Kodiak Copper [TSXV:KDK] is moving closer to unlocking the value of its Arizona assets through the creation of a dedicated US-focused copper exploration company, as the proposed transaction with Teck Resources continues to advance towards an expected third-quarter completion.

The Canadian explorer said key milestones had been achieved in the formation of Kay Copper, the new company that is intended to combine Kodiak’s Mohave project with Teck’s Copper Hill project in Arizona, creating a focused vehicle positioned to capitalise on growing demand for copper in North America.

The transaction comes at a time when copper has become increasingly central to global industrial policy. Demand for the metal is expected to rise sharply over the coming decade, driven by electrification, renewable energy infrastructure, artificial intelligence-related power demand and grid modernisation.

Against that backdrop, investors have shown renewed interest in exploration companies with exposure to prospective projects in mining-friendly jurisdictions.

nMark Osterberg to join Kay Coppern

Kodiak chief executive Claudia Tornquist said the transaction remained on track and represented the best route to maximise the value of the company’s non-core Arizona assets.

“I am pleased to report that the previously announced transaction to create Kay Copper, a US-focused copper exploration company, is progressing well and important milestones have been achieved,” she said.

Among the latest developments is the completion of an initial financing by NewCo, the private company established to facilitate the transaction. The financing raised C$830,000 from a broad group of investors and is intended to support the shareholder distribution requirements associated with a future TSX Venture Exchange listing.

The project has also secured a key addition to its technical leadership team. Veteran exploration geologist Mark Osterberg has agreed to join Kay Copper as vice-president of exploration following completion of the transaction. Based in Arizona, he will oversee exploration programmes at both Mohave and Copper Hill.

Osterberg brings decades of experience in porphyry copper systems, including work with major mining groups such as BHP, Cyprus Mining and Gold Fields. His career has included involvement in exploration programmes at several well-known copper deposits, including Bagdad, Robinson and Ok Tedi.

His appointment is being viewed as an important step in building the management team required to advance the combined asset portfolio.

nWhat the Kodiak-Teck transaction looks liken

The proposed transaction would see Kodiak and Teck each contribute their respective Arizona projects into the new company in exchange for substantial equity stakes. Following completion of the deal and a planned concurrent financing, both companies are expected to own approximately 28 per cent of Kay Copper.

The structure provides strong alignment between the parties and ensures continued support from two experienced industry participants as the new company advances exploration.

Attention is now turning towards a planned C$4m financing, the proceeds of which are expected to fund exploration programmes aimed at materially advancing both projects during 2026. The funds will be held in escrow until the transaction closes and all regulatory and listing requirements have been satisfied.

For Kodiak, the transaction reflects a broader strategy of creating value through focused asset development while maintaining exposure to upside. The company will retain a significant ownership stake in Kay Copper, allowing shareholders to benefit from any exploration success while Kodiak continues to advance its flagship MPD copper-gold project in British Columbia.

As global competition for future copper supply intensifies, the emergence of a dedicated Arizona-focused explorer backed by both Kodiak and Teck is attracting increasing attention. While the transaction remains subject to final agreements and regulatory approvals, the progress achieved so far suggests momentum is building behind a venture designed to tap into one of mining’s most compelling long-term themes.

BHP Group (ASX:BHP) continues to attract attention after recent share price moves, with the stock up about 7% over the past month and about 29% over the past 3 months.

See our latest analysis for BHP Group.

The recent move has come after a strong run over 3 months, but the 1-day and 7-day share price returns are both down. This suggests some of that momentum may be cooling even as the 1-year total shareholder return of 76.63% highlights how rewarding the stock has been for investors over a longer period.

If you are looking beyond BHP Group in the resources space, this could be a useful moment to scan other copper focused opportunities through the 8 top copper producer stocks.

With BHP Group posting a 76.63% total return over the past year and trading around A$61.40, investors now face a key question: is there still value on the table, or is the market already pricing in future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 49.5% Undervalued

According to the most followed narrative for BHP Group, a fair value of A$121.48 sits well above the recent A$61.40 share price, raising questions about how much of the company’s scale and profitability is currently reflected in the market.

BHP Group is one of the world’s largest mining companies, producing key commodities such as iron ore, copper, and metallurgical coal that are essential for global infrastructure, steel production, and the energy transition. In FY2024, BHP reported revenue of approximately US$55.7 billion and underlying attributable profit of US$13.7 billion, highlighting the company’s strong profitability and scale in global resource markets.

Read the complete narrative.

Want to see what underpins such a big gap between narrative value and price? The core assumptions rest on large scale output, resilient margins and long term demand for copper and iron ore. Curious how those inputs combine into that A$121.48 figure and what kind of earnings profile they imply over time?

Result: Fair Value of A$121.48 (UNDERVALUED)

Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what’s behind the forecasts.

However, BHP Group’s narrative could be tested if global steel demand weakens and iron ore prices soften, or if copper intensive projects are delayed or scaled back.

Find out about the key risks to this BHP Group narrative.

Another View on BHP Group Using Market Ratios

While the user narrative points to BHP Group as 49.5% undervalued at A$121.48 per share, the market’s own yardstick tells a different story. At a P/E of 21.4x, BHP trades well above the Australian Metals and Mining industry at 11.9x and above its fair ratio of 20.3x, which suggests less of a bargain and more valuation risk if earnings do not keep pace.

Compared with a peer average P/E of 30.2x, BHP does not look stretched across its wider peer set. However, the premium to its industry and to that 20.3x fair ratio invites a simple question for investors: is this pricing a quality premium you are comfortable paying at A$61.40?

Canadian National Railway Co (NYSE:CNI) is one of the best long-term stocks to invest in according to Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust. Canadian National Railway shares have gone up more than 20% over the past six months.

Canadian National Railway Co (NYSE:CNI) has landed a deal to provide rail services to mining giant BHP, according to a June 4 press release. Canadian National Railway will transport potash from BHP’s Jansen mine in Saskatchewan to ports in Vancouver for export to the global markets.

In this arrangement, Canadian National Railway will operate unit trains between the mine and the export terminals using BHP-owned railcars. The initial contract will run for around four years and is focused on the Jansen Stage 1 production. The railroad operator may have a role in the next phases of the project. The Jansen mine is expected to begin production in mid-2027.

BHP said the rail transport deal with Canadian National Railway strengthens the reliability of its supply chain. It also said this arrangement ensures it’s well-positioned to deliver potash from Saskatchewan to global customers. Canadian National Railway said the Jansen project is a significant opportunity for Canada’s export industry.

Canadian National Railway Co (NYSE:CNI) is a freight rail company headquartered in Quebec, Canada. Its nearly 20,000-mile rail network serves Canada and the US, facilitating the movement of everything from resource materials and factory inputs to finished goods.

While we acknowledge the potential of CNI as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

BHP Group (NYSE:BHP) will record a $2.3 billion writedown on its giant Jansen potash mine after another cost and timeline reset at the Canadian project. The latest review showed phase two will now cost $6.9 billion, up from the previous $4.9 billion estimate, adding fresh pressure to a project that has already tested investor patience.

The world's largest miner moved ahead with Jansen's expansion in 2023, before phase one had even started production, as fertilizer prices surged after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Since then, potash prices have fallen, while costs across both phases have continued to rise, making the project more controversial among some investors.

BHP approved construction of the Saskatchewan mine in 2021 after years of debate over its large price tag. Phase one is expected to begin production next year, while phase two is now expected to start producing toward the end of 2031. BHP still views Jansen as a long-life potash business that could potentially operate for a century and scale toward the size of its flagship Australian iron ore operations.

BHP Group (NYSE:BHP) shares fell sharply after the miner flagged a $2.3 billion write-down on its Jansen potash mine in Canada, driven by higher costs and delays tied to the project's expansion. The move marked BHP's biggest one-day share decline in 14 months, adding fresh pressure on a project that has already faced investor scrutiny over its scale, spending, and long development timeline.

The company said phase two of Jansen will now cost $6.9 billion, up from an earlier estimate of $4.9 billion, with production expected toward the end of 2031. BHP shares closed 5.6% lower in Sydney on Friday, while its UK-listed shares fell 4.4% in London on Thursday. Barclays analysts estimate BHP has spent $20.3 billion on the project so far, with $4.1 billion now impaired.

