U.S. GoldMining Applauds State of Alaska's Plans to Advance Critical Road Infrastructure to the Whistler Gold-Copper Project, Alaska
On July 25, 2025, AIDEA announced (here) that it had submitted a Department of the Army (" DA") Individual Permit application for the construction of the WSAP, a 78.5-mile access road across Alaska's Matanuska-Susitna Borough (" MSB") in south central Alaska. The WSAP will connect Whistler with existing highway, rail, power and port infrastructure in the eastern MSB, where a large and skilled workforce resides in the tri-city municipalities of Anchorage, Palmer and Wasilla. The WSAP will provide year-round public access to currently remote State public lands and private lands within the MSB, as well as areas planned for resource development, including the Whistler Project. The WSAP will begin approximately 1.4 miles west of Alexander Creek and extend to the Whiskey Bravo airstrip and the Company's Whistler mineral exploration claims and camp site, where it will terminate approximately 2 miles from the Project's flagship Whistler gold-copper deposit.
The AIDEA announcement included a quote from Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy, who stated: "AIDEA's West Susitna Road holds significant value for Alaskans, especially local residents seeking better access to hunting, fishing, recreation, and potential opportunities in mining, processing, and manufacturing. My administration and AIDEA are continually exploring ways to boost our economy and create well-paying jobs for families. This project presents a fantastic opportunity for Alaska to expand and generate revenue. I am dedicated to this initiative and to unlocking resources that will benefit all Alaskans."
Tim Smith, Chief Executive Officer of U.S. GoldMining, commented:"This announcement by the State of Alaska marks a pivotal moment for U.S. GoldMining. It delivers on the State's policy under Governor Dunleavy's administration, of investing in critical infrastructure to stimulate growth in Alaska's economy, which was an important catalyst for the Company's decision to launch its initial public offering in 2023. Whistler will be a direct beneficiary of the West Susitna Access Project, which is now currently under application to extend directly onto the Company's 100% owned State of Alaska mining claims, thereby connecting a potential future mining opportunity at Whistler to existing road, power, rail and port infrastructure near Anchorage."
"With copper increasingly recognized as a critical mineral for the United States' clean energy transition and resource and economic security, U.S. GoldMining is well positioned to contribute to this national priority. Strong Federal and State government support - reflected in permitting momentum and recent policy developments (see news releases dated January 27, 2025, and March 24, 2025) - underscores the strategic value of advancing domestic copper supply. Coupled with near all-time high prices for copper, gold and silver, and the continued expansion of the Project's mineral resources, we believe the Company offers a compelling investment opportunity. As we advance our proposed initial economic assessment, which was previously announced on June 9, 2025, and prepare for the upcoming 2025 exploration program (see news release dated July 21, 2025), we remain committed to working collaboratively with all levels of government, regulatory agencies and stakeholders in support of the WSAP and the long-term development of Whistler."
About the Proposed West Susitna Access Project
The WSAP comprises an approximately 79-mile-long transportation corridor across the Susitna valley commencing at Alexander Creek, which is the terminus of the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (" DOT&PF") planned 22 mile public road, and from there it will extend to the foothills of the Alaska Range, terminating at the Company's exploration camp near the Whisky Bravo airstrip (see Figure 1). The WSAP will connect existing road, power, rail and port infrastructure in the eastern MSB, with multiple natural resource development projects located in the West Susitna Mining District, including the Company's Project.

