Questcorp Mining Completes Induced Polarization Survey at the Marisa Zone – North Island Copper Project

Investing 4 Mins Read

Questcorp Mining Inc. (CSE: QQQ,OTC:QQCMF) (OTCQB: QQCMF) (FSE: D910) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Questcorp’) is pleased to announce the successful completion of 12.8 line kilometres of induced polarization (‘IP’) surveying over the Marisa Zone at its 1,168-hectare North Island Copper Project located near Port Hardy on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

The Company is currently reviewing the newly acquired geophysical data and will release a detailed interpretation once the technical team has completed its evaluation. As part of this process, Peter E. Walcott and Associates Limited will integrate the historical 1992 IP survey data with the new 2026 survey results to generate a comprehensive 3D inversion model of the target area.

The results of this work are expected to assist in defining priority drill targets. Subject to final interpretation and permitting timelines, the Company intends to initiate permitting for a drill program in late H1 or early H2 2026.

Previous exploration at the Marisa Zone identified copper mineralization associated with an IP chargeability anomaly. In 1992, two of five diamond drill holes were completed to test the anomaly intersected copper mineralization, including:

  • 0.078% copper over 56.39 metres (DDH92-01)
  • 0.041% copper over 70.71 metres (DDH92-03)

Both intercepts were encountered within altered quartz diorite, with copper grades increasing with depth in DDH92-03.

Source: Geophysical and Diamond Drilling Report on the Marisa Property, G.J. Allen and P.G. Dasler, February 29, 1992, prepared for Great Western Gold Corporation.

‘This recently completed IP survey represents an important step in advancing the Marisa Zone target,’ stated Saf Dhillon, President & Chief Executive Officer of Questcorp Mining. ‘The survey has successfully confirmed the presence of the historical chargeability anomaly identified in earlier work. Once Walcott and Associates completes the 3D inversion and our technical team finishes reviewing the results, we expect to refine potential drill targets and move toward a drill program later in 2026.’

The Company cautions that a Qualified Person has not verified the historical exploration data referenced in this release. The presence of mineralization on adjacent or nearby properties, including NorthIsle Copper and Gold and BHP properties, is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the North Island Copper Project.

The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by R. Tim Henneberry, P. Geo (BC), a Director of the Company and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Canada’s Junior Miners Still in Challenging Financial Climate as Metals Prices Climb

Investing 7 Mins Read

Canada is a premier destination for mineral exploration and mining, but the nation’s exploration-stage companies are still struggling to attract investment dollars.

The country’s appeal is showcased in the Fraser Institute’s most recent Annual Survey of Mining Companies, which tracks the investment attractiveness of global mining jurisdictions. It places the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Saskatchewan among the world’s top mining jurisdictions, behind only Nevada.

The Canadian mining industry “serves as a proxy for the global (mining) industry” as it is home to “the largest concentration of public mineral companies in the world,” with Toronto at “the center of the mining finance universe,” said Douglas Silver, partner and senior advisor at Benwerrin Investment Partners, during his presentation at this year’s Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention, held last week.

Jeff Killeen, director of policy and programs for PDAC, shared similar sentiments in his own presentation, telling conference attendees, “Almost 30 percent of every dollar raised somewhere in the world for the (mining) sector comes through the Canadian marketplace: the TSX, the Venture and the CSE.”

Canada’s unique tax incentives crucial for mining investment

Canada owes its leading position in the global mining industry to its large landmass and abundance of natural resources. However, both Silver and Killeen pointed out that the nation’s flow-through share tax incentive — unique to Canada — is also “incredibly critical” to the success of the natioin’s mining sector.

Flow-through shares are a highly specialized financing tool that allow resource companies to transfer eligible exploration and development expenses to investors, who then deduct them from their own taxable income.

Under the Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (METC), funds generated from this type of capital raise must be put into a project within 18 months. There’s also the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC), which applies to critical minerals used for batteries and magnets, including rare earths, nickel, uranium, lithium and graphite, among others.

