Golconda Gold Ltd. (‘Golconda Gold’ or the ‘Company’) (TSX-V: GG; OTCQB: GGGOF) is pleased to announce that it has been included in the TSX Venture 50 list.
TSX Venture 50 is a ranking of the 50 top-performing companies on the TSX Venture Exchange over the last year. Companies are ranked based on three equally-weighted criteria of one-year share price appreciation, market capitalization increase, and Canadian consolidated trading value.
Ravi Sood, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented: ‘We are very pleased to see that the years of investment of both capital and human resources in our business are being recognized in our share price. While it has left us capital constrained for long periods of time, our focus on minimizing shareholder dilution is also now being rewarded. Despite Golconda Gold being 5th on the TSX Venture 50 in terms of price appreciation, we closed 2025 with fewer shares outstanding than we started the year with.’

NorthStar Gaming Holdings Inc. (TSXV: BET,OTC:NSBBF) (OTCQB: NSBBF) (‘NorthStar’ or the ‘Company’) today provided an update on its strategic priorities for 2026, focused on disciplined execution, effective capital allocation, and improving the Company’s profitability profile. All dollar figures are quoted in Canadian dollars.
The Company’s core strategy remains focused on growing and enhancing the NorthStar Bets online betting platform, which is known for its user-friendly interface, strong customer service, ongoing product innovation, and Canadian roots. Further enhancements to the core player experience and product functionality to drive retention and engagement will support the Company’s approach going forward.
In 2026, the Company is executing a disciplined operating plan to progress towards profitability through advertising efficiency, operating leverage, and cost management. These initiatives are intended to preserve cash resources, improve near-term returns on invested capital, and continue to enhance the quality and functionality of the Company’s product offerings.
As part of this plan, the Company has taken targeted actions to streamline general and administrative expenses. These actions are expected to result in approximately $3 million in annualized G&A cost savings, with the full financial impact expected to phase in over the course of 2026. In parallel, management continues to evaluate and implement additional operating and marketing efficiencies through oversight of discretionary advertising spend decisions and ongoing optimization of vendor and services contracts.
‘We are focused on taking deliberate, measured steps to position the Company for profitability,’ said Corey Goodman, Interim Chief Executive Officer of NorthStar. ‘The expected annualized G&A savings reflect measures that have largely been implemented. Building on these reductions, management is actively deploying additional efficiency and operating leverage initiatives across services, marketing spend, and cost of goods sold that are expected to materially enhance the Company’s EBITDA profile. In parallel, targeted investments in the product experience are being made to improve retention and increase the stability and predictability of revenue over time.’
Key initiatives supporting these objectives include:
Taken together, these initiatives are expected to have a meaningful impact on the Company’s EBITDA profile as cost efficiencies and operating leverage are realized over the course of 2026.
The Company expects to continue to incur a declining portion of cash expenditures associated with resources being phased out of the business during a transition period through 2026, with the revised expense run rate expected to be fully reflected beginning in 2027. The Company expects to record certain restructuring-related costs in connection with these initiatives, which would be recognized in accordance with applicable international financial reporting standards. Management continues to actively monitor liquidity and capital requirements as these initiatives are implemented. The Company’s capital structure and lender relationships remain an important part of its broader operating and capital planning process. The cost reduction initiatives are expected to strengthen the Company’s covenant position in 2026, and constructive discussions with its senior lender are ongoing.
Additional details regarding the Company’s financial outlook, liquidity and associated risks were described in its management’s discussion & analysis dated November 26, 2025, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.northstargaming.ca.

The annual Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention is returning this year from March 1 to 4, and it comes at a significant time for the global resource sector.
Precious metals prices are at historic highs, and countries around the world are increasingly recognizing the importance of the mining industry, especially when it comes to building out supply chains for critical minerals.
This year’s convention, which will bring together more than 27,000 attendees from over 125 countries, promises to touch on these key topics and more as diverse thought leaders take the stage.
