China Defends Buying Russian Oil After Trump's Tariff Threat
(Bloomberg) -- China said its imports of Russian oil are justified, pushing back against US threats of new tariffs after Washington slapped secondary levies on India for buying energy from Moscow. All Hail the Humble Speed Hump Three Deaths Reported as NYC Legionnaires' Outbreak Spreads Mayor Asked to Explain $1.4 Billion of Wasted Johannesburg Funds Major Istanbul Projects Are Stalling as City Leaders Sit in Jail What England's New National Cycling Network Needs to Get Rolling 'It is legitimate and lawful for China to conduct normal economic, trade and energy cooperation with all countries around the world, including Russia,' the Chinese Foreign Ministry said Friday in a statement to Bloomberg News. 'We will continue to adopt reasonable energy security measures in accordance with our national interests.' Donald Trump said earlier this week he could punish China with additional tariffs over its purchases of Russian oil, saying 'that may happen.' The US president has also signaled his interest in brokering a peace deal in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and views pressure on big Russian trade partners to be part of that effort. Russian President Vladimir Putin met this week with Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff for nearly three hours of talks in the Kremlin. Trump on Wednesday said there was a 'very good chance' he'd meet with Putin, though cautioned there had not yet been a 'breakthrough' in the talks. Chinese President Xi Jinping welcomed direct communications between Putin and Trump on Friday during his first known call with the Russian leader in months. Xi also set out China's position on Ukraine to Putin, describing the situation as a set of complex issues with no simple solutions, according to Chinese state broadcaster CCTV. Although Trump has warned over China's purchases of Russian oil, his top adviser Peter Navarro played down the likelihood of new tariffs on Chinese exports, saying higher duties 'may hurt the US.' When asked about Trump's comments on Thursday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News tariffs on China over oil purchases 'could be on the table at some point.' China's imports from Russia edged up in July to just over $10 billion — the highest level since March — according to the latest customs data. But overall this year, imports from Russia are still down 7.7% compared with the same period in 2024. US-China ties have steadied after the two sides agreed to put sky-high tariffs on hold as they seek to negotiate an agreement. Trump said this week he was getting 'very close' to a deal with with China to extend the truce, which is due to expire Tuesday. (Updates with Xi-Putin talks starting in fifth paragraph.)

Ridgeline Minerals Intersects up to 1.8 g/t Oxide Gold in Maiden Drill Program at the Atlas Project, Nevada
To view a summary of today's press release by Ridgeline CEO Chad Peters, click HERE Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 8, 2025) - Ridgeline Minerals Corp. (TSXV: RDG) (OTCQB: RDGMF) (FSE: 0GC0) ("Ridgeline" or the "Company") is pleased to provide assay results for the maiden two-hole drill program at the Company's Atlas project, Nevada (Figure 1). Atlas is an early-stage Carlin-Type oxide gold prospect and is 100%-owned by the Company with no underlying work commitments or royalties. Details on the drill program are highlighted below. Mike Harp, Ridgeline's Vice President, Exploration commented, "We are pleased that our maiden drill program confirmed that our Atlas project exhibits both the scale and grade potential that's required to host a significant gold deposit. The first two drill holes at Atlas were completed in the northernmost section of a greater than four-kilometer gold trend. With a limited budget this year, our focus was testing the favourable Pennsylvanian to Permian age carbonate host rock section to confirm whether those host rocks showed evidence of a Carlin-Type gold system." Mr. Harp continues, "Both holes returned thick intercepts of anomalous oxide gold and Carlin-Type alteration, with hole AT25-001 exhibiting a stronger gold vector to the south than AT25-002. Hole AT25-001 intersected 298 meters of continuous Carlin-Type alteration and mineralization with elevated pathfinder elements, anomalous gold, and up to 1.8 g/t gold in individual samples." Mr. Harp concludes, "Mineralization at Atlas appears to be hosted within the same thick section of Pennsylvanian to Permian age host rocks that host Orla Mining's nearby Dark Star deposit. Our team interprets the first two holes as having intersected a low-grade gold and trace element halo that is typically associated with the outer margins of Carlin-Type gold deposits. We will continue to focus on land consolidation and additional field work throughout the remainder of the 2025 field season with the goal of a Phase II drill program in 2026 to follow up on these results." Drill Program HighlightsThe maiden program completed two core holes totaling 551 meters ("m") in the northern section of the Atlas land package. Drilling targeted favourable Pennsylvanian to Permian ("Penn-Perm") age debris-flow conglomerates, limestones, and siltstone host rocks along a roughly 1-kilometer ("km") trend of elevated gold-in-soils and rock chips grading up to 7.7 g/t Au (Figure 2). AT25-001 drilled to the east and down-dip of gold bearing and partially eroded Penn-Perm host rocks and intersected a highlight intercept of: 0.2 m grading 1.80 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") and 2.10 g/t silver ("Ag") within 8.5 m grading 0.20 g/t Au and 0.52 g/t Ag starting at a true vertical depth ("TVD") of 80 meters (Figure 3 & Picture 1) Additional results include multiple 1.0 to 5.0-meter intercepts throughout the hole ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 g/t Au and 0.1- to 5.0 g/t Ag starting at 30m TVD Drilling also intersected