Generational shift shrinking pool of mining investors

Although Canada dominates the global mining finance sector and is teeming with multiple types of mineral deposits, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for the nation’s exploration-stage companies to attract investment dollars.

The tight financial landscape for today’s explorers stems in part from both a complex regulatory system that limits the areas open to mining activity, and a lack of proper infrastructure in the more remote regions of the country. Both of these shortcomings strike at the heart of perceived jurisdictional risk for both retail and institutional investors.

During his presentation, Killeen highlighted a few of the key financing trends affecting access to capital in the mineral industry, noting that last year saw a dramatic uptick in investment in the mining sector.

Where is capital originating from? Most of it was equity raised through private placements, which poses a problem as it represents a very narrow investor base that consists of friends and family of the management team and strategic investors that probably already own shares in the company.

“That just tells us that we’re not broadening the investor base. We’re not pulling in more investors. There’s no more new retail folks coming in investing in shares in Canada. This tells us that we’re in a very risky balance in terms of who actually can fund the sector through the next generation,” he warned the PDAC audience.

“There is a lesser population of retail investors as time goes on. You know that the Boomer generation is going away in terms of an investment pool, and the next generation isn’t necessarily replicating that.”

Silver also views the generational shift in the investment landscape as a problem for raising money in the mining industry. “There’s no question from what I’ve read and heard that the younger generations don’t pick individual stocks. They tend to lean towards ETFs or crypto or other stuff,” he said. “Crypto is definitely competing with mining.”

Gold grabbing all the dollars

Canada’s minerals industry did experience a strong rebound in terms of equity investment in 2025, but it was heavily targeted at producers and developers with large-scale, near-production projects. Gold dominated, but investment also increased in projects associated with critical minerals like lithium, nickel, copper and graphite.

“How much is going to the bottom end, to those sub-$100 million market cap companies, the lion’s share of the junior explorers that are out there? Well, in the Canadian marketplace, only about 10 percent of every dollar raised is getting down to those size of companies,” explained Killeen, highlighting the discrepancy.

In his view, the lack of investment over the past decade is bringing about a decline in grassroots exploration.

Gold is grabbing many mineral investment dollars, not only because its price is surging to unprecedented highs, but also because there’s a faster return on investment compared to other metals. Killeen said that’s due to the fact that gold mining doesn’t require large amounts of infrastructure such as railways and ports.

“In some cases, you don’t need roads. The capital to develop a gold mine might be one-sixth of, one-10th of or one-20th of a copper mine or a zinc mine,” he commented. “So the rate of return for the average investor who’s looking at an exploration stock saying, ‘Could I get money back into this? Could I get value back into this?’ Today that timeframe is much shorter, and the capital to bring it to market is much lower.”

Looking at copper, which is much more capital intensive, Killeen said production is down nearly 30 percent from seven or eight years ago. Reserves are also down, even though rising copper prices have resulted in more resources being upgraded to reserves. Silver agreed with that take — his research shows that the Canadian mining industry is overflowing with gold companies. Of the 1,555 mining companies in Canada in 2024, 42 percent of them were gold-focused firms compared to only 17 percent for copper, the second highest amount.

“So why do we have so many gold companies? I think the answer is pretty obvious to me, which is if you want to build a porphyry copper mine, you’ve got to go raise $5 (billion) or $10 billion,” said Silver. “That’s very difficult in the mining industry, because we just don’t have that much gross capital available to us relative to what some of the other industries have … but you can build a gold mine for a couple hundred million (dollars).’

Despite the massive focus on gold, Killeen and Silver both noted that Canada is actually seeing increasing exploration activity for rare earths, lithium, cobalt, graphite and uranium.

Improving the investment case for Canada’s juniors

Killeen said PDAC and its members are pushing for the Canadian government to make the METC and CMETC permanent to bring more investment into mineral exploration in greenfield regions and making new discoveries.

