Grande Portage Resources (TSXV:GPG) is informing the market of the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities' (DOT&PF) advancing infrastructure development at Cascade Point, site of the company's planned ore shipping terminal.
The DOT&PF recently began a design-build contracting process for phase 1 of the Cascade Point Passenger Ferry Terminal, which will cost between US$20-$30 million and includes earthworks, site preparation, procurement of materials, construction of a replacement bridge for heavy equipment access and construction of a new access road for year-round use.
Grande Portage's ore terminal – which can be developed independently of and prior to the ferry terminal – may benefit from certain infrastructure, including the access road and bridge, should the terminal proceed first, reducing both time and development costs.

The ore terminal is anchored by a letter of intent between Grande Portage and Goldbelt, owner of Cascade Point, to jointly advance a facility to transport sorted material from the company's New Amalga gold project to a third-party processor.
New Amalga's 2024 resource estimate came in at almost 2 million ounces of gold and over 1.2 million ounces of silver indicated plus inferred, representing over US$6.6 billion in the ground at the time of writing. Leadership insights
'We are extremely pleased to see the State of Alaska advancing the Cascade Point Passenger Ferry Terminal towards construction,' Ian Klassen, Grande Portage Resources' president and chief executive officer, said in a statement. 'In the future, Grande Portage and Goldbelt intend to further develop the site by adding a freight barge terminal for transportation of ore from the New Amalga gold project to a third-party processing facility. This dual-use of the site will maximize the benefits to the local economy and create long-term job opportunities for the community of Juneau.' About Grande Portage Resources

Fall of Mongolian coalition government could lead to severe economic downturn
Mongolia faces a crunch parliamentary vote on Monday which could lead to fall of coalition government New analysis from Mongolian Economic Development Board indicates this could lead to a sharp fall in national income and foreign direct investment (FDI), as well as spiralling inflation Political instability will jeopardise economic progress achieved in the last few years ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia, May 31, 2025 /CNW/ -- As Mongolia's parliament prepares to vote on Monday on whether the country's coalition government should remain in office, new economic analysis warns that the demise of the government could see the size of Mongolia's economy contract by over 20% within six months, and FDI fall by almost 40% year-on-year. Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene called on Wednesday for members of the Great State Khural to decide on whether the coalition government, which has been in place since last June's parliamentary elections, should remain as a way of ending recent political instability. The Prime Minister is due to address the Khural on Monday ahead of a 'confidence vote' – likely to be deemed one of the most important moments in Mongolia's political history since becoming a democracy in the early 1990s. As the vote approaches, new economic data – which can be viewed in full here – produced by Mongolia's Economic Development Board warns of the scale of the economic hit Mongolia could face, namely: A 22% reduction in Gross National Income within six months A 12.2% increase in inflation within a year Year-on-year unemployment rising to 2.5% The Mongolian Tugrik depreciating against the US Dollar by 17.9% by the end of 2025 An 18-point year-on-year decrease in Mongolia's Political Stability Index These forecasts are in line with the experiences of other countries where political instability has had a negative impact on the economy, including following the fall of a coalition government: According to data from the World Bank and other key sources, the coalition breakdown in Estonia caused FDI to tumble from 7.54% in 2021, to 0.74% in 2024, and its economic growth to stall from 7.3% in 2021, to -0.9% in 2024 An international study analysing data from up to 169 countries between 1960 and 2004 has concluded that high levels of political instability are associated with lower GDP per capita growth, particularly due to declining productivity growth and reduced accumulation of physical and human capital Commenting, Dr Batnasan B., Professor at the Business School of the National University of Mongolia and Member of the Economic Development Board, said: " The latest data clearly highlights the potential economic consequences of a collapse in Mongolia's coalition government: a sharp economic downturn, runaway inflation, and a rise in unemployment. "It is entirely appropriate that elected representatives decide who governs the country. But it is equally important that such decisions are made with full access to the facts and a clear understanding of the potential risks. "The Economic Development Board's analysis—combined with lessons from other countries that have faced similar circumstances—presents a compelling warning: all the hard-won economic progress Mongolia has achieved in recent years could be jeopardized if Monday's vote results in increased political instability." This new analysis, as well as precedent from around the world, clearly shows the magnitude of the decision to be taken by lawmakers on Monday, and the jeopardy to the significant economic progress Mongolia has made since the COVID-19 pandemic, including adding $9 billion USD to its economy and increasing GDP per capita by an additional $2,400.

EverGen Infrastructure Reports Q1 2025 Results
EverGen Infrastructure Corp. ('EverGen' or the 'Company') (TSXV: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF), today reported financial results as at and for Q1 2025. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated and have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Financial Highlights for Q1 2025: Revenues of $1.9 million for Q1 2025 decreased 41% compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by reduced volumes (due to unexpected operating disturbances) resulting in lower tip fee revenue at the Company's organic waste and composting facilities. These declines were partially offset by increased RNG production and associated revenues from FVB and GrowTEC, as well as tip fee increases at the Company's composting facilities. Net loss of $1.2 million for Q1 2025 improved by 11% compared to the same period last year, primarily due to lower direct operating costs, depreciation and amortization expense, and finance costs, partially offset by lower revenues and a decrease in insurance proceeds. Adjusted EBITDA of $0.5 million for Q1 2025 decreased by $0.2 million compared to the same period last year, primarily due to reduced revenues and lower insurance proceeds, partially offset by a decrease in direct operating costs and an increase in non-recurring general and administrative expenses. RNG production reached a new quarterly record in Q1 2025, driven by the continued ramp-up and stabilization of the FVB RNG expansion project. The FVB facility achieved monthly RNG production record exceeding 12,000 gigajoules (GJs) in both March and April 2025, surpassing the previous high of 11,186 GJs in September 2024. A daily production record of 640 GJs was also set in October 2024.
