Interior transfers thousands of acres to Alaska Native corporation
The agency transferred the land to the NANA Regional, citing the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. Interior said the land transfer fulfills President Donald Trump's push to bolster energy production in Alaska.
'This land transfer is a clear example of the Trump administration delivering on its promises,' Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in a statement. 'The Department is committed to honoring the agreements made with Alaska Native corporations, cutting federal red tape and unlocking Alaska's full potential.'

Fox News host Bret Baier pulled over, ticketed amid Trump's DC crackdown
No one seems to be safe amid President Trump's crime crackdown in Washington, D.C. — not even Fox News host Bret Baier, who was caught on video being pulled over by police in the nation's capital. The 'Special Report' host was stopped by a D.C. cop for distracted driving while behind the wheel of a white Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon. The footage, which shows Baier being given a ticket, was captured by real estate firm The Mollaan Babbington Group and shared on Instagram Sunday. 'With Trump's federal takeover of DC in full swing, you can't make this up: I watched even FOX's Bret Baier get pulled over in Georgetown. And for what? I honestly couldn't tell,' read the video's caption. Baier, who has interviewed Trump and occasionally played golf with him, fessed up to the police-involved incident and offered more details on Tuesday. 'I picked up my ringing phone as I drove past an officer while driving my wife's car in Georgetown,' tweeted the 55-year-old New Jersey native. 'He pointed to have me pull over — I did,' he continued. 'He was very professional. I had to dig for the registration card. Got a ticket and left. I didn't know there was paparazzi.' Trump announced last week he wanted to 'liberate' Washington, D.C., and placed the Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control. He also deployed around 800 National Guard troops to 'rescue' D.C. from 'crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor.' The controversial overhaul has occurred despite official statistics stating that violent crime in the city has declined in recent years. On Tuesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced there have been 465 arrests in D.C. since the start of the crackdown on Aug. 7. _____

MSNBC name change: See what netizens are saying about the rebrand
MSNBC's rebrand isn't quite landing. After the cable-news network announced it would become My Source News Opinion World, or MS NOW, later this year, netizens have taken to social media to make their disdain for the name and logo change more than abundantly clear. The issue, according to the Internet, isn't just the name, it's also the look and 'feel' of the new logo. 'MSNBC changing its name to MS NOW is one of the worst branding disasters in media history. The logo looks like it belongs on a discount computer from 1998, not a serious news network,' one user wrote. 'Absurd.' The rebranding is part of a larger restructuring currently taking place at NBCUniversal. The network, along with other brands including USA Network, Syfy, CNBC, Golf Channel, GolfNow, and SportsEngine will become part of a new media company called VERSANT later this year. 'This name further underscores our mission: to serve as your destination for breaking news and thoughtful analysis and remain the home for the perspectives that you've relied on for nearly 30 years,' MSNBC said in an Aug. 18 statement.' See what netizens are saying about the rebrand. Why the name change? And what does MS NOW stand for? MS NOW stands for My Source News Opinion World and the name change, according to MSNBC, 'gives us the freedom to chart our own path forward, and we're excited about where it's headed.' The move conflicts with previous claims made by NBCUniversal that the network would be allowed to keep its name amid the shift. NBC's iconic peacock logo will no longer be used for the cable-news network, either. A memo sent Aug. 18 by MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler addressed the flip-flop, writing: 'During this time of transition, NBCUniversal decided that our brand requires a new, separate identity… The future of our success is not tied to remaining within the NBC family and using the peacock as part of our identity,' Rebecca Kutler, MSNBC President, wrote in an Aug. 18 memo addressed to staff. The peacock-looking logo, according to MSNBC CEO Mark Lazarus, 'is synonymous with NBCUniversal, and it is a symbol they have decided to keep within the NBCU family.' Because of this decision, MSNBC is now free to 'chart our own path forward, create distinct brand identities, and establish an independent news organization following the spin.' Social media reacts: 'I will never call it the new name' MSNBC has certainly ruffled some feathers with the announcement, with netizens posting reactions (complete with GIFs), opinions and critiques about the rebrand, dubbed one of the 'worst branding disasters in media history' on X, formerly known as Twitter, in the last 24 hours. Here's what netizens are saying, or have said, about MSNBC's proposed rebrand since the news broke on Aug. 18.