Read on for her perspective on the industry and her tips and tricks for making the most of PDAC.
KR: Heading into PDAC, there is a positive outlook across the resource sector. Demand for minerals remains strong, and higher commodity prices supported investment through much of 2025. That momentum is showing up across the industry, with companies advancing work and actively assessing new opportunities.
At the same time, the global environment is becoming more competitive as countries work to secure the minerals needed to support their economies. That makes this an important time for the industry. The upcoming PDAC Convention provides the opportunity for leaders to step back from day-to-day tasks, assess where things are heading and have the kinds of conversations that help shape investment decisions.
KR: One of the clearest trends is the growing recognition of how essential minerals are to modern life, from infrastructure and manufacturing to emerging technologies.
That awareness continues to support interest in exploration and in building strong channels for future supply. Technology is also playing a larger role in how companies evaluate opportunities and make decisions, whether through robust geological data or improved digital tools that support exploration.
At the same time, responsible development remains front of mind. Companies understand that environmental performance and strong relationships with communities are fundamental to long-term success. Taken together, these trends point to an industry that is adapting and positioning itself for what comes next.
KR: PDAC 2026 will focus on what is needed to drive new investment and responsible mineral development. Capital markets, supply chains, technological innovation and the broader policy environment will all feature prominently because these aspects directly influence how work advances across the sector.
What makes the convention distinctive is the breadth of experience brought together across the event. Participants hear from industry leaders, technical experts and policymakers, but just as importantly, they have the opportunity to exchange perspectives with peers from around the world.
KR: PDAC 2026 will host more than 1,300 exhibitors, representing the largest trade show footprint in the convention’s history. That level of participation underscores the convention’s role as a global meeting place for the mineral industry, bringing together companies, governments and service providers to showcase expertise, connect with decision-makers and build relationships that support investment and growth.
The Keynote Program is a major draw, convening influential voices from across the global mining industry to discuss commodity outlooks, leadership, innovation and major discoveries.
We will hear from Gustavo Pimenta, CEO of Vale (NYSE:VALE), on accelerating the future of mining, and from Don Lindsay, director at BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) and retired CEO of Teck Resources (TSX:TECK.A,TECK.B,NYSE:TECK), on mining finance and leadership. Mikko Tepponen, digital officer at BHP, will explore how data and artificial intelligence are influencing decision-making, while Paul Bartos, former principal greenfields geologist at AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE:AU,JSE:ANG), will deliver the Discovery of the Year keynote.
Beyond the formal program, some of the most valuable moments happen in conversations throughout the convention, where introductions are made, partnerships take shape and new opportunities emerge.
KR: The pace of change across the resource sector is accelerating, and the decisions being made today will help shape supply for decades to come.
In that environment, opportunities to come together in person matter. PDAC creates space for thoughtful dialogue, informed debate and practical collaboration, the kinds of interactions that help turn ideas into action.
As global demand for minerals continues to grow, the importance of aligning investment, innovation and responsible development has never been clearer. PDAC remains focused on supporting those conversations and helping to position the industry for long-term success.
PDAC is widely regarded as a can’t-miss event for investors, executives and companies in the resource sector, and with over 1,300 exhibitors, this year’s convention is sure to be a dynamic experience.

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Monday (February 23) as of 9:00 p.m. UTC.
Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.
Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$64,409.84, down by 4.4 percent over the last 24 hours.
Bitcoin price performance, February 23, 2026.
Chart via TradingView.
XS.com senior market analyst Linh Tran suggested that the medium-term uptrend is limited without major catalysts. She predicts that Bitcoin will fluctuate between US$65,000 support and US$70,000 resistance; however, if current pressures persist, there is a risk of Bitcoin retesting the US$60,000 low, which could trigger a deeper decline.
