Western Nations Accelerate $12B Critical Mineral Initiatives as Global Export Restrictions Reach Record HighsMay 7, 2026 11:15 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Issued on behalf of GoldHaven Resources Corp.USANewsGroup.com News Commentary VANCOUVER, BC, May 7, 2026 /CNW/ -- The money tells the story. Western governments just committed $12.1 billion in new mining project capital through 30 partnerships at the 2026 PDAC conference, while the U.S. launched its FORGE coalition, pulling in 54 nations and locking down 11 bilateral supply agreements in a single day[1]. That spending is reactive. A new OECD inventory confirms global export restrictions on critical raw materials have hit an all-time high, with supply concentration for cobalt, lithium, and rare earths now exceeding 90% among the top three producing nations[2]. The structural shift is pulling capital down the entire Western mineral pipeline, from early stage exploration to commercial production, and five companies are positioned directly in its path: GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Almonty Industries (NASDAQ: ALM) (TSX: AII), Brixton Metals (TSXV: BBB) (OTCQX: BBBXF), NioCorp Developments (NASDAQ: NB), and Energy Fuels (NYSE-A: UUUU) (TSX: EFR). Analysts now project the global critical minerals market will nearly double to $715 billion by 2035, with North American investment growing at the fastest rate as defense budgets, AI infrastructure, and electrification demand converge on the same finite set of inputs. An April 2026 OECD working paper on critical minerals and clean energy applications reinforces the thesis: projects offering exposure to multiple designated critical minerals across defense, energy, and technology supply chains are now attracting the strongest institutional capital[3].GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) just announced the upsizing of its previously announced non-brokered financing to gross proceeds of up to $1.2 million—due to strong investor demand. The additional capital is set to further strengthen GoldHaven's fully funded 2026 exploration program at its flagship Magno Project in the Cassiar District of British Columbia, and it's expected to support an expanded drill campaign targeting a large-scale, multi-phase mineral system with significant and critical metals exposure, including tungsten and indium."The level of investor interest reflects growing recognition of the opportunity at Magno," said Rob Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven. "With drilling set to expand beyond our initial program, we are entering a catalyst-rich phase where we can begin to test the scale of this system across multiple high-priority targets. We believe Magno has the characteristics of a large, multi-phase mineral system, and this program is a key step in advancing that potential."Magno is a district-scale polymetallic property spanning more than 37,200 hectares, carrying silver, tungsten, lead, zinc, and indium mineralization. Tungsten is classified as a critical mineral by both the Canadian and U.S. governments, and Canada currently has no primary domestic tungsten production. GoldHaven Resources has already submitted its drill permit application at Magno and filed a technical report covering the polymetallic system, positioning the project for its first drill program as the funding comes together."We are entering an exciting and highly strategic phase at Magno, where multiple high-grade zones and distinct mineralization styles have now been defined across a large, consolidated land package," said Birmingham. "The combination of high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization and growing exposure to critical minerals such as tungsten and indium continues to reinforce our view that Magno hosts the hallmarks, continues to reinforce our view that Magno is emerging as a compelling district-scale silver and critical minerals exploration opportunity in the Cassiar District."The company is also active in Brazil, where an independent geological review of its 100%-owned Copeçal Gold Project confirmed a large-scale, structurally controlled hydrothermal gold system. The review identified higher-grade gold enrichment at the West Target tied to fold hinge structures, and copper-gold vectors at the East Target supported by zoned sulphide assemblages indicating increasing temperature at depth. A Phase II drill program at Copeçal is planned for 2026, designed to test the high-priority structural and geophysical targets identified through that review.CONTINUED… Read this and more news for GoldHaven Resources at: https://usanewsgroup.com/2025/09/23/the-goldhaven-story-two-continents-one-strategy-systematic-exploration-in-historically-productive-districts/In other industry developments:Almonty Industries (NASDAQ: ALM) (TSX: AII) announced the relocation of its corporate headquarters from Toronto, Ontario to Dillon, Montana, positioning the company closer to U.S. government agencies, defense contractors, and industrial partners following its Nasdaq listing and US$90 million IPO in July 2025 and a US$129 million follow-on financing