hear more about its findings in the speech. It’s ‘not evident’ that the review was ‘deep, good or even completed.’ 

    Looking ahead, Dugan warned that Trump’s silence on deeper U.N. reform left space for rivals. ‘Next: let’s see if China is editing its speech now to swoop down to fill the missing narrative vacuum,’ he said.

    Behnam Taleblu of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies said Trump was also making a point about the U.N.’s lack of engagement. ‘The President also foot-stomped the fact that he has received relative silence from the U.N. system and its leaders in the face of numerous ceasefires and deconfliction agreements he helped broker in warzones around the world. For an organization aimed at stemming or resolving conflict, the silence is deafening.’

    VANCOUVER, BC TheNewswire – September 23, 2025 Heritage Mining Ltd. (CSE: HML FRA: Y66) (‘ Heritage ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) is pleased to announce further to the press release on July 22, 2025 has executed the asset purchase agreement with Advanced Gold Exploration Inc. to acquire a 75% interest in the Melba Mine (a former past producer from early-mid 1900’s) formalizing the Company’s entrance into the Kirkland Lake Gold District.

    Melba Acquisition Highlights

      • In 1936, Melba Gold Mines Limited drilled 20 diamond holes that intersected the Blue Vein with visible gold reported in 10 of the first 18 holes (Assessment Diamond Drilling Report, May 15, 2023).

      • In 1939, The Teck-Hughes Mines Limited channeled and took a 4-ton bulk sample over 60 feet on the Blue Vein. The channel sample gave 10.327 ounces gold per ton over 4.5 feet and the bulk sample gave 0.210 ounces gold per ton (Assessment Diamond Drilling Report, May 15, 2023).

      • 2,000 tonnes of ‘mined material’ from underground workings that are on surface and with a complementing mining lease (Assessment Diamond Drilling Report, May 15, 2023).

    ‘The Melba Mine acquisition offers the Company exposure to the well-known mining camp (Kirkland Lake and Timmins). We would like to thank the Vendor, Advanced Gold Exploration Inc., for amending the terms of the agreement, specifically less dilution in near term. We look forward to communicating next steps in short order.’ Commented Peter Schloo, President CEO, and Director of Heritage

    Melba Asset Purchase Agreement Summary:

    Purchase Price

    1. The consideration payable by Heritage to the Vendor for the 75% ownership interest in the Melba Mine shall be C$40,000 payable in cash to the Vendor for technical services over an 8 month period payable in equal C$5,000 monthly instalments, with the first instalment payable on the Closing Date (the ‘Cash Consideration’). Heritage also agrees to pay the Vendor the Consideration Shares (as defined below)(the Cash Consideration and the Consideration Shares collectively being the ‘Purchase Price’).

    Closing of the acquisition is subject to customary conditions precedent for a transaction of this nature, including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange.

    Melba Mine Property Description

    The Melba Mine is located in Northwestern, Ontario, Canada Southwest of Matheson Ontario (Figure One) approximately seven kilometres west off the King’s Highway 11, on the section of highway travelling from Kirkland Lake to Cochrane. The Melba Mine is located on the west central part of Ontario close to the Ontario and Quebec border. It’s fortunate the location of the Melba Property lies within the central hub of over 100 years of mining activities, including active mining operations within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.

    The claim package includes single cell mining claims spanning 1,522.70 hectares and one mining lease.

    Property Geology

    The governing element of structure appears to be a contact between dioritic greenstone to the south and argillaceous greywacke to the north. The contact trends north 50-60 degrees west and dips northward. Whether the greywacke is part of a synclinal trough of sediments that are younger than the greenstone or whether it is part of a sedimentary band belonging to the greenstone series is an unknown factor at present. The greywacke is cut by dikes of porphyry that run parallel to the contact. The main gold bearing vein, usually described as the ‘Blue Vein’, also runs parallel to the contact but lies within the sediments. It strikes north 55 degrees west and dips northward 55 degrees. It is accompanied by shearing and alteration, also by a pattern of cross fracturing that has produced faulting in the main vein and has led to the development of irregular veins in the adjacent rocks. The main vein is displaced 60 feet (18.2 metres) northward near the shaft and other displacements have been found underground. The picture resembles that of the sedimentary belt in the Beatty-Munro area. Numerous feldspar porphyry, diorite and basic syenite dikes were intersected by the drilling. Overall, a significant amount of the drill core showed alteration, some highly, while carbonate stringers were numerous and visible gold was noted in drill core.

    Jurors in Fort Pierce, Florida, are expected to begin deliberations Tuesday on the federal criminal charges brought against Ryan Routh, the man accused of attempting to assassinate then-presidential candidate Donald Trump at his golf course in Florida last year.

    Routh, who has been representing himself in the federal criminal trial, ended his defense after less than a day on Monday. He called only three witnesses, and told U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon that he would not be taking the stand to testify in his own case, a notion he had previously considered. 

    Both the prosecution and defense formally rested their cases at 2:20 p.m., and Cannon ordered the court to reconvene for closing arguments Tuesday at 9 a.m.

    Prosecutors and Routh will take turns presenting their closing arguments to jurors, followed immediately by jury deliberations, Cannon said, before instructing the jury on the deliberation process.

    Cannon instructed jurors to consider whether prosecutors met the standard for conviction on each of the five federal charges against Routh. The 59-year-old has pleaded not guilty to all counts, which include attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and multiple firearms offenses.

    A verdict in the case could come as early as Tuesday or Wednesday, pending the length of the closing arguments and the deliberation time needed. If convicted, Routh could face a maximum of life in prison.

    The closing arguments come after Routh rested his case after just hours of presenting arguments to jurors. He called only three witnesses, and did not introduce new evidence.

    His ‘pro se’ defense starkly contrasts with the prosecution’s, which spent nearly two weeks carefully and extemporaneously making its case against Routh to a jury in Fort Pierce, Florida.

    In that span, jurors heard from 38 witnesses and reviewed hundreds of exhibits — text messages, call logs, bank records, and cellphone data — linking Routh to the alleged gun purchase and placing him near Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach in the weeks before the alleged attempted assassination.

    Shortly before the defense rested, Cannon asked Routh if he had any more motions for acquittal. He said he did not.
