TULSA, OK / ACCESS Newswire / April 20, 2026 / BOK Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:BOKF) today reported operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. The first quarter 2026 earnings release can be viewed here: https://investor.bokf.com/Q1-2026-Earnings-Full-Release-PDF BOK Financial Corporation will host a conference call to review first quarter 2026 financial results at noon Central time on Tuesday, April 21, 2026.

Key Takeaways BOKF's Q1 EPS of $2.58 beat estimates, rising 38.7% on higher NII, fees and loan growth.Net revenues rose 10.3% as NII grew 8.3% and fees jumped 13.9%, lifting margins and profitability.Loans increased 2.1% but deposits fell 1.9%, while expenses rose and credit metrics were mixed. BOK Financial Corporation's (BOKF - Free Report)  first-quarter 2026 earnings of $2.58 per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.30. The bottom line jumped 38.7% from the prior-year quarter.

BOKF’s results benefited from higher net interest income (NII) and total fees and commissions. An increase in loans was another positive. However, the rise in operating expenses was a major undermining factor.

Net income attributable to shareholders was $155.7 million, which rose 30% year over year.

BOK Financial’s Revenues & Expenses RiseQuarterly net revenues of $553.8 million (net interest income and total other operating revenues) rose 10.3% year over year. The top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $546.8 million.

Net interest income was $342.6 million, up 8.3% year over year. The net interest margin expanded 12 basis points to 2.90%.

Total fees and commissions were $209.8 million, up 13.9% year over year. The rise was driven by an increase in almost all components except other revenues.

Total other operating expenses were $354.2 million, up 1.9% year over year. This rise was mainly driven by business promotion, professional fees and services, net occupancy and equipment, data processing and communications, printing, postage, and supplies, mortgage banking costs and other expense.

The efficiency ratio was 63.21% compared with the prior year quarter’s 68.31%. A fall in the efficiency ratio indicates a rise in profitability.

BOKF’s Loans Rise & Deposits Decline SequentiallyAs of March 31, 2026, total loans were $26.2 billion, up 2.1% from the prior quarter. The increase was driven by growth in commercial loans, commercial real estate loans and loans to individuals.

Total deposits were $38.7 billion, down 1.9% sequentially. The decline was due to lower demand and interest-bearing transaction deposits, partially offset by growth in time and savings deposits.

BOKF Credit Quality: Mixed BagAs of March 31, 2026, non-performing assets were $60 million or 0.23% of outstanding loans and repossessed assets compared with $85.3 million or 0.36% in the prior-year quarter.

The company recorded nil provisions for credit losses, unchanged from the prior-year quarter.

The company recorded net charge-offs of $1.9 million compared with $1.1 million in the year-ago quarter.

The allowance for loan losses was 1.06% of outstanding loans as of March 31, 2026, which declined 12 bps from the year-ago quarter.

BOKF’s Capital Ratios Decline & Profitability Ratios ImproveAs of March 31, 2026, the common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.61% compared with 13.31% a year earlier. The tier 1 capital ratio and total capital ratio were 12.61% and 14.39%, respectively, compared with 13.31% and 14.54%, as of March 31, 2025.

At the end of the first quarter, return on average equity was 10.49%, up from the year-earlier quarter’s 8.59%. Return on average assets was 1.19%, up from 0.95% a year ago.

BOK Financial’s Share Repurchase UpdateThe company did not repurchase any shares during the first quarter of 2026.

Our View on BOK FinancialBOK Financial’s higher net interest income and solid loan balances continue to support overall performance. The company’s improving profitability ratios are positive. However, rising operating expenses pose a near-term concern.

Performance of Other BanksFirst Horizon Corporation (FHN - Free Report) posted first-quarter 2026 earnings per share of 53 cents, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 49 cents. This compares favorably with 42 cents in the year-ago quarter.

FHN’s results benefited from higher NII and a rise in non-interest income, along with improved credit quality. However, the rise in expenses remains a headwind.

M&T Bank Corporation (MTB - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2026 net operating earnings per share of $4.18, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.02. The bottom line compared favorably with earnings of $3.38 per share in the year-ago quarter.

Results were aided by higher NII and a rise in non-interest income on a year-over-year basis, along with modest loan growth. However, a decline in deposits, higher provisions for credit losses, and elevated expenses acted as headwinds for MTB.

BOK Financial (BOKF) has been upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), reflecting growing optimism about the company's earnings prospects. This might drive the stock higher in the near term.

Investors interested in Finance stocks should always be looking to find the best-performing companies in the group. Is BOK Financial (BOKF - Free Report) one of those stocks right now? A quick glance at the company's year-to-date performance in comparison to the rest of the Finance sector should help us answer this question.

BOK Financial is one of 833 companies in the Finance group. The Finance group currently sits at #5 within the Zacks Sector Rank. The Zacks Sector Rank considers 16 different sector groups. The average Zacks Rank of the individual stocks within the groups is measured, and the sectors are listed from best to worst.