Benz Announces New Discovery at Icon Strengthened with Further Broad Gold Intercepts
New results rank among the thickest gold intercepts to date at Glenburgh, reinforcing the potential for a significant bulk tonnage gold system HIGHLIGHTS: Further step-out holes drilled at Icon targeting a large gap under previous drilling returned broad zones of gold mineralisation, confirming continuity and significant potential for resource growth: 142m at 0.95g/t gold from 227m within a broader 229m at 0.7g/t gold (25GLR_048) 102m at 1.0g/t gold from 96m (25GLR_058), pending assays for remainder of hole All holes ended in mineralisation and will be extended to test the central lens position Drilling has also intersected the newly discovered Central Lens, which remains only partially drilled and open, with holes ending in strong mineralisation: 55m at 1.1g/t gold from 447m within 275m at 0.6g/t gold (25GLR_044) ending in mineralisation 43m at 0.9g/t gold from 352m (25GLR_036) ending in mineralisation1 with further assays pending Holes to be re-entered for extension Drilling to continue with four RC drill rigs fully funded by recent A$30m bought deal2, with two dedicated to the exciting bulk tonnage potential at Icon Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 19, 2025) - Benz Mining Corp (ASX: BNZ) (TSXV: BZ) ("Benz" or the "Company") is pleased to report further strong results from ongoing drilling at the Icon Prospect within the Glenburgh Gold Project in Western Australia. Figure 1: Oblique plan view of Icon Apollo trend mineralisation and collar locations. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: The Icon deposit forms part of the 1.6 km-long Icon-Apollo trend, historically treated as two separate deposits and only tested by shallow drilling. It sits ~6 km from the recently announced high-grade Zone 126 trend and is positioned within the broader 18 km mineralised corridor of the Glenburgh Gold Project. Recent drilling by Benz has confirmed the discovery of a third higher-grade lens between the Icon and Tuxedo trends. This new lens sits within wide-scale gold system over 400m in width, representing a major new growth opportunity at Glenburgh. Figure 2: Cross section at Icon with viewing window (~300m) looking east along 409650 Easting. Current drill holes extend mineralisation under previously intercepted mineralisation conducted by historical drilling. Previous holes reported in announcement dated 4 August 2025. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Benz CEO, Mark Lynch-Staunton, commented: "The latest results continue to firm up the emerging higher-grade Central Lens at Icon, and it is becoming clear that this is shaping into something very special. These results confirm the strength of the central position, which sits within a 400-metre-wide mineralised corridor - a scale that underscores the system's potential. "We are now stepping across this 400m corridor to fully drill out the central zone , with two rigs dedicated to unlocking its extent. The fact that this lens is only partially drilled and remains open adds further excitement as we move to test its continuity and scale. "With success here complementing the continued growth at Zone 126, it is increasingly evident that Glenburgh is not a cluster of small deposits, but a large, evolving gold system with tier-1 potential. Each new hole builds our confidence that we are only at the beginning of uncovering the true scale of this district." Icon - A large bulk scale opportunity The geometry, continuity, and thickness of the mineralisation at the 1.6km Icon Apollo Trend — particularly in the near-surface environment — strongly support the potential for a low-strip, bulk-scale open-pit mining operation. This style of deposit is ideally suited to efficient, large-scale development and could deliver significant gold ounces at relatively low cost per tonne. Previous exploration at Icon appeared to be limited to previous pit shell designs with the majority of holes ending in mineralisation at depth. Benz's current drilling is looking to unconstrain this mineralisation with drilling significantly past the previously drilled boundaries (see Figure 2). This new drilling at depth by Benz has identified a new higher grade gold zone in between the Icon and Tuxedo deposits, potentially widening this zone of mineralisation to in excess of 400m in width. All holes drilled to date have ended in mineralisation. Benz has commenced re-entry of these holes to test the scale of this third lens and to attempt to define the extent of this broad zone of mineralisation. Planning is currently underway for further step-out drilling to test the full scale and continuity of the Icon Apollo system, with further drilling aimed at expanding the mineralised footprint (particularly at depth) and upgrading the confidence of mineralised volumes ahead of future resource modelling. These results further reinforce the Company's view that Glenburgh is evolving into a district-scale gold system, with Icon Apollo Trend now emerging as a cornerstone deposit capable of supporting substantial, long-life gold production.