Barclays analysts including Amos Fletcher said expected internal rates of return have declined, and now estimate total returns of 7.1% across the first two development stages. BHP does not expect total capital expenditure to rise for the 2027 fiscal year, though it did not provide estimates for later years. First production from phase one is still expected next year, while the mine could possibly become a century-long business that BHP believes may eventually rival its Australian iron ore operations in scale.

USA Rare Earth, Inc. USAR and Teck Resources Limited TECK are key participants in the Zacks Mining – Miscellaneous industry. Both companies are engaged in the extraction, processing and development of minerals that are essential to modern technologies and industrial applications. USAR and TECK are well-positioned to benefit from the growing demand for critical materials used in electrification, clean energy technologies and advanced manufacturing.Both companies operate in capital-intensive mining industries that require extensive investments in infrastructure, advanced technologies and project development, while also navigating regulatory clearances and regulatory approval processes. At the same time, growing demand for minerals and metals critical to electric vehicles, renewable energy and other clean-energy technologies is creating favorable long-term growth opportunities for these companies.

The Case for USAR

USA Rare Earth has commissioned its hydrometallurgical demonstration facility in Wheat Ridge, CO, in June 2026, marking a key step in building an integrated rare earth supply chain outside China. The company expects to begin producing commercial-quality separated rare earth oxides, including NdPr, dysprosium and terbium, in the third quarter of 2026.The facility will process material from multiple sources, including the Round Top facility, third-party feedstocks and recycled magnet swarf, while supporting feasibility studies and future commercial-scale operations.Also, the successful commissioning of Phase 1a of USAR’s commercial magnet production line at its Stillwater, OK, facility marks an important milestone in USAR’s growth strategy. The development enables the company to begin supplying sintered NdFeB permanent magnets to customers starting in the second quarter of 2026.The commissioning demonstrates USA Rare Earth’s capability to operate a complex rare earth magnet manufacturing process at a commercial scale. At its Stillwater facility, USAR transforms rare earth materials into high-performance NdFeB permanent magnets through a series of production steps used in end markets such as defense, aerospace and automotive.The Phase 1a is expected to achieve an annual production run rate of 600 metric tons by the end of 2026, while the planned Phase 1b expansion is projected to double total capacity to 1,200 metric tons annually by the first quarter of 2027. Once fully operational, the Stillwater facility is expected to be among the first large-scale NdFeB magnet manufacturing facilities in the United States, supporting a more resilient domestic rare earth supply chain.USAR has strengthened its growth strategy through a combination of financing and acquisitions. In June 2026, the company secured access to up to $1.6 billion in government-backed funding under the CHIPS Program from the U.S. Department of Commerce. The package includes up to $277 million in federal funding and up to $1.3 billion in loan support as the company advances key development milestones.In May 2026, USA Rare Earth secured a $14.2 million grant from the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund to boost the development of its Round Top Mountain rare earth project in West Texas, aimed at supporting domestic supply chains for critical minerals used in defense, semiconductors, AI and advanced technologies.Also, in March 2026, USAR agreed to acquire Texas Mineral Resources Corp. in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $73 million, giving it full ownership of the Round Top Project. The company expects commercial production at Round Top to begin in 2028, with a long-term goal of processing nearly 40,000 metric tons of rare earth and critical mineral feedstock per day by 2030. The November 2025 acquisition of Less Common Metals is expected to provide critical metal and alloy feedstock for the Stillwater plant.While USAR is making progress with its growth initiatives, it is still in the early stages of commercialization and continues to report losses as it scales its operations. While the acquisition of Less Common Metals has started contributing to revenues, profitability remains under pressure from higher operating expenses associated with expansion efforts, acquisitions and workforce additions.In the first quarter of 2026, selling, general and administrative expenses surged to $21.2 million from $7 million in the prior-year period, driven by higher legal, consulting and personnel-related costs. Research and development expenses also rose to $14.2 million from $1.7 million a year ago, reflecting increased investment in product development and growth initiatives.

The Case for TECK

As part of its long-term growth strategy, Teck Resources is increasing its focus on copper and other critical minerals that are essential for electrification and clean energy technologies. The company has agreed to merge with Anglo American plc to form the Anglo Teck group, creating one of the world's largest copper-focused mining companies. It will have more than 70% exposure to copper and is set to be among the top five global copper producers. The new company will consist of six world-class copper assets and premium iron ore and zinc operations with a combined annual copper production of 1.2 million tons. It is projected to grow 10% to 1.35 million tons by 2027, strengthening its position in the global copper market.Teck Resources is further strengthening its copper growth pipeline by advancing several development projects toward sanction readiness. The company is progressing with permitting activities, securing land access and refining the business cases for its Zafranal and San Nicolás projects.Zafranal is expected to have a mine life of 19 years and produce copper-gold concentrates through open-pit mining and conventional processing. The project is anticipated to generate an average of 126,000 tons of contained copper annually during its first five years of operation. Meanwhile, the San Nicolás project is advancing through the feasibility study stage and is expected to produce approximately 63,000 tons of copper and 147,000 tons of zinc annually during its first five years, on a 100% ownership basis.Also, the Highland Valley Mine Life Extension is expected to extend the mine’s life from 2028 to 2046. Expected average annual copper production will likely be 132,000 tons over the life of the mine. The company expects to increase copper production to around 800,000 tons before the end of this decade.However, the company’s zinc in concentrate production declined to 120 thousand tons in the first quarter of 2026 from 137 thousand tons a year earlier, reflecting lower grades at Red Dog in line with the mine plan. TECK expects zinc production to trend lower over the next three years as the mine approaches the end of its life. Full-year 2026 zinc production guidance is 410-460 thousand tons compared with 565 thousand tons produced in 2025.Operating costs at several assets increased year over year due to higher contractor, energy and maintenance expenses. The company highlighted exposure to fuel price volatility and higher freight and explosives costs linked to geopolitical developments. Even though there is currently no significant risk of fuel supply disruption, the company expects an impact on costs at its Chilean operations due to the requirement for diesel imports.

Final Take

USAR is benefiting from the ramp-up of its commercial magnet production line, along with strategic acquisitions and investments designed to build a fully integrated domestic rare earth supply chain. The acquisitions of Less Common Metals and Texas Mineral Resources are expected to enhance the company’s operational capabilities and support its long-term growth strategy. However, USAR remains in the early stages of commercialization and continues to incur losses as it invests in capacity expansion, technology development and other growth initiatives.In contrast, Teck Resources’ strong performance in the coming quarters is supported by its scale of operation, asset diversity and strategic transformation. The planned merger with Anglo American will create a global copper and critical minerals leader, with more than 70% exposure to copper. Though near-term zinc in concentrate production at Red Dog has been impacted by operational issues, TECK’s long-life assets and growth projects are expected to lower execution risk.Given these factors, TECK seems a better pick for investors than USAR currently. While TECK Materials carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present, USA Rare Earth has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Teck Resources Limited (NYSE:TECK) is one of the best copper stocks to buy for the AI and electrification boom. The company’s freshest relevant angle is tied to the planned Anglo-Teck merger. On May 18, 2026, Reuters reported that Anglo American agreed to sell its Australian steelmaking coal assets for up to $3.88 billion, a move aimed at simplifying the company and reducing debt ahead of its planned combination with Teck. The sale keeps investor attention on Anglo American’s portfolio reset before the merger closes.

For Teck investors, the update matters because the proposed combination would make copper the center of the future company’s investment case. Teck and Anglo American have said the combined Anglo Teck would become a top-five global copper producer and is expected to offer investors more than 70% exposure to copper. That gives Teck a cleaner link to electrification, grid expansion, and AI-related power demand, even without a direct data-center customer angle.

Teck Resources Limited (NYSE:TECK) is a Vancouver-based resource company with copper and zinc operations across North and South America and a copper growth pipeline.

While we acknowledge the potential of TECK as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Zacks Investment Research

How much a stock's price changes over time is important for most investors, since price performance can both impact your investment portfolio and help you compare investment results across sectors and industries.

