Cross River Refines Exploration Targets at the Manitou Gold Project, NW Ontario, Canada

Cross River Ventures Corp. (CSE: CRVC) (OTC Pink: CSRVF) (FSE: C6R) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that its technical team's continuing data compilation and historical review has identified several promising gold targets at its 100% owned, 5,156-hectare, Manitou Gold Project, located within the Uchi Subprovince, NW Ontario, Canada.

Exploration at the Manitou property began in the early 1900's with trenching, and minor gold production. Modern exploration began in 1965 and continued through 2015 with several companies and small-scale vendors conducting a variety of exploration programs. Reviewing timelines of the limited historical work suggests periods of lower gold prices interrupted steady exploration on the property. The technical team's review of work at Manitou shows the potential for shear-zone hosted gold.

The Manitou gold property is located within the eastern margin of the Archean Eagle-Wabigoon-Manitou lakes Greenstone belt approximately 40km south of the community of Dryden. This area has undergone extensive exploration from 1950's to present day, and the property itself has seen several drill campaigns and sampling programs. Ongoing activity in this belt by others has uncovered several north-northeast structural zones that rank high for gold potential and the property is situated along the possible extension of these gold-bearing shear zones.

The Manitou Property is underlain by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks locally intruded by granodiorite porphyries which are intensely altered and contain significant sulfide mineralization. Deformation and alteration are extensive on the property, with regional scale faults cutting northeast, and shear zones trending north-northeast. Numerous developed prospects with historic production are situated along the same northeast trending fault zone in close proximity to the property, including the Elora Mine located 500m to the northeast of the property (drill intercepts noted up to 216.85 g/t Au over 0.3m, and 15.5 g/t Au over 6.9m; MDI 52F07NE 00015).

The Ontario Mineral Database records 16 gold occurrences within the land position, most of which contain shear-hosted gold and sulfide mineralization. Several of the occurrences were mined and variable amounts of ore was historically extracted from small-scale workings. Numerous high-grade gold samples have been collected (e.g., 78.1 g/t Au grab sample from the Bird Island occurrence: MDI 152F07NW00008).

The Company is continuing data compilation, review, and analysis on all of its NW Ontario projects. A series of airborne geophysical surveys are planned for Q2 to further delineate priority target areas before groundwork is set to begin late spring and into the summer months. Once targeting is complete the Company plans to drill test the highest priority areas.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
