Issued on behalf of Lake Victoria Gold Ltd.

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 5, 2026 /CNW/ -- USA News Group News Commentary – The smart money is moving fast. Emerging market operations captured over 30% of top-performing gold stocks^[1] in 2025, signaling a massive structural realignment toward jurisdictions offering true permitting velocity. This rotation places Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF), Galiano Gold (NYSE-A: GAU) (TSX: GAU), Omai Gold Mines (TSXV: OMG) (OTCQV: OMGGF), Aris Mining (NYSE-A: ARMN) (TSX: ARIS), and K92 Mining (TSX: KNT) (OTCQB: KNTNF) directly at the intersection of institutional demand and production velocity.

The supply/demand math is undeniable. Central banks purchased a record 863 tonnes of gold in 2025^[2], draining global inventory just as analysts project prices could reach $5,000 per ounce in 2026^[3]. Crucially, this demand hits a hard wall: global mine production has plateaued near 3,672 tonnes in 2025^[2]. This supply constraint creates an immediate valuation premium for high-grade developers capable of near-term execution.

Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF) just completed drilling and received all analytical results from its recent program at the Imwelo Gold Project in Tanzania, confirming mineralization extends well beyond the current pit design at Area C. The results strengthen confidence in the geological model and represent a step toward final pit optimization and development planning as the company advances toward construction readiness.

Twenty-one holes were completed, with highlights including 11.88 g/t gold over 1.33 meters from 169.75 meters depth, 9.31 g/t over 2.45 meters from 130 meters, and 6.96 g/t over 2.56 meters from 132.80 meters. The drilling accomplished several objectives at once: it confirmed mineralization continues down-dip beneath the planned pit, it identified new zones to the east and west of the current design, and it delivered geotechnical data needed to finalize pit shell optimization.

"These results further validate Imwelo as a near-term production asset," said Marc Cernovitch, President and CEO of LVG. "We have now demonstrated continuity of mineralization beyond the current pit design, both at depth and laterally, which strengthens confidence in the geological model underpinning our development plans."

The technical picture is tightening. Mineralization now shows geological continuity to over 250 meters vertical depth, compared to the historical resource limit of roughly 200 meters. The average vertical intersection depth from this program was approximately 120 meters, more than double the historical drilling depth of around 50 meters. That gives the company information below previously modeled limits and supports potential resource conversion from Inferred to Indicated classification.

Two dedicated geotechnical drill holes were completed, providing oriented core for detailed logging and rock mass characterization. The resulting data will support refinement of slope angles, wall support requirements, and ramp geometry, completing the in-pit geotechnical dataset required for final pit shell optimization.

It should be also noted that Atrium Research recently re-initiated coverage on Lake Victoria Gold with a BUY rating and a target price of $0.50 per share, citing the company's path to production at Imwelo and strategic partnerships that could provide cash through milestone payments and exploration success.

Imwelo sits just 12 kilometers from AngloGold Ashanti's Geita Mine and is fully permitted for mine construction and production. The company previously completed geotechnical studies that support consolidating Area C into a single continuous open pit. Meanwhile, the Tembo Project delivered surface grades up to 35.45 g/t gold from artisanal mining sites.

With drilling complete and analytical results received, Lake Victoria Gold is moving methodically from definition toward execution.

In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:

Galiano Gold (NYSE-A: GAU) (TSX: GAU) expands its high-grade footprint at Abore with multiple intercepts in latest drilling including 14.2 grams per tonne gold over 15 meters and 4.7 grams per tonne gold over 24 meters at the Asanko Gold Mine in Ghana. Step out drilling confirms new high-grade mineralization up to 200 meters below previous holes, demonstrating the robustness of Abore's underground potential with results to be included in the maiden Abore underground Mineral Resource estimate expected in February 2026.

"These latest results conclude an extremely successful year of discovery at Abore in 2025 that has seen the deposit emerge as a key growth target for the AGM," said Chris Pettman, Vice President of Exploration of Galiano Gold. "This latest phase of drilling highlights that the Abore mineralizing system is much larger than previously believed and remains open as we continue to step out and intersect mineralization at depth."

