Mastercard extends payment collaboration with Uber
Mastercard has extended its partnership with Uber, focusing on improving payment solutions for drivers, couriers, and Mastercard users on the Uber platform. As part of this collaboration, Uber will utilise a variety of Mastercard products and services, including Mastercard Move for real-time disbursements, Mastercard One Credential to streamline the payment experience, and Mastercard Gateway capabilities for collections, to bolster its business operations. The Uber Pro Card, which Mastercard currently supports in the US and Canada, has been renewed in those markets and will see an expansion into new regions, including the UK. This card enables Uber drivers and couriers to receive instant payments at no cost after each trip or delivery, along with benefits such as leading cash-back rewards on fuel purchases, according to Mastercard. Mastercard co-president of Global Partnerships Sherri Haymond said: 'This partnership connects over 3.5 billion cards and more than 150 million merchants that accept Mastercard globally together with Uber's community of over 8.5 million earners and 170 million users worldwide. 'By leveraging Mastercard's end-to-end payment solutions, this deepened work will provide integrated, trusted and seamless payment experiences for Uber's workers, small business owners, and consumers while also supporting Uber's growth.' In conjunction with this expansion, the Uber Pro Card will also enhance payment experiences by incorporating Mastercard One Credential, a single digitally connected credential that provides greater payment options. Additionally, Uber's global customer base will gain access to Mastercard's consumer payment products and services, including its Offers Platform, which will introduce unique benefits and added value for Mastercard cardholders purchasing delivery and mobility services on Uber's platform. Mastercard Gateway, the company's global processing and fraud prevention solution, will also be employed to enable Uber to accept a diverse range of digital transactions swiftly and securely. Uber vice president of Global Commerce Karl Hebert said: 'We could not be more excited to be deepening our relationship with a similarly forward-thinking and innovative business like Mastercard. 'At the heart of this partnership is a desire to grow benefits for all our mutual customers, be it the businesses that rely on Uber to earn each day, or those using the platform to Go Anywhere and Get Anything.'

Radisson Discovers Exceptional Visible Gold in Surface Trench Thirty Metres from O'Brien Core Shack and Office
Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - July 28, 2025) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQB: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the discovery of a significant occurrence of coarse visible gold in a new surface trench excavated at its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. The trench is the first of several planned for the summer exploration program at O'Brien and is located just thirty metres east of the O'Brien core shack and office complex, close to the projected surface extension of the celebrated "Jewellery Box" zone. Figure 1: Coarse visible gold in Quartz-Sulphide-Gold Veining in Piché Group rocks, Trench OB-25-TR001, O'Brien Gold Project. Looking east. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Matt Manson, President & CEO, commented: "Coarse visible gold in drill core is not unusual at the O'Brien Gold Project. Here we are reporting a notable example in a surface trench, found under light overburden immediately adjacent to the Project's office facilities. The trench was opened to provide exposure to Piché Group rocks in the hanging-wall of Cadillac-Larder Lake Break and to better understand the morphology and continuity of O'Brien's quartz-sulphide-gold veins. We did not expect the first trench to return such a world-class example of "under-foot" gold mineralization. This discovery is reminiscent of the historic prospecting experience in the Abitibi and illustrates the continued discovery potential of the region, even in the shadow of existing infrastructure." Matt Manson continued: "The trench location is close to the interpreted surface projection of the "Jewellery Box" zone, a vertical and narrow mining stope in the historic O'Brien Gold Mine noted for extremely high grades and museum-quality gold samples. In December, Radisson reported the likely rediscovery of the Jewellery Box with a drill intercept of 643.1 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 2.1 metres, including 1,345.0 g/t Au over 1.0 metre at approximately 200 metres vertical depth (see Radisson News Release dated December 9, 2024). Today's news confirms an extremely rich gold mineralizing environment in and around this zone, including at surface. This area is outside the scope of the Project's Mineral Resources and the recently published Preliminary Economic Assessment (see Radisson News Release dated July 9, 2025). Additional trenching is planned as part of our summer exploration program, and the discovery site has been secured against unauthorized access."

TSX futures edge up after US and EU trade deal
(Reuters) -Futures tied to Canada's main stock index inched higher on Monday, tracking global gains, as a trade deal between the U.S. and the European Union lifted sentiment ahead of the August 1 tariff deadline. Futures on the S&P/TSX index were up 0.2% at 1,639 points by 06:08 a.m. ET (1008 GMT). The benchmark had closed at a record high on Friday. The U.S. struck a framework trade agreement with the EU on Sunday, imposing a 15% tariff on most EU goods and requiring the bloc to invest around $600 billion in the U.S. Canada and other countries are also looking to finalize trade deals before the August 1 deadline. The U.S. and China will resume talks in Stockholm on Monday, aiming to extend a truce between the world's top two global economies by 90 days. Oil prices edged higher in the day, while gold steadied and metal prices lost ground. First National Financial said on Sunday it had reached an agreement to be acquired by private equity firm Birch Hill Equity Partners and asset manager Brookfield Asset Management in a deal valuing the company's equity at C$2.9 billion ($2.12 billion). This week, investors will closely monitor policy decisions from the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada, as well as earnings from some "Magnificent Seven" companies.