Last year, flow-through shares generated C$1.6 billion in investment into the sector, according to Silver’s research, or about 76 percent of funding received by mineral exploration companies in Canada.

“When you look at the role of Canadian flow through, it’s so incredibly critical to Canadian mining,” he said. Silver too is advocating for the mining industry and investors to “fight for flow through way more than you do.’

To address infrastructure challenges for bringing critical metals projects into production sooner for a quicker return on investment, Killeen suggested more pension funds investing in Canada and easing government regulations.

“We need them cooperating together with the federal government to develop major infrastructure that doesn’t exist beyond 100 kilometers from the border,” he said.

Killeen noted that “the world is changing” and governments, including Canada’s, are becoming more focused on securing domestic sources of critical minerals. For example, at PDAC, Tim Hodgson, Canada’s minister of energy and natural resources, announced a C$3.6 billion suite of investments targeting the critical minerals sector.

Today’s crypto news to know

Oil trading surges on crypto derivatives platform

Volatility in global energy markets is spilling into crypto trading platforms, where oil derivatives have suddenly become one of the most active markets.

On decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, an oil-linked perpetual futures contract tracking West Texas Intermediate crude generated about US$1.32 billion in trading volume over the past 24 hours.

The surge made oil the second-most traded contract on the platform after Bitcoin.

The surge followed the escalation of the US-Israel conflict with Iran, which sent oil prices briefly soaring above US$118 per barrel before retreating. Prior to the conflict, the contract typically saw about US$21 million in daily trading.

Data from Hyperliquid shows Bitcoin still dominates trading activity with roughly US$3.64 billion in daily volume, but the WTI contract has now leapfrogged assets such as Ether, silver, and gold.

Strategy adds nearly 18,000 Bitcoin in US$1.28 billion purchase

Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) continued its aggressive accumulation strategy last week, revealing it purchased 17,994 Bitcoin for about US$1.28 billion between March 2 and March 8.

According to a regulatory filing, the company paid an average price of roughly US$70,946 per coin. The latest purchase lifts Strategy’s total holdings to 738,731 Bitcoin, acquired at a combined cost of about US$56.04 billion.

China’s top court warns of tougher penalties for crypto crime

China’s Supreme People’s Court has signaled a harder line against cryptocurrency-related financial crime, pledging stricter penalties for individuals using digital assets to launder money or move funds overseas.

Chief Justice Zhang Jun issued the warning in the court’s annual report to the National People’s Congress, highlighting the growing role of crypto in cross-border financial offenses.

Authorities say the crackdown is part of a broader campaign against technology-enabled crime, which increasingly includes artificial intelligence-driven fraud and coordinated online harassment campaigns known as “human flesh search.”

Despite the ban, enforcement agencies say criminals have continued to exploit digital assets to bypass China’s strict capital controls, which limit individuals to transferring US$50,000 abroad each year.

WBC tiebreaker rules and scenarios: How Team USA can advance

Sport 2 Mins Read

Pool B in the World Baseball Classic has turned into a nailbiter, coming down not only to the final game but the final score. 

Italy (3-0) and Mexico (2-1) will play the pool’s final game March 11, and the Italians (or American-born players with Italian lineage) can win the pool by defeating Mexico. 

That would ensure Team USA (3-1) gets the second ticket to the quarterfinals. But a Mexico victory creates a three-way tie atop the group, and with each team 1-1 against the other two, the first tiebreaker – ‘fewest runs allowed divided by the number of defensive outs recorded in the games in that round between the teams tied.’ 

So what does that mean for Team USA? It’s relatively simple: 

If Mexico wins and scores four or fewer runs, Team USA is eliminated. A Mexico win while scoring five or more runs ensures the USA goes forward. 

And, simplest of all, an Italy victory puts the Italians and Americans in the quarterfinals (even if Team USA has to choke down a serving of humble pie by not winning the group). 