An aggressive program of 30,000 meters of drilling is planned at Abore in 2026 with drilling already underway using four rigs currently active. Galiano Gold has approved an initial 2026 exploration budget of $17 million focused on delivering near term value through Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve growth within the brownfields space while simultaneously continuing to advance the greenfields generative portfolio.

Omai Gold Mines (TSXV: OMG) (OTCQV: OMGGF) has engaged SLR Consulting to complete an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment for its 100% owned Omai Gold Project in Guyana, South America. The anticipated PEA will incorporate the much expanded Wenot open pit deposit together with the immediately adjacent Gilt Creek underground deposit.

"These next steps will provide all stakeholders with a better understanding of the size and value potential of the Omai Project," said Elaine Ellingham, President and CEO of Omai Gold. "We anticipate that this upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment will be transformational and will illuminate the pathway to development."

The updated Mineral Resource Estimate is expected in Q1 2026, to be followed by the PEA in Q2 2026. In August 2025, Omai Gold Mines announced a 96% increase to the Wenot Gold Deposit resource to 970,000 ounces of gold Indicated averaging 1.46 grams per tonne and 3,717,000 ounces Inferred averaging 1.82 grams per tonne, bringing the global resource at Omai to 2,121,000 ounces Indicated and 4,382,000 ounces Inferred.

Aris Mining (NYSE-A: ARMN) (TSX: ARIS) delivered strong 2025 gold production of 256,503 ounces, exceeding the guidance midpoint and representing a 22% increase over 2024 production of 210,995 ounces. Fourth quarter production of 69,852 ounces capped off a year of strong operational execution driven by the expanded Segovia mill and above-guidance performance at Marmato.

"2025 was a pivotal year for Aris Mining," commented Neil Woodyer, CEO of Aris. "The successful expansion and on-going ramp-up at Segovia drove 26% production growth in the second half of the year, while Marmato delivered steady, above-guidance results as underground development progressed and construction of the new CIP plant and related infrastructure advanced on schedule."

Looking ahead to 2026, Aris Mining expects consolidated production of 300,000 to 350,000 ounces, supported by continued ramp-up at Segovia and increasing production from Marmato from Q4 2026 onwards. The company maintains a cash balance of over $390 million and exited 2025 with strong momentum and a clear growth pipeline.

K92 Mining (TSX: KNT) (OTCQB: KNTNF) announced 2026 operational guidance forecasting production of 190,000 to 225,000 ounces gold equivalent, a significant increase from the record 2025 production of 174,134 ounces. Production is expected to be strongest in H2 2026, driven by progressive ramp-up in ore tonnes mined and processed from two new mining fronts.

"Building on our record operational performance in 2025, including the successful commissioning of the Stage 3 Expansion process plant, we are pleased to provide our 2026 guidance, forecasting a significant increase in production, with low cash costs and all-in sustaining costs," stated John Lewins, CEO of K92 Mining. "This growth is supported by the ramp-up in mining and processing of new mining fronts, together with the benefits of projects completed in 2025."

K92 Mining forecasted cash costs between $710-$770 per ounce gold and AISC of $1,250-$1,350 per ounce gold in 2026. The company plans a record exploration program of $31-$35 million targeting near-mine and regional targets, with two additional surface drill rigs arriving on-site in Q1 2026.

Issued on behalf of Rush Gold Corp.

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Gold shattered the $4,000 barrier for the first time in history earlier this week^[1], driven by persistent inflation concerns and safe haven demand amid economic uncertainty. So far in 2025, mining stocks are already soaring 135%^[2] as companies capture extraordinary margin expansion while production costs stabilize, creating unprecedented profit leverage^[3] that positions well-managed exploration and development companies to capitalize on this historic environment, including Rush Gold Corp. (CSE: RGN) (FSE: B6H), PPX Mining Corp. (TSXV: PPX) (OTCPK: SNNGF), Austin Gold Corp. (NYSE-American: AUST), K92 Mining Inc. (TSX: KNT) (OTCQX: KNTNF), and Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc. (NYSE-American: IDR).