in December 2025. The move accompanies the acquisition of Montana's Gentung Tungsten Project, expected to restart production in 2026, and deepens Almonty Industries' strategic alignment with U.S. critical mineral supply chain security."Relocating our headquarters to the United States is not merely symbolic," said Lewis Black, Chairman, President and CEO of Almonty Industries. "It reflects who we are – as Montana is the location of our recently acquired Gentung Tungsten Project – and where our future lies. Our investors, customers, and strategic partners are here because they recognize the urgency of building a Western tungsten supply chain free from Chinese dependence."Almonty Industries operates the Sangdong Mine in South Korea, historically one of the world's largest and highest-grade tungsten deposits, as well as projects in Portugal and Spain. With Sangdong Phase 1 complete and Gentung on track for restart, the company is targeting a dominant position in the global non-Chinese tungsten supply chain.Brixton Metals (TSXV: BBB) (OTCQX: BBBXF) reported the third batch of drill results from its Langis 2026 drill program at the Langis silver project in Ontario, Canada, including hole LM-26-290 with a 0.50-metre sample grading 82,334 g/t silver containing abundant native silver, representing the highest-grade single sample ever reported by the company and among the highest silver grades ever reported globally. The hole returned 11.35 metres averaging 4,560 g/t silver, with multiple additional bonanza-grade intercepts reported across the program."We are excited to report the third batch of drill results from the Langis 2026 drill program," said Gary R. Thompson, Chairman and CEO of Brixton Metals. "These results are extraordinary and are among the most significant silver drilled intercepts known to the company globally. Hole LM-26-290 has delivered an exceptional result, highlighted by 82,334 g/t silver from a 0.50m core length sample containing abundant native silver."Brixton Metals is advancing the Langis silver project in Ontario alongside its Thorn copper-gold-silver project in British Columbia, with ongoing drilling at Langis aimed at delineating the extent of bonanza-grade mineralization and establishing a mineral resource estimate.NioCorp Developments (NASDAQ: NB) announced Nebraska enacted legislation giving the company greater flexibility to qualify for approximately $200 million in state tax incentives over the first ten years of operations at the Elk Creek Project in southeast Nebraska, in return for investing hundreds of millions of dollars in the state and creating approximately 450 full-time equivalent jobs. Signed by Governor Jim Pillen on April 16, 2026, the legislation extends the period during which companies must meet Tier 6 Nebraska Advantage Act employment and investment requirements."I want to thank Governor Pillen, Revenue Committee Chairman Brad von Gillern, Senator Hallstrom, and members of the Nebraska Unicameral for supporting this effort," said Mark A. Smith, Chairman and CEO of NioCorp Developments. "Nebraska has stood behind the Elk Creek Project from the very beginning, and this is another clear demonstration of that commitment."The Elk Creek Project is expected to create approximately 450 permanent direct jobs in southeast Nebraska, support an estimated 2,100 additional jobs throughout the broader state economy, and generate approximately $6.59 billion in operating expenses over the project's life. NioCorp Developments is a leading U.S. critical minerals developer focused on advancing the project toward production.Energy Fuels (NYSE-A: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) produced its first kilogram of terbium oxide at its White Mesa Mill in Utah at 99.9% purity using monazite ore sourced domestically, representing the first U.S. mine-to-oxide capability for heavy rare earth oxides in decades and the first production volumes and purities sufficient for downstream metal and alloy validation. The achievement follows production of nearly 30 kilograms of dysprosium oxide at the same purity level, with both terbium and dysprosium now subject to Chinese export controls and critical to high-performance permanent magnets used in electric vehicles, drones, robotics, and defense applications."This success proves we can process and produce high purity 'heavy' rare earth oxides economically and at scale in the U.S.," said Mark Chalmers, CEO of Energy Fuels. "North America will soon have a reliable and secure U.S. commercial source of these vital critical materials ensuring availability for high-performance magnet and defense technologies."Energy Fuels has received requests from multiple magnet manufacturers and OEMs worldwide to begin product validation of its Dy and Tb oxide production. The company operates the White Mesa Mill as a leading U.S. producer of uranium, rare earths, and critical materials, advancing its strategy of becoming a globally significant critical material producer.FURTHER READING: https://usanewsgroup.com/2025/09/23/the-goldhaven-story-two-continents-one-strategy-systematic-exploration-in-historically-productive-districts/CONTACT:

A Supply Crisis Is Brewing in the Metals That Power EverythingApril 29, 2026 10:15 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Issued on behalf of GoldHaven Resources Corp.USANewsGroup.com News Commentary VANCOUVER, BC, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Washington just confirmed what the market already suspected. A formal national security investigation found that America's dependence on imported critical minerals has become a direct threat to its defense and industrial base, and that no single Western country can fix the problem alone[1]. That finding landed while tungsten, one of the most strategically sensitive metals on Earth, was already in freefall on the supply side. Chinese export controls have drained Western inventories to critically low levels and sent processing prices from around $300 to over $1,775 per metric tonne unit in barely a year[2]. Five companies are now positioned across the metals at the center of this structural realignment: GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Almonty Industries (NASDAQ: ALM) (TSX: AII), Idaho Strategic Resources (NYSE-A: IDR), Brixton Metals (TSXV: BBB) (OTCQX: BBBXF), and Kingfisher Metals (TSXV: KFR) (OTCQB: KGFMF).
The silver market tells the same story from a different angle. The Silver Institute's 2026 World Silver Survey confirms a sixth consecutive annual supply deficit, with cumulative shortfalls since 2021 now exceeding 800 million ounces as demand from electrification, AI infrastructure, and defense keeps pulling ahead of production[3]. Building a new mine takes an average of 17 years from discovery to first output, which means the only projects capable of delivering supply within the current deficit window are advanced explorers with near-term drill catalysts already in the pipeline[4].GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) has hired Dias Airborne Limited to fly a 1,741 line-kilometre high-resolution magnetic survey over its flagship Magno Project in northern British Columbia, with the program expected to launch in June 2026. The company also recently closed an oversubscribed flow-through financing totaling approximately $2.04 million to fully fund the upcoming drill campaign.It will be the first modern property-wide geophysical survey across the full Magno land package, which now spans more than 37,200 hectares after GoldHaven recently filed a technical report on three newly acquired mineral claims added to the Magno Project. The airborne program will scan the Magno Zone, Kuhn Zone, and D Zone at tight 100-metre line spacing, targeting corridors where surface sampling has returned silver grades up to 2,370 grams per tonne, tungsten up to 6,550 parts per million, and indium concentrations as high as 334 parts per million.GoldHaven selected Dias based on geological similarities between Magno and Hercules Metals' Leviathan discovery in Idaho, where the same QMAGT sensor platform helped identify concealed drill targets that led to discovery. The technology uses superconducting quantum interference device sensors to capture the full tensor of the Earth's magnetic field, delivering sharper resolution than conventional surveys. GoldHaven is also evaluating a follow-on ground-based 3D IP survey to refine subsurface targeting ahead of drill mobilization."This survey represents a major step forward in systematically unlocking the district-scale potential of Magno," said Rob Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven. "By integrating modern high-resolution geophysics with our growing geological database and 2025 surface discoveries, we believe we are significantly improving our ability to define high-confidence drill targets across multiple mineralized systems at Magno."GoldHaven has already submitted its drill permit application for a 2026 program targeting three high-grade zones carrying silver, tungsten, lead, zinc, and indium mineralization. Tungsten is classified as a critical mineral by both the Canadian and U.S. governments, and Canada currently has no primary domestic tungsten production.Beyond British Columbia, GoldHaven is advancing its Copeçal Gold Project in Mato Grosso, Brazil, where the company recently completed its first diamond drilling program confirming gold and copper anomalism. Phase 2 drilling is planned for mid-Q2 2026. Between Magno and a 123,900-hectare Brazilian portfolio spanning three projects, GoldHaven offers diversified discovery exposure at a stage where most juniors remain locked into a single asset.CONTINUED… Read this and more news for GoldHaven Resources at:https://usanewsgroup.com/2025/09/23/the-goldhaven-story-two-continents-one-strategy-systematic-exploration-in-historically-productive-districts/In other industry developments:Almonty Industries (NASDAQ: ALM) (TSX: AII) announced the relocation of its corporate headquarters from Toronto, Ontario to Dillon, Montana, positioning the company closer to U.S. government agencies, defense contractors, and industrial partners following its Nasdaq listing and US$90 million IPO in July 2025 and a US$129 million follow-on financing in December 2025.