The Zacks Rank emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find stocks with improving earnings outlooks. This system has a long record of success, and these stocks tend to be on track to beat the market over the next one to three months. BOK Financial is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).

Over the past 90 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for BOKF's full-year earnings has moved 4.7% higher. This shows that analyst sentiment has improved and the company's earnings outlook is stronger.

Based on the latest available data, BOKF has gained about 9.7% so far this year. Meanwhile, stocks in the Finance group have lost about 0.1% on average. This shows that BOK Financial is outperforming its peers so far this year.

Hamilton Insurance (HG - Free Report) is another Finance stock that has outperformed the sector so far this year. Since the beginning of the year, the stock has returned 10.8%.

In Hamilton Insurance's case, the consensus EPS estimate for the current year increased 2.3% over the past three months. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Breaking things down more, BOK Financial is a member of the Banks - Southwest industry, which includes 19 individual companies and currently sits at #70 in the Zacks Industry Rank. Stocks in this group have gained about 4.1% so far this year, so BOKF is performing better this group in terms of year-to-date returns.

On the other hand, Hamilton Insurance belongs to the Insurance - Multi line industry. This 45-stock industry is currently ranked #186. The industry has moved -4.9% year to date.

BOK Financial and Hamilton Insurance could continue their solid performance, so investors interested in Finance stocks should continue to pay close attention to these stocks.

Can BOKF keep climbing after a 15.9% six-month rally as loans, deposits and fintech partnerships grow despite expense and liquidity headwinds? Let us find out.

Investors in LKQ (LKQ - Free Report) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Dec 18, 2026 $17.50 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.

What is Implied Volatility?Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.

What do the Analysts Think?Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for LKQ, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, LKQ is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the Automotive - Replacement Parts Industry that ranks in the Top 27% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, one analyst has increased his earnings estimate for the current quarter, while four have dropped their estimate. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter to move from 78 cents per share to 73 cents per share in the same time period.

Given the way analysts feel about LKQ right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.

Hibbett Sports will close 175 stores around the U.S. over the next three years as its parent company, JD Sports, looks to reorganize its footprint.

JD Sports acquired Hibbett in 2024 in a deal valued at around $1.1 billion, with the acquisition viewed as enhancing JD’s presence in the North American footwear market. Hibbett had 1,169 stores in 36 states as of May 2024, according to the press release for the deal.

Now, the company is moving to reduce its store count as part of a cost-cutting strategy.

JD Sports CEO Regis Schultz said on the company’s fourth quarter earnings call that its “second key strategic initiative is driving store productivity and optimization of our store estate. Our net store movement last year was a reduction of 39 stores, demonstrating our fewer, bigger, and better store strategy.”

“In North America, we will leverage group best practice to optimize EBIT store footprint and profitability. As part of this, we will close around 170 underperforming EBIT stores over the next three years,” Schultz added.

Hibbett Sports will shutter 175 stores across the U.S. over the next three years. Bloomberg via Getty Images JD said that at the start of its fiscal year in February 2025, there were 999 Hibbett stores and that figure declined to a total of 982 when its fiscal year ended in January 2026 as the group consolidated its operations after the Hibbett acquisition.

JD’s CFO Dominic Platt added that the group is planning to open about 20 new JD stores as well as converting between 70 to 80 Finish Line stores to JD locations in North America.

After factoring in JD Sports’ plans in Europe, the group expects its total store count to “stay broadly flat for the year,” Platt said.

JD Sports CEO Regis Schultz said closures are part of a “fewer, bigger, and better store strategy.” Bloomberg via Getty Images JD Sports’ stock is down about 1.7% year to date and is around 1.8% higher over the last year.

The news comes as Hibbett’s retail footwear rival, Foot Locker, announced store closure plans last November following its $2.4 billion acquisition by Dick’s Sporting Goods in September 2025.

The company didn’t specify how many Foot Locker locations would close, though nine Dick’s locations closed in 2025, along with about 11 Foot Locker-owned stores and four licensed stores.

SAN DIEGO, June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins LLP reminds stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired LKQ Corporation (NASDAQ: LKQ) common stock between February 27, 2023 and July 23, 2025. LKQ is a global distributor of alternative collision replacement parts, recycled engines, and other vehicle components for the repair of automobiles.

, /PRNewswire/ --

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of LKQ Corporation (NASDAQ: LKQ) between February 27, 2023 and July 23, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important June 22, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

So What: If you purchased LKQ common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

What to do Next: To join the LKQ class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=62121 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 22, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Details of the Case: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, LKQ repeatedly touted the benefits of the acquisition of FinishMaster, a subsidiary of Uni-Select. For example, in announcing the acquisition in February 2023, LKQ represented that the acquisition was a "compelling strategic fit" to "enhance LKQ's business and drive profitable growth." LKQ also represented that the acquisition presented "minimal integration risk," including because "Uni-Select's FinishMaster business improves LKQ's scale and product mix to compete" in the North American automotive paint segment.

