Project Vault, a landmark public-private initiative backed by a $10 billion Export-Import Bank loan and $2 billion in private capital, aims to build a civilian strategic minerals reserve covering 60 commodities classified as critical by the USGS[1]. Simultaneously, physical silver investment is forecast to surge 20% in 2026 to a three-year high of 227 million ounces, even as the market heads into its sixth consecutive annual supply deficit.

GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) just announced a $2.0 million critical mineral flow-through financing to advance the district-scale Magno Polymetallic Project in British Columbia's Cassiar District. The non-brokered private placement will issue up to 7,547,170 flow-through shares at $0.265 per share, with proceeds directed toward eligible Canadian exploration expenses qualifying as critical mineral flow-through expenditures. No warrants will be issued, and the financing is expected to fund 3D geological modeling, target refinement, and drill planning across the Magno property through 2026. \"Our 2025 program delivered several milestones with indium values up to 334 ppm, the highest recorded in the Cassiar District, alongside high-grade silver-lead-zinc minera...
