Supply Chain Safety: Western Powers Race for Domestic Mineral Sovereignty

Executive Summary

• GoldHaven Resources reported high‑grade tungsten (up to 6,550 ppm W), silver (2,370 g/t), lead (>20 %), zinc (3.8 %) and indium (334 ppm) from its 2025 surface program at the Magno Property in BC, confirming a large, zoned intrusion‑related mineral system.
• Hercules Metals disclosed a 420‑m interval averaging 0.60 % Cu and 6 g/t Ag (including 113 m @ 1.38 % Cu & 14 g/t Ag) from its Leviathan porphyry system in Idaho, with deeper high‑grade zones identified via MT surveys.
• Kodiak Copper filed a NI 43‑101 report showing an initial resource of 82.9 Mt indicated at 0.39 % CuEq (519 M lb Cu, 0.39 Moz Au) and inferred resources of 356.3 Mt at 0.32 % CuEq (1.889 B lb Cu, 1.28 Moz Au).
• Abitibi Metals reported a high‑grade copper‑gold intercept from its B26 Polymetallic Deposit in Québec: 12.83 % CuEq over 5 m (6.15 % Cu, 7.93 g/t Au) and 3.59 % CuEq over 19 m, extending the zone by ~250 m down‑plunge.
