Winners, losers of the Garrett Wilson extension

Sport 5 Mins Read

The Jets’ top wide receiver is here to stay.

Garrett Wilson and New York agreed to a four-year, $130 million extension Monday, July 14 which makes him one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL.

The No. 10 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Wilson is entering his fourth season in the NFL. He’s been metronomically consistent since entering the league and winning Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. He’s had at least 1,000 yards every year and posted a career-best 101 catches and seven touchdowns last season.

Wilson was one of six wide receivers selected in the first round of 2022 NFL Draft. He ranks first in career catches and receiving yards.

With this deal, the former Ohio State standout is the first New York Jets first-round pick to sign a second contract with the team since 2019 first-rounder Quinnen Williams.

That move secures Wilson’s services through the 2030 NFL season and will make him the fifth-highest paid wide receiver in the league by average annual value (AAV), per OverTheCap.

The deal leaves some winners and losers in its wake. Here’s our picks for each one:

WINNERS

Garrett Wilson

Wilson still had two years left on his rookie deal after the franchise picked up his fifth-year option. This deal takes his compensation up a few notches as he becomes one of the top-paid players at his position a week before he turns 25.

He’s shown an ability to produce well despite mixed to below-average quarterback play. Now, he’ll be compensated well for doing so.

Sauce Gardner

New York has a new regime in general manager Darren Mougey and coach Aaron Glenn. By signing Wilson to this deal, they’ve shown a willingness to pay top talent on the roster that they did not draft.

Gardner, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, should be one of the top-paid cornerbacks in the league on his new extension. His ranking at his position is better than Wilson’s at wide receiver and that should pay off for him during negotiations.

Drake London

London went two picks earlier than Wilson in the same draft and he’s the only one who’s produced near his level. London’s the only other player in that draft class to surpass 3,000 career receiving yards and has 15 touchdowns, tied with Romeo Doubs for most in the class.

London has plenty of leverage now that one of his contemporaries has signed a long-term deal. If Wilson can be a top-five highest-paid wide receiver, London and his representatives can easily make the argument he deserves something at least as good.

Tanner Engstrand

Taking over play-calling for the first time with a new team is a lot for a young offensive coordinator. Engstrand’s got a lot more responsibility on his plate in 2025 than 2024 but having a proven, reliable wide receiver certainly makes things easier.

Next order of business to help Engstrand even more: signing Round 2 pick Mason Taylor.

Terry McLaurin

McLaurin took off for a career-best 13 touchdowns in 2024 thanks to Jayden Daniels’ arrival. He’s been in talks for an extension with the Commanders already this offseason. Getting a similar deal to Wilson’s may be a stretch given his age (30 in September) but McLaurin could get a small bump thanks to Wilson’s big deal.

LOSERS

Atlanta Falcons

As stated earlier, London’s the only receiver from that class with a similar amount of consistency and production to Wilson. He’s arguably a more valuable piece to the Falcons’ offense than Wilson is to the Jets’ unit, meaning he’ll command a higher price.

Chris Olave, Jahan Dotson and Treylon Burks

This could’ve been all of the other first-round wide receivers after Wilson but Jameson Williams is on an upward trajectory after a solid 2024 campaign.

Olave, Wilson’s teammate at Ohio State, is productive when on the field but availability’s been an issue with multiple concussions. Dotson lasted two seasons in Washington before being traded to Philadelphia. Burks is entering year four of his career but still has just one career receiving touchdown.

Wilson’s contract highlights his reliability and production, something the rest of the first-rounders after him have struggled with.

San Francisco 49ers

The news of Wilson’s deal came just hours after news of 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings wanting a new deal ahead of training camp. Jennings won’t get a deal close to Wilson’s but, like with McLaurin, the average salary for a starting wide receiver just ticked up a bit thanks to the deal.

New York Giants

The Giants were the only team in the 2022 NFL Draft with multiple top-10 picks and didn’t make the most of it. No. 5 overall pick Kayvon Thibodeaux took a step back in 2024 and No. 7 overall pick Evan Neal flamed out at tackle and is set to be a backup guard in 2025.

There’s no certainty that the timelines would still align with these changes but Giants fans are surely wondering what life could’ve been like had general manager Joe Schoen and company picked Wilson instead of Neal at No. 7. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart could be entering a situation with Wilson and 2024 first-rounder Malik Nabers had things gone a little differently.