After completing the acquisition in August 2023, LKQ began to integrate FinishMaster into LKQ's North American operating segment. LKQ and its executives touted the integration as a "highly synergistic opportunity" and "competitive moat" to protect LKQ against market share losses to AutoZone and other competitors. In reality, FinishMaster was losing major customers and market share, including the business of key multi-shop operator clients that were critical to FinishMaster's revenue. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the LKQ class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=62121 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Notice to Pension Funds, Asset Managers, and Fiduciaries

, /PRNewswire/ -- Institutional investors holding positions in LKQ Corporation (NASDAQ: LKQ) during the period February 27, 2023 through July 23, 2025 may wish to evaluate lead plaintiff opportunities in a pending securities class action. Request an institutional investor loss assessment. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (888) SueWallSt.

LKQ shares suffered successive declines of 14.9%, 12.4%, 11.6%, and 17.8% as concealed problems with its $2.1 billion Uni-Select acquisition were revealed over multiple quarters. The window to apply for lead plaintiff closes on June 22, 2026.

Fiduciary Obligations and Recovery Options

Pension funds, endowments, and asset managers with fiduciary duties to beneficiaries should evaluate whether participation in the LKQ securities action is warranted. Fiduciaries who held LKQ shares during the class period may have an obligation to investigate recovery options on behalf of their beneficiaries. Key considerations include:

Institutional holders purchased LKQ shares at prices allegedly inflated by concealed customer losses at FinishMaster, which accounted for roughly 40% of Uni-Select's annual revenue The company touted "minimal integration risk" and projected $55 million in cost synergies, later revised to $65 million, while FinishMaster was actively losing major clients Portfolio losses compounded across multiple corrective disclosures spanning April 2024 through July 2025 Lead plaintiffs gain direct oversight of litigation strategy, settlement negotiations, and counsel selection Serving as lead plaintiff carries no additional financial obligation beyond the time commitment involved Portfolio Impact Assessment

The lawsuit contends that LKQ's Wholesale North America segment missed revenue targets by approximately $200 million and EBITDA margin targets by $24 million as customer attrition overwhelmed the supposed synergy benefits. The complaint further alleges that by July 2025, competitors had taken significant market share by undercutting LKQ on price, causing an additional $20 million EBITDA shortfall and a year-over-year margin decline of 11%.

Institutional investors with concentrated positions in the automotive aftermarket sector may have experienced amplified harm from these alleged misrepresentations.

Contact us for institutional recovery options or call Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at (888) SueWallSt.

Case Summary

"Institutional investors play a critical role in securities class actions. Their participation helps ensure that cases are prosecuted effectively and that recoveries reflect the full scope of harm suffered by the class." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

The action, filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, alleges that LKQ and certain senior executives violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making materially false and misleading statements about the acquisition and integration of Uni-Select and its subsidiary FinishMaster. The complaint asserts that management concealed that FinishMaster had been losing major customers since before the acquisition closed, while publicly characterizing the deal as a "highly synergistic opportunity" with accelerating benefits.

INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR REPRESENTATION -- SueWallSt provides sophisticated counsel to institutional investors evaluating lead plaintiff opportunities. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars. Ranked among ISS Top 50 for seven consecutive years.

Vancouver, British Columbia and Melbourne, Australia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 10, 2026) - Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd (TSX: SXGC) (ASX: SX2) (OTCQX: SXGCF) (FSE: MV3) ("SXGC", "SX2" or the "Company") announces results from seven drill holes from the Apollo and Apollo East prospect from the 100%-owned Sunday Creek Gold-Antimony Project in Victoria (Figures 1 to 5). Best results included 36.6 m @ 6.5 g/t AuEq (4.0 g/t Au, 1.0% Sb) from 700.0 m in drill hole SDDSC202. The true thickness of the mineralized intervals is interpreted to be approximately 55% to 75% of the sampled thickness for all reported holes.

Four High Level Takeaways:

Best new intersection of 36.6 m @ 6.5 g/t AuEq (4.0 g/t Au, 1.0% Sb) from 700.0 m in SDDSC202, with high grade assays up to 493 g/t Au and 29.1% Sb, with two previously unmodelled high-grade zones adding to the Apollo East vein architecture.

SDDSC214W1 returned the most easterly mineralization identified within the main drill area to date (Figure 3), expanding Apollo East a further 20 m east with intersections on new vein sets including 0.5 m @ 251.4 g/t AuEq (232.0 g/t Au, 8.1% Sb) from 605.2 m and individual assays up to 362.0 g/t Au.

Shallowest Apollo East results to date in SDDSC217, a ~97 m updip extension confirming strong antimony tenor near surface, with 0.1 m @ 130.6 g/t AuEq (55.8 g/t Au, 31.3% Sb) from 324.9 m.

Mineralization continues to step out and grow at depth and along strike, with seven assays exceeding 100 g/t Au and five exceeding 20% Sb across the holes reported, while eleven rigs and 67 pending holes continue the 200,000 m program to Q1 2027.