WBC pool tiebreakers for USA

  • Italy defeats Mexico
  • Mexico beats Italy, scoring five or more runs

Big East tournament bracket, scores: Players to watch, bubble scenarios

Sport 5 Mins Read

The Big East tournament should end with Connecticut and St. John’s meeting for the third time this season.

That’s if the Huskies can avoid another misstep after losing to Marquette in the regular-season finale to drop into second place in the final conference standings. That loss could cost UConn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Thanks in part to dismal seasons by Creighton and the Golden Eagles, the Big East is expected to send only three teams into this year’s tournament. Sending just three into the bracket in 2024 didn’t stop the league from making a statement; all three teams made the Sweet 16 and UConn won it all.

To make another March Madness splash, the Big East first needs UConn to shake off a lousy finish to the regular season. When it comes to St. John’s, the onus is still on the Red Storm to prove they can defeat elite competition after going 4-5 in Quad 1 games.

  • Game 10: Semifinal winners, 6:30 p.m., Fox

How to watch Big East tournament

  • TV: NBCSN, Fox Sports 1 and Fox
  • Streaming: Peacock and Fubo

The entire first round will air on NBCSN and simultaneously stream on Peacock. Likewise for the first two games of the quarterfinals, before the second pair of quarterfinal games shifts to Fox Sports 1 and streams on Fubo.

Fubo will also stream the semifinals and final, which will have a traditional broadcast on FOX.

Big East tournament favorite

The favorite is still UConn despite the late slide into second place behind the Red Storm.

St. John’s took the first meeting this season, topping the Huskies 81-72 at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 6. UConn avenged that loss with a dominant 72-40 win on Feb. 25.

The Red Storm are a difficult group to pin down because of the average mark against top-level competition. But St. John’s has often looked the part of a potential Final Four team.

Overall, UConn is the Big East’s most complete team and most dangerous NCAA tournament team after losing in the second round last March.

Big East tournament top players

Zuby Ejiofor, F, St. John’s — Ejiofor will deserve All-America consideration for his impact as a scorer (16.0 ppg), interior presence (2 bpg) and impactful post passer (career-best 3.5 apg).

Duke Brennan, F, Villanova — Brennan is hard to stop near the basket, making 66% of his attempts, and his 4 offensive rebounds per game leads the Big East and ranks eighth nationally.

Alex Karaban, F, UConn — The Huskies’ veteran forward has made 47.9% of his attempts from the field and an even 40% from deep to score in double figures (12.9 ppg) for the third year in a row.

Adam Clark, G, Seton Hall — A former Merrimack transfer, Clark is a pesky defender (2 spg) and capable distributor (4.7 apg) but has to limit his turnovers to help Seton Hall land the wins it needs to book a tournament bid.

Solomon Ball, G, UConn — Ball (13.9 ppg) hit a cold spell down the stretch of Big East play and was held below double figures in five of his past nine games. How far UConn goes this month might depend on whether he can flip the switch.

March Madness bubble storylines for Big East

The Big East has just three NCAA tournament locks in UConn, St. John’s and Villanova. The Huskies could rally back into position to secure a No. 1 seed by winning the conference tournament, depending on how things unfold with Florida in the SEC and Houston in the Big 12.

The Red Storm are currently hovering around the No. 5 line in large part. Villanova is solidly in the No. 7 range.

Seton Hall stormed out of the gate with a 10-1 mark in non-conference play but has dropped all six matchups against the Big East’s top three. That’s left the Pirates out of the NCAA mix and needing to win the conference tournament to punch their ticket to March Madness.

After placing five teams in last year’s bracket, the odds are the Big East has just three tournament teams unless an underdog wins the conference and steals a bid, which would complicate the at-large picture.

Caitlin Clark debut with Team USA women’s basketball: Time, TV, stream

Sport 3 Mins Read

Today is the day.