FOMO, or the fear of missing out, also plays a role in investing, particularly with tech giants and popular consumer-facing stocks.

What if you'd invested in Teck Resources Ltd (TECK) ten years ago? It may not have been easy to hold on to TECK for all that time, but if you did, how much would your investment be worth today?

Teck Resources Ltd's Business In-Depth

With that in mind, let's take a look at Teck Resources Ltd's main business drivers.

Vancouver, Canada-based Teck Resources is committed to mining and mineral development with business units focused on copper and zinc. Teck is also a leading producer of lead and a significant producer of specialty metals such as germanium, indium and cadmium. It also produces gold dore and silver. Teck also produces industrial products and fertilizers, which are recovered from its zinc and lead smelting operations in Trail, B.C.

Teck Resources divested its Steelmaking Coal business or Elk Valley Resources (“EVR”) in July 2024. The company categorized it as discontinued operations and restated the revenue and EPS (in CAD) for all quarters of 2023 and for 2024.

Teck Resources is a significant copper producer in the Americas, with four operating mines in Canada, Chile and Peru, and development projects in North and South America. Its main projects are Highland Valley Copper in Canada and Antamina, Quebrada Blanca (QB) and Carmen de Andacollo in South America.

Teck Resources is one of the world's largest producers of mined zinc, with three operating mines in the United States and Peru, and it owns one of the world's largest fully integrated zinc and lead smelting and refining facilities located in Canada. Teck produces zinc concentrate from Red Dog Operations in Alaska. In addition to marketing its zinc concentrate around the world, the company’s concentrate team also purchases concentrate from other mines for processing at the Trail operations complex in British Columbia.In September 2025, Teck Resources entered the merger agreement with Anglo American to form the Anglo Teck group. The new company will boast an industry-leading portfolio, consisting of six world-class copper assets, and premium iron ore and zinc operations. The combined annual copper production of 1.2 million tons is projected to grow 10% to 1.35 million tons by 2027. The combined company will also be one of the world's largest zinc producers. Within four years of completion, the deal is expected to yield around $800 million in annual pre-tax synergies. It has been cleared by shareholders of both the companies.

Bottom Line

Anyone can invest, but building a successful investment portfolio requires research, patience, and a little bit of risk. So, if you had invested in Teck Resources Ltd, ten years ago, you're likely feeling pretty good about your investment today.

A $1000 investment made in June 2016 would be worth $5,687.72, or a 468.77% gain, as of June 15, 2026, according to our calculations. Investors should note that this return excludes dividends but includes price increases.

The S&P 500 rose 254.54% and the price of gold increased 214.85% over the same time frame in comparison.

Looking ahead, analysts are expecting more upside for TECK.

Teck delivered record copper sales and higher earnings in the first quarter of 2026, supported by elevated copper prices and improved performance at Quebrada Blanca and Trail. The balance sheet remains solid providing visibility on capital allocation. However, zinc production is set to decline as Red Dog matures, input cost volatility remains a risk and execution across large growth projects requires sustained discipline. The long-term prospects for copper remain positive, supported by the clean energy transition trend. Teck entered into a merger agreement with Anglo American plc to form the Anglo Teck group. The combined annual copper production of 1.2 million tons is projected to grow 10% to 1.35 million tons by 2027. Within four years of completion, the deal is expected to yield around $800 million in annual pre-tax synergies.

The stock has jumped 5.69% over the past four weeks. Additionally, no earnings estimate has gone lower in the past two months, compared to 14 higher, for fiscal 2026; the consensus estimate has moved up as well.

Drilling Confirms Continuity of Large-Scale Mineralized System & Delivers New Discovery

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – June 15, 2026) – AbraSilver Resource Corp. (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF) ("AbraSilver" or the "Company") is pleased to report assay results from the 2026 drill program at the La Coipita copper-gold-molybdenum project ("La Coipita" or the "Project") located in the San Juan Province of Argentina.

The drill program is fully funded and operated by a subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited ("Teck") under the terms of the earn-in and joint venture agreement, as per the Company's news release dated January 22, 2024.

The 2026 program comprised 5,248 metres ("m") of diamond drilling across seven holes (DDH-LC26-010 through DDH-LC26-016), designed to test the limits and vertical continuity of known mineralization at the Yaretas target and evaluate new targets generated by the first-ever magnetotelluric ("MT") geophysical survey completed across the property.

Key Highlights

Hole DDH-LC26-010 returned the strongest drill intercept recorded to date at La Coipita: 747.5 m grading 0.69% Cu, 0.06 g/t Au and 142 ppm Mo, from 396 m to 1,143.5 m down-hole depth, confirming the presence of a robust and vertically extensive copper-gold-molybdenum system. Including:
- 108 m at 1.06% Cu, 0.10 g/t Au and 204 ppm Mo, from 396 to 504 m;
- 184 m at 0.78% Cu, 0.09 g/t Au and 123 ppm Mo, from 604 to 788 m
Hole DDH-LC26-011 returned 250.6 m at 0.39% Cu, 0.07 g/t Au and 119 ppm Mo, from 550 to 800.6 m. This hole confirmed continuity of mineralization between previously reported holes DDHC-22-002 and DDH-LC25-006 (see Figures 1 and 2), further strengthening confidence in the scale and continuity of the Yaretas system.
Hole DDH-LC26-012 resulted in a new, shallower discovery at the Yaretas Sur target, located approximately 1.9 km south of the main Yaretas drilling area (see Figures 1 and 3), intersecting multiple zones of copper-gold mineralization:
- 42 m at 1.03% Cu, 0.63 g/t Au and 41 g/t Ag, from 264 to 306 m, including 28 m at 1.45% Cu, 0.81 g/t Au and 45 g/t Ag
- Additional mineralized intervals that confirm a vertically extensive mineralized system at Yaretas Sur.
The first-ever MT geophysical survey conducted during the 2026 season provides valuable new insights into the geometry of the mineral system and indicates potential extensions to the south, guiding target generation for future drill campaigns.
Holes DDH-LC26-013 and DDH-LC26-015 intercepted indicative copper mineralization within the Yaretas zone, highlighting variability in the system; holes DDH-LC26-014 and DDH-LC26-016 were unable to reach planned target depths.

John Miniotis, President and CEO, commented, "The 2026 drill program delivered several important milestones at La Coipita. Most notably, hole DDH-LC26-010 returned the strongest intercept drilled on the property to date, while hole DDH-LC26-011 confirmed the continuity of mineralization across the core Yaretas system. Equally encouraging was the new, shallower discovery at Yaretas Sur, located nearly 2 km south of the main drilling area, which further demonstrates the district-scale potential of this project. We are pleased to have Teck, one of the world's leading mining companies, continuing to advance La Coipita, and we look forward to continued exploration success."

Stuart McCracken, Vice President, Exploration, Teck commented, "These results reinforce our commitment to responsible and sustainable exploration and our long-term interest in the geological potential of the region."

La Coipita Project Overview

La Coipita is a district-scale property covering over 70,000 hectares in the western San Juan Province, adjacent to the Chilean border. Elevation across the property ranges between 3,500 and 4,500 MASL with moderate to high relief.

The property lies within the prolific Miocene porphyry-epithermal belt of Argentina and Chile, host to numerous world-class deposits, including Filo del Sol, Los Azules, El Indio, Veladero, Pascua Lama and El Pachon.

Since commencing the earn-in program in 2024, Teck has completed a total of 11,270 m of diamond drilling across 19 holes at La Coipita, representing approximately US$23 million in expenditures to date against the total earn-in commitment of US$20 million. In addition to Teck completing US$20 million in expenditures, certain cash payments defined in the earn-in and joint venture agreement remain to be completed by Teck. On completion of these obligations, it is anticipated the parties will form a Joint Venture (80% Teck, 20% AbraSilver).

The 2026 program successfully extended known mineralization at Yaretas, confirmed continuity between previously drilled areas and identified a new mineralized centre at Yaretas Sur. Together with the results of the MT survey, these findings support the potential for a large-scale mineralized system extending well beyond the currently drilled footprint.

