A quiet open on Friday, October 9: no new drill assays have cleared the screen so far today. The morning's flow was financings, OTCQX listings and Q3 production updates, plus two drill-adjacent items: GoldHaven reported visual skarn intersections at its Kuhn tungsten target with assays still pending, and K2 Gold's latest release covered surface rock samples rather than drilling. The week's heavy hitters are tabulated below, led by Aldebaran's whole-hole copper intervals and Southern Cross Gold's high-grade Golden Dyke results.

Top 10 holes by AuEq·m, Monday to Friday. Aldebaran's rows are whole-hole bulk intervals of 840–1,730 m at 0.4–0.6% Cu, so their AuEq·m reflects length rather than a discrete high-grade zone; Southern Cross's SDDSC225 is a 2.6 m interval. GT in native units (g/t·m Au, %·m Cu / Li₂O). Au $3,200/oz · Cu $13,700/t · Li₂O $15,000/t.
Not Screened