Michael Hudson, President & CEO, states: "These seven holes continue to do what Sunday Creek does best, growing the system in every direction we test. SDDSC202 delivered a standout 36.6 m at 6.5 g/t AuEq with high grade assays up to 493 g/t gold, while SDDSC214W1 has pushed mineralization to the most easterly position yet identified anywhere on the property, opening up new ground at Apollo East. The shallow, antimony-rich results up to 31.3% Sb in SDDSC217 are equally important, confirming strong critical-metal tenor close to surface. With eleven rigs turning and 67 holes pending, we are only accelerating as we drive toward defining the full extent of this exceptional gold-antimony system."

Pending Results and Update

Eleven drill rigs are currently operational on the Sunday Creek project. Results are pending from 67 holes currently being processed and analyzed including eleven holes that are actively being drilled and two abandoned hole (Figure 2). The Company continues its ongoing 200,000 m drill program through to Q1 2027.

About Sunday Creek

The Sunday Creek epizonal-style gold project is located 60 km north of Melbourne within 16,900 hectares ("Ha") of granted exploration tenements. SXGC is also the freehold landholder of 1,392 Ha that forms the key portion in and around the main drilled area at the Sunday Creek Project.

Gold and antimony form in a relay of vein sets that cut across a steeply dipping zone of intensely altered rocks (the "host"). These vein sets are like a "Golden Ladder" structure where the main host extends between the side rails deep into the earth, with multiple cross-cutting vein sets that host the gold forming the rungs. At Apollo, Golden Dyke and Rising Sun these individual 'rungs' have been defined over 600 m depth extent from surface to over 1,200 m below surface, are 2.5 m to 3.5 m wide (median widths) (and up to 10 m), and 20 m to 100 m in strike.

Cumulatively, 262 drill holes for 123,974.14 m have been reported from Sunday Creek since late 2020. This amount includes five holes for 929 m that have been drilled for geotechnical purposes and 22 holes for 2,972.92m that were abandoned due to deviation or hole conditions. Fourteen drill holes for 2,383 m have been reported regionally outside of the main Sunday Creek drill area with eleven additional regional holes currently being processed. A total of 64 historic drill holes for 5,599 m were completed from the late 1960s to 2008. The project now contains a total of ninety-six (96) composite intersections exceeding 100 g/t Au and eighty (80) composite intersections between 50 g/t and 100 g/t Au, and one-hundred and twelve (112) composite intersections exceeding 10% Sb by applying a 1 m (down hole length) @ 5 g/t AuEq lower cut.

Southern Cross Gold's systematic drill program is strategically targeting these significant vein formations, which are currently defined over 1,550 m strike of the host dyke/sediment ("rails of the ladder") from Christina to Apollo prospects, of which approximately 650 m has been more intensively drill tested (Golden Dyke to Apollo). At least 115 'rungs' have been defined to date, defined by high-grade intercepts (20 g/t Au to >7,330 g/t Au) along with lower grade edges. Ongoing step-out drilling is aiming to uncover the potential extent of this mineralized system (Figure 2).

Geologically, the project is located within the Melbourne Structural Zone in the Lachlan Fold Belt. The regional host to the Sunday Creek mineralization is an interbedded turbidite sequence of siltstones and minor sandstones metamorphosed to sub-greenschist facies and folded into a set of open north-west trending folds.

Further Information

Further discussion and analysis of the Sunday Creek project is available through the interactive Vrify 3D animations, presentations and videos all available on the SXGC website. These data, along with an interview on these results with President & CEO/Managing Director Michael Hudson can be viewed at www.southerncrossgold.com.

No upper gold grade cut is applied in the averaging and intervals are reported as drill thickness. However, during future Mineral Resource studies, the requirement for assay top cutting will be assessed. The Company notes that due to rounding of assay results to one significant figure, minor variations in calculated composite grades may occur.

Figures 1 to 5 show project location, plan and longitudinal views of drill results reported here and Tables 1 to 3 provide collar and assay data. The true thickness of the mineralized intervals reported individually as estimated true widths ("ETW"), otherwise they are interpreted to be approximately 55% to 75% of the sampled thickness for other reported holes. Lower grades were cut at 1.0 g/t AuEq lower cutoff over a maximum width of 2 m with higher grades cut at 5.0 g/t AuEq lower cutoff over a maximum of 1 m width.

Critical Metal Epizonal Gold-Antimony Deposits

Sunday Creek (Figure 5) is an epizonal gold-antimony deposit formed in the late Devonian (like Fosterville, Costerfield and Redcastle), 60 million years later than mesozonal gold systems formed in Victoria (for example Ballarat and Bendigo). Epizonal deposits are a form of orogenic gold deposit classified according to their depth of formation: epizonal (<6 km), mesozonal (6 km to 12 km) and hypozonal (>12 km).