Wall Street heavyweight Goldman Sachs raised its forecast to $4,900 per ounce by late 2026^[4], citing sticky demand from Western investors and continued central bank buying that shows no signs of slowing. The convergence of accommodative monetary policy, geopolitical tensions, and institutional diversification away from traditional reserve assets creates compelling timing for investors to establish positions in mining companies before the next wave of institutional capital flows into the sector.

Rush Gold Corp. (CSE: RGN) (FSE: B6H) recently released a corporate update highlighting significant momentum in its first 90 days as a publicly traded company, with a completed financing and strategic land consolidation positioning the explorer in one of Nevada's most historically productive silver-gold districts.

The Vancouver-based company is advancing two adjacent properties in the Republic Mining District, Nye County, Nevada, a region that produced high-grade silver in the early 1900s but has seen limited modern exploration until recent years. The district sits along Nevada's Walker Lane structural corridor, which has hosted numerous major discoveries and continues to attract significant exploration investment.

"As we mark our third month as a publicly traded company, Rush Gold Corp. is proud of the strong foundation we've built as a U.S.-focused mineral exploration company," said Anthony Zelen, CEO of Rush Gold. "We are incredibly excited about the potential of our flagship Skylight property in Nevada, and the recent acquisition of the Legal Tender silver property which further strengthens our portfolio."

The flagship Skylight property spans 330 acres and covers what geologists believe is a well-preserved epithermal gold-silver system, a geological environment where hot, mineral-rich fluids deposited precious metals underground and subsequent erosion has not removed the mineralization. Newmont Mining and Rimfire Minerals Corporation explored the ground as part of a joint venture in the 2000s, identifying it as one of their highest-priority targets before the partnership ended and the claims eventually lapsed.

Their limited drilling intersected gold in three of six holes, including 10.67 meters grading 0.49 grams per tonne gold, but the core target beneath a preserved silica cap remains largely untested. Recent technical work has added validation to the geological model. ASTER satellite imaging revealed a 1.2-kilometer alteration footprint at Skylight, precisely the type of large-scale geochemical signature that characterizes significant epithermal systems in Nevada. The technology identifies surface minerals associated with gold-silver mineralization, effectively mapping the hydrothermal system's potential extent.

The Walker Lane corridor has emerged as a major exploration focus following the discovery of over 16 million ounces of gold near Beatty. Blackrock Silver has defined significant silver resources at Tonopah to the south, while Fortitude Gold is advancing the County Line Project toward production just north of Rush Gold's position, with numerous other explorers actively acquiring ground and initiating work throughout the district.

"Following the spectacular discovery of over 16 million ounces of gold near Beatty, exploration activity along Walker Lane has accelerated significantly," said Zelen. "We feel Rush Gold is strategically positioned within a highly prospective exploration corridor."

Rush Gold has consolidated its district footprint through the recent option agreement for the Legal Tender property, located just three kilometers north of Skylight. The historic project covers most of the Republic Mining District and includes several early 1900s mine workings. Historic sampling has returned selective grab samples including 1,875 grams per tonne silver and 4.94 grams per tonne gold from old mine dumps, confirming the district's high-grade mineralization potential.

Coming off of closing its upsized private placement at $500,000, Rush Gold now has the capital to advance targeted field programs. Near-term work will focus on refining targets from ASTER satellite data and 3D geophysics at Skylight, while conducting systematic follow-up at Legal Tender's historic workings. The company's phase-gated exploration approach is designed to preserve capital while testing the highest-priority targets identified by previous operators but never properly drilled.

With gold trading above $4,000 per ounce for the first time in history, exploration projects in proven districts with strong technical merit and major company validation are attracting renewed attention. Lower-grade zones that were marginal at lower price levels can screen as economic at today's elevated prices, expanding the potential scope of viable targets. Nevada remains one of the world's top mining jurisdictions according to the Fraser Institute, offering established infrastructure, favorable permitting pathways, and a mining-friendly regulatory environment.

Rush Gold listed on the CSE on June 23, 2025, raising $450,000 through its initial public offering at $0.10 per share. The company also trades on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under symbol B6H, providing access to both North American and European investors as it advances toward field programs at its Nevada properties.

