SILVER ONE COMMISSIONS GROUND GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY ON ITS PHOENIX SILVER PROJECT, ARIZONA
VANCOUVER, BC, July 14, 2025 /CNW/ -- Silver One Resources Inc. (TSXV: SVE) (OTCQX: SLVRF) (FSE: BRK1) ("Silver One" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has engaged Zonge International, Inc., to conduct a ground geophysical Induced Polarization (IP) and Magnetotelluric (MT) survey on its 100% owned Phoenix Silver project in Arizona. Both IP and MT are effective electrical geophysical methods useful to detect underground metallic minerals, especially disseminated sulfides, and structures that may be host to mineralization. This is especially important in the southern portion of the property where previous magnetic and ZTEM surveys, in combination with multiple select high-grade copper and silver samples are suggestive of a copper-silver system at depth (See Figures 1 and 2 and news release of February 20, 2025). Owing to safety reasons related to fire hazard in the project's area, the survey will be scheduled as soon as Forest Service fire restrictions are lifted. The planned survey consists of 50-line km of ground IP and MT over robust copper targets. These targets were identified using Geotech's targeting algorithm that combines several datasets including, resistivity derived from the ZTEM survey, magnetic features, geology, structure, mine sites and copper showings (see Company's news release of February 20, 2025 and Figures 1 and 2). These targets have never been drill tested, and their importance is highlighted by their location along the north-eastern portion of the prolific Miami-Inspiration copper belt, which hosts Rio Tinto-BHP's Resolution deposit to the southwest and BHP's Ocelot discovery to the northeast (Figure 1). The IP and MT survey will target vertical depths of 600 metres and 1,500 metres respectively. This survey, in conjunction with previous field investigations, will allow the Company to define and prioritize targets for future drilling. Silver Exploration The company plans to continue with further evaluation of silver targets, especially the 417 area and the long northeast-trending train of silver nuggets located in the northern part of the property. A detailed gravity survey is planned over the 417 area drilled in 2024 to assist in defining the location of massive silver bodies (see Company's news release of February 24, 2025 and Figure 2) and guide future drilling. At the Nuggets North area, planned work includes mapping, sampling, and trenching subject to Forest Service permitting. Candelaria Project Update The Company is also pleased to announce that work at the Candelaria project is on schedule, continuing with metallurgical investigations to optimize silver and gold recoveries, and a Preliminary Economic Assessment study (PEA) scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. Qualified Person The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Robert M. Cann, P. Geo, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and an independent consultant to the Company. About Silver One Silver One is focused on the exploration and development of quality silver projects. The Company holds a 100% interest in its flagship project, the past-producing Candelaria Mine located in Nevada. Potential reprocessing of silver from the historic leach pads at Candelaria provides an opportunity for possible near-term production. Additional opportunities lie in previously identified high-grade silver intercepts down-dip and potentially increasing the substantive silver mineralization along-strike from the two past-producing open pits. The Company owns 636 lode claims and five patented claims on its Cherokee project located in Lincoln County, Nevada, host to multiple silver-copper-gold vein systems, traced to date for over 11 km along-strike. Silver One also owns a 100% interest in the Silver Phoenix Project. The Silver Phoenix Project is a very high-grade native silver prospect that lies within the "Arizona Silver Belt", immediately adjacent to the prolific copper producing area of Globe, Arizona.

Heavy rains in southern Brazil leave at least 2 dead and 2,000 displaced
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Heavy rains have killed at least two people in Brazil 's southern region Rio Grande do Sul, the state's civil defense agency said on Wednesday, just over a year after the region was hit by record-breaking floods. A 65-year-old man is also missing and more than 2,000 people have been forced to flee their homes, the agency added. The rains have caused blackouts, landslides, washed-out roads and collapsed bridges across the state. Many of the areas affected were damaged during the floods in May last year, which killed more than 100 people and prompted promises to take measures to avoid a repeat of the dramatic events. 'The state is better prepared,' Gov. Eduardo Leite said Wednesday on X, pointing to strengthened response teams and investments in river dredging to reduce the risk of flooding. Some regions have been hit by more than 350 millimetres (14 inches) of rain since the weekend, Leite said. One of the confirmed deaths is that of a 54-year-old woman in the municipality of Candelaria. Her husband is missing. Preliminary reports indicate that the couple attempted to cross a flooded area in a vehicle in the and were swept away, the civil defense agency said. The agency advised people not to leave their homes, close windows and doors and remove electronic devices from sockets. Scientists say extreme weather is happening more frequently due to human-caused climate change. ____ Follow AP's coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean at