Mariners slugger makes history with Home Run Derby win

Sport 8 Mins Read

ATLANTA — The Big Dumper did it.

After putting together a record-setting first half, Cal Raleigh won Major League Baseball’s 2025 Home Run Derby at Truist Park, earning himself the title of baseball’s top slugger.

The Seattle Mariners slugger who hit 38 home runs before the All-Star break – the second-most in MLB history – dispatched the Tampa Bay Rays’ 22-year-old Junior Caminero in the final, and is the first catcher to win the Home Run Derby.

With his dad pitching and younger brother catching, Raleigh became the second Mariner to be crowned Derby champion, joining Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr., who won it three times.

‘You don’t think you’re gonna win it. You do’t think you’re even going to be invited,’ Raleigh said. ‘Then you get invited and the fact that you win it with your family is super special. What a night.’

But Raleigh’s night almost ended early, advancing out of the first round by less than one inch.

Raleigh and Brent Rooker had finished tied for fourth with 17 homers, with the tiebreaker being their longest home run. That looked tied as well with MLB’s live tracker showing both at 471 feet, but Raleigh’s 470.61-foot homer (literally) inched out Rooker’s 470.53-foot shot.

‘My goodness gracious, it’s close. It’s just crazy,’ Raleigh said after his win. ‘An inch off, and I’m not even in the final four. Just amazing.

‘I guess I got lucky there. One extra biscuit.’

Then, Raleigh came alive in the semifinals, slugging 19 homers to easily defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates’ Oneil Cruz. Cruz had brought the crowd to its feet in the first round, crushing a 513-foot blast – the longest of the night – for the eighth of his 21 home runs.

‘To do it as a family was really special,’ Cal’s dad Todd Raleigh said after the Derby. ‘I don’t know why we’ve been blessed like this … When it involved the family, the complexion changed. And we thought, if he doesn’t hit any home runs, we’re still gonna be good.’

Asked how his son became a switch-hitter, Todd didn’t skip a beat.

‘Did it from the first day, when he was in diapers, literally,’ Todd said. ‘And I would take that big ball and he had a big red bat. I’d throw it slow and he’d hit it. Then I’d say stay there, pick him up, turn him around, switch his hands and do it again.’

Byron Buxton, who hit 20 in the first round, fell to Caminero in the other semifinal.

Also eliminated in the first round were the Washington Nationals’ James Wood (16 HR), hometown favorite Matt Olson (15) and New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm (3).

Here’s how the night unfolded at Truist Park:

Home Run Derby final: Cal Raleigh beats Junior Caminero

The final is set with Cal Raleigh facing Junior Caminero.

  • Raleigh led off in the final and had a blast, slugging 18 home runs – which is going to be a tough number for Caminero to beat.
  • Caminero pepped the right field seats with homers and ended regulation with 14, setting up a dramatic bonus period where he needed four to tie Raleigh. Caminero only managed one, making Raleigh the 2025 champion.

Cal Raleigh defeats Oneil Cruz

  • After getting into the semifinals by a literal Big Dumper came alive in the semifinal with 19 home runs.
  • Cruz crushed it in the first round, but came up short in the semifinals with 13 homers to end his night.

Junior Caminero defeats Byron Buxton

  • Buxton hit seven home runs in his semifinal round, unable to find the late burst that powered him out of the first round.
  • Caminero walked it off with his eighth home run, advancing to the final where he will face Cal Raleigh or Oneil Cruz.

Home Run Derby semifinals set

It’ll be Byron Buxton vs. Junior Caminero and Oneil Cruz vs. Cal Raleigh in the knockout stage, with the winners advancing to the final.

Home Run Derby score sheet: Live stats from first round

* Advances to semifinals // ^ Eliminated

Cal Raleigh advances to semifinals by matter of inches

With only one spot left in the semifinals Cal Raleigh and Brent Rooker each finished the first round with 17 home runs. The tiebreaker was longest home run distance, which appeared tied initially. But Raleigh’s longest went 470.61 feet while Rooker’s traveled 470.53 – a tie broken by 0.08 feet.

Hometown hero Matt Olson comes up short

With the Truist Field fans behind him, the Braves’ first baseman locked in and finished regular time with 15 home runs – but failed to hit another in bonus time to force his way into the semifinaks.