Epizonal deposits in Victoria often have associated high levels of the critical metal, antimony, and Sunday Creek is no exception. China claims a 56 per cent share of global mined supplies of antimony, according to a 2023 European Union study. Antimony features highly on the critical minerals lists of many countries including Australia, the United States of America, Canada, Japan and the European Union. Australia ranks seventh for antimony production despite all production coming from a single mine at Costerfield in Victoria, located nearby to all SXGC projects. Antimony alloys with lead and tin which results in improved properties for solders, munitions, bearings and batteries. Antimony is a prominent additive for halogen-containing flame retardants. Adequate supplies of antimony are critical to the world's energy transition, and to the high-tech industry, especially the semi-conductor and defence sectors where it is a critical additive to primers in munitions.

Antimony represents approximately 21% to 24% in situ recoverable value of Sunday Creek at an AuEq of 2.39 ratio.

About Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Limited (TSX: SXGC) (ASX: SX2) (OTCQX: SXGCF) (FSE: MV3) 

Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd. (TSX: SXGC) (ASX: SX2) (OTCQX: SXGCF), is defining a leading gold-antimony project at the Sunday Creek Gold-Antimony Project, located 60 km north of Melbourne. Sunday Creek is a significant gold and antimony drill discovery in a Tier 1 location, with high-grade drill results including 96 composite intersections exceeding 100 g/t Au from 129,573 km of drilling. The mineralization follows a "Golden Ladder" structure over 12 km of strike length, with structures tested from surface to 1,100 m depth.

Sunday Creek's strategic value is enhanced by its dual-metal profile. The Company has a critical mineral the Western world needs. This has gained increased significance following China's export restrictions on antimony, a critical metal for defence and semiconductor applications. Southern Cross' inclusion in the US Defense Industrial Base Consortium (DIBC) and Australia's AUKUS-related legislative changes position it as a potential key Western antimony supplier.

Technical fundamentals further strengthen the investment case, with preliminary metallurgical work showing non-refractory mineralization suitable for conventional processing and gold recoveries of 93% to 98% through gravity and flotation.

With a strong cash position, 1,392 Ha of strategic freehold land ownership, and a large 200 km drill program planned through Q1 2027, SXGC is well-positioned to advance this globally significant gold-antimony discovery in a tier-one jurisdiction, delivering milestone by milestone.

Kenneth Bush, Head of Exploration for SXGC, a Member of Australian Institute of Geoscientists and a Registered Professional Geologist in the fields of Mining and Exploration (#10315), is the Qualified Person as defined by the NI 43-101. They have prepared, reviewed, verified and approved the technical contents of this release.

Analytical samples are transported to the Bendigo facility of On Site Laboratory Services ("On Site") which operates under both an ISO 9001 and NATA quality systems. Samples were prepared and analyzed for gold using the fire assay technique (PE01S method; 25 gram charge), followed by measuring the gold in solution with flame AAS equipment. Samples for multi-element analysis (BM011 and over-range methods as required) use aqua regia digestion and ICP-MS analysis. The QA/QC program of Southern Cross Gold consists of the systematic insertion of certified standards of known gold content, blanks within interpreted mineralized rock and quarter core duplicates. In addition, On Site inserts blanks and standards into the analytical process.

SXGC considers that both gold and antimony that are included in the gold equivalent calculation ("AuEq") have reasonable potential to be recovered and sold at Sunday Creek, given current geochemical understanding, historic production statistics and geologically analogous mining operations. Historically, ore from Sunday Creek was treated onsite or shipped to the Costerfield mine, located 54 km to the northwest of the project, for processing during WW1. The Costerfield mine corridor, now owned by Alkane Resources (previously Mandalay Resources) contains two million ounces of equivalent gold (Mandalay Resources Q3 2021 Results), and in 2020 was the sixth highest-grade global underground mine and a top 5 global producer of antimony.

SXGC considers that it is appropriate to adopt the same gold equivalent variables as Mandalay Resources Ltd in its 2024 End of Year Mineral Reserves and Resources Press Release, dated February 20, 2025. The gold equivalence formula used by Mandalay Resources was calculated using Costerfield's 2024 production costs, using a gold price of US$2,500 per ounce, an antimony price of US$19,000 per tonne and 2024 total year metal recoveries of 91% for gold and 92% for antimony, and is as follows:

AuEq = Au (g/t) + 2.39 × Sb (%)

Based on the latest Costerfield calculation and given the similar geological styles and historic toll treatment of Sunday Creek mineralization at Costerfield, SXGC considers that a AuEq = Au (g/t) + 2.39 × Sb (%) is appropriate to use for the initial exploration targeting of gold-antimony mineralization at Sunday Creek.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