high-grade silver intercepts within clay altered fault zones that returned 1.5m grading 75.1 g/t Ag and 0.5m grading 52.5 g/t Ag (Figure 3) The hole returned 297.9m grading 0.01 g/t Au, 0.41 g/t Ag and bottomed in anomalous Au mineralization AT25-002 was collared approximately 700m north of AT25-001 and drilled to the west towards the same gold bearing and partially eroded Penn-Perm host rocks and intersected a highlight intercept of: 5.9m grading 0.20 g/t Au and 2.43 g/t Ag starting at 124m TVD and; 2.6m grading 0.25 g/t Au and 2.59 g/t Ag within 9.8m grading 0.15 g/t Au and 2.20 g/t Ag starting at 182 m TVD (Figure 2) and; 1.4m grading 31.6 g/t Ag within a clay altered fault zone The top of AT25-001 intersected 106m of andesite (volcanic rocks) with the remainder of the hole drilling a partial section of Penn-Perm rocks that returned 147.6 m grading 0.01 g/t Au and 0.41 g/t Ag Geologic InterpretationBoth holes intersected a thicker than anticipated section of Penn-Perm debris-flow conglomerate host rocks (150-300m), which exhibited weak to strong Carlin-Type alteration and oxide mineralization throughout with both holes bottoming in oxide mineralization. Anomalous gold-silver and Carlin-type trace element pathfinders were observed throughout both drillholes with the highest values (up to 1.8 g/t Au and 75.1 g/t Ag) associated with strongly altered and mineralized Penn-Perm carbonate host rocks Compared to AT25-001, hole AT25-002 exhibited similar zones of widespread silicification, decalcification, and oxidation. However, AT25-002 returned weaker Au values overall Results from these two holes indicate a potential vector to the south where the intersection of a northeast and northwest trending fault corridor coincides with a kilometer-scale gold in soils and rock chip anomaly Figure 1: Ridgeline's 200-kilometer² exploration portfolio with Atlas located southwest of the Carlin Trend To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Figure 2: Plan view map of the Atlas project with Ridgelines 2025 drillholes testing the northern Atlas block To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: QA/QC ProceduresSamples are submitted to American Assay Laboratories (AAL) of Sparks, Nevada, which is a certified and accredited laboratory, independent of the Company.

Helly Hansen acquisition boosts Kontoor Brands H1 bottom line
Kontoor Brands saw net revenues for the six months (H1) ending June, increase 3% to $1.28bn. Operating income for the period fell 5% to $151.8m and net income increased 5% to $116.8m. During the second quarter, net revenues increased 8% to $658m. Reported operating income was $79m while reported EPS was $1.32. Adjusted EPS of $1.21 increased 23% compared to prior year. 'Our strong second quarter results were driven by better-than-expected organic revenue growth, gross margin expansion, operating efficiency and cash generation, as well as a stronger-than-expected contribution from Helly Hansen,' said Scott Baxter, president, CEO and chairman of the board of directors. 'We welcomed Helly Hansen to the Kontoor family in June and the integration is off to a great start. We are raising our full year outlook including increased investments and the absorption of higher tariffs, reflecting the resilience of our operating model, strong execution, and the momentum across the portfolio as we move into the second half of the year.' Price hikes, sourcing, product optimisation targeted as tariffs weigh on outlook Kontoor Brands issued its full year outlook which now includes the anticipated impact from recently enacted increases in tariffs. The company's outlook assumes a 30% reciprocal tariff on China and a 20% reciprocal tariff on all other countries from which it sources product, with the exception of Mexico. "The company continues to expect to substantially offset the impact from recently enacted increases in tariffs over a 12 to 18 month period through a combination of targeted price increases, sourcing and production optimisation within our global supply chain, inventory management, supplier partnerships and other initiatives," it said. Baxter added: "We are raising our full year outlook to reflect stronger first half results, greater visibility into our tariff mitigation initiatives, and the confidence we have in the outlook for our business for the balance of the year. "Our ability to largely offset the impact from higher tariffs reflects the strength of our brands, the agility of our supply chain, and the benefits from Project Jeanius. To support our momentum, we are making incremental demand creation investments to fuel accelerating revenue growth and continued market share gains. While we will continue to manage the business prudently in light of the environment, the third quarter is off to an encouraging start and we enter the second half of the year from a position of strength.' Revenue now expected to be in the range of $3.09 to $3.12bn, representing an increase of approximately 19 to 20% (including an approximate 18% benefit from Helly Hansen) Adjusted operating income is now expected to be approximately $443m, representing an increase of 16% compared to the prior year. This compares to the prior outlook of $437m to $445m. Full year 2025 adjusted operating income now includes an approximate $30m impact from recently enacted increases in tariffs and incremental demand creation and other investments compared to the prior outlook. Adjusted EPS is now expected to be approximately $5.45, representing an increase of 11% compared to the prior year. This compares to the prior outlook of $5.40 to $5.50. Excluding the impact of Helly Hansen, adjusted EPS is expected to be approximately $5.25, representing an increase of 7% compared to the prior year. This compares to the prior outlook of $5.20 to $5.30. "Helly Hansen acquisition boosts Kontoor Brands H1 bottom line" was originally created and published by Just Style, a GlobalData owned brand.