Software stocks slipped alongside a further decline in crypto prices after Anthropic said its Claude platform can help ‘break the cost barrier to COBOL modernization,’ a high-level, compiled computer programming language that the firm says ‘runs in production every day, powering critical systems in finance, airlines, and government.’
Ether (ETH) was priced at US$1,860.34, down by 4.1 percent over the last 24 hours.
Some parts of the DeFi ecosystem have benefited from the chaos of Bitcoin’s sudden price drop in January, which liquidated billions of dollars’ worth of positions. A DeFi project called Yield Basis, which helps people trade Bitcoin and Ether through its liquidity pools, says it’s handled US$769 million in trades since the beginning of 2026, with more than half occurring after January 28, when crypto prices began swinging wildly.
According to a recent report, the protocol has collected US$12.15 million in fees since it launched its v2 pools in November 2025, compared to US$5.31 million worth of tokens it paid out as rewards, leaving about US$6.84 million in net profit for the users providing liquidity and holding the project’s tokens.
An open-source AI agent framework known as OpenClaw has inadvertently become the center of a crypto controversy. The project, built to power autonomous agents capable of browsing the web and executing complex tasks, was briefly rebranded amid a naming dispute before scammers launched a fake Solana-based token using its former branding.
The token’s market capitalization surged to roughly US$16 million within hours before collapsing more than 90 percent after developer Peter Steinberger disavowed any connection.
Steinberger publicly rejected the speculation, writing on X: “To all crypto folks: please stop pinging me, stop harassing me. I will never do a coin. Any project that lists me as coin owner is a SCAM.”
Tether’s USDT stablecoin is signaling liquidity strain reminiscent of the market turmoil following the FTX collapse.
According to CryptoQuant, the 60 day change in USDT supply has dropped to negative US$3 billion, which marks only the second time such a contraction has occurred. Bloomberg reported that USDT is on pace for its steepest monthly supply decline since December 2022, already shrinking by roughly US$1.5 billion in February alone.
Large-scale redemptions typically suggest institutions or major holders are pulling capital out of the crypto ecosystem rather than simply rotating between tokens. The last comparable contraction came as Bitcoin fell toward US$16,000 during the FTX crisis before stabilizing and beginning a multi-year recovery.

Red Mountain Mining Limited (ASX: RMX, US CODE: RMXFF, or “Company”), a Critical Minerals exploration and development company with an established portfolio in Tier-1 Mining Districts in the United States and Australia, is pleased to announce an update on the Company’s portfolio of high-quality Antimony projects in the United States.
Over the past six months, Red Mountain has moved decisively to acquire assets in Tier-1 regions in highly prospective antimony mineral districts in Montana, Utah and Idaho, USA, placing the Company in a strong strategic position as the US Government moves aggressively to secure domestic supply of Antimony which is classified as a Critical Metal by the United States and Australian Governments.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Thompson Falls Antimony Project, High-grade Antimony next to UAMY Antimony Smelter
Utah Antimony Project, Antimony Mining District
Exceptionally Strong Antimony results from Thompson Falls and further assays pending
Red Mountain acquired the Thompson Falls Antimony Project on 5 February1, next to the only operating antimony smelter in the USA, US Antimony Corporation’s (NYSE: UAMY; Market Cap ~AU$1.5 billion) Thompson Falls Smelter and UAMY’s Stibnite Hill Mine in Montana (Figure 1).
First-pass exploration of Red Mountain’s Thompson Falls Antimony Project, by the Company’s US field team, successfully located three historical underground mines and pit within the project area. Initial sampling of material from Eastern Star returned multiple samples with high antimony and gold results, with peak results of 36.5% Sb and 0.65g/t Au1 (Figure 1; Figure 2).
Samples collected from Eastern Star closely resemble the quartz-stibnite veins mined at UAMY’s Stibnite Hill deposit, ~7km east of Red Mountain’s Thompson Falls Project area, although these veins are not recorded as producing gold. Red Mountain’s field team also collected additional rock samples from the project area, with assay results expected this month.