CriteriaJORC Code explanationCommentarySampling techniquesNature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.Aspects of the determination of mineralization that are Material to the Public Report.In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralization types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.Sampling has been conducted on drill core (half core for >90% and quarter core for check samples), grab samples (field samples of in-situ bedrock and boulders; including duplicate samples), trench samples (rock chips, including duplicates) and soil samples (including duplicate samples).
Locations of field samples were obtained by using a GPS, generally to an accuracy of within 5 metres. Drill hole and trench locations have been confirmed to <1 metre using a differential GPS.
Samples locations have also been verified by plotting locations on the high-resolution Lidar mapsDrill core is marked for cutting and cut using an automated diamond saw used by Company staff in Kilmore.
Samples are bagged at the core saw and transported to the Bendigo On Site Laboratory for assay.
At On Site samples are crushed using a jaw crusher combined with a rotary splitter and a 1 kg split is separated for pulverizing (LM5) and assay.Standard fire assay techniques are used for gold assay on a 30 g charge by experienced staff (used to dealing with high sulfide and stibnite-rich charges). On Site gold method by fire assay code PE01S.Screen fire assay is used to understand gold grain-size distribution where coarse gold is evident.ICP-OES is used to analyse the aqua regia digested pulp for an additional 12 elements (method BM011) and over-range antimony is measured using flame AAS (method known as B050).Soil samples were sieved in the field and an 80-mesh sample bagged and transported to ALS Global laboratories in Brisbane for super-low level gold analysis on a 50 g samples by method ST44 (using aqua regia and ICP-MS).Grab and rock chip samples are generally submitted to On Site Laboratories for standard fire assay and 12 element ICP-OES as described above.Drilling techniquesDrill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).HQ or NQ diameter diamond drill core, oriented using Axis Champ orientation tool with the orientation line marked on the base of the drill core by the driller/offsider.
A standard 3 metre core barrel has been found to be most effective in both the hard and soft rocks in the project.Drill sample recoveryMethod of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.Core recoveries were maximised using HQ or NQ diamond drill core with careful control over water pressure to maintain soft-rock integrity and prevent loss of fines from soft drill core. Recoveries are determined on a metre-by-metre basis in the core shed using a tape measure against marked up drill core checking against driller's core blocks.Plots of grade versus recovery and RQD (described below) show no trends relating to loss of drill core, or fines.LoggingWhether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography.The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.Geotechnical logging of the drill core takes place on racks in the company core shed.
Core orientations marked at the drill rig are checked for consistency, and base of core orientation lines are marked on core where two or more orientations match within 10 degrees.
Core recoveries are measured for each metre
RQD measurements (cumulative quantity of core sticks > 10 cm in a metre) are made on a metre-by-metre basis.Each tray of drill core is photographed (wet and dry) after it is fully marked up for sampling and cutting.The ½ core cutting line is placed approximately 10 degrees above the orientation line so the orientation line is retained in the core tray for future work.Geological logging of drill core includes the following parameters:
Rock types, lithology
Alteration
Structural information (orientations of veins, bedding, fractures using standard alpha-beta measurements from orientation line; or, in the case of un-oriented parts of the core, the alpha angles are measured)
Veining (quartz, carbonate, stibnite)
Key minerals (visible under hand lens, e.g. gold, stibnite)100% of drill core is logged for all components described above into the company MX logging database.Logging is fully quantitative, although the description of lithology and alteration relies on visible observations by trained geologists.Each tray of drill core is photographed (wet and dry) after it is fully marked up for sampling and cutting.Logging is considered to be at an appropriate quantitative standard to use in future studies.Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparationIf core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry.For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.Drill core is typically half-core sampled using an Almonte core saw. The drill core orientation line is retained.Quarter core is used when taking sampling duplicates (termed FDUP in the database).Sampling representivity is maximised by always taking the same side of the drill core (whenever oriented),and consistently drawing a cut line on the core where orientation is not possible. The field technician draws these lines.Sample sizes are maximised for coarse gold by using half core, and using quarter core and half core splits (laboratory duplicates) allows an estimation of nugget effect.In mineralized rock the company uses approximately 10% of ¼ core duplicates, certified reference materials (suitable OREAS materials), laboratory sample duplicates and instrument repeats.In the soil sampling program duplicates were obtained every 20th sample and the laboratory inserted low-level gold standards regularly into the sample flow.Quality of assay data and laboratory testsThe nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established.The fire assay technique for gold used by On Site is a globally recognised method, and over-range follow-ups including gravimetric finish and screen fire assay are standard. Of significance at the On Site laboratory is the presence of fire assay personnel who are experienced in dealing with high sulfide charges (especially those with high stibnite contents) - this substantially reduces the risk of inaccurate reporting in complex sulfide-gold charges.Where screen fire assay is used, this assay will be reported instead of the original fire assay. The ICP-OES technique is a standard analytical technique for assessing elemental concentrations. The digest used (aqua regia) is excellent for the dissolution of sulfides (in this case generally stibnite, pyrite and trace arsenopyrite), but other silicate-hosted elements, in particular vanadium (V), may only be partially dissolved. These silicate-hosted elements are not important in the determination of the quantity of gold, antimony, arsenic or sulphur.A portable XRF has been used in a qualitative manner on drill core to ensure appropriate core samples have been taken (no pXRF data are reported or included in the MX database).Acceptable levels of accuracy and precision have been established using the following methods
¼ duplicates - half core is split into quarters and given separate sample numbers (commonly in mineralized core) - low to medium gold grades indicate strong correlation, dropping as the gold grade increases over 40 g/t Au.
Blanks - blanks are inserted after visible gold and in strongly mineralized rocks to confirm that the crushing and pulping are not affected by gold smearing onto the crusher and LM5 swing mill surfaces. Results are excellent, generally below detection limit and a single sample at 0.03 g/t Au.
Certified Reference Materials - OREAS CRMs have been used throughout the project including blanks, low (<1 g/t Au), medium (up to 5 g/t Au) and high-grade gold samples (> 5 g/t Au). Results are automatically checked on data import into the MX database to fall within 2 standard deviations of the expected value.
Laboratory splits - On Site conducts splits of both coarse crush and pulp duplicates as quality control and reports all data. In particular, high Au samples have the most repeats.
Laboratory CRMs - On Site regularly inserts their own CRM materials into the process flow and reports all data
Laboratory precision - duplicate measurements of solutions (both Au from fire assay and other elements from the aqua regia digests) are made regularly by the laboratory and reported.Accuracy and precision have been determined carefully by using the sampling and measurement techniques described above during the sampling (accuracy) and laboratory (accuracy and precision) stages of the analysis.Soil sample company duplicates and laboratory certified reference materials all fall within expected ranges.Verification of sampling and assayingThe verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.The use of twinned holes.Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.Discuss any adjustment to assay data.The Independent Geologist has visited Sunday Creek drill sites and inspected drill core held at the Kilmore core shed.Visual inspection of drill intersections matches both the geological descriptions in the database and the expected assay data (for example, gold and stibnite visible in drill core is matched by high Au and Sb results in assays).In addition, on receipt of results Company geologists assess the gold, antimony and arsenic results to verify that the intersections returned expected data.The electronic data storage in the MX database is of a high standard. Primary logging data are entered directly by the geologists and field technicians and the assay data are electronically matched against sample number on return from the laboratory.Certified reference materials, ¼ core field duplicates (FDUP), laboratory splits and duplicates and instrument repeats are all recorded in the database.Exports of data include all primary data, from hole SDDSC077B onwards after discussion with SRK Consulting. Prior to this gold was averaged across primary, field and lab duplicates.Adjustments to assay data are recorded by MX, and none are present (or required).Twinned drill holes are not available at this stage of the project.Location of data pointsAccuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.Specification of the grid system used.Quality and adequacy of topographic control.Differential GPS used to locate drill collars, trenches and some workingsStandard GPS for some field locations (grab and soils samples), verified against Lidar data.The grid system used throughout is Geocentric datum of Australia 1994; Map Grid Zone 55 (GDA94_Z55), also referred to as ELSG 28355. Reported azimuths also relate to MGA55 (GDA94_Z55).Topographic control is excellent owing to sub 10 cm accuracy from Lidar data.Data spacing and distributionData spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.Whether sample compositing has been applied.The data spacing is suitable for reporting of exploration results - evidence for this is based on the improving predictability of high-grade gold-antimony intersections.At this time, the data spacing and distribution are not sufficient for the reporting of Mineral Resource Estimates. This however may change as knowledge of grade controls increase with future drill programs.Samples have been composited to a 1 g/t AuEq over 2.0 m width for lower grades and 5 g/t AuEq over 1.0 m width for higher grades in table 3. All individual assays above 0.1 g/t AuEq have been reported to two decimal places with no compositing in table 4. Orientation of data in relation to geological structureWhether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralized structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.The true thickness of the mineralized intervals reported are interpreted to be approximately 55-75% of the sampled thickness. Drilling is oriented in an optimum direction when considering the combination of host rock orientation and apparent vein control on gold and antimony grade.
The steep nature of some of the veins may give increases in apparent thickness of some intersections, but more drilling is required to quantify.A sampling bias is not evident from the data collected to date (drill holes cut across mineralized structures at a moderate angle).Sample securityThe measures taken to ensure sample security.Drill core is delivered to the Kilmore core logging shed by either the drill contractor or company field staff. Samples are marked up and cut by company staff at the Kilmore core shed, in an automated diamond saw and bagged before loaded onto strapped secured pallets and trucked by company staff to Bendigo for submission to the laboratory. There is no evidence in any stage of the process, or in the data for any sample security issues.Audits or reviewsThe results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.Continuous monitoring of CRM results, blanks and duplicates is undertaken by geologists and the company data geologist. Mr Kenneth Bush for SXG has the orientation, logging and assay data.Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