With Sangdong Phase 1 complete and Gentung on track for restart, the company is targeting a dominant position in the global non-Chinese tungsten supply chain.Idaho Strategic Resources (NYSE-A: IDR) has secured a long-term lease for the Niagara copper-silver project in Shoshone County, Idaho, adding a historic resource estimate of approximately 150 million pounds of copper and 8 million ounces of silver to its district-scale Murray Gold Belt landholdings. The Niagara deposit is a Revett-type sediment-hosted deposit located approximately 7 kilometers from Idaho Strategic Resources' producing Golden Chest Mine, with the company holding all adjacent unpatented mineral claims."The Niagara deposit is a natural fit for our Company in many ways," said John Swallow, President and CEO of Idaho Strategic Resources. "In addition to broadening IDR's commodity asset base as our country enters a strong secular commodity market, it also serves as a prime example of the potential of the overall MGB District."The lease begins at $18,000 annually, escalating at 3% per year over an initial 10-year term with extension options, and includes a 2% net smelter royalty with a $1,000,000 buyback option on 1%. Idaho Strategic Resources has planned a 2026 drill campaign to upgrade historic resource confidence and test mineral continuity along strike, down dip, and within the untested lower-middle Revett Formation.Brixton Metals (TSXV: BBB) (OTCQX: BBBXF) reported the third batch of drill results from its Langis 2026 drill program at the Langis silver project in Ontario, Canada, including hole LM-26-290 with a 0.50-metre sample grading 82,334 g/t silver containing abundant native silver, representing the highest-grade single sample ever reported by the company and among the highest silver grades ever reported globally.

The near-surface target is drill-ready and located approximately 6 km from existing highway infrastructure, with porphyry-proximal indications including advanced argillic mineralogy and elevated pyrite abundance at the geophysical core domain."The Turquoise target is a direct result of our systematic exploration approach, which continues to unlock new opportunities across this underexplored yet highly prospective region of the Golden Triangle," said Dustin Perry, CEO of Kingfisher Metals. "The target is located within the emerging Hank–Mary district and only ~6 km from existing infrastructure."The Turquoise target sits approximately 3.4 km east of the Hank porphyry discovery hole drilled in 2025 and expands the prospective footprint across the HWY 37 Project. Kingfisher Metals plans to drill the Turquoise target in summer 2026 as part of a disciplined program building a pipeline of high-quality targets across its large land package in the Golden Triangle.FURTHER READING: https://usanewsgroup.com/2025/09/23/the-goldhaven-story-two-continents-one-strategy-systematic-exploration-in-historically-productive-districts/CONTACT:

Major Institutions are Positioning the $30B Supply Shift for Strategic Growth Potential - Equity Insider.com News CommentaryMarch 30, 2026 5:16 PM
PR Newswire (US)
Issued on behalf of Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp.VANCOUVER, BC, March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global energy needs are shifting. More than 75 nuclear reactors are currently under construction worldwide, and over 120 additional units are in advanced planning stages as baseload capacity expands across 15 countries[1]. The United States is actively working to anchor this buildout domestically. In February, the State Department brought together 54 nations at the 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial, confirming a pivotal $30 billion in federal support to build highly secure supply chains over the last six months[2]. Right now, five scalable companies operating across uranium permitting, lithium offtake, high-grade silver discovery, copper resource expansion, and domestic tungsten development are positioning themselves to try to capture this structural realignment: Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: NUCL), Lithium Ionic (TSXV: LTH) (OTCQB: LTHCF), Brixton Metals (TSXV: BBB) (OTCQX: BBBXF), Koryx Copper (TSXV: KRY) (OTCQB: KRYXF), and American Tungsten (CSE: TUNG) (OTCQB: TUNGF).
