John Lewins, K92 Chief Executive Officer and Director, stated, 'During the second quarter, in June, K92 marked a major milestone, with the commencement of commissioning of the new 1.2-million-tonnes-per-annum Stage 3 Process Plant which plans to transform the Company into a Tier 1, mid-tier producer. Commissioning is rapidly advancing, with the first ore tonnes crushed recently. The run of mine (ROM) stockpile has also grown at a rate faster than scheduled, approaching 25,000 tonnes, ahead of the planned handover of the process plant to operations in the first half of Q4 upon practical completion of commissioning. Operationally, production during the first half of the year was ahead of budget and the second half of the year is expected to be our strongest, positioning us well to achieve guidance. Multiple underground projects are also scheduled to be completed this quarter to drive the mine ramp-up, and earlier this month, the first tonnes were conveyed down the ore/waste pass, connecting the main mine to the high-productivity twin incline.
Financially, the Company continues to strengthen its balance sheet with a record $183 million in cash, cash equivalents, and term deposits, including a record net cash position of $124 million, while also investing significant capital into the Stage 3 Expansion. With 86% of Stage 3 Expansion capital spent or committed as at the end of June, remaining on budget, and supported by a record gold price environment and strong production outlook for H2 2025, K92 is well positioned to deliver on the Stage 3 Expansion.
Exploration activity is ramping up across multiple near-mine and regional targets. At Arakompa, up to five surface drill rigs are currently operating. Additionally, up to seven underground drill rigs are active at Kora and Judd, with an increased focus on step-out drilling at Kora Deeps and Judd Deeps in the second half of the year. We look forward to providing further updates as the year progresses.'
Notes:
Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

US Oil-Output Outlook for 2026 Keeps Declining on Lower Prices

The US is going to pump even less oil in 2026 that previously estimated, as lower prices sends production down from this year's record levels. US crude output is now expected to shrink to 13.28 million barrels a day in 2026, according to the Energy Information Administration's Short-Term Energy Outlook released Tuesday. The agency's previous projection in July was for 13.37 million barrels a day, and the country is on track for the first annual drop in production since 2021.

Fastenal Stock: Is Wall Street Bullish or Bearish?

With a market cap of $54.9 billion, Fastenal Company (FAST) is a leading wholesale distributor of industrial and construction supplies across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and internationally. The company offers a wide range of products, including fasteners, tools, safety equipment, and other supplies, serving industries from manufacturing and construction to government and energy. Shares of the Winona, Minnesota-based company have outperformed the broader market over the past 52 weeks. FAST stock has surged 46.4% over this time frame, while the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has rallied 20.3%. Moreover, shares of Fastenal are up 33.7% on a YTD basis, compared to SPX's 9.3% gain.

Focusing more closely, the nuts and bolts maker stock has outpaced the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLI) 22.8% return over the past 52 weeks. Shares of Fastenal climbed 4.2% on Jul. 14 after the company reported Q2 2025 EPS of $0.29 and revenue of $2.1 billion, exceeding the forecasts. The beat was driven by higher demand for safety supplies, with non-fastener product sales rising 9.5%, even as the fastener segment lagged amid sluggish industrial production. Additionally, more customers crossed the $10,000-per-month spending threshold, signaling stronger underlying demand. For the fiscal year ending in December 2025, analysts expect FAST's EPS to grow 11% year-over-year to $1.11. The company's earnings surprise history is mixed. It met or beat the consensus estimates in three of the last four quarters while missing on another occasion. Among the 14 analysts covering the stock, the consensus rating is a 'Moderate Buy.' That's based on four 'Strong Buy' ratings, nine 'Holds,' and one 'Strong Sell.' On Jul. 15, Loop Capital raised its price target on Fastenal to $47 while maintaining a 'Hold' rating. As of writing, the stock is trading above the mean price target of $45.90. The Street-high price target of $55 implies a potential upside of 14.3% from the current price levels.
