Greenridge Exploration acquires Raven Uranium Project in Saskatchewan, Canada
Greenridge Exploration has acquired the Raven Uranium Project in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada, through low-cost staking, with no underlying royalties.
The project comprises four mineral claims spread over 6,269 hectares (ha) and is located near the McArthur River Uranium Mine.
The Raven Uranium Project, now 100% owned by Greenridge, is positioned near the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin, around 65km south-east of the McArthur River Uranium Mine.
Greenridge Exploration's acquisition includes new claims that are contiguous to a single claim already in the company's possession.
Raven is characterised by more than 9km of a historical electromagnetic conductor aligned with a magnetic low, indicative of potential uranium mineralisation.
The region is known for its structural trends, which, when intersected by brittle faults, are considered highly prospective for uranium deposits. Despite its promising features, Raven has no known historical drill-holes, leading Greenridge to consider the property under-explored.
Greenridge possesses data from a 2021 high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey conducted over Raven.
This technology previously aided in the discovery of uranium-bearing boulders at Patterson Lake, leading to the notable Triple R find in November 2012.
Although follow-up prospecting based on historical radiometric surveys has been limited, the company has recommended conducting further surface work.
The company is considering a helicopter-borne electromagnetic survey in 2025, which may coincide with other planned surveys in the area.
In October of the previous year, Greenridge Exploration signed a binding agreement to acquire ALX Resources, marking a strategic move to become a dominant player in the Canadian uranium exploration sector.
This merger creates a combined entity with interests in 16 uranium exploration projects covering approximately 220,000ha across the Athabasca Basin, Thelon Basin and Elliot Lake.

Guest list for G7 summit tells of global challenges
The G7 may be a small, elite club, but when its leaders gather in Canada, several other national heads will attend as guests -- highlighting the group's efforts to adapt to a fast-changing world. The leaders of India, Ukraine, Mexico, South Africa and South Korea are among a carefully selected guest list drawn up at a time of global turmoil and a radical new US approach to world affairs. Summit invitations have become part of the G7 routine, and the host nation often likes to make a "welcome-to-this-exclusive-club" gesture, Ananya Kumar, of the Atlantic Council's GeoEconomics Center, told AFP. "The leaders want to meet each other, and you'll see the guests being a part of most of the work that happens." Some hosts "really want certain guests there to show their significance in the global economy," she added. This year's summit in the Canadian Rockies comes as the G7's share of world GDP has fallen from 63 percent in 1992 to 44 percent today, and as member nations deliberate on troubled relations with China and Russia. "It's important to think of who will be there in the room as they're making these decisions," Kumar said ahead of the three-day event that mixes leadership meetings with "the nitty-gritty ministerial work." Fifty years ago, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States formed the G6, first meeting at a French chateau, before Canada joined the following year. Russia itself was a guest in the early 1990s, becoming a full member of the G8 in 1998 before being expelled in 2014. Notable guests for the summit that starts Sunday include: - Ukraine - President Volodymyr Zelensky's presence in Canada is a sign of continuing broad G7 support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia's invasion -- despite Donald Trump's skepticism. The US president regularly criticizes Zelensky and has upended the West's supply of vital military, financial and intelligence assistance to Ukraine. Zelensky aims to use the summit to press for more US sanctions on Moscow, saying last week "I count on having a conversation" with Trump, who wants a quick peace deal. - India - Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the last G7 summit as India -- the most populous nation in the world -- takes an evermore important role in geopolitics. But his invitation this year was far from certain. Relations between India and Canada have turned sour over accusations of New Delhi's involvement in the assassination of a Sikh activist in Canada. Modi and new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will