widths and
intercept lengthsThese relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.If the geometry of the mineralization with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g 'down holelength, true width not known').See reporting of true widths in the body of the press release.DiagramsAppropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported. These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.The results of the diamond drilling are displayed in the figures in the announcement.Balanced reportingWhere comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high-grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.All results above 0.1 g/t Au have been tabulated in this announcement. The results are considered representative with no intended bias.Core loss, where material, is disclosed in tabulated drill intersections.Other substantive exploration dataOther exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.Preliminary testing was reported in January 11, 2024. This established the general metallurgical test procedure for samples from the Sunday Creek deposits and demonstrated the basis for confidence in establishing prospects for economic recovery of contained gold and antimony to three separate products:Metallic gold product by gravity recoveryAntimony-gold flotation concentratePyrite-arsenopyrite-gold flotation concentrateTesting has now been expanded to include samples from additional zones of the mineral deposits and to refine metallurgical processes. The aim was to improve aspects of antimony concentrate production, maximise gold recovery to a high-grade metallic product, and to further investigate the nature of gold occurrence.The work, conducted by ALS Burnie Laboratories, focused on:Improving selectivity between sulphide minerals in the antimony flotation stage whilst maintaining high overall gold recovery.Further processing of the flotation concentrates, to assess the metallurgical response of contained gold.Mineralogical examination of selected product samples.It was demonstrated that, with appropriate process conditions, high antimony and gold recovery could be maintained whilst rejecting arsenic and iron sulphides in the first flotation stage. The antimony concentrate produced (~50% Sb, <0.2% As) is deemed to be attractive to the smelter market.Recovery of antimony to concentrate varied with feed type, and ranged from 83% to 93% for the samples tested from the antimony rich zones.Additional metallic gold was recovered from the flotation concentrate by gravity separation.The gold grade of the concentrate is a function of the proportion of feed gold associated with arsenic-iron sulphides, the ratio of gold to antimony in the feed, the gold recovered to the metallic gold product, and the flotation rate of gold in the first flotation stage.High overall gold recovery was achieved with all samples tested.Further WorkAdditional characterization testing across deposit zonesLocked cycle testing to confirm overall recoveriesMulti-stage cleaning optimization to maximize concentrate qualityPilot plant evaluation of larger samples Process plant design studies targeting Q1 2027 completionFurther workThe nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.The Company has stated it will drill 200,000 m through 2025 to Q1 2027.

