Maritime Resources Corp. (TSXV: MAE,OTC:MRTMD) (‘Maritime’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide an update for the Hammerdown Gold Project, located in the Baie Verte mining district of Newfoundland and Labrador (‘Hammerdown’), near the towns of King’s Point and Springdale, including its Pine Cove milling facility located near the towns of Baie Verte and Ming’s Bight.

Highlights:

  • Start of civil construction and earthworks at the Hammerdown Gold Project

  • Excavation and transportation of the historic ore pad to the Pine Cove mill

  • Strengthening of the technical and project management team

  • Funding received from provincial government for reagent technology pilot project

‘Activity at Hammerdown is ramping up with work crews focused on the civil earthworks to prepare the site for mine development, including overburden removal, site road and stockpile pad construction along with the water management systems. Through this work our site team was able to locate and excavate the original Richmont Mines ore pad which has been transported to our Pine Cove mill for processing,’ comments Garett Macdonald, President and Chief Executive Officer. ‘We have also made several key project management appointments and have established the procurement and hiring systems needed to execute the project and maximize benefits for the local communities. We would also like to recognize the funding received from the province to study an innovative technology that could help optimize reagent consumption in our process plant.’

Construction Early Works
Maritime has received the Certificate of Approval from the Pollution Prevention Division of the provincial Department of Environment and Climate Change for full mine construction and operation. Over the next few months civil construction will establish key infrastructure for mine development including access roads, water management features, the power line right of way and rock filled pads for the crushing plant, maintenance and administration facilities. As a brownfields mine site, Hammerdown benefits from existing road access and a large volume of blasted waste rock left over from the original mine development in 2000. The site contains no major watercourses or fish habitat, and is generally dry, with minimal overburden over the deposit, averaging 2-3 metres of glacial till.

Technical Team Appointments
The appointment of several key technical and project management personnel marks a positive step forward for the Company and Hammerdown. Recent additions to the Maritime team include:

  • Collin Ellison, Project Director. Collin has over 50 years experience in the mining industry, focusing on project development and operations. Former CEO, President and Director with Goldbelt Resources, Asian Mineral Resources and PMI Gold.

  • Billy Grace, Chief Mine Engineer. Former Manager of Technical Services with Newmont at the Musslewhite Mine in Ontario and General Manager with Aureus Gold in Nova Scotia.

  • Gregg Vickell, Senior Metallurgical Advisor. Gregg has more than 40 years experience in gold and base metals management and metallurgy including Mill Manager, Mill Superintendent, Chief Metallurgist and Operations Technical Services roles with a host of companies both in Canada and abroad. He has in depth experience with plant design, operations readiness, commissioning and process optimization.

  • Paolo Toscano, Technical Advisor – construction and engineering. Paolo recently served at Sr. Vice President Engineering and Construction for Calibre Mining at the Valentine Gold Project in Newfoundland and Labrador and has over 30 years of experience. Former Director of Projects for Alamos Gold.

Richmont Mines Historic Ore Pad
The Company’s mine geology team identified a volume of material left over from Richmont Mines when the mine closed in 2004. This material consists of broken rock from the former underground mining operation that was stockpiled on surface and transferred to highway trucks for delivery to the Nugget Pond mill. Crews have transported a portion of the existing stockpile material to the Company’s Pine Cove mill for mineral processing, providing an opportunity to test the material ahead of mine development. The remaining material is being used for construction of access roads and laydown on the Hammerdown site.

Via IBN IBN a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels.

 

The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Chairman Kal Malhi and CEO Paul Ténière of LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR,OTC:LFLRF) (OTCQB: LFLRF) , a Canadian exploration and development company focused on gold assets in Québec’s Abitibi region.

 

To begin the interview, Ténière outlined LaFleur Minerals’ strategy as a near-term gold producer.

 

‘We’re an interesting company in the fact that we have an advanced gold project in Québec’s Abitibi Gold Belt and a nearby permitted mill,’ he said. ‘That puts us in a strong position as a near-term gold producer.’

 

Malhi, who is also the founder of Bullrun Capital , then detailed how LaFleur acquired its flagship assets and how the company is positioned for rapid development.

 

‘Two years ago, I started looking at the opportunities in the gold mining sector. I didn’t want to go and acquire a grassroots project… but I did come across a bankruptcy,’ he explained. ‘We were able to win a bid on the Beacon Gold Mill, which Monarch had invested $20 million into upgrading. It’s fully permitted and ready to rock. We also acquired a nearby gold deposit called the Swanson Gold Deposit… We’ve turned that project into LaFleur Minerals. Now, with gold prices surging, the economics have changed phenomenally — and we may look at producing not just from our own property, but also from others in the region.’

 

Ténière closed by emphasizing LaFleur’s accelerated timeline and production-ready infrastructure.

 

‘We have a mining lease at Swanson, which allows us to get into production much faster than we could otherwise,’ he said. ‘With gold hitting over $3,000 an ounce, it makes a lot of these deposits very economically viable… It’s an exciting time to be in gold, and we’re in a great position to move quickly.’