Cal Raleigh switches it up, hits 17

Jazz Chisholm Jr. turns in ugly performance

The Yankees infielder was booed after his round, hitting just three home runs to ensure a quick elimination. Chisholm struggled mightily, fouling a number of swings straight back into the stands.

Byron Buxton puts himself in position with 20 HR

The Minnesota Twins’ Georgia native hit 20 home runs in his round, the longest traveling 466 feet. He’s in third place with three batters remaining, and can only watch as he awaits his fate.

Oneil Cruz hit a baseball 513 feet

The Pittsburgh Pirates’ center fielder brought the Truist Park crowd to its feet, launching home runs that traveled 513 and 488 feet. He finished the round with 21, tying him for the lead halfway through.

Junior Caminero tees off: 21 homers to take the lead

The Tampa Bay Rays third baseman is in the lead after three hitters, crushing 21 home run in his round.

Brent Rooker next up: 17 home runs

The Athletics right-hander moved to the top of the leaderboard with 17 home runs, his longest traveling 471 feet.

James Wood leads off Home Run Derby

The Washington Nationals’ second-year slugger was first up and had a huge round, hitting 16 homers with a longest shot of 486 feet.

Who is in the Home Run Derby?

(Home run totals at the All-Star break)

  • Cal Raleigh, Mariners: 38
  • James Wood, Nationals: 24
  • Junior Caminero, Rays: 21
  • Byron Buxton, Twins: 21
  • Brent Rooker, Athletics: 20
  • Matt Olson, Braves: 17
  • Jazz Chisholm, Yankees: 17
  • Oneil Cruz, Pirates: 16

Cal Raleigh: ‘The Big Dumper’ makes Home Run Derby a family affair

ATLANTA — When Cal Raleigh steps to the plate for his first swing at the Home Run Derby, his past, present and future coalesce. Pitching is his father Todd, the former Western Carolina and Tennessee coach, the man who dragged young Cal along to practices and batboy opportunities and built a workout facility at their North Carolina home.

Home Run Derby odds

Home Run Derby rules, new format

The 2025 Home Run Derby features three rounds: the first round, semifinals and finals.

In the first round, the hitters have three minutes or 40 pitches (whichever comes first) to hit as many home runs as they can. Each player gets a bonus period that lasts until they take three swings that don’t result in a homer. If a home run of 425 feet or longer is hit during the bonus time, the hitter gets a fourthout

The four players with the highest totals advance to the semifinals – with first-round ties being broken by the player who hit the longest home run in their round.

The semifinals becomes a knockout format, with players seeded Nos. 1-4 based on their first-round totals. Players have two minutes or 27 pitches in the semifinals and finals. Ties in the semifinal are broken by a 60-second ‘swing-off.’

Each batter gets one 45-second timeout – but timeouts be called during bonus periods or tiebreakers.

Who won last year’s Home Run Derby?

Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was crowned 2024 Home Run Derby champion after defeating Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. in the finals.

Hernandez slugged 14 homers in the final round, one more than Witt, to become the first Dodgers player to win the Derby title.

‘Last five weeks have been insane’: Brewers’ surprise All-Star taking it in

Sport 3 Mins Read

ATLANTA — Like it or not, Milwaukee Brewers phenom Jacob Misiorowski is an All-Star.

His five career big-league games are the fewest in All-Star history, eclipsing Paul Skenes’ record-low 11 starts last year.

Major League Baseball’s Midsummer Classic is the undoubtedly the best All-Star event in American sports — but it’s not without its flaws.

The game’s rosters have become watered down in recent decades with 81 players — withdrawals and replacements included — being named All-Stars for the 2025 game. That’s up from 62 in 1995.

There’s now rules regarding which pitchers can and cannot be named replacement All-Stars depending on when they made their last start and/or if they’re willing to pitch in the game itself.

More and more players are opting not to participate so they can rest up for the second half.

Which brings us to Misiorowski, who was named an All-Star just days before the game, and finds himself adjacent to some scorn and facing questions about whether he deserves to be in Atlanta.

“What a joke,” Phillies shortstop Trea Turner said after Misiorowski’s inclusion was announced. “That’s (expletive) terrible. … I mean, it’s not the All-Star Game in the sense that the best players go there, or people who have had the best season. It’s whoever sells the most tickets or has been put on social media the most. That’s essentially what it’s turned into.”

