Completion of Tolmer High Grade Silver Zone Drilling
HIGHLIGHTS
2,882m reverse circulation (RC) drilling completed at Tolmer high-grade silver discovery; recent expansion from 13 to 21 holes based upon early drilling program observations [1]
Program expanded in all directions with two additional lines to north and south
Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD)(FRA:BGD3)(OTCQB:BGDFF) (Barton or Company) is pleased to confirm that expanded RC drilling has completed at its recent 'Tolmer' high grade silver discovery, located at the Company's South Australian Tarcoola Gold Project (Tarcoola).1 A total of 2,882m RC drilling was completed across 21 completed holes to an average depth of 137m. Samples are planned to depart site during the coming week, with the first multi-element assay results expected toward the end of July.

Commenting on the Tolmer drilling program, Barton Managing Director Alexander Scanlon said:
'We look forward to sharing the assay results for this latest round of Tolmer drilling. The western 'silver zone' is an exciting target, and we are already planning near-term follow up diamond and RC drilling programs. My thanks to the excellent Barton team, and our drilling partners, for the safe execution of this extended program.'
Program background
Barton identified Tolmer as a high-grade gold discovery in August 2024, and subsequently identified a new 'silver zone' ~500m west in a line of seven discovery holes with globally significant assays including:[2]
Hole ID
Interval
Including:
TBAC130
6m @ 4,747 g/t Ag from 46 metres
1m @ 17,600 g/t Ag from 46 metres
TBM227
4m @ 1,417 g/t Ag from 9 metres
1m @ 3,790 g/t Ag from 9 metres
TBM228
14m @ 434 g/t Ag from 46 metres
1m @ 3,350 g/t Ag from 54 metres
On 22 May Barton commenced a planned program of ~2,500m RC drilling which was designed to infill and extend both the western 'silver zone' and the eastern 'gold zone'.[3] Based upon further geological surface reconnaissance and early observations from drilling, it was decided to expand the 'silver zone' drilling program to gather a larger amount of data on this area with the remaining time available in this program.[4]
Seven drill holes originally planned for the eastern 'gold zone' were re-allocated to eight new drill holes in the western 'silver zone', expanding the planned drilling from three to five lines of RC holes. The total Tolmer drilling program was expanded from a planned ~2,500m to a revised final total of 2,882m.
Samples will shortly be despatched for expedited laboratory analysis, with the first multi-element assay results expected to be received toward the end of July. Barton has already commenced planning for follow up programs, including diamond drilling for structural orientation and further extensional RC drilling.

Are Wall Street Analysts Bullish on Monster Beverage Stock?
Valued at a market cap of $59.5 billion, Monster Beverage Corporation (MNST) is a beverage company headquartered in Corona, California. It develops, markets, sells, and distributes a wide range of energy drink brands, including Monster Energy, Monster Ultra, Reign Total Body Fuel, Java Monster, and Burn, as well as other beverages such as non-carbonated iced teas, juices, water, sports drinks, and flavored malt beverages. Shares of the energy drinks company have surged past the broader market over the past 52 weeks. MNST stock has rallied 18.4% over this time frame, while the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has gained 17%. Moreover, on a YTD basis, MNST stock is up 16.1%, compared to SPX's 8.2% return.

Zooming in further, MNST's outperformance looks even more pronounced when compared to the First Trust Nasdaq Food & Beverage ETF's (FTXG) 7.6% downtick over the past 52 weeks and 2.4% loss on a YTD basis. Monster Beverage delivered mixed Q1 results on May 8, and its shares closed up 1.4% in the following trading session. The company's overall revenue declined 2.3% year-over-year to $1.9 billion, falling short of consensus estimates by 6.6%. Its top line was negatively impacted by distributors' ordering patterns in the U.S. and EMEA, unfavorable foreign exchange effects, poor weather conditions, and reduced sales in the Alcohol Brands segment. However, despite the drop in revenue, its adjusted EPS improved 10.2% from the year-ago quarter to $0.47, surpassing Wall Street expectations by a penny. Favorable pricing strategies combined with supply chain optimization supported its profitability. For the current fiscal year, ending in December, analysts expect MNST's EPS to grow 14.2% year over year to $1.85. The company's earnings surprise history is disappointing. It missed the consensus estimates in three of the last four quarters, while surpassing on another occasion. Among the 20 analysts covering the stock, the consensus rating is a 'Moderate Buy' which is based on nine 'Strong Buy,' one "Moderate Buy,' eight 'Hold,' and two "Strong Sell' ratings. This configuration is slightly less bullish than a month ago, with 10 analysts suggesting a 'Strong Buy' rating. On Jul. 29, Evercore Inc. (EVR) analyst Robert Ottenstein maintained a 'Buy' rating on MNST and set a price target of $65, indicating a 6.5% potential upside from the current levels. The mean price target of $63.45 represents a 3.9% premium from MNST's current price levels, while the Street-high price target of $74 suggests an upside potential of 21.2%.

