A Historic BC Gold Mine Returns 166.2 g/t Gold in New Drilling, Plus an Insurance Data Contract and a Battery Earnings Report

A Historic BC Gold Mine Returns 166.2 g/t Gold in New Drilling, Plus an Insurance Data Contract and a Battery Earnings Report

Historic mining at Premier, near Stewart in northwestern British Columbia, produced more than 40 million ounces of silver, according to the company that owns it now. That owner changed its name in January and still lists restarting the Premier mill as an open question. One underground hole there just returned 3,383 grams of silver per tonne, with 166.2 g/t gold riding along.

Cambria Gold Mines Hits 166.2 g/t Gold Over 3.1 Meters at Premier

Cambria Gold Mines (TSXV: CAMB, OTCQX: CAMVF), formerly Ascot Resources, reported assays on September 22 from 70 surface and underground holes totaling 6,923 meters of infill drilling at its Premier Gold Project in BC’s Golden Triangle. Hole P26U-0095 returned 166.22 g/t gold and 3,383 g/t silver over 3.1 meters, including 467 g/t gold and 9,510 g/t silver over 1.1 meters. Other highlights included 37.38 g/t gold over 5.0 meters in P26U-0051 and 18.26 g/t gold over 9.2 meters in P26-2705, a surface hole the company says cut mineralization ten meters beyond the end of the historic workings.

Nearly all of the gold in the headline 3.1 meters sits in that 1.1-meter slice.

All intervals are downhole lengths. Cambria estimates true widths at 50% to 99% of the reported intervals, and at 63% for P26U-0095. The holes are drilled on roughly 12.5-meter centers, spacing the company says supports mine planning and resource confidence.

Cambria also expanded the Premier Mine Complex infill program to 42,000 planned meters, adding the Silver Coin deposit, with first Silver Coin results expected in October 2026 and drilling planned through year end. The release lists the timing and certainty of a mill restart, outstanding debt, and negative operating cash flow among its own risk factors. The company’s full technical and financial filings sit on SEDAR+.

Intermap Signs Three-Year Insurance Deal With Fairfax-Owned Colonnade

Intermap Technologies (TSX: IMP, OTCQB: ITMSF) announced on September 21 a three-year subscription agreement with Colonnade Insurance S.A., a Luxembourg-based non-life insurer wholly owned by Fairfax Financial Holdings, for a combined flood risk and property valuation product. Colonnade will use it to assess flood exposure, market value and replacement value for residential properties in one workflow.

The rollout starts in the Czech Republic. Slovakia and Hungary are planned for 2027, and wider adoption across Colonnade’s Central and Eastern European operations by 2028 is described as an objective the two companies have set.

No dollar value was disclosed, so there is no way yet to size the deal against a company with a market cap near $48 million. Intermap filed the release as a 6-K the same day. Separately, the company announced a definitive agreement on July 29 to acquire PCI Geomatics Group; this week’s release did not update the status of that deal.

NeoVolta Books $13,460 in Q4 Revenue as Its Georgia Plant Nears Ramp

NeoVolta (Nasdaq: NEOV) reported fiscal 2026 results on September 23. Full-year revenue rose 58% to $13.3 million, but fourth-quarter revenue for April through June was $13,460, against $4.75 million a year earlier. The company attributed the drop to collapsing residential and installer-channel sales after federal tax law changes early in 2026.

The quarter’s net loss was $11.7 million, including a $3.9 million provision for credit losses and bad debt and a $1.1 million residential inventory reserve. Full-year net loss was $21.5 million.

The company is now betting on its 80%-owned Pendergrass, Georgia plant, which makes BESS (battery energy storage systems) for utility and commercial customers, with a production ramp targeted from the second quarter of fiscal 2027, the October to December quarter. SK On has signed to supply 9 GWh of US-made cells from 2027 through 2031. Infinite Grid Capital holds a non-binding letter of intent for about 1.1 GWh, roughly $200 million in potential deployments, and signed a binding capacity reservation on September 17 for Northern Ontario edge AI data center projects in 2027. Infinite Grid Capital is also a NeoVolta shareholder, having bought 4 million shares at $2.50 in February, and a paid consultant to the company with board observation rights, per an August SEC filing.

Cash was $22.2 million at June 30, plus $3.2 million restricted, and a $20 million senior secured term loan followed after year end. Shares outstanding rose from about 34.1 million to 58.3 million over the fiscal year, and on the same day as results NeoVolta filed a $200 million universal shelf registration on SEC EDGAR.

Biotech & Life Sciences: What Moved the Sector This Week

Two positive readouts moved in opposite directions on September 22. Viking Therapeutics said its VK2735 maintenance study preserved up to 97% of prior weight loss with every-other-week dosing, versus 61% after switching to placebo, and the stock traded up about 31% premarket, per Kelin Research’s daily tape; a day later Viking announced proposed offerings of common stock and convertible notes. Celldex said both Phase 3 EMBARQ studies in chronic spontaneous urticaria met their primary and every key secondary endpoint, and its stock traded down about 33% premarket anyway.

On September 23, an FDA advisory committee voted in favor of approving GRAIL’s Galleri multi-cancer early detection test, which is a recommendation and still leaves the approval decision with the FDA. Gossamer Bio submitted a New Drug Application for seralutinib in pulmonary arterial hypertension the same day.

Crypto & Fintech: What Moved the Sector This Week

Bitcoin closed near $81,143 on September 20 and jumped to about $86,603 on September 21, touching an intraday high of $87,354, per Bloomberg, as a broad Wall Street rally pulled crypto past two mid-September setbacks: the Senate’s failure to pass the Clarity Act and a Federal Reserve rate increase. By September 26 it was trading near $84,000, still roughly a third below its record.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $2.39 billion from September 21 to 25, the largest weekly total of 2026. The daily numbers told a softer story: $998.95 million on Monday, falling to $134.47 million by Friday, after roughly $746 million of outflows on September 15 and 16, per figures compiled from SoSoValue and Farside.

What to Watch Next

When will Cambria Gold Mines report its first Silver Coin drill results?

Cambria expects initial Silver Coin results in October 2026, with infill drilling continuing through year end and stope and underground drilling access development prioritized for the fourth quarter. The company has not given a date for restarting the Premier mill.

How much is Intermap’s Colonnade contract worth?

Intermap did not disclose a value. The next checkpoints are the planned Slovakia and Hungary launches in 2027 and whether future quarterly results show the subscription in recurring insurance revenue.

Can NeoVolta turn its Georgia plant into revenue before it needs more capital?

NeoVolta targets a production ramp at Pendergrass starting in the October to December quarter. Watch for the Infinite Grid Capital letter of intent converting into binding orders, and for any offering under the new $200 million shelf.

Which biotech catalysts land in the coming days?

Kodiak Sciences has scheduled Phase 3 topline results for September 28, and Egetis Therapeutics has an FDA action date the same day for Emcitate in MCT8 deficiency.

Is the Bitcoin ETF buying streak running out of steam?

Daily inflows fell every session from September 21 to 25 even as the weekly total set a 2026 record. A return to daily inflows near the $1 billion level, or a slide back into outflows like mid-September, would show which way demand is leaning.