Why Major Retailers Are Secretly Planning Their Own Stablecoins (and What It Means for Investors)
Key Points Some top retailers are eyeing stablecoins as a way to cut costs, boost profitability, and improve operational efficiency. Retailers can also use stablecoins as part of their branded loyalty programs, or to improve the overall shopping experience. In addition to retailers, a growing number of banks, payment providers, and tech firms plan to issue stablecoins. 10 stocks we like better than Circle Internet Group › The passage of landmark stablecoin legislation this summer could have far-reaching implications beyond just the financial sector. The Genius Act opens the door for nonbanks to issue stablecoins of their own, and that could greatly expand the number of retailers that offer stablecoins to their customers. In June, the Wall Street Journal reported that both Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Walmart (NYSE: WMT) were secretly planning stablecoins of their own. Presumably, all they needed was the ink to dry on the new stablecoin legislation, and they could get started. Here's why stablecoins could change everything for them. Profitability and cost savings As they say, always follow the money. And the money in this case is the potential cost savings from using stablecoins rather than credit cards for payments. Typically, credit card processing fees are as high as 2%-3% per transaction. So the ability to cut costs by moving everything to blockchain payment technology is certainly alluring. But here's the thing: You need to have enough scale to make any stablecoin project worth it. That's why Amazon and Walmart are two of the most prominent names involved in the stablecoin discussion right now. Quite simply, they are retail behemoths. When you're making billions of dollars in sales, savings of 2%-3% can really rack up. Moreover, there has been discussion that stablecoins could be used to pay employees, logistics partners, and other members of the retail supply chain, especially those located overseas. Imagine tiny cost savings suddenly popping up all over your business by going all-in on blockchain technology. As a result of all these potential cost savings and operational efficiencies, even Visa (NYSE: V) is exploring new projects that leverage stablecoins, including stablecoin-linked cards. In many ways, the writing is on the wall: Stablecoins are coming to retail, in one form or another. A better customer experience Let's assume that the big retail giants are more than just penny-pinching corporations attempting to boost the bottom line. Many of them really do want to create a better customer experience, and stablecoins could play a role here, too. First, they could choose to reinvent their customer loyalty programs to feature stablecoins. Instead of "cash back" at the end of the year, they might be able to offer other incentives that reward customers for using stablecoins at the point of sale. And stablecoins might improve the overall shopping experience. That's because blockchain technology speeds up transaction settlement times, from days to just seconds. This could, for example, vastly improve the speed that you get refunds for purchases. How many times have you requested a refund, and been told, "Oh, it should show up in your account in a few days"? Imagine having access to that money nearly instantaneously. Of course, getting customers to embrace stablecoins might be a tough sell. According to top retail industry analysts, one way to get over the adoption hurdle is by pitching stablecoins as a sort of gift card or branded loyalty card that you would present at the point of sale. You wouldn't need to know anything about blockchain technology, crypto, or how stablecoins actually work. Everything would be seamless, and happen behind the scenes. Implications for investors Undeniably, stablecoins represent a huge step for retailers. They will need a tremendous amount of tech savvy in order to get all the blockchain payment technology working as planned. So why not leave all the heavy lifting to Silicon Valley tech firms, some of whom are also planning to launch new stablecoins? Moreover, as the latest Motley Fool research on stablecoins points out, the largest banks still dwarf even the biggest stablecoin issuers. So why not leave the job of stablecoins to banks and other financial institutions, some of whom have said they plan to launch their own stablecoins soon? All of which leads me to think: Maybe investing directly in retailers is not the best way to play the stablecoin trend. Maybe it's better to invest in tech-savvy companies that have strong retail platforms. You could, for example, invest in PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL), which launched a stablecoin of its own in August 2023. Or, you could invest in Shopify (NASDAQ: SHOP), which is now offering stablecoin payment options at the point of sale for e-commerce websites. As for me, I'm still focused on stablecoin issuers such as Circle Internet Group (NYSE: CRCL), which went public in June via a splashy initial public offering. Circle is the issuer of USDC (CRYPTO: USDC), which is the second-most popular stablecoin in the world right now, with a market cap of about $65 billion. It's also the stablecoin of choice for Shopify. At the end of the day, stablecoins could turn out to be a classic "make or buy" decision faced by top retailers. Is it better to make your own stablecoin, or simply buy one that already exists from someone else? My guess is that most retailers will opt for the latter. Should you invest $1,000 in Circle Internet Group right now? Before you buy stock in Circle Internet Group, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Circle Internet Group wasn't one of them.

Progressive Investment Management Corp, managed by Carsten Henningsen, recently executed a significant transaction involving Inc. ((AMZN)). The hedge fund reduced its position by 1,516 shares.

Amazon's strong financial performance and positive earnings call are the most significant factors driving the stock score. The technical analysis suggests positive momentum, but caution is warranted due to near overbought conditions. The high P/E ratio indicates that the stock might be overvalued, but strong growth prospects, especially in AWS and advertising, provide a solid foundation for future performance. The absence of significant corporate events or dividend yield slightly tempers the outlook. To see Spark's full report on AMZN stock, click here. More about Inc.