Watch: Politician Told That Reading Porn Book Found In School Library Is 'Inappropriate'
A Connecticut lawmaker was admonished for reading aloud from a pornographic book that is available to children in school libraries in the state. During a hearing, Republican Rep. Anne Dauphinais of Danielson read graphic sexual references from the book, titled Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. 'Are you going to eat her pussy?,' Dauphinais read from the book. 'Yeah, Earl, I am going to eat her pussy,' she continued before being interrupted by Rep. Juan Candelaria, a New Haven Democrat and deputy House Speaker who started manically banging his gavel. 🚨WATCH: Connecticut GOP lawmaker quotes book found in public schools: "Are you gonna eat her p*ssy?"She is then SCOLDED for her use of the replies: "You're telling me that this language is inappropriate in this chamber, this is in elementary school libraries." — Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) June 3, 2025 'Madam, I would ask that we not try to use that type of language in the chamber and try to keep some decorum,' said Candelaria, not recognising the irony. 'I know you were talking of specific books, but if we could refrain from those type of words because there are also people and children watching this debate.' That's the whole point, dude. Dauphinais had already warned parents to remove any children present from the room before she began reading. 'I would ask kindly if we could just use either a different word or something different just out of respect for others that might get offended. Thank you,' Candelaria added. Dauphinais responded, 'Mr. Speaker, I stand here to share with the chamber the books that are available in our public school libraries to the very children you're telling me that this language isn't appropriate in this chamber.' 'This is in elementary school libraries, approved by the very individuals that are supposed to be the experts,' she further urged. Another Democrat, House Speaker Matt Ritter, then argued that the Republicans just want to make this a 'cultural issue,' that 'they want the response, like children,' and that 'it really hurts their brand.' Or maybe they have actual concerns about the porn in kids' libraries? 🚨WATCH: Connecticut GOP lawmaker quotes book found in public schools: "Are you gonna eat her p*ssy?"She is then SCOLDED for her use of the replies: "You're telling me that this language is inappropriate in this chamber, this is in elementary school libraries." — Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) June 3, 2025 Click here to read more…

NM Supreme Court lays out scope of legislative immunity in precendent-setting ruling
May 5—SANTA FE — The motive behind New Mexico lawmakers' official acts is irrelevant when it comes to determining whether they can be the target of lawsuits, the state Supreme Court ruled Monday. The unanimous ruling by the state's highest court establishes — for the first time — the scope of legislative immunity, a doctrine that protects legislators from facing legal claims over their job-related actions. It comes nearly five months after the Supreme Court ordered the dismissal of a lawsuit filed against the state Senate's top-ranking Democrat by a former senator who alleged he had been illegally retaliated against. The court indicated at the time it planned to issue a longer written ruling at a later date. The top Democrat, Senate President Pro Tem Mimi Stewart of Albuquerque, had asked the Supreme Court to intervene after a state District Court judge denied Stewart's initial motion to dismiss the case, saying her motives needed to be scrutinized. The case was filed by ex-Sen. Jacob Candelaria of Albuquerque in April 2022, several months before he resigned from the Senate. In his lawsuit, he argued Stewart violated the state's Human Rights Act by moving his Senate seat and Capitol office location following his criticism of her behind-the-scenes handling of a personnel investigation involving a top legislative staffer. However, the New Mexico Supreme Court in its Monday opinion ruled that Stewart was shielded by legislative immunity since her actions involved legislative resources and that her motive, or intent, for moving Candelaria's seat and office location was not relevant. "When legislative immunity applies, recourse is found not in the courts, but at the ballot box," Supreme Court Chief Justice David Thomson wrote in the court's ruling, which also cited cases in other states. The Supreme Court also ordered District Court Judge Daniel Ramczyk of Albuquerque to dismiss Candelaria's original complaint. While New Mexico's legislative immunity provision had been largely untested in the courts, the similar issue of presidential immunity has been a hot-button issue. The U.S. Supreme Court in July 2024 ruled that former presidents can not be criminally prosecuted for acts taken while in office. The ruling hinged on the actions of Donald Trump, who then won election last November to a new four-year term. Specifically, New Mexico's Constitution says legislators shall not be "questioned in any other place for any speech or debate or for any vote cast in either house." The state Constitution also protects lawmakers from arrest during legislative sessions, with certain exceptions. In all, 43 states including New Mexico have constitutions that provide legislative immunity by protecting legislators from executive or judicial action, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

