👏 Colombian Strike

Orosur Mining Inc. (TSXV / AIM: OMI) has reported continued exploration at its 100%-owned Anzá Project in Colombia, particularly at the Pepas Prospect. 

Highlights:

• 75.1 metres of 5.58 g/t gold including, 11.5 metres of 8.34 g/t gold and 13.95 metres of 13.68 g/t gold.

Orosur Mining now fully owns the Anzá Project, located 50 km west of Medellín, after acquiring its former joint venture partner, Minera Monte Aguila. Drilling at the Pepas Prospect is underway, signalling promising new chapters for the project.

😒 Trade Tensions

Canada is exploring export taxes on key commodities, including uranium, oil, and potash, as a countermeasure if incoming U.S. President Donald Trump implements broad tariffs on Canadian goods. While considered a last resort, such taxes could disrupt U.S. industries heavily reliant on Canadian resources.

Canadian oil supplies nearly half the crude processed by U.S. Midwest refineries, uranium powers many U.S. nuclear plants, and potash is critical for American agriculture. These dependencies could make export taxes a potent leverage tool.

Observers speculate that Trump might exempt energy and commodities while targeting Canada’s manufacturing sectors, such as automotive and aerospace. However, Canada may respond with export taxes if Trump exempts energy while imposing tariffs on other goods.

Domestically, the move could deepen political divisions, especially in resource-rich Alberta and Saskatchewan, strongholds for Trudeau’s political opponents. Trudeau’s government is also weighing expanded export control powers in upcoming economic updates, preparing for potential trade escalations.

Lovely.
