Military Metals Ignites New Momentum at Historic West Gore Antimony Mine

Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI | OTCQB: MILIF), CEO Scott Eldridge announces new high-grade discoveries from the West Gore Antimony-Gold Project in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Recent sampling results returned 11.45% Sb and 21.5 g/t Au, marking a powerful step forward in the company’s mission to revive one of Canada’s most historic and strategically important mining districts.

Backed by the expertise of David Murray, Principal Consultant of Resourceful Geoscience Solutions, Military Metals is combining 21st-century exploration techniques with a 19th-century legacy, and it’s seemingly paying off.

As the Canadian and Nova Scotia governments intensify their support for critical minerals, and the U.S. federal government commits over $2 billion USD to North American antimony projects, West Gore stands at the intersection of opportunity and strategy.

A rediscovery in motion, and a reminder that sometimes, the next big discovery lies in our own backyard.

JPMorgan Launches $10 Billion Push to Fortify U.S. Supply Chains

JPMorgan is going all-in on America’s security future.

The bank has unveiled a $10 billion investment initiative to back U.S. companies in defense, energy, and advanced manufacturing, industries that form the foundation of national strength.

Jamie Dimon says it’s time for “more speed and investment” to rebuild America’s self-reliance in critical sectors, from rare earths to AI.

This decade-long strategy positions JPMorgan not just as a financial leader, but as a cornerstone in fortifying the nation’s industrial and technological independence.

A bold move, and one that could reshape how Wall Street serves Main Street.

The Big Short 2.0: Trump’s Tweet Triggers Crypto’s Collapse

The crypto market just endured one of its sharpest crashes of 2025, and it wasn’t a hack or a halving, it was politics.

After President Donald Trump announced plans for a 100% tariff on China, citing “hostile” rare-earth export controls, over $6 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated within hours. According to Coinglass, the total hit exceeded $7.4 billion in 24 hours, the largest wipeout since April.

Bitcoin plunged from $126,000 to around $112,000, Ethereum slumped 17%, and Dogecoin and XRP each crashed over 30%. Exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and OKX were overwhelmed with margin calls and forced liquidations.

Ravi Doshi, co-head of markets at FalconX, summed it up: “A renewed trade war between China and the U.S. erupted on Friday, causing uncertainty in markets and a rout in risk assets.”

Meanwhile, global investors fled to Treasuries and gold, pushing the S&P 500 and Nasdaq into sharp declines. Even the Federal Reserve’s dovish hopes couldn’t offset the geopolitical shock.

The drama unfolded just weeks before the APEC Summit in South Korea, where Trump said there’s “no reason” to meet Xi Jinping.

In today’s markets, one Truth Social post can erase billions, and remind us that crypto’s fate is now tied to the world stage.

The Fabric of Fortune: How Aritzia’s U.S. Strategy Paid Off

Aritzia’s U.S. Surge and Global Strategy Deliver Record Profits

Aritzia Inc. (TSX:ATZ) just posted a phenomenal Q2, tripling profits and pushing revenue to $812.1M, led by 40% U.S. growth. CEO Jennifer Wong credits this success to “outstanding new customer growth” and operational agility, including a quick pivot after the end of the U.S. de minimis exemption.

Aritzia moved its U.S. fulfillment to an expanded Ohio distribution center, minimizing tariff exposure from Vietnam and Cambodia, a masterclass in supply chain strategy.

Meanwhile, CFO Todd Ingledew raised full-year guidance to $3.3B–$3.5B, confirming strong performance and stable margins of 15.5–16.5%.

With its new international e-commerce platform already exceeding expectations, Aritzia is transforming from a Canadian fashion favorite into a North American retail powerhouse, and its trajectory shows no signs of slowing.