have a chance to reset ties. India is also a leading member of BRICS -- a more fractured bloc that includes Russia and China, but which has growing economic clout and is increasingly seen as a G7 rival. - Mexico - President Claudia Sheinbaum's invitation means Canada has ensured that all three members of the USMCA free trade agreement will be present. Trump is seeking to transform the deal when it is up for review next year, as he pursues his global tariff war aimed at shifting manufacturing back to the United States. Enrique Millan-Mejia, of the Atlantic Council's Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center, said he expected Mexico to use the summit to touch base with United States on tariffs and the USMCA, but he forecast no major breakthroughs. - South Africa - President Cyril Ramaphosa can expect a friendlier welcome than he got from Trump last month, when their Oval Office meeting included a surprise video alleging the South African government was overseeing the genocide of white farmers. Ramaphosa may hope he can make progress repairing badly strained ties via a quiet word with Trump away from the cameras. The former anti-apartheid activist is attending the summit as South Africa holds the current presidency of the wider G20 group, and he said he plans to push its agenda in Canada. - South Korea - Carney appears keen to expand the event to bring in other partners that hold views generally aligned with core members. South Korea fits the bill and has emerged since the Ukraine war as a major defense exporter to Europe, although it has stopped short of directly sending arms to Kyiv. Newly elected President Lee Jae-myung, who comes from the left, will attend after winning a snap election triggered by his predecessor's disastrous martial law declaration. bgs/sct/des

Diver Explores Sunken Warship—What He Sees Leaves Him Stunned
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Divers exploring off the coast of British Columbia, Canada, have shared the amazing discovery among a 28-year-old shipwreck that is now teaming with life once more. Diver Carl Sorensen, 44, who has been exploring British Columbia's waters for four years, recently documented a remarkable dive along the starboard bow of HMCS Saskatchewan off Nanaimo, Vancouver Island. A retired Canadian warship, the vessel was intentionally sunk to create an artificial reef. In the last 28 years, it has transformed into a thriving underwater sanctuary—teeming with plumose anemones, rockfish, and towering cloud sponges. HMCS Saskatchewan was purchased by the Artificial Reef Society of British Columbia and extensive preparations were made to convert the vessel into a safe and accessible artificial reef for divers. It was sunk in 1997 and what once served in the Royal Canadian Navy now rests at 130 feet below the surface. In amazing footage from a recent dusk dive, Sorensen has shared what lays below the water's surface, capturing vast fields of plumose anemones in full bloom. YouTuber and diver Carl Sorensen shared his pictures from the amazing shipwreck dive. YouTuber and diver Carl Sorensen shared his pictures from the amazing shipwreck dive. @scubabc6701/YouTube Plumose anemones, known for their feathery tentacles and vibrant colors, are vital components of marine ecosystems. They filter plankton and small particles from the water, contributing to the amazing clear water surrounding the wreck. They are also an essential form of shelter and food for various small marine organisms. Sorensen described the moment he descended through the murky top layer, recalling the surreal appearance of the 366-foot Mackenzie-class destroyer emerging from the depths. "You get a sense of how massive the ship is—imagining how many sailors once called it home is unreal," Sorensen told Newsweek. Beyond the anemones, the wreck is bursting with other marine life, hosting species like Cabezon, Lingcod, and Quillback rockfish. "The underwater world is like discovering a new planet," Sorensen said. As well as sharing this video clip on Reddit, Sorensen uses expensive camera equipment to create YouTube videos of his diving trips, including long ambient ocean films and shorter clips. "I share all of my videos online because most people will never get to see this stuff with their own eyes," he explained, offering an insight to how amazing the underwater world is. "You can travel the world and and see everything topside but the minute you get underwater and see some of these dive sites you will realize that what we see in our daily grind is just a tiny fraction of what is out there and the underwater world is like discovering a new planet."