Each sample collected represents each one (1) metre drilled collected from the rig-mounted cone splitter into individual calico bags (~3kg) and stored in labelled sequential polyweave bags for long-term storage. The rig mounted cyclone/cone splitter was levelled at the start of each hole to aid an even fall of the sample through the cyclone into the cone splitter. RC drilling sample submissions include the use of certified standards (CRMs), and field duplicates were added to the submitted sample sequence to test laboratory equipment calibrations. Standards selected are matched to the analytical method of photon assaying at ALS labs in Perth (~500g units). No composites were taken. Based on statistical analysis of these results, there is no evidence to suggest the samples are not representative. Drilling techniques The RC drill rig was a Schramm C685 Rig type with the capability to reach >400m depths with a rig-mounted cyclone/cone splitter using a face sample hammer bit of 5 1⁄2 - 6" size. The booster was used to apply air to keep drill holes dry and reach deeper depths. Drill sample recovery RC sample recovery is visually assessed and recorded where significantly reduced. Negligible sample loss has been recorded. RC samples were visually checked for recovery, moisture and contamination. A cyclone and cone splitter were used to provide a uniform sample, and these were routinely cleaned. RC Sample recoveries are generally high. No significant sample loss has been recorded. Logging RC chip samples have been geologically logged on a per 1 metre process recording lithology, mineralisation, veining, alteration, and weathering. Geological logging is considered appropriate for this style of deposit (metamorphosed orogenic gold). The entire length of all holes has been geologically logged. RC drill logging was completed by Galt Mining Solutions staff and data entered into BNZ's MXDeposit digital data collection platform provided by Expedio. All drill chips were collected into 20 compartment-trays for future reference and stored at Galt's warehouse in West Leederville at the time of reporting. Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation RC chips were cone split at the rig. Samples were generally dry. A sample size of between 3 and 5 kg was collected. This size is considered appropriate, and representative of the material being sampled given the width and continuity of the intersections, and the grain size of the material being collected. For the 1 metre samples, certified analytical standards (appropriate for photon assaying) and field duplicates were inserted at appropriate intervals at a rate equal to 1 in 20 and sent for analysis with the samples. Sample preparation was undertaken at ALS Laboratory - Perth. Gold analysis utilised the photon assaying methodology where original samples are crushed to 2mm with a sub-set 500g separated for non-destructive analysis. Any sample reporting as having elevated > 1µSv readings during the preparation for photon assaying at ALS labs were flagged and were submitted for fire assay (Au-AA26) methodology at ALS labs in Perth as a quantifying check against the Photon assays. Quality of assay data and laboratory tests Preliminary pXRF and Labspec ASD analysis was conducted by Galt Mining Solutions personnel utilising Geotek's Boxscan automated system. The scanning of sieved RC drilling fines sample material utilised an Olympus Vanta M Series portable XRF in Geochem mode (3 beam) and a 20-second read time for each beam (Instrument_Serial = 840951). The ASD data reader on Boxscan has a 3 nm VNIR, 6 nm SWIR spectral resolution of the LabSpec 4 Hi-Res analytical instrument (Electronics serial number: 28191). The pXRF and ASD are incorporated into Geotek's Boxscan machine to facilitate an automated data collection process. This includes periodic calibration and QAQC scans on Geotek-supplied pucks and colour strips. The QAQC scans are verified and checked on Boxscan's internal program datasheet against expected results to ensure the analysers are conforming to Boxscan's expected operating parameters. A review of the pXRF and ASD sample results provided an acceptable level of analysis and the data is appropriate for reporting the geochemistry results in the context of its use for screening areas for indications of elevations in concentrations with elements of interest. pXRF and ASD results should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis, which is required to determine robust and accurate potential for mineralisation and associated elements. The reporting of pXRF and ASD results should not be described as an "assay" result, as these are not of the same level of accuracy