Varon Corp (OTCID:OZSC)'s US subsidiary, Varon USA, is bringing performance beverage brand Ballislife Drink to approximately 160 retail locations across Southern California beginning June 2026, marking the brand's entry into one of the country's most prominent basketball markets.

Tenace Consulting has been appointed as regional distribution partner to support store-level execution across the market.

Varon Corp and Ozop Energy Solutions (OTC: OZSC) are currently completing pre-closing conditions related to a previously announced transaction between the two companies.

Planned retail locations span national convenience and gas outlets, basketball-focused gyms, and select regional convenience operators.

The launch follows Ballislife Drink's recent announcement that NBA All-Star Darius Garland joined the brand as an equity partner and brand ambassador.

Ballislife Drink is a caffeine-free sports beverage containing beet juice concentrate, beta-alanine, an electrolyte blend, B6, B12, and L-theanine, delivering 45 calories per serving from organic cane sugar. The product targets the growing functional sports beverage segment.

"Southern California is one of the most important basketball markets in the country, and it's a market we've been working toward for some time," said Benjamin Schubert, CEO of Ballislife Drink. "Basketball culture, fitness, and daily hydration all intersect here, and that's exactly where our product fits."

CMS Energy (CMS) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.13 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.11 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.02 per share a year ago.

All investors love getting big returns from their portfolio, whether it's through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities. But for income investors, generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments is your primary focus.

While cash flow can come from bond interest or interest from other types of investments, income investors hone in on dividends. A dividend is the distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders; it's often viewed by its dividend yield, a metric that measures a dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends make up large portions of long-term returns, and in many cases, dividend contributions surpass one-third of total returns.

Based in Jackson, CMS Energy (CMS - Free Report) is in the Utilities sector, and so far this year, shares have seen a price change of 8.57%. Currently paying a dividend of $0.57 per share, the company has a dividend yield of 3%. In comparison, the Utility - Electric Power industry's yield is 2.82%, while the S&P 500's yield is 1.39%.

Looking at dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $2.28 is up 5.1% from last year. Over the last 5 years, CMS Energy has increased its dividend 5 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 5.79%. Looking ahead, future dividend growth will be dependent on earnings growth and payout ratio, which is the proportion of a company's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. CMS Energy's current payout ratio is 60%, meaning it paid out 60% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend.

Looking at this fiscal year, CMS expects solid earnings growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 is $3.87 per share, with earnings expected to increase 7.20% from the year ago period.

Investors like dividends for a variety of different reasons, from tax advantages and decreasing overall portfolio risk to considerably improving stock investing profits. It's important to keep in mind that not all companies provide a quarterly payout.

High-growth firms or tech start-ups, for example, rarely provide their shareholders a dividend, while larger, more established companies that have more secure profits are often seen as the best dividend options. Income investors have to be mindful of the fact that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle during periods of rising interest rates. That said, they can take comfort from the fact that CMS is not only an attractive dividend play, but also represents a compelling investment opportunity with a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).