 

Join IBN’s Stuart Smith for a conversation with LaFleur Minerals Chairman Kal Malhi and CEO Paul Ténière on restarting gold production in Québec, scaling a district-scale asset, and accelerating into the gold producer category.

  About LaFleur Minerals Inc.  

 

 LaFleur Minerals Inc. is focused on the development of district-scale gold projects in the Abitibi Gold Belt near Val-d’Or, Québec. The company’s mission is to advance mining projects with a laser focus on its resource-stage Swanson Gold Project and the Beacon Gold Mill, which have significant potential to deliver long-term value.

 

The Swanson Gold Project is approximately 16,600 hectares (166 km 2 ) in size and includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining. LaFleur has recently consolidated a large land package along a major structural break that hosts the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin gold deposits and several other showings which make up the Swanson Gold Project. The Swanson Gold Project is easily accessible by road with a rail line running through the property allowing direct access to several nearby gold mills, further enhancing its development potential.

 

 LaFleur Minerals’ fully-refurbished and permitted Beacon Gold Mill is capable of processing over 750 tonnes per day and is being considered for processing mineralized material at Swanson and for custom milling operations for other nearby gold projects.

Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., an outspoken opponent of antisemitism, said Wednesday that those who refuse to speak out against the heinous acts Hamas perpetrated in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 ‘have no business’ claiming to be humanitarians.

‘If you refuse to condemn Hamas for the murder, maiming, mutilation, rape, torture, and abduction of thousands of Jews and Israelis on October 7, then you have no business calling yourself a humanitarian,’ Torres wrote on X. 

‘A humanitarianism that devalues Jewish life is no humanitarianism at all, for it has been hollowed out by antisemitism,’ he added.

The congressman has been a strong voice of support for Israel.

‘The singular stumbling block to ending the war is the terrorist organization that barbarically began it: Hamas. Scapegoating Israel is so second nature to the international community that Hamas’ role in precipitating and perpetuating the war has been all but forgotten,’ Torres wrote on X earlier this month.

In another post on X this month he opined that ‘Antisemitism is the deadliest disease ever to afflict the human heart.’

In a post last month, he asserted, ‘If Israel is the sole country in the Middle East—indeed the world—for which you reserve the label ‘apartheid’—then your use of the term is probably propagandistic rather than principled and your purpose is not constructive criticism but the destructive delegitimation of Israel as a Jewish State.’

Rep. Torres says Biden Admin made

Torres has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since early 2021.

Walker Lane Resources Ltd. (TSX – V: WLR) (F r ankfurt:6YL ) (‘WLR’ o r t h e ‘ Comp a ny’) is pleased to announce, further to its news releases of June 10, 2025, that it has received TSX Venture Exchange approval to close the non-brokered private placement (the ‘ Private Placement ‘). On July 23, 2025, the Company issued 2,508,335 non-flow through Units (each a ‘ NFT Unit ‘) at a price of $0.12 per NFT Unit, for gross proceeds of $301,000, and 607,143 flow-through Units (each a ‘ FT Unit ‘) at a price of $0.14 per FT Unit, for gross proceeds of $85,000, for aggregate gross proceeds of $386,000. Each NFT Unit is composed of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a ‘ NFT Warrant ‘). Each FT Unit is composed of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a ‘ FT Warrant ‘), each NFT Warrant and each FT Warrant are exercisable for two (2) years at $0.16 per common share.

 

An insider of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 1,178,571 Units, composed of 750,000 NFT Units and 428,571 FT Units. Such participation was considered to be a ‘related party transaction’ as this term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions (‘ MI 61-101 ‘). The Company relied on the exemption from valuation requirement and minority approval pursuant to subsection 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, for the insider participation in the Offering, as the securities do not represent more than 25% of the Company’s market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.

 

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale of FT Units to incur ‘Canadian exploration expenses’ and ‘flow through mining expenditures’ as these terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and, in particular, the Company’s exploration program at its Amy and Silver Hart Properties in the Rancheria Silver District, (Yukon/British Columbia), and potentially limited activities at Logjam (Yukon). Such proceeds will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date not later than December 31, 2025, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of gross proceeds raised from the issue of FT Units. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of NFT units for its properties in Nevada including Tule Canyon, Cambridge and Silver Mountain and for general working capital. The FT and NFT Units issued under the financing are subject to a four-month hold.

Oil prices fell sharply during the second quarter, after reaching year-to-date highs early in the year.

Between January and the end of June, Brent shed 18.26 percent from US$81.69 to US$66.77. West Texas Intermediate made a similar decline falling 16.94 percent from US$78.86 to US$65.50, over the same time period.

The contraction was largely attributed to OPEC+ easing production cuts and increasing output.

Global supply was further bolstered by China’s strong import volumes and rising domestic output, giving refiners room to delay purchases and adding to a mild US inventory build, both of which added downward pressure.

Conversely, seasonal demand from the US summer driving season and solid Q2 GDP growth in China offered some support.

Despite that backdrop, the five top-performing oil and gas stocks on the TSX and TSXV have seen share price growth over Q2 2025. All year-to-date performance and share price data was obtained on July 16, 2025, using TradingView’s stock screener, and oil and gas companies with market caps above C$10 million at that time were considered.