But MLB reached out to multiple players before Misiorowski, all of whom declined to participate.

For his part, Misiorowski is simply here to ball.

‘It’s just one of those things where you look at and go ‘oh well,” the 23-year-old said, asked about the Phillies’ comments. ‘I don’t think the guys are coming after me. I don’t think it’s anything that I did in particular … It was just a decision that was made and you’ve got to live it.

‘It is what it is.’

Misiorowski, who stands 6-foot-7, says it’s been a whirlwind since making his MLB debut on June 12, when he tossed five no-hit innings against the St. Louis Cardinals.

‘The last five weeks have been insane,’ Misiorowski said with a smile. ‘I was hoping for the All-Star break to be one of those times where you could sit back and kind of reflect on everything.

‘But we’re here now and we’re doing this.’

National League manager Dave Roberts defended the inclusion of Misiorowski, who is 4-1 with a 2.81 ERA and 33 strikeouts in his five starts, touching 103 mph.

‘My North Star is the All-Star Game should be the game’s best players. It’s about the fans and what they want to see,’ Roberts said. ‘So for this young kid to be named an All-Star, I couldn’t be more excited for him. …

‘It’s an easy answer because if it brings excitement, attention to our game, then I’m all about it.’

Misiorowski will get to pitch in the fifth, sixth or seventh inning of the game, Roberts said.

The NL skipper noted that while baseball has evolved as needed in recent years, All-Star rosters moving forward are part of ‘deeper conversations’ and that ‘the commissioner and player’s association are still going to be digging into’ best practices.

While Misiorowski might be the talk of the All-Star Game, the guy who was pitching for Class AAA Nashville last month is just taking it all in.

‘It’s so cool to be in the locker room with Shohei (Ohtani), Freddie Freeman, Chris Sale, all those guys,’ he said. ‘It’s a lot of fun.’

Is It Time to Lower Our Market Expectations?

Stock 3 Mins Read

I remain very bullish and U.S. stocks have run hard to the upside off the April low with growth stocks leading the way. I expect growth stocks to remain strong throughout the summer months, as they historically do, but we need to recognize that they’ve already seen tremendous upside. Could technology (XLK) names, in particular, use a period of consolidation? Well, if we look at a 5-year weekly chart, the XLK really isn’t that overbought just yet:

The weekly PPO has crossed its centerline and is gaining bullish momentum. The recent price breakout suggests to me that we likely have further to run. And if you look at the weekly RSI, you’ll note that we’ve seen the weekly RSI move well into the 70s and even close to 80 before witnessing a market top or pause. Outside a bit of profit taking, I really don’t see the likelihood of a big selloff here. Keep in mind that the XLK represents 31% of the S&P 500. If the XLK doesn’t slow down, it’s very unlikely that we’ll see any type of meaningful decline in the S&P 500 either.

Growth vs. Value

Growth stocks have historically performed well over the summer months. One way to visualize this is to compare large-cap growth (IWF) to large-cap value (IWD) using a seasonality chart. Check this out:

The average monthly outperformance since 2013 is reflected at the bottom of each month’s column. If you add those numbers for May through August, you get +5.4%. If you add those numbers for the other 8 months combined, you get +0.6%. Clearly, large-cap growth has the tendency to outperform value from May through August. We’re in the growth “sweet spot” right now.

So Should We Lower Our Market Expectations?

I say absolutely not. Yes, we’ve run substantially higher off that April low, but I see more left in the tank. Will we see profit taking from time to time and could we see a period of consolidation? Sure. But I still believe that remaining on the sidelines is a big mistake as plenty of market upside remains. In fact, I see another somewhat forgotten asset class that’s poised to scorch 50% higher or more, possibly over the next 6 months. I’m investing in this area now, as I believe it’s in the early stages of a significant rally, and believe it would be prudent for you to take a look as well. For more information, simply CLICK HERE, provide your name and email address, and I’ll send you a video that explains exactly why I’m favoring this group right now!

Happy trading!

Tech 5: NVIDIA Hits Market Cap Milestone, Harmonic Raises US$100 Million

Investing 5 Mins Read

NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) became the first publicly traded company to hit a US$4 trillion market cap this week.

Meanwhile, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) made headlines with a major leadership change as rumors of a lineup of upcoming product releases circulated, and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) deepened ties with one of its hardware partners.

