Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss! Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today:Spanish Mountain Gold (TSX-V: SPA) Spanish Mountain reported fresh drill results from the Orca Fault target at its Cariboo Gold Corridor project in B.C.—work that management says is helping define stronger grade zones inside its existing open-pit framework. The headline hole returned 171.36m at 0.64 g/t gold, including 102.36m at 0.92 g/t and a higher-grade 17.0m at 2.12 g/t. The company says higher-grade mineralization now shows continuity across roughly 530m of strike, with more assays still pending from additional holes.Arizona Gold & Silver (TSX-V: AZS) Arizona Gold & Silver delivered another attention-grabbing intercept at its Philadelphia Project in Arizona, extending the Perry Discovery further north. Core hole PC25-158 hit 60.37m at 4.36 g/t gold and 6.38 g/t silver, including 4.33m at 19.37 g/t gold and 19.36 g/t silver. The company is already stepping out again with PC25-159 drilling a further 60m north, as it pushes toward an initial resource estimate.PyroGenesis (TSX: PYR) PyroGenesis signed an agreement with the defense division of a major U.S. multinational engineering firm to jointly pursue contracts in 2026 aimed at the safe destruction of remaining chemical weapons in Syria. If successful, PyroGenesis would supply its PACWADS destruction systems plus engineering, training, and support. Management highlighted the platform's 99.9999% destruction efficiency, positioning it as a high-stakes, mission-driven opportunity tied to global security needs.Sitka Gold (TSX-V: SIG) Sitka reported a strong new batch of drilling at the Rhosgobel discovery within its road-accessible RC Gold Project in Yukon's Tombstone Gold Belt. Highlights include 156.9m at 1.00 g/t gold (with higher-grade sections inside), plus multiple other long intercepts that helped expand the mineralized envelope by about 400m. Sitka says drilling confirms at least 975m of strike, visible gold across the full 1.1 km drilled to date, and notes 15 additional drill holes still pending. The company also reiterated it's well funded, citing $45M+ in treasury, no debt, and plans for up to 60,000m of drilling this year.Scottie Resources (TSX-V: SCOT) Scottie kicked off 2026 with more high-grade hits from the Blueberry Contact Zone in B.C.'s Golden Triangle—an area the company says is central to its PEA and low-capital mine plan. Top result: 14.0m at 6.41 g/t gold, including 4.0m at 19.0 g/t and 1.0m at 44.8 g/t. Scottie is aiming to grow and upgrade its resource base while advancing a development strategy that targets early open-pit ounces and a transition to underground mining.Want more fast, investor-friendly small-cap updates like this?

In this episode of Talk of Music City Real Estate, CareyAnn and Monte sit down with Jonathan Harris to unpack a radically different way to list and sell homes in today's unpredictable market (2020–2025 and beyond).  Jonathan explains why experience can become a blind spot, why price does NOT equal value, and how his Marketplace Method can help agents get nearly any home under contract in **10–14 days**—without sacrificing client trust or sales price.  You'll hear how strategic starting prices, seller reserve prices, compressed open-house windows, and upfront inspections/appraisals can create transparent competition, more showings, stronger offers, and greater certainty for sellers.

In this powerful episode of People-First Builders, host Fletcher Wimbush sits down with Chad Abernethy, CEO of Abernethy Contracting, for one of the most honest conversations we've had about leadership, burnout, culture, and what it really takes to transform a construction company from the inside out. Chad opens up about: • Leaving his family's business after burnout and how it reshaped everything he believed about leadership • Scaling a civil contracting company from 0 to $45M — and the personal cost behind the growth • How a merger forced a complete culture reset • Building a people-first organization in an industry not known for warm fuzzies • Why accountability, vulnerability, and transparency must be non-negotiable for leaders • The measurable impact of shifting from "bid-build-bill" to "develop people first" Whether you're a construction leader, a builder of people, or someone navigating the challenges of company growth, Chad's story offers a blueprint for real, sustainable culture change.

Today's guest, Michael Erath, founder of Next Level Growth, reveals why systems like EOS and Scaling Up, while helpful, often become a cage for elite entrepreneurs.
