Dundee Precious Metals buys into Newfoundland gold stock
Galloper Gold (CSE:BOOM) has raised C$250,000 from Dundee Precious Metals (TSX:DPM) to support ongoing development

The Newfoundland gold stock has given back 30 per cent year-over-year
Galloper Gold (CSE:BOOM) has raised C$250,000 from Dundee Precious Metals (TSX:DPM) to support ongoing development, issuing 5 million shares priced at C$0.05 each through a non-brokered private placement.
Galloper will allocate the proceeds towards exploration on its flagship 133-square-kilometre Glover Island property in Newfoundland, 24 kilometres southeast of Corner Brook. The company intends to break ground in Q3 to test the property's numerous mineral occurrences, including a copper anomaly, as well as a historical gold zone featuring a 7.5-kilometre-long trend hosting favorable host rocks.
Drilling in 2024 yielded highlights of 15 metres (m) at 2.62 grams per ton (g/t) of gold, 3.80 m at 6.92 g/t gold and 23.5 m at 0.72 g/t gold, which Hratch Jabrayan, Galloper Gold's chief executive officer, believes to support 'the distinct possibility of multiple shallow deposits lined up along a contact zone that may continue well beyond its original 12 kilometre estimate.'
All shares issued will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring in four months and one day, as per Canadian securities law. Leadership insights
'The strategic investment by Dundee is a critical sign of support for Galloper's exploration activities as we move towards a robust drill program later this year,' Jabrayan stated in Friday's news release. 'We hope to work collaboratively with Dundee to achieve ongoing success in the mining and minerals industry.' About Galloper Gold
Galloper Gold is a mineral explorer active in the Central Newfoundland gold belt. The company's Glover Island and Mint Pond properties are prospective for both gold and base metals.
The Newfoundland gold stock (CSE:BOOM) opened unchanged trading at C$0.07. The stock has given back 30 per cent year-over-year.

Is the 'Buy Canadian' push proving profitable for local fashion brands?
The initial threat — and eventual rollout — of tariffs on Canadian goods entering the U.S. earlier this year prompted a robust callout among consumers to 'Buy Canadian.' With shoppers looking to support homegrown labels, and keep their dollars from going south of the border, the opportunity for local companies of all sizes and types to benefit from the patriotic push seems stronger than ever. 'Customers are not only more aware, but also more vocal about supporting local businesses and locally made products,' says Amanda He, founder of the Vancouver-based fine jewelry brand Poppy Finch.