In the chip market, Huawei is trying to capitalize on the gap left by NVIDIA’s chips in China, while a startup is stepping up its efforts to help meet its ambitious plans to expand artificial intelligence (AI) chip delivery to Saudi Arabia.

1. Apple announces leadership shift

On Tuesday (July 8), Apple announced that Jeff Williams, its longtime chief operating officer, will retire at the end of 2025, ending a tenure that spanned decades and included overseeing hardware, software and operations.

“Jeff and I have worked alongside each other for as long as I can remember, and Apple wouldn’t be what it is without him,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook in a press release. “He’s helped to create one of the most respected global supply chains in the world; launched Apple Watch and overseen its development; architected Apple’s health strategy; and led our world-class team of designers with great wisdom, heart, and dedication.’

Williams will be succeeded by Sabih Khan, Apple’s senior vice president of operations, who has played a key role in managing Apple’s global supply chain.

In other Apple news, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday (July 9) that Apple plans to release its first hardware upgrade to the Vision Pro headset later this year. Anonymous sources say the upgrades will include a a new strap for added comfort, will incorporate the same M4 processor powering newer versions of the iPad Pro, MacBook Pri and iMac, and will incorporate a great number of cores in the neural engine to run AI more effectively.

The company is also working on a lighter version slated for release in 2027, according to the people.

The company is planning a series of product upgrades for the first half of 2026, including a new entry-level iPhone 17e, refreshed MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs with M5 chips and potentially a new external display, according to multiple reports this week. Entry-level iPad and iPad Air will reportedly also receive updates.

2. Meta makes eyewear bet

Meta acquired a nearly 3 percent stake in luxury eyewear maker EssilorLuxottica (EPA:EL), the creator of Ray-Bans and the manufacturing partner for Meta’s smart glasses, including the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta lines. This is according to a Tuesday report from Bloomberg that cites unnamed sources with knowledge of the matter.

The stake is reportedly worth around 3 billion euros. According to the people, Meta is considering increasing its stake to approximately 5 percent “over time,” but noted that the plans could change.

3. Huawei seeks to step in amid US restrictions

Huawei is reportedly developing a new class of AI chips designed to support more generalized AI workloads, according to the Information, which broke the news on July 5.

According to the report, Huawei’s chip will be built around an architecture resembling that of NVIDIA’s GPU architecture (like Hopper or Blackwell) and Advanced Micro Devices’ CDNA architecture (used in their Instinct GPUs), which would allow Chinese developers to seamlessly incorporate the alternative.

Huawei’s pivot reflects China’s broader effort to bolster domestic chip capabilities as export restrictions from the US limit its access to advanced semiconductors. NVIDIA’s highly sought-after Blackwell GPUs are difficult for Chinese developers to legally acquire, leading to the development of downgraded, China-specific versions and a drive by Chinese firms to secure the chips through other means or source high-end alternatives.

Illustrating these efforts, recent Bloomberg analysis reveals ambitious plans by Chinese companies to acquire over 115,000 high-end NVIDIA chips for dozens of new AI data centers rising in the remote desert regions of Yiwu.

4. Harmonic raises US$100 million for ‘Superintelligence’

Harmonic AI, a stealth-mode AI company co-founded by Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) CEO Vlad Tenev, has raised US$100 million in a Series B funding round led by Kleiner Perkins. Sequoia Capital, Index Ventures and Paradigm also participated in the round, which brought the company’s valuation to US$875 million.

Founded in 2023 by Tenev and Tudor Achim, who previously led autonomous driving startup Helm.ai, the startup is focused on building “smarter” AI models using a concept it calls “Mathematical Superintelligence.’

Its flagship model, Aristotle, is being trained to generate answers grounded in formal mathematical logic. On Bloomberg News, Tenev has said the company’s goal was to build AI systems that can solve the type of complex math problems that currently elude chatbots, eventually expanding its capabilities to physics and computer science.

Harmonic also aims to eliminate chatbot hallucinations through formal verification, a mathematical method that guarantees correct AI system function.

The startup wants to make the model available to researchers and the general public later this year.

5. Groq seeks US$6 billion valuation to fuel Saudi AI ambitions

The Information reported on Wednesday that Groq, a US-based AI chip startup and challenger to NVIDIA, is seeking to raise between US$300 million and US$500 million in a new funding round that would value it at US$6 billion.