or precision as that obtained from a certified laboratory workflow. The use of "preliminary indicative field data" is a more appropriate term when referring to pXRF and ASD results. The pXRF data is exploratory in nature and is used predominantly as an internal workflow to assist in target prioritisation through an early phase of exploration investigation. No previous comparisons of pXRF and ASD data with laboratory data at the project have been undertaken to date. The analysis involved direct point counting on the raw surfaces of the supplied drill fines. The fines are transferred from geochem packets to purpose-made scanning pucks, with the analysis taken from the middle of these pucks. The sample material was dry and collected and analysed in ambient temperatures within the processing warehouse. Monitoring of workstation area and apparatus temperatures occur during the shift with cooling actions being implemented when required. This provides only semi-quantitative information and is reported as raw data without significant corrections, which is best interpreted as an abundant/present/absent classification for most elements. This information provides useful trend analyses at an exploration target scale. Verification of sampling and assaying Significant drill intersections are checked by the supervising personnel. The intersections are compared to recorded geology and neighbouring data and reviewed in Leapfrog and QGIS software. No twinned holes have been drilled to date by Benz Mining, but, planned holes have tested the interpreted mineralised trends, verifying the geometry of the mineralised targets. All logs were validated by the Project Geologist prior to being sent to the Database Administrator for import No adjustments have been made to assay data apart from values below the detection limit which are assigned a value of half the detection limit (positive number) Location of data points Hole collar coordinates including RLs have been located by handheld GPS in the field during initial drill site preparation. Actual hole collars were collected by a DGPS system at the Glenburgh Gold Project. The grid system used for the location of all drill holes is GDA94_MGA _Zone 50s. Planned hole coordinates and final GPS coordinates are compared in QGIS and Leapfrog project files to ensure all targets have been tested as intended. The drill string path is monitored as drilling progresses using downhole Axis Champ Gyro tool and compared against the planned drill path, adjustment to the drilling technique is requested as required to ensure the intended path is followed. Readings were recorded at 30m intervals from surface to end of hole after Benz reviewed single shot verses EOH continuous surveying of the Axis Champ Gyro tool and noted >3 degrees variance in azimuth with hole depth. The single shots produce less variability and are used for hole trace reporting in the database. Historical drill hole surveys and methods will be reviewed in preparation for any updates to MRE in the future. Data spacing and distribution BNZ's Glenburgh RC drilling has been designed as a test on mineralisation extension at a planned spacing of 60m between pierce points on the projected mineralised feature. Holes were generally angled ~ -65 dip towards ~ 145 degrees GDA94_MGA _Zone 51 Grid orientation. Fifteen (15) holes were drilled into Zone 126 prospect on a rough grid pattern to obtain adequate spacing for testing mineralisation continuity and geological host features. The mineralised domains established for pre-BNZ MREs have sufficient continuity in both geology and grade to be considered appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedures and classification applied under the 2012 JORC Code. Ongoing drilling will be sufficiently spaced for a reinterpretation based on BNZ's structural model. No sample compositing of material from drilling has been applied during this drilling campaign. Orientation of data in relation to geological structure Drilling has primarily been undertaken perpendicular to the interpreted mineralised structures as stated above. No orientation-based sampling bias has been identified - observed intercepts to date indicate the interpreted geology hosting mineralisation is robust. Sample security All samples were prepared in the field by Galt staff and delivered by contracted couriers from the field site to the ALS laboratory in Perth directly. Individual pre-numbered calco sample bags are placed in polywoven plastic bags (5 per bag) secured at the top with a cable tie. These bags are annotated with the company name and sample numbers, the bags are placed in larger bulker bags for transport to ALS labs in Perth, also labelled with corresponding company name, drill hole and sample identifiers. Sample pulps are stored in a dry, secure location at Galt's warehouse in West Leederville. Audits or reviews Data is validated by Benz staff and Expedio consultants as it is entered into MXDeposit. Errors are returned to field staff for validation. All drilled hole collars have been located with a DGPS. There have been no audits undertaken. Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results (Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.) Criteria Commentary Mineral tenement and land tenure status Glenburgh Gold Project is a group of 10 tenements and 2 applications. The majority of known gold deposits are located on Mining Lease M09/148. The tenement is 100% owned by Benz Mining Limited. The tenements are in good standing and no known impediments exist. Exploration done by other parties Since Helix Resources in 1994 and subsequent work by Gascoyne Resources, about 159149 soil samples, 1349 vacuum holes and 2285 auger holes have been completed at Glenburgh. 9 diamond holes, 398 RC holes, 6 air-core holes and 462 RAB holes have been drilled in the Glenburgh area to identify the distribution and evaluate the potential of the deposit. Drilling to date has identified 10 high potential deposits in the Glenburgh area which are: Tuxedo, Icon, Apollo, Mustang, Shelby, Hurricane, Zone 102, Zone 126, NE3 and NE4 deposits. Geology Gold mineralisation at the Glenburgh deposit is hosted in Paleoproterozoic upper-amphibolite to granulite facies siliciclastic rocks of the Glenburgh Terrane, in the southern Gascoyne Province of Western Australia. Gold was first discovered at the Glenburgh deposit in 1994 by Helix Resources during follow-up drilling of soil geochemical anomalies. Mineralisation occurs in shears within quartz + feldspar + biotite ± garnet gneiss, which contains discontinuous blocks or lenses of amphibolite and occasional thin magnetite-bearing metamorphics, probably derived from chemical sediments. Higher-grade mineralisation appears to be directly related to silica flooding in the gneiss. This silica flooding may give rise to quartz 'veins' up to several metres thick, although scales of several centimetres to tens of centimetres are the norm. Neither the higher-grade silica lodes nor the more pervasive lower-grade mineralisation exhibits sharp or well-defined lithological contacts. Drill hole Information For this announcement, Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes are being reported. Collar details have been provided in Appendix 1. For earlier released results, see previous announcements by Gascoyne Resources and Spartan Resources. Data aggregation methods No material information has been excluded. Higher grade: A nominal 0.9 ppm Au lower cut off has been applied to the results, with no maximum internal dilution applied. Bulk potential reported with a nominal 0.3 ppm Au lower cut off with no maximum internal dilution length applied Higher grade Au intervals lying within broader zones of Au mineralisation are reported as included intervals. No top cuts have been applied to reported intercepts. No metal equivalent values have been used. All reported assays have been length weighted if appropriate. Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths Drilling is generally oriented perpendicular to the interpreted strike of mineralisation, and intercepts are reported as downhole lengths unless otherwise stated. To improve understanding of true widths, a subset of holes in this program were drilled from the opposite azimuth to previous drilling to test structural geometry. Ongoing drilling and geological modelling are required to confirm the true orientation and extent of mineralised lenses. Diagrams Relevant diagrams are included in the report. Balanced reporting All meaningful data relating to the Exploration program has been included and reported to the market as assays are received. Other substantive exploration data See body of announcement. Further work Assays for the remainder of the programme will be reported once received and validated. Detailed field mapping has commenced to refine targets for the next round of drilling. Geophysical techniques are being investigated to reduce the search space of high-grade lenses away from defined resource areas and/or high-grade drill intercepts. 1 Previously reported in announcement dated 4 August 2025: 200m Intercepts Support Glenburgh's Emergence as a Major Gold System2 See announcement dated 13 August 2025: Drilling to Accelerate at Glenburgh Following A$30M Bought Deal3 Indicated: 13.5Mt at 1.0g/t Au for 430.7koz; Inferred: 2.8Mt at 0.9g/t Au for 79.4koz.
