According to market intelligence firm Newzoo, global gaming revenue came in at US$177.9 billion in 2024, with mobile gaming accounting for more than half of that amount at US$97.6 billion.

The firm states that the mobile gaming market has reached maturity but still achieved higher growth than the console and PC segments, with revenue up by 2.8 percent globally last year. The regions driving that growth are North America and Europe, where markets rebounded due to big releases and diversified revenue streams.

Mobile games are typically accessed through three core operating systems: Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS, Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows and Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Android. Notably, the iOS App Store generated nearly 37 percent of its revenue from mobile gaming apps in 2024, totaling US$3.83 billion. However, figures show that most mobile games on the market today are developed for Android, representing 75 percent of total mobile game downloads.

Critical One Energy (CSE:CRTL,OTCQB:MMTLF), formerly Madison Metals, announced on June 12 that it has entered into an agreement with uranium-focused Dark Star Minerals (CSE:BATT) to sell 100 percent of its interests in the Khan West and Cobra North uranium projects in Namibia’s Erongo uranium province.

The acquisition will transfer Critical One’s Namibian uranium assets — specifically the Khan West and Cobra North projects — through staged cash payments and share issuances over a two year period.

The move signals a strategic shift by Critical One toward its Howells Lake antimony-gold project in Ontario, Canada, as it aims to capitalize on growing demand for critical minerals.

The Khan West and Cobra North projects are situated in a well-established Namibian uranium-mining district near the Rössing uranium mine, one of the world’s largest uranium-producing properties.

Cobra North includes two exclusive prospecting licenses and has a historical NI 43-101 inferred resource estimate of 15.6 million metric tons grading 260 parts per million U3O8 for a contained metal total of 9 million pounds of U3O8.

Dark Star said it won’t be treating the historical resource as current.

Similarly, Khan West encompasses a mining license and an exclusive prospecting license. Geological characteristics of the Khan West site reportedly mirror those of Rössing, featuring uranium-anomalous granites within a prominent structural deformation corridor. The mining license includes a license to extract uranium.

For Dark Star, the deal represents a bolstering of its uranium portfolio. In early April, the company announced plans to acquire the Bleasdell Lake uranium project in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada, which has historical uranium resources.

Later in the month, the company entered into a definitive mineral purchase agreement for the property.

Critical One’s pivot away from uranium is part of a broader refocus on critical minerals with promising market dynamics.

The Howells Lake antimony-gold project offers exposure to antimony, an increasingly valuable critical mineral that is tied to clean energy and advanced technology sectors, including the defense industry.

Duane Parnham, executive chair and CEO, emphasized the project’s potential for “higher growth potential and improved returns,” noting the added gold exploration upside amid record-high gold prices.

“The project provides gold exploration upside in a period when the yellow metal’s value is reaching all-time market highs,” Parnham said. To support its refocused strategy, Critical One simultaneously announced a non-brokered private placement financing, saying it is targeting gross proceeds of up to C$1 million.

Parnham highlighted insider participation in the financing, stating that the “ongoing support underscores management’s confidence in the value and potential of the Howells Lake antimony-gold project.”

Proceeds will be used for data processing, geophysics, permitting, drilling and other activities related to advancing Howells Lake, as well as strengthening the company’s financial position and supporting general working capital.

Jp Cortez, executive director at the Sound Money Defense League, breaks down what to know about the Gold Reserve Transparency Act, a measure to audit the gold in Fort Knox and other places where America’s gold is purportedly stored.

‘A space on X will not suffice, and is not a substitute for a true assay, a true audit of every single transaction that that gold was involved in,’ he said.

The Trump administration is fast tracking development of Dateline Resources’ (ASX:DTR,OTC Pink:DTREF) Colosseum rare earths project in California as part of its push to boost domestic critical minerals supply.

In a recent interview, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum highlighted the project as a priority under the government’s critical minerals strategy, stating that the US has ‘to get back in the game in a serious way around critical minerals.”

For his part, US President Donald Trump has called the project ‘America’s second rare earths mine.” He first announced Colosseum’s approval in an April 21 Truth Social post, listing it as a weekly achievement.

The Colosseum project sits in the Walker Lane Trend in East San Bernardino County, California, only 10 kilometers north of MP Materials’ (NYSE:MP) Mountain Pass mine, the only operating rare earths mine in the US.

Mountain Pass is also the highest-grade rare earths mine in the world.

According to Burgum, the endorsement from the government stems from the US’ push to restart domestic rare earths production and reduce dependence on other countries such as China.

Currently, China remains the biggest rare earths producer by far, producing 270,000 metric tons in 2024. That’s about 70 percent of the total production for the year, which was recorded at 390,000 metric tons.

The ongoing trade war has created tensions between the US and China, raising questions about supply chain security.

Some relief was seen last week — the BBC reported that China has agreed to supply US companies with magnets and rare earths as part of Trump’s deal with Xi Jinping, president of China. In return, the US said it will walk back its threats to revoke the visas of Chinese nationals at US colleges and universities.

Trump addressed the arrangement via a June 11 Truth Social update, stating that he has “always been good” with including Chinese students in colleges and universities.

Dateline has a green light to explore and extract rare earths from Colosseum, as well as gold.

“We have seen growing interest out of the US, particularly after recent milestones at Colosseum,” the Sydney Morning Herald quotes Dateline Managing Director Stephen Baghdadi as saying.

Dateline said in May that it had started the process to uplist to the OTCQB. Should the OTCQB listing go through, the company will still continue to meet its ASX disclosure requirements.

The same month, the company said it had begun preparations for a rare earths-focused drill program at Colosseum, and would complete it alongside a planned gold feasibility study for the site.

President Donald Trump continues to enjoy income streams from scores of luxury properties and business ventures, many of which are worth tens of millions of dollars, according to a financial disclosure form filed late Friday.

Released by the Office of Government Ethics, Trump’s 2025 financial disclosure spans 234 pages in all, including 145 pages of stock and bond investments. It is dated Friday with Trump’s signature.

One of the largest sources of income is the $57,355,532 he received from his ownership stake in World Liberty Financial, the cryptocurrency platform launched last year. The form shows that World Liberty’s sales of digital tokens have been highly lucrative for Trump and his family. Trump’s three sons, Donald Jr., Eric and Barron, are listed on the company’s website as co-founders of the firm.

Separately, Trump’s meme coin, known on crypto markets simply as $TRUMP, was not released until January and is therefore not subject to the disclosure requirements for this form, which covered calendar year 2024.

It was a lucrative year for Trump when it came to royalty payments for the various goods that are sold featuring his name and likeness.

Among the royalty payments:

The filing also includes a listing of liabilities, including at least $15,000 on an American Express credit card and payments due to E. Jean Carroll, the woman who successfully sued Trump over sexual abuse and defamation, though he is still seeking to appeal the decision.

The rest of the document includes dozens of pages of lengthy footnotes about his various assets.

The form was filed to comply with federal requirements for executive branch office holders. By comparison, the form former President Joe Biden filed in 2024 was 11 pages and consisted largely of conventional sources of income like bank and retirement accounts, while Kamala Harris’ was 15 pages.

Many of Trump’s key assets are held in a revocable trust overseen by Donald Trump Jr., his eldest son. They include more than 100,000 shares of Trump Media and Technology Group, the social media company that went public in 2024. Trump is the largest shareholder, and his nearly 53% is worth billions of dollars. Those holdings were still disclosed in the form.