The 2026 program, which included 5,248 metres of drilling and the first MT survey ever completed on the property, represents a significant step forward in defining the scale and geometry of the system as the project advances toward potential future Mineral Resource delineation.

Note: All results in this news release for La Coipita have been rounded. Assays are uncut and undiluted. Widths are drilled widths, not true widths. True widths cannot be determined due to the uncertain geometry of mineralization.

QA/QC and Core Sampling Protocols

Core samples were taken every 2m, sent to San Juan for cutting (where applicable), and submitted to ALS Labs for sample preparation and for four-acid digestion multi-element analysis with ICP-MS finish (method codes ME-MS61) and with AAS finish for overlimit of Cu, Pb, Ag, As, Zn, Mo (OG62), and for Au by fire assay with ICP-MS finish (Au-ICP21) and with gravimetry finish for overlimit (Au-GRA21). Steps taken to avoid copper loss from drill core of the supergene enrichment zone included: (1) drilling with triple tube core barrels; (2) sampling whole core in zones of supergene mineralization (retaining 15-20cm of representative skeleton core); (3) avoiding interaction with water or core saws; and (4) taking field duplicates with a hydraulic core splitter.

Investors interested in Mining – Miscellaneous stocks are likely familiar with Nexa Resources S.A. (NEXA) and Anglo American (NGLOY). But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors? We'll need to take a closer look to find out.

The best way to find great value stocks is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The Zacks Rank is a proven strategy that targets companies with positive earnings estimate revision trends, while our Style Scores work to grade companies based on specific traits.

Nexa Resources S.A. has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy), while Anglo American has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) right now. Investors should feel comfortable knowing that NEXA likely has seen a stronger improvement to its earnings outlook than NGLOY has recently. However, value investors will care about much more than just this.

Value investors also try to analyze a wide range of traditional figures and metrics to help determine whether a company is undervalued at its current share price levels.

Our Value category highlights undervalued companies by looking at a variety of key metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, as well as the P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that have been used by value investors for years.

NEXA currently has a forward P/E ratio of 4.88, while NGLOY has a forward P/E of 22.33. We also note that NEXA has a PEG ratio of 0.31. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. NGLOY currently has a PEG ratio of 0.51.

Another notable valuation metric for NEXA is its P/B ratio of 1.19. The P/B is a method of comparing a stock's market value to its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, NGLOY has a P/B of 2.5.

These metrics, and several others, help NEXA earn a Value grade of A, while NGLOY has been given a Value grade of C.

NEXA stands above NGLOY thanks to its solid earnings outlook, and based on these valuation figures, we also feel that NEXA is the superior value option right now.

Analysts have nudged Anglo American’s fair value estimate from £36.53 to £36.80, a small shift that still matters if you are tracking where the stock might offer valuation support. This change sits against Street targets that range roughly from 2,800 GBp on the cautious side up to 4,000 GBp for the more optimistic brokers, reflecting a split view on risk and potential upside. Read on to see how to interpret these moving targets and keep up with the evolving narrative around Anglo American.

Stay updated as the Fair Value for Anglo American shifts by adding it to your watchlist or portfolio. Alternatively, explore our Community to discover new perspectives on Anglo American.

What Wall Street Has Been Saying 🐂 Bullish Takeaways

Deutsche Bank has moved its price target on Anglo American from 3,600 GBp to 3,800 GBp and more recently to 4,500 GBp, which highlights a constructive view on valuation support and upside potential.
Berenberg continues to carry Buy ratings while adjusting targets within a relatively tight band, from 4,200 GBp to 3,900 GBp and then 4,000 GBp, signalling that, in its view, execution and asset quality still justify a higher range than more cautious houses.
Oddo BHF’s upgrade of Anglo American points to improving conviction around the company’s positioning, which investors may see as reinforcement for a more optimistic long term thesis.

🐻 Bearish Takeaways

JPMorgan has shifted Anglo American to Underweight from Neutral with a 2,800 GBp target and later cited events in the Middle East and a new downside scenario for copper and iron ore, framing a more cautious stance on both execution risk and commodity exposure.
CIBC’s reference to the proposed merger with Anglo American in the context of Teck Resources, along with a Tender rating on Teck, underlines that some analysts are focused on deal risk and regulatory timelines rather than pure upside on Anglo American’s standalone valuation.

With a short percentage of shares outstanding of 0.97%, Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE:AEM) is among the 9 Best Silver and Copper Stocks to Buy for the EV Transition.

On May 26, CIBC raised its price target on Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE:AEM) to $310 from $304 while maintaining an Outperformer rating on the shares. The firm cited the company’s favorable first-quarter results and additional exploration upside potential as key factors supporting the target increase.

On May 20, Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE:AEM) announced that it entered into a subscription agreement with Wallbridge Mining Company Limited to purchase approximately 243.9 million common shares at a price of C$0.092 per share for a total consideration of approximately C$22.4 million. Following completion of the transaction, Agnico Eagle is expected to increase its ownership stake in Wallbridge to nearly 20% on a partially diluted basis. The agreement also provides Agnico Eagle with participation rights in future equity financing and the ability to nominate a representative to Wallbridge’s board of directors, strengthening its strategic position and long-term exposure to exploration and development opportunities.

Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE:AEM) was founded in 1957 and is headquartered in Toronto. In addition to producing gold and silver, Agnico Eagle supports the electric vehicle transition through underground mining electrification initiatives, including the use of battery-electric mining equipment and the repurposing of used EV batteries for stationary energy storage applications.

While we acknowledge the potential of AEM as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Momentum investing is all about the idea of following a stock's recent trend, which can be in either direction. In the "long context," investors will essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." And for investors following this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving in that direction. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.

Even though momentum is a popular stock characteristic, it can be tough to define. Debate surrounding which are the best and worst metrics to focus on is lengthy, but the Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.

Below, we take a look at Anglo American (NGLOY), a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of A. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score.

It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Anglo American currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of "A or B" outperform the market over the following one-month period.

You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>>

Set to Beat the Market?

In order to see if NGLOY is a promising momentum pick, let's examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this company holds up.

Looking at a stock's short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It's also helpful to compare a security to its industry; this can show investors the best companies in a particular area.

For NGLOY, shares are up 2.91% over the past week while the Zacks Mining – Miscellaneous industry is up 3.56% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 15.27% compares favorably with the industry's 0.32% performance as well.

Considering longer term price metrics, like performance over the last three months or year, can be advantageous as well. Over the past quarter, shares of Anglo American have risen 28.05%, and are up 85.97% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved 10.8% and 30.05%, respectively.

Investors should also pay attention to NGLOY's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. NGLOY is currently averaging 446,351 shares for the last 20 days.

Earnings Outlook

The Zacks Momentum Style Score also takes into account trends in estimate revisions, in addition to price changes. Please note that estimate revision trends remain at the core of Zacks Rank as well. A nice path here can help show promise, and we have recently been seeing that with NGLOY.

Over the past two months, 2 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost NGLOY's consensus estimate, increasing from $0.73 to $1.15 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 2 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.

Bottom Line

Taking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that NGLOY is a #2 (Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of A. If you've been searching for a fresh pick that's set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Anglo American on your short list.

FTSE 100 Live: Stocks inch higher as miners rise, BAT and Chemring fall Proactive uses images sourced from Shutterstock

FTSE 100 up 25 points to 10,364

Miners gain as copper prices rise, gold steadies

BAT and Chemring updates disappoint

n4.04pm: FTSE indices break losing streakn

UK equities have generally moved higher today, with strength in mining stocks and banks helping the blue-chip benchmark recover from three consecutive negative sessions.

Antofagasta, Glencore and Anglo American top the leaderboard, with Barclays, Rio Tinto, Standard Chartered next.

Some more consumer-focused names are also among the risers, with IHG, Kingfisher and M&S all up over 2%.

The FTSE 250 outperformed its big sibling, though still only up 0.4%.

This was supported by "broader buying interest in midcaps and rate-sensitive domestic shares", says market analyst Patrick Munnelly at Tickmill.

