Barkley set the record in style — passing Eagles Hall of Famers Wilbert Montgomery and record holder LeSean McCoy in a single game — as he rushed for 124 yards to push his season total to 1,623 in a 22-16 victory over Carolina. The total was enough for Barkley to top McCoy’s 1,607 yards in 2013. Barkley also maintained his pace to break Eric Dickerson’s NFL single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards, set in 1984 with the Los Angeles Rams. At his pace, Barkley should that reach milestone, even possibly ahead of the 17th game of the season that Dickerson and the NFL did not have in 1984. Barkley captioned an Instagram post “Thankful” with a checked box next to “franchise single-season rushing yards record.” People are also reading... Here’s a look at what’s ahead for Barkley and his chances of catching Dickerson: Where does Barkley stand? Barkley leads the NFL in rushing with 1,623 yards, a hefty 216 yards ahead of Baltimore's Derrick Henry at 1,407 (though the Ravens had a bye Sunday). He is averaging 124.8 yards per game. At that pace, and with one more game to play than Dickerson had, he would become the top single-season rusher in NFL history. He needs 483 yards over the final four games to top Dickerson’s 40-year-old record. Barkley is on pace for 2,122 yards, which would put him just 17 yards beyond Dickerson's 2,105 total. What's the schedule like? Just on the quality of defenses alone, Barkley faces little pushback down the stretch. He feasted against a Panthers defense that was one of the worst against the run in the NFL. Barkley averaged 6.2 yards on 20 carries against Carolina and could easily expect to match that pace over at least three of the next four games. The Steelers come to Philadelphia on Sunday and should provide the stiffest test to Barkley in his record pursuit. Pittsburgh is fourth in the NFL in run defense. After the Steelers, Barkley could run wild. The Eagles' final three opponents — Washington, Dallas and the Giants — all rank near the bottom of the league against the run. Can Barkley stay healthy? Barkley has been a workhorse this season and worked a heavy load in New York — when he was healthy. Barkley only twice played in 16 games with the Giants. He played in 14 games last season, missing three because of a high ankle sprain. He ran for 962 yards and six touchdowns. He was limited to two games in 2020 after he suffered a torn ACL. Barkley has played through minor injuries this season and proved his durability by leading the NFL with 266 carries. But injuries might not be his only potential problem. The Eagles' nine-game winning streak has them sitting as the No. 2 seed in the NFC. Should they clinch that spot early, the final game against New York could be meaningless and coach Nick Sirianni could have to decide if Barkley goes for the mark or sits out ahead of the playoffs.

Plane passenger sparks heated debate after making mid-flight matcha latte

NEW YORK (AP) — A slide for market superstar Nvidia on Monday knocked Wall Street off its big rally and helped drag U.S. stock indexes down from their records. The S&P 500 fell 0.6%, coming off its 57th all-time high of the year so far. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 240 points, or 0.5%, and the Nasdaq composite pulled back 0.6% from its own record.