Groq’s language processing units (LPUs) are known for their fast inferencing technology.

Unlike general-purpose GPUs, which were originally made for graphics and then adapted for AI, Groq’s LPUs were designed specifically to process language.

According to the report, the funding would help Groq fulfill a US$1.5 billion deal to deliver advanced AI chips to Saudi Arabia. With its ambitious Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia is actively pursuing a role as a global AI and technology hub, driving its interest in obtaining cutting-edge chips.

  • Project-wide exploration activities focused on drill target refinement are ongoing, including:

    • Over 20-line km of induced polarization (IP) geophysics has been completed along the JD Porphyry Trend.

    • Over 1,000 soil samples have now been collected across the Belle South grid, the southern extent of the JD Porphyry trend.

    • Geological mapping and prospecting are ongoing with a current focus on McClair Creek which transects the JD Porphyry Trend. Mapping has also been completed along the Finn to Creek Corridor as well as the Oxide Peak West target.

‘It’s exciting to see the drill rig turning on the first hole of our fully funded $6 million exploration program,’ said Niel Marotta, CEO of Sun Summit Minerals. ‘This year’s campaign is focused on advancing and expanding the Creek and Finn gold-silver targets, while also generating and refining new priority targets across the JD Project. With several large regional programs underway in the northern Toodoggone, we expect a steady stream of news throughout the season, including drill results from our own aggressive 5,000 metre program.’

JD Exploration Program

The primary exploration goals at the JD Project are to advance and expand the Creek and Finn gold-silver targets and to generate and refine new priority targets across the project. Work is currently focused on the highly prospective 4.5 km long epithermal-related Finn to Creek corridor, as well as the 12 km long JD Porphyry trend (Figure 2).

Drilling update: Drilling has now commenced with the rig advancing the first hole of the program at the Creek Zone. Up to 3,000 meters of drilling is planned at the Creek Zone with holes designed to investigate the extent and continuity of near-surface, high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold mineralization (e.g., 122.53 m of 2.11 g/t Au including 1.5 of 121.0 g/t Au in CZ-24-0047 and 22.0 m of 11.7 g/t Au including 4.0 m of 61.2 g/t Au in CZ97-0085, Figure 3). Following completion of the Creek Zone holes, the drill rig will move to the Finn zone where up to 2,000 meters of drilling is planned with holes designed to evaluate the extent and continuity of near-surface high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold mineralization (Figure 4).

Target generation update: Project-wide exploration activities aimed at target generation and drill target refinement are ongoing, including:

  • Over 20-line km of induced polarization (IP) geophysical surveying has been completed along the JD Porphyry trend east of the Finn Zone. Additional surveying is planned across parts of the Finn to Creek corridor to infill historical gaps.
  • Over 1,000 soil samples have now been collected across the Belle South grid, southern extent of the porphyry trend (Figure 2). Once complete, sampling will continue across the Kadah grid which covers a highly prospective area south of the Finn to Creek corridor lacking historical soil coverage.
  • Geological mapping and prospecting are ongoing with a current focus on McClair Creek which transects the JD Porphyry trend. Mapping has also been completed along the Finn to Creek corridor as well as the Oxide Peak West target. Mapping will continue east towards the East McClair target (Figure 2).

Timeline: Drilling and complementary exploration activities are anticipated to continue into September.

Stallion Uranium Announces the Completion of Coyote Project 3D Gravity Inversion

Investing 7 Mins Read

 

Stallion Uranium Corp. (the ‘ Company ‘ or ‘ Stallion ‘ ) (TSX-V: STUD ; OTCQB: STLNF ; FSE: FE0) is pleased to report the results from the 3D inversion of ground gravity data over the Coyote Target, located within the Southwestern Athabasca Basin Joint Venture (‘ JV ‘) Project in partnership with Atha Energy Corp. (‘Atha Energy’) (TSX-V: SASK) .

 

‘The inversion modelling at Coyote has delineated a laterally extensive and coherent gravity low, spatially coincident with a structurally complex corridor exhibiting attributes characteristic of fertile uranium-bearing systems within the Athabasca Basin,’ said Matthew Schwab, CEO of Stallion Uranium Corp. ‘The robustness of the geophysical anomaly, in conjunction with the structural and lithological setting, provides compelling evidence supporting Coyote as a high-priority target for drill testing.’