Dreaming of a lakeside cottage but can't afford it? Co-ownership could open that door
A lakeview cottage with cosy rooms, a sandy beach nearby and a dock to gaze into the sunset was the dream for Corrine Evanoff. 'For years, I've been on this journey of trying to find a cottage that would work for us,' she said. But Evanoff and her husband didn't want to incur the burden of constant cottage maintenance — spending vacation days fixing decks and pruning trees. They opted instead to rent over the years, still hoping to one day buy. Then, it happened. They found a cottage not too far from home — for a fraction of the price they thought they'd have to pay, thanks to fractional ownership. Also called co-ownership, it allows people to buy a share of a property with others, whether it's family, friends or even strangers. Affordability sits at the heart of fractionally owned cottages. Many Canadians still find themselves priced out of the market, even as cottage prices have declined from peaks seen during the pandemic. Re/Max brokers and agents anticipate a national average price increase of about 1.8 per cent across the Canadian recreational market in 2025, a May report by the real estate firm, showed. On their first visit to check out a prospective cottage last fall, Evanoff recalled walking into a lake-facing cottage with large windows at Frontenac Shores in Cloyne, Ont., about 300 kilometres northeast of Toronto, and was sold. 'We sat in these Muskoka chairs on the beach and our feet are in the water, and I just felt the stress shredding off me,' she said. 'This is the dream that I've been dreaming for all these years … and this is within reach.' Evanoff and her husband now own one-tenth of a million-dollar cottage, costing them less than $100,000 for their share — and affording them five weeks a year at the property. Fractional ownership of a cottage is not like a timeshare, said Realtor Mike Lange, who has been dealing with co-owned cottages for about seven years in Kawartha Lakes, Ont. 'With a timeshare, you put your name in requesting a location, you have no guarantee that that's going to be available,' he said. 'There's been a lot of heartaches over them over the years.' Timeshare properties can be owned by for-profit corporations, leaving less autonomy for those staying there. Don Smith, who co-owns a property in Kawartha Lakes, bought into a cottage in the mid-2000s after he saw a newspaper ad about fractional cottage ownership. 'I was in the staff room reading the newspaper as a mathematics and computer studies teacher,' he recalled. 'As a math teacher, that caught my eye: What's this fraction all about, this cottage, this idea?' For the Smiths, fractional ownership wasn't a financial investment but a lifestyle investment that has paid off over the past two decades. 'This is where my daughter learned to swim, that's where my daughter learned to kayak, that is when my daughter had learned to appreciate animals.' But it may not be for everyone. Smith said fractionally owned cottages are usually 100 per cent debt-free. That means new co-owners typically can't secure a mortgage against the property from traditional banks and will have to rely on personal loans or a line of credit to buy their share. Personal touches to the cottage can also be missing with fractional ownership and people can't just show up at any time, he said. 'It's not like you can personally put all your favourite pictures and put all of the junk that you don't want in your home garage and take it up there and leave it,' Smith said. Real estate developer John Puffer has years of experience building cottages and selling them in fractional ownership arrangements in Ontario's cottage country regions. When he first got into the business, Puffer assumed the buyers would mostly be people in their 30s with young families. Instead, they happened to be people in their 50s and 60s, buying cottage shares for their adult children and grandchildren, or people who don't want to commit the dollars and worry about maintenance. 'That is part of the Canadian cottage experience in Ontario … that's where families congregate at the cottage and (it's) multi-generations,' said Puffer, president of Chandler Point Corp. Tanya Walker, litigation lawyer and managing partner at Walker Law, suggests potential buyers should get a good contract lawyer and treat the contract 'as if it's a pre-nuptial agreement' before signing on to be a co-owner. She said buyers going into fractional ownership should ask questions about who the other co-owners are, the voting rights people get for their share and what happens when they want to sell their stake. Walker added it's also important to look into who manages the property, the financials of the property as well as how much time you'll get to use the cottage and when. Puffer said people really have to understand what they're buying into. He suggested people read the contract and find out who's in control, what their obligations are, and talk to people who already own. For Evanoff and her husband, it will be their third time heading up to the Frontenac Shores cottage next month. 'It's like, wow! That just seems like a gift,' she said. 'This (fractional ownership) seems like the best-kept secret but I think it's going to catch on ... and you're going to see a lot of people tap into this market.'