2025 highlights include the benefits of increased throughput to 5,000 tpd and improved gold recoveries and an exploration program with 80,000 metres of drilling VANCOUVER, BC , Dec. 9, 2024 /CNW/ - Lundin Gold Inc. LUG (Nasdaq Stockholm: LUG) LUGDF ("Lundin Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its 2025 guidance and three-year outlook for its 100% owned Fruta del Norte ("FDN") gold mine in southeast Ecuador . All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. View PDF 2025 Guidance Highlights: Gold production is estimated between 475,000 to 525,000 ounces ("oz"). Cash operating costs 1 and all-in sustaining costs 1 ("AISC") are expected to range between $730 to $790 and $935 to $995 per oz of gold sold 2 , respectively. Total sustaining capital in 2025 is estimated at $75 to $85 million which includes 15,000 metres planned to be drilled under the resource conversion program. In light of exploration success, the Company's near-mine exploration program's footprint is being expanded to incorporate additional land which was previously considered part of the regional program. 65,000 metres is planned to be drilled (see Figure 1). The regional exploration program will broaden with a new three-year greenfield strategy over the Company's unexplored land package of over 50,000 hectares. In its first year the focus will consist of surface exploration and airborne surveys to identify new targets for exploration drilling in 2026. Lundin Gold anticipates continuing to declare quarterly dividends of $0.20 per share. The Company's guidance for the year 2025 is provided in the table below. 2025 Gold Production (oz) 475,000 – 525,000 Mill Throughput (tpd) 5,000 Head Grade (g/t Au) 9.2 Average Mill Recovery (%) 90 % Sustaining Capital ($ million) 75 – 85 Cash operating cost 1 ($/oz sold) 2 730 – 790 AISC 1 ($/oz sold) 2 935 – 995 Near-mine Exploration Program ($ million) 32 Regional Exploration Program ($ million) 8 1 See Non-GAAP Financial Measures section. 2 Gold/silver price per oz assumptions are $2,500/$31.00, respectively. Ron Hochstein , President and CEO commented, "2025 will be another exciting year for Lundin Gold . The commissioning of the plant expansion project is going well, which is expected to increase plant throughput to 5,000 tonnes per day and to improve gold recovery. With investments in the mine including the new dispatch system, and based on the new mill configuration, we have already identified opportunities to further debottleneck and increase average throughput starting in 2026 to 5,500 tonnes per day. By maximizing the potential of FDN through our operational excellence program to increase efficiencies and reduce costs combined with a strong gold price environment, we are confident in our ability to continue to generate meaningful free cash flow. In parallel, we will continue our ambitious exploration program, building on the success of our 2024 program, which, to date, was the largest ever conducted on our extensive, highly prospective land package." The Company's outlook for production, mill throughput, sustaining capital and AISC for the next three years is provided in the table below. 2025 2026 2027 Gold Production (oz) 475,000 - 525,000 475,000 - 525,000 475,000 - 525,000 Mill Throughput (tpd) 5,000 5,500 5,500 Sustaining Capital ($ million) 75 - 85 75 - 90 70 - 85 Cash operating cost ($/oz sold) 1, 2 730 - 790 750 - 810 750 - 810 AISC ($/oz sold) 1, 2 935 - 995 950 - 1,020 925 - 995 2025 Guidance and 2025-2027 Outlook Gold production at FDN for 2025 is estimated to be between 475,000 to 525,000 oz based on an average throughput rate of 5,000 tonnes per day ("tpd"). Head grade is estimated to average 9.2 g/t, with fluctuations expected during the year as different sections of the ore body are mined. Grades are slightly lower relative to 2024, as a result of continued extension of the mine life at FDN and adjustments to the mine sequence. Average mill recovery for the year is estimated at 90%. Several opportunities have been identified to further debottleneck operations and increase average throughput to 5,500 tonnes per day starting in 2026. Mine operations will benefit from increased mine equipment availability and utilization resulting from the new underground workshop and dispatch system. At the processing plant the debottlenecking opportunities can be implemented with minimal cost as they are optimizations to the new configuration of the process plant. Cash operating costs 1 are estimated to range between $730 and $790 per oz of gold sold 2 in 2025. AISC 1 for 2025 is expected to range between $935 and $995 per oz of gold sold 2 and to fluctuate quarterly based on sustaining capital activities. Unit costs are anticipated to be higher compared to 2024 and are primarily attributable to increased royalties and employee profit sharing resulting from the increase in the assumed gold price from $1,900 /oz to $2,500 /oz, and an increase in sustaining capital expenditures. Gold production and sales are expected to be backend weighted in 2025 as mill throughput is anticipated to increase over the year as the plant expansion project is fully commissioned. Mill head grade is also expected to improve as the year progresses due to mine sequencing. This translates to lower anticipated unit costs in the second half of the year relative to the first half. 1 See Non-GAAP Financial Measures section. 2 Gold/silver price per oz assumptions for the three years are $2,500/$31.00, respectively. Total sustaining capital in 2025 is estimated at $75 to $85 million and includes costs related to the expansion of the tailings storage facility (fifth raise), improvements to industrial and potable water supply and distribution, the next phase of upgrades to the waste water treatment plants, resource conversion drilling, mobile equipment rebuilds or replacement and underground development and improvements of the South Portal. In addition, the estimate includes the remaining costs to commission four additional diesel generators purchased in 2024 which will allow the FDN process plant to run slightly below capacity in the event of a power disruption from the national grid. Sustaining capital in 2026 has increased from previous guidance due to the impact of increased mineral reserves and tonnage, leading to adjustments to the maintenance and replacement schedule of the mobile equipment fleet, as well as a larger tailings storage facility design. This increase in sustaining capital, combined with the increase in the assumed gold price 1 , has resulted in an increase in AISC 2 per oz sold in 2026 compared to previous guidance. Consistent with previous years, the Company expects its free cash flow 2 during the second quarter of 2025 to be lower than other quarters due to the payment of annual profit sharing to the government and employees along with remaining income taxes owed. This variation is expected to be more pronounced in 2025 due to the Company's strong operating performance achieved so far in 2024 which has been further bolstered by high gold prices. 2025 Resource Conversion Program Based on the results of the 2024 conversion drilling program, the Company intends to release updated estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources for FDN early in 2025. A total of 15,000 metres of resource conversion drilling is anticipated in 2025. 2025 Exploration Programs Lundin Gold's near-mine exploration program's footprint is being expanded to incorporate additional land which was previously considered part of the regional program (see Figure 1). As part of the near-mine program a total of 65,000 metres of drilling is planned from surface and underground using 12 rigs at an estimated cost of $32 million . The program will focus on extending the mine life of FDN by exploring several advanced targets within and around the FDN system including but not limited to FDN, FDNS, FDN East, FDN North and the Bonza Sur deposit. The Company is currently drilling and evaluating the Bonza Sur deposit and anticipates publishing an initial resource by mid year 2025. The regional exploration program will focus on the unexplored large package of mineral concessions located on a highly prospective environment which hosts the Fruta del Norte deposit (see Figure 1). This will be the first year of a new three-year greenfield strategy to identify new areas for exploration drilling. The 2025 program includes a geophysical magnetic survey and a geochemical sampling program and is estimated to cost $8 million . 1 Gold/silver price per oz assumptions for the three years are $2,500/$31.00, respectively. 2 See Non-GAAP Financial Measures section. Figure 1: Map showing expanded near-mine exploration program and 1 st year focus of new three year regional exploration program Dividend Consistent with the Company's dividend policy, Lundin Gold anticipates continuing to pay quarterly dividends of $0.20 per share, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.
