The same day, Grande Portage Resources confirmed that cemented rock-fill strength tests at its New Amalga gold project in Alaska met specifications for underground mining. On 7 July 2026, Grande Portage closed a C$6 million equity financing with Ocean Partners UK Limited to fund exploration and permitting.

Pinnacle Silver and Gold Corp. has made significant strides in continues to advance funding for its El Potrero gold-silver project in Durango, Mexico. Following the announcement of a non-brokered private placement to raise up to C$2.2 million, the company closed its first tranche on 9 August 2026, raising C$652,080. The proceeds are earmarked for project advancement, including the refurbishment of an existing processing plant and the rehabilitation of historic mine workings, with the goal of bringing the project into production by 2027. On 26 August 2026, Pinnacle Silver and Gold received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange to extend the closing date of its private placement to 26 September 2026. The offering consists of up to 20,000,000 units priced at C$0.11 each.