He flags the comments from Andrew Bailey to the House of Lords economic affairs committee this afternoon, where the Bank of England Governor said the monetary policy committee's priority remains returning inflation to its 2% target, not redefining it after repeated overshoots.

"Asked whether the persistence of above-target inflation through much of the 2020s meant the BoE should rethink its framework, Bailey pushed back, saying the focus must be on managing the journey back to target and ensuring the public believes in the legitimacy of the Bank’s objective," says Munnelly.

"He also rejected the idea that raising the target to 3% would be an appropriate response to missed targets."

After voting to keep rates steady at 3.75% at the last meeting on 30 April, part of an 8-1 majority, Bailey noted that rising market interest rates had given the Bank some breathing room to assess whether another rate increase is needed in response to inflationary pressures linked to the conflict in Iran.

"For investors, the message was balanced but firm: the BoE is not rushing into another hike, but it is also not ready to declare victory on inflation."

n3.12pm: Is there a shift back from private to public markets?n

Staying on the US, but with potential read-across for markets on this side of the Atlantic, Anthropic’s and SpaceX's IPO filings (with OpenAI expected too) and Alphabet’s planned $80 billion equity raise, this is a strong signal of a shift back toward public markets as funding demands accelerate, says Michael Field, chief equity analyst at Morningstar.

"Last year the talk was about unicorns and the advantages of remaining private. This year that narrative has been turned on its head, most recently with announcements from Anthropic and Alphabet.

"It’s no coincidence that Anthropic is now filing for an IPO at the same time as OpenAI and SpaceX. At the same time, Alphabet is reversing its long-held capital allocation policy of buying back shares and issuing $80 billion in equity.

"The game has changed. These companies are now burning through cash to win the AI race and public equity is the cheapest source available, particularly in a rising interest rate environment.

"Not only are these businesses injecting capital, they’re doing it at exactly the right time.

"We’ve seen investor sentiment change with the sell-off in AI-related stocks during 2025. This was a warning that just because the fundamentals look positive, investors’ attitudes towards these firms can quickly shift."

n2.52pm: Wall St opens in redn

US stocks have opened with wheels spinning but the4 big three indices not going anywhere much.

The Dow is down almost 0.2%, while broader S&P 500 is down less than 10 points or 0.1%, with the Nasdaq even flatter.

Back in London, the FTSE is also pretty much flat now.

n1.53pm: easyJet and Rosebank notesn

Some broker notes worth flagging from today.

Shares in easyJet have been sent higher after Citi estimated that the airline's aeroplane fleet could be worth 770-890p, around double the recent share price even after the.

The US investment bank said the company's aircraft assets should help underpin the share price as takeover speculation continues, following the Castlelake announcement that it was exploring a potential bid.

Rosebank Industries, the industrial turnaround vehicle run by former Melrose executives, is up 4% after attracting 'buy' ratings from both Jefferies and Citi as the two banks resume coverage following the completion of its acquisitions of MW Components and CPM, transforming the company from a single-asset story into a group of three US industrial businesses.

The twin acquisitions, totalling more than $3 billion, add a manufacturer of engineered fasteners, springs and precision metal products, and a global supplier of process equipment and aftermarket solutions for food, feed and energy markets. They join ECI, the electrical components business Rosebank acquired last year.

Elsewhere, Panmure Liberum has initiated on Rentokil Initial, seeing the pest control giant as poised for a recovery after years of disruption linked to its acquisition of US business Terminix.

Analyst Joe Brent expects new chief executive Mike Duffy to improve operational performance, accelerate growth and close the profitability gap.

n12.59pm: Net zero = £100bnn

Britain's net zero economy now contributes more than £100 billion a year to economic output and supports 1.1 million jobs across the country, according to new research from CBI Economics.

The report found that businesses involved in activities ranging from renewable energy and electric vehicles to home insulation and clean technology generated £105 billion of gross value added last year, equivalent to almost 4% of UK economic output.

A pipeline of around £455 billion of potential investment in energy infrastructure was identified, prompting the CBI to describe the sector as a growing economic "powerhouse".

Louise Hellem, the CBI's chief economist, said clean power and decarbonisation were already a significant part of Britain's industrial base and warned the UK "cannot afford to step back" from an industry with substantial future growth potential.

Workers in the sector earn an average salary of more than £43,000 a year, around 11% above the national average.

n12.23pm: FTSE still lagging Continental peers, US futures in redn

The FTSE and other European markets have essentially been moving sideways since 9.30am this morning.

The London index is still lagging, with the pan-European Stoxx 600 0.7% firmer.

This contrasts with a weaker outlook on Wall Street, where futures point to a softer open.

Dow Jones futures are down 214 points or 0.4%, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures slipped 0.2% and 0.1%.

In the background, oil prices are down, with Brent falling 1.3% to $93.70 a barrel and US WTI similarly lower at $90.93.

n11.41am: BP backs Blanc to lead search for another chairn

BP has backed Amanda Blanc to lead the search for a new chair despite concerns from some investors over her role in appointing Albert Manifold, who was ousted last week after only eight months in the job.

The Financial Times has reported that several shareholders had questioned whether Blanc, BP's senior independent director, should oversee the process after leading the search that resulted in Manifold's appointment last year.

However, interim chair Ian Tyler said in a statement: “At the request of the board, Amanda Blanc will lead the search process for BP’s next chair. As in previous searches, this will be a rigorous process involving the entire board and the final decision will reflect our collective view.”

n11.13am: Marvell flies on Huang commentsn

Marvell Technology shares have rocketed almost 27% higher in pre-market trading in New York, after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared it as the "next trillion-dollar company".

Huang was speaking on stage at the Computex conference in Taipei, in a conversation with Marvell CEO Matthew Murphy.

He flagged Marvell's key role in providing the custom chips and high-speed interconnects required to scale massive, distributed artificial intelligence data centres.

Reports stated that the comment was "made in a lighthearted tone".

n10.57am: Warning for social media short sellersn

Short seller Andrew Left, best known as Citron Research, especially to investors in companies including Tesla, Palantir, Tilray, CV Sciences and Namaste Technologie, has been found guilty by a court in LA last night.

The ruling was that Left used social media posts to illegally manipulate stocks, causing price movements that he would quickly profit from. He was convicted on 13 of the 17 counts.

Prosecutors said he earned more than $20 million from such trades from 2018 to 2023.

Bloomberg calls it "a landmark case" that has been "closely watched by short sellers worried they could come under fire, too".

Short sellers such as Left typically build short positions in companies, ie betting that the shares will fall, then issue research reports detailing arguments why they think the company is no good.

“This sets a dangerous precedent for short sellers, who now fear that publishing negative research and exiting trades quickly will trigger federal audits and market manipulation charges,” Yale accounting professor Frank Zhang told Bloomberg.

Left plans to appeal the decision, saying, "The jury got it wrong." Business Insider reports that Left's lawyer has filed a motion for a mistrial due to an outdated verdict form used by the jury.

n10.20am: Gold price surge changes weighting for central bank reservesn

Gold has overtaken US Treasuries as world’s top reserve asset, the European Central Bank says, based on its calculations.

The precious metal made up 27% of total official foreign reserves at the end of 2025, the ECB says, compared to 22% for US Treasuries and the euro at 15%.

A year earlier, gold was 20% of reserves and US government bonds stood at 25%.

Geopolitical tensions are driving strong central bank demand for gold, says ECB president Christine Lagarde adding more poetically that "forces of fragmentation are becoming more pronounced."

But the ECB notes that price changes are the key factor, with the gold price surging around 60% in nominal terms last year and 30% in 2024, "which mechanically increases the share of gold in total official foreign reserves".

"Correcting for such valuation effects by using the gold price at the end of 2023, the share of the euro (16%) remains at par with the share of gold (16%), while the share of US Treasuries continues to be markedly higher (26%).

"Going forward, gold faces limitations as an official reserve asset compared with the major fiat currencies: its price is volatile, it is not remunerated and, when held in physical form, it is costly to store. More importantly, the supply of gold is not fully elastic and does not adjust seamlessly to shifts in international demand for liquidity."

n9.40am: BoE data just outn

Fresh Bank of England data points to a resilient housing market, even as borrowing growth cooled in April.