Koryx Copper Announces Closing of $25 Million Financing
Not for distribution to United States newswire services or for dissemination in the United States VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Koryx Copper Inc. (the 'Company') (TSX-V: KRY) is pleased to announce that it has closed (i) its previously announced bought deal public offering (The 'Offering') of an aggregate 19,047,680 common shares of the Company (the 'Common Shares') at a price of C$1.05 per Common Share (the 'Issue Price') for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of C$20,000,064, inclusive of the exercise in full of the over-allotment option granted to the Underwriters (defined herein) (the 'Offering'), and (ii) closed a concurrent non-brokered private placement (the 'Placement') of an aggregate 4,761,844 Common Shares also at the Issue Price for total gross proceeds of approximately C$5,000,000. The Offering was led by Stifel Canada, as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters that includes Beacon Securities Limited, Haywood Securities Inc., Research Capital Corporation, BMO Capital Markets, Red Cloud Securities Inc. and Ventum Financial Corp. (collectively, the 'Underwriters'). Heye Daun, Koryx Copper's President and CEO commented: ' We are delighted with the continued support received from our longstanding shareholders, especially Ross Beaty, and a number of European and North American financial institutions who have invested with us repeatedly over the years. In addition, the Koryx executive team followed my significant investment, into this financing. We are also very grateful for the very strong interest shown by Namibian institutional and private investors who made up more than 40% of this financing. This is a very strong vote of confidence from Namibian investors who are playing an increasingly important part in the evolving shareholder base of Koryx Copper and who have endorsed our strategy for the fast-tracked development of the world-class, long-life and low-cost Haib copper deposit in the south of Namibia. With this capital in hand, we are well positioned to accelerate technical work, optimize our development plans, and unlock significant value. We are excited for the months ahead as we move rapidly toward key milestones, including the optimization and right-sizing of Haib as we advance toward our PEA and PFS. The momentum is building, and I look forward to sharing our continued progress.' The Common Shares issued under the Offering were offered by way of a short form prospectus dated July 29, 2025 filed in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, except Québec, and offered in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'U.S. Securities Act'), and in those jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States as agreed to by the Company and the Underwriters, in each case in accordance with all applicable laws and provided that no prospectus, registration or other similar document is required to be filed in those jurisdictions. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of both the Offering and Placement to advance technical studies on the Haib Copper Project and continue exploration on the property, working capital and general corporate purposes. All Common Shares issued under the Placement are subject to a hold period expiring four months and a day from the date of issuance. The Company paid finder's fees of C$374,455 to Cirrus Capital (Pty) Ltd. in connection with the Placement. In connection with the Offering, the Underwriters were paid a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (subject to a reduction to 2.5% on certain sales to president's list purchasers) and 571,430 compensation warrants of the Company (the 'Compensation Warrants') equal to up to 3% of the number of Common Shares sold under the Offering. Each Compensation Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire a Common Share at a price equal to the Issue Price until July 31, 2027. Related Party Disclosure Certain directors and officers of the Company subscribed for an aggregate 390,476 Common Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of C$410,000. Each director and officer of the Company is considered an 'insider' of the Company and, as a result, their participation under the Placement is considered to be a 'related party transaction' for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ('MI 61-101'). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements available under MI 61-101. Specifically, the Company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement in section 5.4 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves insiders, is not more than 25% of the Company's market capitalization. Additionally, the Company is exempt from minority shareholder approval requirement in section 5.6 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves insiders, is not more than 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Offering and the Placement remain subject to the final approval of the TSXV Venture Exchange (the 'TSXV'). This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful, including any of the securities in the United States. The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for account or benefit of, U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration requirements is available. About Koryx Copper Inc. Koryx Copper Inc. is a Canadian copper development Company focused on advancing the 100% owned Haib Copper Project in Namibia. Haib is a large, advanced (PEA-stage) copper/molybdenum porphyry deposit in southern Namibia with a long history of exploration and project development by multiple operators. More than 80,000m of drilling has been conducted at Haib since the 1970s with significant exploration programs led by companies including Falconbridge (1964), Rio Tinto (1975) and Teck (2014). Extensive metallurgical testing and various technical studies have also been completed at Haib to date. Additional studies are underway aiming to demonstrate Haib as a future long-life, low-cost, low-risk open pit, sulphide flotation copper project with the potential for additional copper production from heap leaching. Haib has a current mineral resource of 414Mt @ 0.35% Cu for 1,459Mt of contained copper in the Indicated category and 345Mt @ 0.33% Cu for 1136Mt of contained copper in the Inferred category (0.25% Cu cut-off). Mineralization at Haib is typical of a porphyry copper deposit and it is one of only a few examples of a Paleoproterozoic porphyry copper deposit in the world and one of only two in southern Africa (both in Namibia). Due to its age, the deposit has been subjected to multiple metamorphic and deformation events but still retains many of the classic mineralization and alteration features typical of these deposits. The mineralization is dominantly chalcopyrite with minor bornite and chalcocite present and only minor secondary copper minerals at surface due to the arid environment. Further details of the Haib Copper Project are available in the corresponding technical report titled, 'NI 43-101 Technical Report – August 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate for the Haib Copper Project, Namibia' dated effective August 31, 2024 (the 'Technical Report'). The Technical Report and other information is available on the Company's website at and under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at .