Major institutions are quietly positioning for strategic growth potential as global authorities validate this transition. The International Energy Agency's Electricity 2026 report projects nuclear generation rising steadily through 2030, estimating that renewables and nuclear will combine to generate roughly half of all global electricity by the end of the decade[3]. Yet, one of the value drivers separating advanced projects from stalled operations comes down to a single bottleneck: permitting certainty. In an era defined by a looming supply crunch, locking down early regulatory approval can be a contributor to long-term stability and sustainable market value.Eagle Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NUCL) recently announced the appointment of SLR International Corporation as lead permitting manager for the Aurora Uranium Project, the company's flagship asset located along the Oregon-Nevada border.For a company that just listed on the NASDAQ in February 2026, this is a calculated early move. Permitting is where uranium projects go to die slowly. Getting the right firm locked in before the regulatory clock starts ticking can mean the difference between a project that advances and one that stalls for years.SLR is not a generic hire. The firm's designated team has direct working relationships with the Bureau of Land Management and the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, the two agencies that will ultimately decide Aurora's fate. That same team already guided Paramount Gold's Grassy Mountain project and Jindalee Lithium's McDermitt project through permitting in Malheur County, Oregon, the exact county where Aurora sits. When a firm already knows the regulators by name, the learning curve is reduced.There is also a potential shortcut in play. SLR helped get Jindalee's McDermitt project fast-tracked under the U.S. federal government's FAST-41 program, which is designed to compress environmental review timelines for major infrastructure projects. Eagle's management is now working with SLR to try to get Aurora onto that same list."SLR's permitting expertise, their proven track-record around the world, and their relevant experience in our neighbourhood, makes them a natural partner for Eagle as we plan to take Aurora toward the next stage of development," said Vishal Gupta, VP of Operations of Eagle. "The SLR team has been involved in extensive engagement with regulators at the county, state and federal levels, which has direct relevance to expediting the permitting process for Aurora."SLR will manage all permitting work for Aurora, covering environmental baseline studies, drill program support, metallurgical studies, and hydrogeological analysis. The target is a Pre-Feasibility Study by late 2027.Eagle is building toward a vertically integrated nuclear energy model, pairing the Aurora deposit, which holds 32.75 million pounds of indicated uranium and 4.98 million pounds of inferred uranium, with proprietary Small Modular Reactor technology. The company's recent membership in the Uranium Producers of America reinforces its positioning as a domestic uranium supply option at a time when U.S. reactors source more than 95% of their fuel from foreign suppliers.Other industry developments and happenings in the market include:Lithium Ionic (TSXV: LTH) (OTCQB: LTHCF) has secured binding offtake agreements with Yahua Group and Grand Chen for 170,000 tonnes per annum of spodumene concentrate from its Bandeira Lithium Project in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The five-year take-or-pay contracts include a US$1,000 per tonne floor price with no discount to spot and a combined US$20 million pre-payment facility to support construction financing."We are very pleased to be partnering with Yahua Group and Grand Chen — two highly capable and globally established participants in the lithium supply chain, and Tier-1 suppliers to leading battery and electric vehicle manufacturers," said CEO Blake Hylands of Lithium Ionic. "Their commitment to the Bandeira Project is a strong endorsement of both the quality of our asset and our ability to deliver high-quality spodumene concentrate into global markets."The offtake counterparties supply tier-one customers including BYD, Tesla, CATL, and