Mortgage approvals rose to 65,900, ahead of expectations at around 62K and up from a revised 63,980 in March and an average of around 63,100 over the past six months.

It was the highest level of approvals since January last year.

Net mortgage lending slowed sharply to £4.4 billion from a revised £6.8 billion the previous month, worse than the £5.2 billion consensus forecast.

This came as the ‘effective’ interest rate – the actual interest paid – on newly drawn mortgages increased to 4.08% from 4.03% in March. The rate on the outstanding stock of mortgages was 3.92% in April, down from 3.93% in March.

Net lending to individuals eased to £6.2 billion from £8 billion.

Consumer credit growth also moderated, with households borrowing an additional £1.9 billion in April, in line with March and the past six-month average.

n9.27am: FTSE adds to gainsn

The FTSE 100 has recouped around two thirds of yesteerday's loss, after almost an hour and a half of trading.

Miners are the key driving force, housebuilders and retailers are the most represented sectors on the leaderboard.

Falls for BAT and oil giants are resulting in the London index lagging mainland European peers, with the German DAX up 1.4% and others around the Continent all up over 1%.

Market analyst Neil Wilson at Saxo notes that the Footsie is advancing despite some losses for heavyweights "as advancers outnumbered decliners 4:1".

He adds that "headlines around Iran grab the steering wheel but the AI trade remains the engine for stock markets", with Nvidia powering Wall Street's gains overnight, as well as plans for an Anthropic IPO and Alphabet's $80 billion AI investment.

On the Stoxx 600, tech companies are in the lead, topped by Dutch technology investor Prosus after it was given more time to sell down its stake in Delivery Hero.

STMicroelectronics is up 8.2% as it raised its data centre revenue target to $1 billion, driven by strong AI demand and expanded capacity.

n9.09am: Euro inflation risesn

Eurozone inflation rose to 3.2% last month, its highest level since September 2023.

It adds to expecations that the European Central Bank could lift interest rates soon.

Euro-area consumer price inflation climbed from 3% in April, Eurostat data shows, driven by an increase in energy inflation to 10.9% in May, offsetting a fall in food, alcohol & tobacco inflation to 2.0%.

n8.46am: Elementis up, Chemring downn

One of the top risers on the FTSE 250 is Elementis, up 6.2% after completing the sale of its pharmaceutical manufacturing business to AB Foods and confirming a share buyback.

The specialty chemicals group said it had completed the disposal for an enterprise value of €34.3 million and expects to receive net cash proceeds of about €30 million ($35 million), all of which will be returned to shareholders via the buyback.

Elementis said the disposal would improve adjusted operating margins both at group level and within its personal care division, while also reducing future capital requirements.

Elsewhere, Chemring is down 5% after its results.

Analyst Andrew Humphrey at Peel Hunt says that with management’s expectations for the year unchanged, guiding to 70% of FY26 operating profit in the second half, this would support an full-year adjusted operating profit outturn of £81.7 million, which compares to his forecvast of £81.2 million and a wider City consensus of £80.8 million.

"We suspect our forecasts did not fully capture the import of comments made in the AGM statement in February, highlighting a slower start to the year at the US countermeasures business (Kilgore). The UK also remains slower than anticipated, given delays to the Defence Investment Plan, though this should be fully reflected in expectations, and we view the margin performance (40bps higher YoY) as strong."

He concludes: "Trading momentum is strong, though we may not see meaningful progress in the share price until short-term budget issues affecting Roke have been resolved."

n8.12am: FTSE 100 opens modestly highern

The FTSE 100 has opened 26 points higher at 10,365, with miners at the forefront.

Precious metals miner Fresnillo is prominent for the second day in a row, up 3.7%, while copper-focused Antofagasta is not far behind at 3%, Anglo American up 2.75%, gold digger Endeavour at 2.6% and Rio Tinto up 2.25%.

Perenially volatile names such as retailers Kingfisher and JD Sports, bookmaker Entain and Metlen Energy & Metals are also among the top risers.

Losers are led by BAT, which is down 3% after its half-year update.

Oil giants BP and Shell are down 1.7% and 0.95% after oil prices retreated.

n7.59am: Chemring backs outlook despite profits dipn

Defence technology specialist Chemring has reported lower first-half profits but a record order book, and said it remained on track to meet full-year expectations.

The maker of chaff, energetics and sensors posted revenue up 7% to £237.3 million for the six months to 30 April, while underlying operating profit fell 8% to £24.5 million as the underlying operating margin narrowed to 10.3% from 11.9%.

The decline reflected weaker profitability in its Sensors & Information division, where lower utilisation rates and a less favourable business mix weighed on performance.

Trading was said to have improved during the second quarter.

n7.45am: Anthropic files for IPO and other AI newsn

A major tech story overnight was that Anthropic, the maker of the Claude AI models, submitted draft registration for an IPO this autumn.

This would see it leapfrog ChatGPT developer OpenAI, which is also expected to file for an IPO in the coming days.

Also yesterday, Google owner Alphabet announced plans to raise $80 billion to fund its AI plans, one of the biggest equity issues deals in history, including a $10 billion investment from Berkshire Hathaway.

n7.33am: BAT guides to lower end of outlookn

British American Tobacco says revenue and profit will come in towards the bottom end of its guidance for the 2026 financial year as continued declines in traditional cigarette volumes are offset by stronger-than-expected growth in nicotine pouches and vaping products.

For its New Categories arm, the tobacco group upgraded its forecast to "mid-teens" percentage revenue growth in both the first half and full year, up from a previous forecast for "low double-digit" growth.

For the group overall, BAT maintained its guidance for revenue growth of 3-5%, adjusted profit growth of 4-6% and adjusted diluted earnings per share growth of 5-8% in 2026, though it expects results to come in at the lower end of those ranges.

Furthermore, profits growth is expected to be weighted towards the second half of the year.

n7.17am: FTSE 100 called higher as Trump helps oil retreatn

The FTSE 100 is set to claw back some losses on Tuesday morning trading, as oil prices simmered down on Donald Trump's soothing news that Hezbollah and Israel had agreed to "stop shooting" at each other.

London's blue-chip index has been called around 40 points higher on the futures market after ending the previous session down 70.33 points at 10,338.95.

The expected rebound mirrors moves elsewhere in Europe, while investors also took some encouragement from a modestly positive session on Wall Street overnight.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 0.4%, the S&P 500 added 0.3% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged 0.1% higher, marking fresh record highs for all three indices as Nvidia jumped more than 6% after unveiling a new superchip for PCs.

Oil prices, which have become the market’s main barometer of Middle East geopolitical risk, eased back this morning after a volatile 24 hours.

Brent crude traded around $94.30 a barrel, down from a brief surge above $97 yesterday when Iran said it was suspending talks with the US unless Israeli attacks on Lebanon and Gaza ceased.

Ipek Ozkardeskaya, market analyst at Swissquote, said traders were struggling to keep pace with a rapidly changing picture in the Middle East.

“When you think that the geopolitical headlines could not get worse, they do,” she says, noting conflicting messages from Washington and Jerusalem over the prospects for a de-escalation in Lebanon, as Benjamin Netanyahu contradicted the US President by saying that fighting in Southern Lebanon would continue. "It’s a mess," says Ozkardeskaya.

Trump countered the news from Tehran, claiming talks with Iran were continuing "at a rapid pace" and telling reporters that he thinks a ceasefire agreement will be completed "over the next week".

The key issue for oil markets remains the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, says Ozkardeskaya, though risks to prices remain "two-sided". She said crude could move back above $100 a barrel if peace efforts stall, while a lasting end to the fighting could pull prices closer to $80.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 1, 2026) – Rokmaster Resources Corp. (TSXV: RKR) (OTCQB: RKMSF) (FSE: 1RR1) ("Rokmaster" or "the Company") provides an update on exploration activities within the Nechako Project.