State Supreme Court issues opinion on legislative immunity

(Photo by Austin Fisher / Source NM) The highest-ranking lawmaker in the New Mexico Senate cannot be sued for reassigning a senator's office and seat in the chamber because they were 'legitimate legislative actions,' the state's high court said Monday. In 2021, Senate President Pro Tem Mimi Stewart (D-Albuquerque) moved then-Sen. Jacob Candelaria's (DTS-Albuquerque) seat on the Senate floor and his Senate office location in the Roundhouse. In a complaint filed in a district court in 2022, Candelaria alleged Stewart's actions had been 'retaliatory' for his public criticism of her vote against terminating the executive director, at the time, of the Legislation Education Study Committee, who was facing allegations of unlawful workplace discrimination. In a unanimous opinion written by Chief Justice David Thomson, the New Mexico Supreme Court said Stewart is entitled to immunity from legal liability because her actions fall under the 'speech and debate clause' in the New Mexico Constitution. The justices noted that it was the first time the state's appeals courts have ever been asked to interpret the clause. Monday's opinion offered the legal explanation for the justices' earlier verbal ruling in the case, which they made in December after hearing arguments from both sides. 'While the decision on this case was delivered last year, it's good to have closure on this issue with the delivery of a written opinion from the Supreme Court,' Stewart told Source NM in a statement. 'Our Constitution's Speech or Debate Clause outlines what constitutes legitimate, protected legislative activities, and the Supreme Court's affirmation now makes it clear once and for all.' Second Judicial District Court Judge Daniel Ramczyk in September 2024 concluded that he needed to examine Stewart's motives for her actions against Candelaria before he could decide whether she was entitled to legislative immunity. The Supreme Court said Ramczyk's reasoning was wrong because of a long-established legal principle that courts can't question lawmakers' motive or intent. The justices sent the case back to him, telling him to dismiss it, and he did so on Dec. 16, according to court records. The justices wrote that Stewart's motive is irrelevant and moving Candelaria's office and floor seat 'are both legitimate legislative activities' in her role as president of the Senate. 'Private actions, just like those brought by the executive branch, divert legislators' attention from their work and bring judicial power to bear, imperiling legislative independence,' the justices wrote. A request for comment from Candelaria was not returned as of publication time. Candelaria argued that New Mexico's Constitution only protects lawmakers from liability for officials acts requiring a vote; however, the justices wrote that he misinterpreted part of the speech and debate clause to limit lawmakers' immunity when it was really providing an additional ground for immunity. Candelaria also argued that Stewart's changes to his office and seating arrangements weren't integral to the Senate's deliberations because earlier in the COVID-19 pandemic, senators had been allowed to participate and vote in committee meetings and floor sessions remotely. The justices disagreed, saying the pandemic required the Senate to change its procedures 'in unprecedented ways,' and they refused to rule on legislative immunity based on those changes. Candelaria, first elected in 2013, frequently clashed with Senate leadership and changed his party affiliation in late 2021 from Democrat to independent. He resigned from the Senate in 2022.