In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:

PPX Mining Corp. (TSXV: PPX) (OTCPK: SNNGF) has executed a binding Letter of Intent with Glencore Peru S.A.C. to advance its Igor Project through a strategic equity investment at C$0.237 per unit, representing a 15.4% premium to the 30-day VWAP and delivering Glencore a 9.99% ownership stake. The agreement includes a life-of-mine offtake arrangement for 100% of precious-metals concentrates produced from Igor, ensuring guaranteed sales through Glencore's global marketing network.

"Signing this binding LOI with Glencore is a significant milestone for PPX," said Brian Imrie, Executive Chairman of PPX Mining. "The combination of strategic equity, a life-of-mine offtake framework, and access to Glencore Technology provides a strong platform to advance Igor responsibly and efficiently while aligning our financing and commercialization pathways."

Up to 25% of proceeds will fund plant construction, commissioning, and start-up working capital, with the remainder supporting exploration, permitting, and development of Igor's sulfide areas. The transaction includes technical collaboration through Glencore Technology for tailings retreatment optimization and operational enhancements at PPX's CIL and flotation plant.

Austin Gold Corp. (NYSE-American: AUST) has designed a detailed CSAMT geophysical survey at its Stockade Mountain Project after determining that historical gradient-array IP-resistivity data was unsuitable for imaging potential vein-hosting structures at target depths of 200-300 meters. The company's 2024 soil sampling program at Lone Mountain revealed significant enrichments of arsenic, antimony, and thallium over large areas associated with gold anomalies up to 0.128 g/t.

The company has received permission from the Oregon Water Resources Department to drill a water well for exploration activities, planned for Q4 2025. Austin is deferring its RC drilling program until 2026 to incorporate CSAMT survey results into drill targeting while continuing geological mapping and geochemical sampling at Lone Mountain.

K92 Mining Inc. (TSX: KNT) (OTCQX: KNTNF) delivered strong Q3 2025 production of 44,323 ounces gold equivalent, comprised of 42,244 oz gold, 1,323,538 lbs copper and 34,831 oz silver, with the company processing 137,172 tonnes at a head grade of 11.2 g/t AuEq. The operation achieved record total material mined of 353,770 tonnes with multiple daily records in late September, including 6,404 tonnes on September 29, demonstrating increased productivity from commissioning the first material pass combined with surface trucks operating in the twin incline.

"The third quarter marked another strong period of progress for K92 both in terms of production and continued execution of the Stage 3 Expansion," said John Lewins, CEO of K92 Mining. "With the commissioning of the new 1.2 million tonnes-per-annum Stage 3 Expansion Process Plant nearing completion, this marks an exciting period in the Company's history as K92 transitions into a Tier-1, mid-tier producer."

Construction of the new Stage 3 Expansion Process Plant is complete and was delivered under budget, with ore already introduced into crushing, grinding and flotation circuits keeping first gold pour and concentrate production on track for the first half of Q4 2025. With 90% of Stage 3 growth capital spent or committed and remaining on budget, K92 maintains its 2025 production guidance of 160,000-185,000 oz AuEq after achieving more than 80% of the lower end in the first three quarters.

Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc. (NYSE-American: IDR) reported high-grade gold intercepts within broader mineralized zones at the Red Star area of its Golden Chest Mine, highlighted by drill hole GC 24-276 returning 5.13 g/t over 13.5 meters including 14.72 g/t over 2.3 meters in drilled thickness, as the company was also added to the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) effective September 19, 2025. The completion of underground drill stations at the 941-level now allows for better-oriented drilling to estimate true thickness and delineate the shape of mineralized zones at this discovery announced in October 2024.

"The Red Star area is a unique prospect at the Golden Chest compared to the typical veins we've mined and explored previously," said John Swallow, President and CEO of Idaho Strategic Resources. "Traditionally, at the Golden Chest our operations have centered around narrow, high-grade veins within waste rock. The Red Star is unique in that there are broad zones of lower grade mineralization surrounding the higher-grade intercepts."

The newly developed drill stations are strategically located to target other priority areas north of existing operations including the Claggett and Popcorn veins in the footwall of the Idaho fault. Idaho Strategic plans for the underground drill and one surface drill to continue working through year-end, with the underground program targeting the Red Star area while the surface drill focuses on resource delineation at the Paymaster.