Crews will soon mobilize to complete a detailed Induced Polarization Survey ("IP Survey") over several porphyry Cu-(Mo±Au) targets on the Mystery Property. This survey will sharpen targets planned for drill testing during the fall. The IP Survey will be conducted by SJ Geophysics and is planned to be a pole-dipole active array capable of investigating chargeability and resistivity to depths of 300-400 m (Figure 2).

The current targets include the B2 and B3 zones which exhibit elevated copper, molybdenum, and gold in rock sample results associated with strongly potassic-altered andesite hosting a dense stockwork of pyrite-chalcopyrite-biotite-magnetite veinlets. The B2 Zone is exposed along a creek for approximately 200 m. The surrounding area, including ~800 m toward the B3 Zone, is covered by glacial till so the IP Survey will greatly assist in planning specific drill targets in this area.

Approximately 2.5 km to the northeast, an IP Survey is planned to investigate a coincident soil and magnetic anomaly in the northern portion of the Ford Anomaly area. This area is underlain by rhyolite belong to the Kasalka Group which displays strong phyllic alteration over a broad area including intense sericite replacement and disseminated pyrite. Hyperspectral work completed in the previous years indicates that higher-temperature paragonite occurs below a certain elevation in the Ford Anomaly area inferring that potential exists at depth.

Another ~1.1 km to the north of the Ford Anomaly, the planned IP Survey will test an area of stockwork quartz veining in sericite- and potassic-altered porphyritic monzonite. A Re-Os age dating study1 of molybdenite mineralization in this area indicates that it falls within the range of the productive late Cretaceous Bulkley Intrusive Suite that is related to porphyry systems in the region such as the Huckleberry, Ox, Seel, and Poplar Deposits.

Field work on the Fox-Coconut Property is planned for early June to further explore the high-grade gold and silver mineralization on that Property. Geochemical results from the drill program completed on the Hanson Property in April 2026 are expected soon and will be reported promptly afterwards.

John Mirko, President and CEO, comments:

"The IP Survey planned for the Mystery Property will capture valuable subsurface geophysical data to refine several compelling targets on the Property. We are excited to continue advancing the Nechako Project throughout 2026 and are fully funded to complete the programs as currently planned. This region and its underlying geology represent an exceptional setting for the discovery of significant porphyry copper mineralization – an opportunity that Rokmaster is actively pursuing."

Nechako Project

The Mystery Property is a part of the Company's Nechako Project, which totals 26,704 hectares (267 km2) across three properties located in west-central British Columbia. The Nechako Project features multiple exploration targets for significant porphyry Cu-(Mo±Au) mineralization and high-grade Au-Ag vein systems in the southern portion of the productive Stikine terrane (Figure 1). Rokmaster has advanced the Nechako Project over several years, systematically vectoring towards robust drill targets across its three drill permitted properties.

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – May 28, 2026) – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF) (OTCQB: HBEIF) (FSE: 1QA) (Tradegate: 1QA) ("Honey Badger" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has appointed JDS Energy & Mining Inc. ("JDS") to be the lead author of an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") and updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") on its Prairie Creek Mine ("PC Silver Mine"), located in the Northwest Territories of Canada. Honey Badger Silver expects this PEA and updated MRE to be completed in Q3 2026 and believes the studies could represent major technical and economic catalysts for the Company.

The PC Silver Mine is one of the world's highest-grade undeveloped silver-zinc-lead projects and benefits from substantial historical infrastructure and development work, including:

approximately 5 km of underground development;
an existing mill and surface infrastructure;
an airstrip;
advanced permitting;
agreements with Indigenous governments associated with the project area and transportation corridor; and,
a $25 Million grant from the Government of Canada under the National Trade Corridor Fund.

The Company believes current metal prices and updated technical assumptions may have the potential to materially enhance project economics relative to prior studies.

The last MRE was completed by Global Mineral Resources Services in October 2021[1], and outlined a measured and indicated resource of 9.8 million tonnes grading 139 g/t Ag, 9.7% Zn, and 8.8% Pb and an inferred resource of 6.4 million tonnes grading 150 g/t Ag, 12.9% Zn, and 6.7% Pb using a US$20/oz silver price, a US$1.15/lb zinc price and a US$1.00/lb lead price. Current spot prices of the metals are US$79/oz Ag, US$1.60/lb Zinc and US$0.91/lb lead.

Along with JDS Mining, several well-known, experienced, and specialized consultants will be providing input to the study, as shown below.

Consultant	Expertise
Global Mineral Resource Services	Geology and Mineral Resource Estimation
Knight Piésold	Waste and water management, environment and permitting
Giffen Consulting	Process and Infrastructure
T Engineering	Underground mine backfill

Ron Halas, Chief Operating Officer commented: "Given the rise in the price of silver and other metals since the 2021 report, combined with the many project advancements completed by prior operators, the time is right to update the MRE and evaluate the current economics of this world-class asset. We believe the updated studies will help better demonstrate the strategic importance and economic potential of the PC Silver Mine. JDS is an excellent choice given its extensive underground mine development and northern Canadian project experience. We are looking forward to working with this team of consultants to advance the PC Silver Mine through these studies and ultimately toward production."

Chad Williams, Executive Chairman said, "We are eager to initiate these updated technical studies. The Company believes current precious and base metal prices have the potential to materially improve project economics relative to prior studies. Importantly, the updated MRE and PEA will be based on historical technical reports and prior drilling completed on the project. The studies are not currently expected to incorporate potential future upside associated with critical mineral opportunities, including germanium and tungsten, nor new technology, which Honey Badger intends to continue evaluating. We believe the PC Silver Mine represents a rare opportunity to redevelop a high-grade strategically important silver-zinc-lead project in a Tier-1 mining jurisdiction with significant existing infrastructure already in place."

Lynn Lake Gold District

Alamos Gold's Lynn Lake Gold Project, comprising the Gordon, MacLellan, Linkwood, and BT deposits, hosts combined Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves of 3.436 million ounces of gold at 1.25 g/t Au contained within 85.4 million tonnes, with additional Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 0.885 million ounces of gold at 1.27 g/t Au contained within 21.7 million tonnes, and Inferred Mineral Resources of 0.308 million ounces of gold at 0.80 g/t Au contained within 11.9 million tonnes.

The Lynn Lake Gold Project, currently under construction, is expected to average 186,000 ounces over its initial 10 years with total production estimated at three million ounces over the life-of-mine. Initial production is expected to commence in the first half of 2029. The Last Hope Gold Project is located approximately 10 km southeast of Alamos Gold's Linkwood and BT deposits.

The information regarding Alamos Gold's Lynn Lake Gold Project is taken from publicly available sources and has not been independently verified by 55 North Mining Inc. or its Qualified Person.

About 55 North Mining Inc.

55 North Mining Inc. is a Canadian exploration and development company advancing its 100% owned high-grade Last Hope Gold Project. The 2021 NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate ("MRE") for the Last Hope Gold Deposit is 71,100 ounces of Indicated gold resources at 5.41 g/t Au contained within 0.4 million tonnes and 273,800 ounces of Inferred gold resources at 5.48 g/t Au contained within 1.5 million tonnes.

Honey Badger Silver (TUF.V) on Wednesday detailed its three primary near-term strategic priorities at its flagship Prairie Creek Silver Mine (PC) Silver Mine in the Northwest Territories.nnThe company plans to progress on site access infrastructure, on refurbishment and advancement of existing mill infrastructure and drilling and resource expansion. Honey Badger, in parallel with these operational priorities, intends to continue evaluating opportunities to reduce project risk and minimize shareholder dilution through potential government funding programs, strategic partnerships, debt financing, non-silver royalty structures, and concentrate marketing initiatives, it said.nnIts primary financial objective is to maximize the net present value of the PC Silver Mine on a per share basis, it said. nn"Major factors that could lead to a higher net present value are: bringing future expected free-cash flows closer to the present, adding mine life, lowering capital costs, de-risking, and lowering operating costs which in our case may come from critical metal by-product credits," said the company in a statement.nnShares of the company were last seen down $0.06 to $1.11 on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – May 27, 2026) – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF) (OTCQB: HBEIF) (FSE: 1QA) (Tradegate: 1QA) ("Honey Badger" or the "Company") is pleased to outline its three primary near-term strategic priorities at its flagship Prairie Creek Silver Mine ("PC Silver Mine") located in the Northwest Territories, Canada.