Groups with thousands, and even a million, members highlighting local businesses and brands have popped up on various social-media platforms. On Facebook, the group Made in Canada boasts more than 1.4 million members and features countless posts featuring a variety of goods ranging from crafts and artists, to food, stores and more. These groups, along with the increased general sentiment toward supporting local, have led to a welcome boost in awareness of and traffic to Canadian brands, insiders say. 'We are seeing huge bursts of traffic, often from online shoutouts, like the Made in Canada Facebook group,' says Jess Sternberg, owner of the made-in-Vancouver clothing brand Free Label. In April, BMO released a report that predicted the 'Buy Canadian' movement could 'add roughly $10 billion to the Canadian economy annually.' But, with so much buzz around buying Canadian, are brands seeing an actual boost in sales? According to Sternberg, that bounty of Canadian business hasn't exactly blossomed as expected. 'When the threat of tariffs and the push to Buy Canadian started earlier this year, I expected our U.S. sales to decline — about 35 per cent of our sales come from the U.S. — and our Canadian sales to grow,' she says. 'But the reality is a little different. Our traffic from Canadians has skyrocketed, while our sales have actually declined a bit.' The big push in traffic to their online platforms, Sternberg notes, has also not translated to more subscribers. Local clothing company Smash + Tess , which manufactures a portion of their designs in Vancouver and some overseas, reports the 'buy-Canadian' movement has helped build on its base of support from domestic shoppers that has been fostered by its partnerships with Canadian influencers such as Jillian Harris and Sarah Nicole Landry. 'While we've been fortunate to have a strong, loyal Canadian customer base since our inception, we're feeling an even stronger connection to our community who value supporting our Canadian, women-owned business,' says CEO Ashley Freeborn. 'That said, we didn't experience an overnight shift in demand in the same way as some industries like household products and groceries.' For He, who has been manufacturing her brand's fine jewelry pieces locally since starting the company in 2014 — 'Canada has the resources, talent and technology to do things the right way. That's why we've always kept our production in-house,' He says proudly — the absence of a spike in spending from Canadians, coupled with the rising cost of gold, has put a difficult squeeze on her business. 'We can't simply pass on all the added costs to our customers,' He explains. 'We've had to absorb some of the impact, which affects our margins and makes it more challenging to grow.' He says another hurdle to business has been the lingering general uncertainty around the tariffs and importing costs. 'Unclear rulings from both the Canadian and U.S. governments have disrupted our operation — causing delays in clearing imported materials and inaccurate tariff charges we constantly monitor and dispute with customs on both sides of the border,' she says. The companies we spoke with all reported an aspect of business amid the tariffs: their U.S. customers are, by and large, continuing to shop with them. 'Our U.S. orders have, ironically, held steady despite the threat of tariffs and air of unknown,' says Sternberg. 'So, we're thankful that the overall impact has been less than anticipated.' Freeborn points to her company's continuing partnerships with online influencers and content creators south of the border as a factor that has served to stave off any potential drops in business from American customers. 'We do our best to maintain partnerships with influencers and creators in the U.S. who continue to help us promote, so we haven't seen too much impact,' she notes. The key to building on the momentum of 'Buy Canadian' is to connect with customers who are not only willing to discover and support homegrown offerings, but to invest in them. 'We've experienced firsthand the impact of finding value-aligned customers who want to spend their hard-earned dollars with brands that are consistent with their own values,' says Freeborn. 'I think this sentiment will only grow stronger with the 'Buy Canadian' movement, which is encouraging to see.' In a slow economy, and with the cost of living restricting many Canadian's purchasing power, accepting the higher cost of Canadian designed and made goods remains a sticking point, Sternberg says. 'I know many Canadians want to shop locally, but when it's time to check out, they often become disenchanted by the difference in price,' she says. 'Canadian-made is expensive. Most of our fabrics are milled and dyed in Canada, and our garments are cut and sewn. Even our labels are produced in Canada. When you consider the high cost of domestic rent, wage and shipping it makes sense — but the average consumer is far too used to bargain prices from overseas manufacturers that employ low-wage workers and manufacture in bulk.' There are good reasons, she underscores, why buying Canadian products comes at a higher cost. Aharris@

Vancouver company Plenty is offering up to 60 per cent off on some of its hottest seasonal styles. Montreal-headquartered RW&CO. has 30 per cent off regular-priced styles for a limited time. And, last but definitely not least, Lululemon's We Made Too Much section is currently full of colourful leggings, shorts, skirts, bags and more that are perfect for summer sweat sessions and more. Check out a few of the best buys we found among the Aritzia Summer Sale deals. The brand's Butter Leggings are a fan favourite for a reason. Super soft and stretchy, they're a go-to pant pick for many a local. While the staple hues aren't marked down, there are several colours that have been discounted. A perfect pick for someone whose summer calendar is full of weddings, parties or events, this Goddess Satin Dress is sure to be a reliable plus-one. We're big fans of the trend toward wearing one dress to all your seasonal affairs rather than buying multiple garments. And this simple — and simply stunning — cowl-necked number is primed to RSVP 'yes' to everything. This one is a bit of a personal pick for me, as I already own (and love) it. A waistcoat-inspired vest is an MVP style this year, and I love the longer length of this Juris Vest. It's such an easy piece to throw on with trousers or wide-leg jeans, adding a tailored, polished look to an everyday or event look. The Martine Dress has been a viral sensation for the brand. While the ruched-bodice dress is super sweet, we love the versatility of the skirt iteration. The Martine Poplin Skirt is an It Girl style, proving to be a wardrobe workhorse that can pair with everything from a tank top and heels to a t-shirt and sandals. An Aritzia blazer is always a good idea … especially when it's on sale. Featuring a classic fit, the structure of this single-button blazer style is balanced by a soft crepe fabric that gives this timeless topper a beautiful drape.

Homegrown Loyalty Surges Ahead of Canada Day
TORONTO, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the country prepares to celebrate Canada Day, new research from Horizon Media Canada confirms a powerful consumer shift toward local loyalty—one that is reshaping purchase behaviour across provinces and generations. According to the firm's latest Finger on the Pulse survey, 83 per cent of Canadians say buying local evokes a sense of national pride, and 71 per cent report being more loyal to Canadian brands in 2025 than they were a year ago. Conducted in April with a nationally representative sample of more than 1,000 adults, the survey finds that Canadians are responding to economic uncertainty, rising tariffs and a weaker dollar by making more intentional, values-based choices at checkout.