 

  Highlights:  

 

  • 3D gravity inversion completed and interpreted by leading geophysical experts specializing in the Athabasca Basin

    •  

  • Identified multiple gravity-low anomalies along a major conductive corridor

    •  

  • A prominent, coherent gravity-low feature interpreted as a zone of alteration along an interpreted structural corridor

    •  

  • Strong correlation between the gravity anomalies and conductive breaks identified from the MobileMT survey

    •  

The inversion results highlight a gravity-low anomaly commonly associated with significant uranium mineralization systems in the Athabasca Basin. The modelled anomaly defines the low-density feature’s depth extent, shape, and continuity, further supporting the potential for large-scale uranium alteration at Coyote.

 

‘The 3D gravity inversion provides a powerful validation of the overall prospectivity at Coyote,’ said Darren Slugoski, Vice President, Exploration at Stallion Uranium. ‘The inversion highlights a series of at least five compelling targets within an 8.5 km corridor. We are well-positioned to take the next steps toward discovery with a subsequent ground EM survey (currently being interpreted by Convolutions Geoscience) in addition to a focused and systematic drill program.’

 

The inversion results visualize subsurface density variations, with the anomaly’s geometry and intensity suggesting prolonged fluid movement and alteration; critical vectors toward uranium mineralization. The alignment of the gravity-low with previously defined conductive trends and interpreted structural corridors underscores a compelling geological model. The results validate the exploration strategy at Coyote and refine the prioritization of drill targets based on integrated geophysical and structural frameworks.

  Background; Regional First Vertical Derivative Magnetics, targets denoted by purple outlines  

 

‘The 3D gravity inversion model at Coyote reveals a well-defined low-density anomaly that is both laterally extensive and vertically continuous,’ said Kyle Patterson, P. Geo., Principal Geophysicist at Convolutions Geoscience, a leading consulting firm specializing in advanced geophysical modelling and geologic integration. ‘This type of geophysical signature is commonly associated with deep-seated structural zones and extensive hydrothermal alteration; both key indicators in targeting basement-hosted uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin. The spatial correlation with interpreted MobileMT conductors, observed alteration patterns, and interpreted shear zones further support the interpretation that the Coyote project hosts the ideal geological pathfinders for a significant uranium system.’

  About Kyle Patterson:  

 

Kyle Patterson, P. Geo., is the Chief Geophysicist and founder of Convolutions Geoscience, a geophysical consulting firm specializing in advanced modelling and interpretation techniques for mineral exploration. With over 15 years of experience in the industry and a focus on high-resolution geoscientific data integration in the Athabasca Basin, Kyle has worked extensively with uranium explorers to define and refine targets using gravity, magnetics, and EM inversion modelling. His expertise is in interpreting complex structural and alteration systems, bridging geophysics with geological understanding to drive discovery-focused exploration.

 

  Gravity Data Inversion:  

 

Convolutions Geoscience inverted the ground gravity data, utilizing industry-standard 3D inversion techniques to estimate subsurface density variations from the processed gravity data. The objective was to assist in delineating alteration zones of interest for uranium exploration.

 

Convolutions Geoscience carried out a 3D inversion of the gravity data to create a voxel product of subsurface density anomalies using the industry-standard Fullagar Vertical Prism Magnetic and Gravity (VPmg) codes. The inputs into the inversion were the free air anomaly from the dataset; lake bathymetry data for water depth; digital terrain model (DTM) for the project area, in addition to NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data for surrounding areas; and density constraints for sandstone cover rocks above the unconformity as well as basement rocks below the unconformity. Convolutions created a VPmg gravity inversion using 40m x 40m surface XY blocks and Z blocks of 10m at the surface, increasing by 5% at depth. The total model block depth exceeds 10km.

Wimbledon men’s final: Jannik Sinner defeats Carlos Alcaraz in 4 sets

Sport 9 Mins Read

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner denied No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz a three-peat at Wimbledon, winning the latest edition of tennis’ best rivalry in four sets – and avenging his loss to Alcaraz at the French Open.

After dropping the opening set, Sinner took control of the match behind his overpowering serve to win his fourth career Grand Slam title, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.

Two-time defending champion Alcaraz of Spain was no match for the Italian’s serve, which only seemed to get better as the match progressed. In the end, Sinner was able to prevent the kind of comeback Alcaraz staged at the French.