The Indiana Fever point guard will play against Senegal at the FIBA World Cup qualifying tournament with Team USA in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It’s the first of five games in the tournament.

“It’ll probably take me a second to knock a little bit of the rust off,” Clark said. “I’ll probably be a little bit nervous, which I usually don’t get nervous, but that probably just will come from, you know, I haven’t really played basketball in a while. I’m sure after the first minute of running around on the court, I’ll be just fine. But more than anything, just really excited.”

Limited to 13 games in 2025, Clark suffered a quad injury in training camp, a separate strain in the same quad a week into the season before straining her left groin in June and her right groin in July. She sprained her ankle in August while rehabbing from the groin injury. 

After eight months, Clark will be back on the court. And she feels better than ever.

“I know how much work and how much time I put in to make sure my body’s as healthy as it can be, and to get back not only to a point where I feel like I’m myself, but I feel like I’m even better than where I was at the beginning of last season,” Clark said. “I started off the season really well before I was hurt, and tried to play through being hurt. So more than anything, just excited to be out there, to be surrounded by a lot of really good players.”

Atlantic 10 tournament bracket, scores, schedule

Sport 5 Mins Read

An automatic bid is on the line at the 2026 Atlantic 10 Tournament this week, and there’s a strong chance that the conference championship could result in a bid-stealer for the NCAA tournament.

Saint Louis enters the Atlantic 10 tournament at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh as the No. 1 seed, and is looking for its first conference tournament title since 2019. Robbie Avila and the Billikens have been one of the better mid-major teams in the country this season at 27-4 overall, and the conference’s automatic bid is theirs to lose.

The Billikens, however, hit a few unexpected roadblocks to end the regular season — going 3-3 in their last six games, including an 81-76 loss to No. 10 seed Rhode Island and an 86-75 loss to No. 5 seed George Mason — that has some believing the conference’s automatic bid may not be won by Josh Schertz’s squad after all.

One team that could give Saint Louis a real fight for the March Madness auto bid is Virginia Commonwealth University. Under first-year coach Phil Martelli Jr., the Rams earned a co-share of the Atlantic 10 regular-season crown and the No. 2 seed in the tournament. The Rams are 24-7 overall and currently on the bubble for the NCAA tournament.

Action begins in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, March 11 with a pair of first-round games. The semifinals are set for Saturday, March 14 while the championship is set for 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 15, one of the final conference championship games to be played before the NCAA tournament bracket is revealed.

  • Saint Louis: +125
  • VCU +175
  • Dayton: +750
  • Saint Joseph’s: +1200
  • George Washington +1600

Saint Louis enters the 2026 Atlantic 10 Tournament as the favorite to win the conference’s automatic bid.

A10 tournament top players

Here’s a list of some of the top players in the Atlantic 10 this season:

Top 5 scorers

  • DeJour Reaves (Fordham): 17.7 points per game
  • Tarence Guinyard (Duquesne): 16.9 points per game
  • Frank Mitchell (St. Bonaventure): 16.4 points per game
  • Darryl Simmons II (St. Bonaventure): 16.3 points per game
  • Javon Bennett (Santa Clara): 15.9 points per game

  • Cayden Charles (St. Bonaventure): 6.8 rebounds per game

March Madness bubble storylines for Atlantic 10

Much like the case was a few years back when Richmond won the Atlantic 10 over Davidson, the Atlantic 10 has the chance to be a bid-stealer for the NCAA tournament. VCU is the likely candidate to steal a bid by winning the Atlantic 10, as the Rams are currently projected as a ‘Last Four In’ team and playing in the First Four in Dayton after a strong end to the regular season.

Possible other bid-stealers that could come out of the Atlantic 10 include Saint Joseph’s, Dayton and George Mason. The Patriots were once neck-and-neck with Saint Louis for the No. 1 seed, but a late-season collapse dropped them down to the No. 5 seed.