LG Energy Solution, providing strong third-party validation of Bandeira's commercial positioning. Lithium Ionic is advancing project financing toward a construction decision, with the agreements materially enhancing bankability across a rapidly growing global lithium supply chain.Brixton Metals (TSXV: BBB) (OTCQX: BBBXF) has reported record-grade silver intercepts from its 2026 drill campaign at the wholly owned Langis Silver Project in Cobalt, Ontario, highlighted by hole LM-26-290 returning 82,334 g/t silver over 0.5 metres within a broader 11.35 metre interval grading 4,560 g/t silver. The result, representing the company's highest-grade single sample on record, was captured within two veins of massive native silver associated with cobalt and nickel-bearing minerals."These results are extraordinary and are among the most significant silver drilled intercepts known to the Company globally," said Chairman and CEO Gary R. Thompson of Brixton Metals. "Hole LM-26-290 has delivered an exceptional result, highlighted by 82,334 g/t silver from a 0.50m core length sample containing abundant native-silver. This represents the highest-grade single sample ever reported by the Company and, to our knowledge, one of the highest silver grades ever reported globally."Drilling is ongoing in the Langis Shaft 6 area, targeting expansion and infill of established high-grade silver zones across a 2026 program that has completed 8,282 metres across 43 holes to date. Brixton Metals continues to demonstrate Langis as a high-grade primary silver project with significant discovery potential remaining.Koryx Copper (TSXV: KRY) (OTCQB: KRYXF) has released an updated mineral resource estimate for its wholly owned Haib Copper Project in southern Namibia, now totalling 2,090,000 tonnes of contained copper in the Indicated category and 1,385,000 tonnes Inferred, with a copper equivalent grade increase of 18% in the high-grade Indicated zone to 0.40% CuEq. The updated estimate incorporates molybdenum and gold as by-products for the first time, while the project's stripping ratio improved substantially from 1.74x to 0.92x."We are very pleased with the large improvement and refinement of the Haib MRE, particularly the grade increase of the high grade portion to 0.40% CuEq coupled with the conversion of a large volume of material previously modelled as waste into lower grade mineralised material, thereby increasing the total copper inventory from 2.6Mt to 3.5Mt," said President and CEO Heye Daun of Koryx Copper. "The life-of-mine of the Haib project is expected to grow very significantly from its current 24 years to likely more than 35 years."With 14 drill rigs advancing a 55,000 metre program expected to complete by mid-2026, Koryx Copper is targeting a further MRE update ahead of a Preliminary Feasibility Study planned for the fourth quarter of 2026.American Tungsten (CSE: TUNG) (OTCQB: TUNGF) has reported initial drill results from its second D-Level station at the IMA Mine in Lemhi County, Idaho, with significant tungsten-silver intercepts in all holes confirming continuity of the polymetallic vein system along strike and up-dip from historical workings. Highlights include 28.3 feet grading 0.39% WO3 and 1.08 oz/t silver in hole AT26-08, and 10 feet grading 0.80% WO3 and 1.91 oz/t silver in hole AT26-10."The results from the second drill station on the D-Level further reinforce the continuity and scale of the tungsten-silver vein system at the IMA Mine," said CEO Ali Haji of American Tungsten Corp. "The consistent mineralization widths encountered across all drillholes support our understanding of the vein geometry and its extension up-dip and along strike from historical workings. These results provide continued confidence as we systematically advance drilling to define a modern, mineable resource."American Tungsten has now completed 15 drillholes on the D-Level and 8 on the Zero Level, totalling approximately 7,800 feet, with excavation of a third drill station currently underway. Planning for the Zero Level includes up to 20 additional holes totalling approximately 10,000 feet from three locations.CONTACT:EQUITY INSIDERinfo @acblanke1DISCLAIMER: Nothing in this publication should be considered as personalized financial advice.