‘I had a very tough loss in Paris, but at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter how you win or you lose the important tournaments, you have to understand what you did wrong, try to work on that. That’s exactly what we did,’ Sinner said after the match.

‘We tried to accept the loss and just kept working and this is for sure one of the reasons why I hold this trophy right here.’

For Sinner, it was his first Wimbledon title and his first Grand Slam victory on anything other than a hard court – after he won the 2024 and 2025 Australian Open and 2024 U.S. Open. He becomes the first Italian to win the men’s singles title at Wimbledon.

‘We would never have thought we would be in this position back in the days when I was young,’ Sinner said he discussed with his coaches before the match. ‘This was only a dream of the dream because it was so far away where I’m from.

‘I’m just living my dream, so it’s amazing.’

Look back as USA TODAY followed all the action from Centre Court.

Live score: Men’s Wimbledon final

Sinner finishes off Alcaraz in four sets

A brilliant backhand service return down the line gave Sinner an early service break in the fourth set at 2-1. And he never let Alcaraz have an opening to break back.

The two-time defending champion tried to rally the Centre Court crowd behind him, but each time Sinner was able to combat the pressure.

Sinner was able to keep his foot on the accelerator throughout the final set, holding serve to close out the match. His last serve came off his racket at 137 mph, his fastest of the final.

Sinner gains the upper hand after winning third set

Could sweet revenge be in the cards for Jannik Sinner?

Looking to reverse the outcome of their classic French Open final, Sinner took the third set against Alcaraz with a powerful array of shotmaking. On his third break point of the set, Sinner came through with the winner he needed – helping him take control of the match with a two sets to one lead.

With the score even at 4-all and Alcaraz serving, Sinner crushed a forehand winner to put himself in position for the break. He capitalized when Alcaraz slipped on a deep baseline return, putting away the easy backhand volley into the open court.

Sinner then locked down the set with a couple powerful overhead shots and a service winner to close out the set 6-4.

Sinner did not have an ace in the first two sets, but he powered in six during the third.

Sinner evens the match with strong second set

These two tennis titans could be headed for second consecutive instant classic in a Grand Slam final.

After taking the opening set, Alcaraz couldn’t keep the momentum going at the start of Set 2. Sinner bounced back to record a service break in the opening game and – unlike in the opening set – he didn’t let Alcaraz come back.

Showing some uncharacteristic emotion, the usually mild-mannered Sinner gestured after several key points during the set. He closed it out with some great athleticism to win the final point on a cross-court stunner.

Alcaraz takes first set

Carlos Alcaraz rallied from an early deficit to win the final four games and take the opening set against Jannik Sinner.

After both players held serve their first two times, Sinner recorded the match’s first service break in the fifth game, winning the final four points with some aggressive returns.

But Alcaraz battled back to even the set at four games apiece thanks to a pair of unforced errors by Sinner on his serve.

Alcaraz broke Sinner once more to take the set, as Sinner double-faulted at deuce and Alcaraz hit an amazing return that just barely cleared the net for the clinching point.

Sinner, Alcaraz take the court

There’s a slight delay, but we’re now just moments away from the start of the gentlemen’s singles final at Wimbledon.

Alcaraz will serve first.

Matthew McConnaughey, Prince William, Princess Kate on hand

Among the celebrities spotted in the crowd: Actors Keira Knightley and Matthew McConnaughey, and recording artist Seal. There’s a royal presence in the audience as well.

What surface is Wimbledon played on?

Wimbledon generally produces faster tennis and more volleys than the other majors, and balls do not bounce nearly as high. The surface can also be slippery at times, especially compared to hardcourts.

‘You have to be more focused on the footwork here,’ Carlos Alcaraz told The Athletic after winning his second Wimbledon men’s singles championship in 2024. ‘Moving on grass is the key to everything on grass. I can’t slide as I do on clay or on a hard court.’ — John Leuzzi

Where is Wimbledon held?

  • Location: All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club (London)

The 138th edition of the Wimbledon Championships is being held at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club on Church Road in London. It is the 103rd time that the Grand Slam event has been held on Church Road, a streak that dates back to 1922.

The Grand Slam event hasn’t always been held at the All England Club on Church Road, however. From 1877 through 1921, the Wimbledon Championships were held at the former All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club location on Worple Road in London. — John Leuzzi