1. Falcon Oil & Gas (TSXV:FO)

Year-to-date gain: 43.75 percent
Market cap: C$127.55 million
Share price: C$0.115

Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, Falcon Oil & Gas is an international oil and gas company incorporated in BC, Canada. The company specializes in the exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas assets, with interests in assets in Australia, South Africa and Hungary.

On January 24, Falcon issued its first corporate update of 2025, announcing the launch of a well stimulation campaign for two wells for the Shenandoah South pilot project in the Beetaloo Sub-Basin, located in Australia’s Northern Territory.

The company has a 22.5 interest in the Beetaloo joint venture, with Tamboran Resources (NYSE:TBN,ASX:TBN) owning the remaining 77.5 percent.

Falcon’s share price spiked several times in June, reaching a year-to-date high of C$0.14 on June 17, which it maintained through late June. The stock movement coincided with Beetaloo updates, including “stellar” flow test results on June 17.

“The IP30 flow rate results announced today of 7.2 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d), are truly stellar and marks another major data point in the Beetaloo Sub-basin again demonstrating that it compares to the best shale wells in the United States,” CEO Philip O’Quigley wrote in the press release.

2. Imperial Oil (TSX:IMO)

Year-to-date gain: 25.67 percent
Market cap: C$57.37 billion
Share price: C$112.70

Calgary-based Imperial Oil is a prominent Canadian energy company involved in the exploration, production, refining and marketing of petroleum products. With a history spanning over 140 years, Imperial operates diverse assets across Canada, including oil sands, conventional crude oil and natural gas assets.

On January 31, Imperial released its Q4 2024 results, reporting an estimated net income of C$1.23 billion in Q4 2024, slightly down from C$1.24 billion in Q3. The decline was attributed to lower price realizations, partly offset by higher production and improved refinery utilization in the Downstream segment.

On May 2, the company announced a Q2 2025 dividend of C$0.72 payable on July 1.

Imperial shares reached a year-to-date high of C$113.05 on July 13. The rally occurred after Scotiabank raised its share price target for Imperial from C$100 to C$110 on July 11, citing stronger refining margins and earnings outlook.

3. MEG Energy (TSX:MEG)

Year-to-date gain: 10.07 percent
Market cap: C$6.7 billion
Share price: C$26.35

MEG is an energy company solely focused on in-situ thermal oil production in the southern Athabasca oil region of Alberta, Canada. Utilizing innovative enhanced oil recovery projects, including steam-assisted gravity drainage extraction methods, the company aims to increase oil recovery responsibly while reducing carbon emissions.

In mid-May, Strathcona Resources (TSX:SCR) made an unsolicited C$4.1 billion offer for MEG, a move company executives quickly denounced.

In a subsequent press release on June 16, MEG called the offer “inadequate, opportunistic, and NOT in the best interests of MEG or its shareholders.”

Chairman of the Board James McFarland stated in the release, ‘A combination with Strathcona would expose shareholders to inferior assets and significant capital markets risks, including a C$6 billion overhang resulting from Waterous Energy Fund’s 51 percent ownership in the combined company.”

MEG has launched a strategic review and welcomed alternative bids from other companies.

Shares of MEG rose to a year-to-date high of C$26.14 on June 20, on the heels of the statement and alongside news that operations at the company’s Christina Lake operations in Alberta would resume at full capacity following wildfire interruptions.

4. Headwater Exploration (TSX:HWX)

Year-to-date gain: 3.75 percent
Market cap: C$1.65 billion

Headwater Exploration is a Canadian oil and gas company focused on developing high-quality assets in Alberta’s Clearwater play and low-decline natural gas in New Brunswick’s McCully Field.

In March, Headwater reported strong 2024 results, with annual production up 13 percent year-over-year to 20,310 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) and net income rising 20 percent to C$188 million.

Headwater released its Q1 2025 results and a company update in May, highlighting the receipt of TSX approval for a normal course issuer bid, allowing it to repurchase up to 10 percent of its public float over the next year.

Additionally the company reported record production of 22,066 boe/d during Q1 and adjusted funds flow of C$92.4 million. Net income for the period came in at C$50 million. The company declared a quarterly dividend of C$0.11 per share during Q1 and ended the quarter with no debt and C$63.6 million in adjusted working capital.

Company shares spiked to a year-to-date high of C$7.43 on January 9, and reached a Q2 high of C$7.22 on June 19, which coincided with a broader surge in the oil market.

Share price: C$5.57

Athabasca Oil is focused on developing thermal and light oil assets within Alberta’s Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The company has established a substantial land base with high-quality resources. Its light oil operations are managed through its private subsidiary, Duvernay Energy, in which the company holds a 70 percent equity interest.

On March 5, Athabasca Oil released its 2024 year end results, highlighting strong production and significant cash flow increases. The company averaged 36,815 boe/d during 2024, marking a 7 percent year-over-year increase.

Its Q1 2025 results released on May 7 reported further production growth, with average petroleum and natural gas production of 37,714 boe/d and average thermal oil output of 34,742 barrels per day.