The Company's primary financial objective is to maximize the net present value of the PC Silver Mine on a per share basis. Major factors that could lead to a higher net present value are: bringing future expected free-cash flows closer to the present, adding mine life, lowering capital costs, de-risking, and lowering operating costs which in our case may come from critical metal by-product credits.

This work will be done as quickly, but also as conscientiously, as possible. Honey Badger will continue working collaboratively with Indigenous Governments, Parks Canada, the Government of the Northwest Territories and other regulators as part of the ongoing development process.

Chad Williams, Executive Chairman of Honey Badger Silver commented, "Management and the Board are aligned around a clear near-term operating strategy to add value to our PC Silver Mine. We believe the PC Silver Mine is one of the most compelling high-grade silver redevelopment projects in the world. This is an opportunity for us to demonstrate the quality and scale of the asset. We acknowledge and appreciate the substantial work already completed at the PC Silver Mine by previous operators over many decades. To maximize the benefits of our efforts, the activities listed below will also be coordinated with the world-class experts that will provide an updated economic study and a new mineral resource estimate for the PC Silver Mine."

Mr. Williams continued "The PC Silver Mine is undoubtedly Honey Badger's main focus. However, the Company will also conduct activities at certain of its other promising silver projects in the near term. Details on those will be discussed in future releases."

Priority Near-Term Activities at the PC Silver Mine

The following are summaries intended to highlight our top three operating priorities. The Company will provide details and updates regarding these activities on an ongoing basis.

1. Progressing on Site Access Infrastructure

Demonstrating progress on bringing the PC Silver Mine closer to production is a priority.

A key component is initiating tangible work on the future all-season road.

Planned activities are:

upgrades and preparation work along portions of the existing transportation corridor;
next-stage authorization conditions for construction;
and mobilization planning and logistical preparations intended to accelerate future development activities.

The Company believes continued advancement of transportation infrastructure will:

reduce long-term project risk;
improve logistics and operating flexibility;
lessen future development timelines;
and further demonstrate project momentum to Indigenous Governments and potential strategic/funding partners.

2. Refurbishment and Advancement of Existing Mill Infrastructure

Demonstrating the operating capability of our existing infrastructure is a priority.

The Company plans to initiate phased refurbishment of the existing mill and surface infrastructure at the PC Silver Mine.

Honey Badger believes the project's substantial existing infrastructure represents an important strategic advantage relative to many other mining projects anywhere in the world.

Over time, these activities are expected to support:

further technical de-risking;
operational readiness planning;
and future development flexibility

3. Drilling and Resource Expansion

Growing the silver and critical minerals resource at the PC Silver Mine is a priority.

Honey Badger intends to pursue underground/surface drilling programs focused on:

resource expansion and category upgrading by extending known mineralized zones;
and evaluation of broader district-scale exploration targets.

Existing core and outcrops will be sampled for germanium, tungsten and other strategic metals.

Management believes the project may possess important additional exploration upside beyond the currently defined mineralized areas. Details on our exploration program will be released soon.

Other Significant Corporate Activities

In parallel with these operational priorities, Honey Badger intends to continue evaluating opportunities to reduce project risk and minimize shareholder dilution through potential:

government funding programs;
strategic partnerships;
debt financing;
non-silver royalty structures;
and concentrate marketing initiatives.

Top Research Reports for Texas Instruments, Linde and BHP

The Zacks Research Daily presents the best research output of our analyst team. Today's Research Daily features new research reports on 16 major stocks, including Texas Instruments Inc., Linde plc and BHP Group Ltd., as well as two micro-cap stocks Landmark Bancorp, Inc. and Global Self Storage, Inc. The Zacks microcap research is unique as our research content on these small and under-the-radar companies is the only research of its type in the country.These research reports have been hand-picked from the roughly 70 reports published by our analyst team today.You can see all of today’s research reports here >>>Today's Featured Research ReportsTexas Instruments’ shares have outperformed the Zacks Semiconductor – General industry over the past six months (+95.2% vs. +30.2%). The company is benefiting from solid data center demand, which is boosting its prospects in the enterprise systems market. A sustained focus on expanding its product portfolio across the Analog and Embedded Processing segments helps capture market share.Texas Instruments’ deepening focus on internal manufacturing and advanced technology infusion is another positive. Its robust cash flows and aggressive shareholder return policies instill confidence in its long-term prospects.However, its overall growth might be impacted by a slow recovery in the industrial market as customers are cautiously spending amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties. Rising manufacturing costs and the growing tech war between the United States and China are other concerns. Our model estimates indicate that revenues are likely to witness a CAGR of 12.1% through 2026-2028.(You can read the full research report on Texas Instruments here >>>)Shares of Linde have outperformed the Zacks Chemical – Specialty industry over the past six months (+28.5% vs. +12.7%). The company is a leading industrial gas supplier serving energy, healthcare, manufacturing, metals and electronics markets through long-term contracts with minimum purchase commitments that support stable cash flows during downturns.LIN has a $9.9B project backlog, including $7.1B of long-term Sale of Gas projects, providing durable earnings visibility and double-digit returns. Management expects operating margins to expand above its traditional 40–60 basis-point range via cost controls, automation and AI-driven efficiency initiatives. LIN reported strong first-quarter 2026 earnings on higher pricing and incremental project start-ups.However, Linde faces pressure in EMEA from weak industrial activity, softer chemicals demand, geopolitical disruptions and policy uncertainty, which could reduce volumes, delay investments and weigh on profitability.(You can read the full research report on Linde here >>>)BHP’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Mining – Miscellaneous industry over the past six months (+61.8% vs. +39.1%). The company remains a high-quality diversified miner with leadership in iron ore and growing leverage to copper and potash, supported by low-cost operations and disciplined capital allocation. Recent updates point to resilient iron ore volumes despite weather disruption, strong execution at Escondida and Copper South Australia.BHP’s strategic shift toward future-facing commodities like copper and potash positions it well to benefit from global decarbonization and trends. Strong cash generation, efforts to lower debt and portfolio actions support funding flexibility.However, weak steel demand, commodity price volatility and cost pressures in parts of the footprint remain headwinds. Large project delivery and capital intensity at Jansen, along with the suspended nickel business and regulatory uncertainty in Australia, remain key risks.(You can read the full research report on BHP here >>>)Shares of Landmark Bancorp have gained +5.9% over the past six months against the Zacks Financial – Savings and Loan industry’s gain of +17.9%. This microcap company with a market capitalization of $170.37 million benefits from a diversified community banking franchise across Kansas and Missouri, supporting balanced exposure to residential, commercial, agricultural, and municipal lending markets.The company is strengthening profitability through disciplined deposit pricing, improved loan yields, and expansion in net interest margin, creating a more resilient earnings profile. Credit quality remains manageable with stable reserves and limited charge-offs despite modest increases in delinquencies. Capital levels and tangible book value continue to improve, supported by consistent earnings generation and a long history of dividend payments.Management is also enhancing funding flexibility by emphasizing core relationship deposits while reducing reliance on brokered funding. In addition, liquidity management and active securities portfolio positioning help mitigate interest-rate volatility.(You can read the full research report on Landmark Bancorp here >>>)Global Self Storage’s shares have gained +6.8% over the past six months against the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust – Other industry’s gain of +11.9%. This microcap company with a market capitalization of $59.51 million has its investment thesis centered on targeting underserved secondary and tertiary markets, where supply growth is more rational and competition is lower than in major metropolitan areas.Global Self Storage’s focus on operational efficiency, customer retention and technology-enabled revenue management has supported strong occupancy and recurring cash-flow generation. Growth opportunities remain tied to selective acquisitions, JVs and redevelopment initiatives that can expand earnings without significant development risk.Investors should monitor margin pressure from rising labor and property-tax costs, which have recently limited profitability. SELF’s small scale also increases sensitivity to localized fluctuations. Current valuation levels suggest the market is discounting concerns around scale and margins, though continued growth could support upside and dividends.(You can read the full research report on Global Self Storage here >>>)
