Ontario’s Conservative provincial government is retreating from elements of its controversial Bill 5 following weeks of intense pressure from First Nations leaders.

They have accused Premier Doug Ford’s administration of violating its constitutional duty to consult Indigenous communities on critical minerals development in the province’s far north.

In a move aimed at quelling growing unrest, Ford’s office confirmed on Wednesday (May 28) that it will introduce an amendment that explicitly incorporates the constitutional duty to consult into the bill, a key demand from Indigenous leaders who have denounced the legislation as a sweeping overreach that sidelines their rights.

“Regulations under this Act shall be made in a manner consistent with the recognition and affirmation of existing Aboriginal and treaty rights … including the duty to consult,” reads the proposed amendment, as reported by CBC.

The about-face comes amid an intensifying confrontation over the province’s push to fast track mining development in the mineral-rich Ring of Fire region, located in the James Bay lowlands.

Slated to become the first of several “special economic zones” — areas exempt from certain provincial laws and regulations — it has instead become the flashpoint for a broader reckoning over resource extraction in Canada.

Government scrambles to contain fallout

First Nations leaders, including the Chiefs of Ontario, have demanded the bill be scrapped entirely, arguing the government has already breached its legal obligation to engage in meaningful consultation from the outset.

Ontario Regional Chief Abram Benedict, who met privately with Ford last week, described the discussions as frank, but necessary. That meeting, according to the provincial government, catalyzed a round of renewed engagement, with Greg Rickford, minister of Indigenous affairs and Stephen Lecce, minister of energy and mines, pledging not to move forward with the Ring of Fire designation without further consultation.

“We will not use the authorities like a special economic zone until we’ve meaningfully consulted,” Lecce said.

Rickford added, “We are going to enunciate explicitly in each one that the duty to consult is there and it will be upheld to the highest standards. The aim is to make First Nations partners.”

Officially titled the ‘Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act’, Bill 5 was unveiled at the Toronto Stock Exchange in April, with Ford and Lecce framing it as a decisive response to geopolitical tensions.

They also positioned it as a means of asserting control over Canada’s critical mineral resources.

“With President Trump taking direct aim at our economy, it cannot be business as usual,” Ford said at the time, referencing the US push to prioritize domestic mineral supply chains.

The bill grants the province sweeping new powers to revoke mining claims, restrict foreign ownership — particularly from “hostile regimes” — and override environmental and regulatory hurdles.

It also proposes replacing Ontario’s Endangered Species Act with a narrower Species Conservation Act, a change that environmentalists warn could spell extinction for at-risk wildlife.

“The definition of habitat is so narrow that what it means is less habitat than the species has now,” Laura Bowman of Ecojustice told CBC when the bill was introduced. “And less habitat than the species has now, for a species already in decline, virtually ensures extirpation or extinction.”

US$3.1 billion budget boost targets Indigenous inclusion

Even as heated discourse unfolds with Ontario’s First Nations, the province unveiled last week a massive C$3.1 billion investment to supercharge the province’s mining and energy infrastructure.

The 2025 budget includes a tripling of the Indigenous Opportunities Financing Program, which has been expanded to support Indigenous participation across the mining, pipeline and energy sectors.

Minister of Finance Peter Bethlenfalvy emphasized that the goal is “unlocking the province’s critical mineral reserves” while placing Indigenous partnerships “at the forefront of the province’s resource development strategy.”

The program is designed to offer loan guarantees that enable Indigenous communities to secure equity stakes in major projects — a model that First Nations have long advocated for as a way to transform economic marginalization into opportunity.

National parallels in BC’s Bill 15 battle

Ontario’s retreat on consultation provisions follows similar tensions in BC, where Premier David Eby is facing backlash over Bill 15 — a legislative proposal that would allow cabinet to fast-track infrastructure and resource projects deemed of “provincial significance,” including critical minerals development.

Eby unveiled a broad vision this week to unlock billions in investments in Northwest BC, emphasizing partnerships with Indigenous communities and positioning mining as central to both economic recovery and climate transition.

But critics argue the rhetoric masks a legal and ethical failure.

“Trust has been broken between First Nations and the David Eby government,” Tsartlip First Nation Chief Don Tom said bluntly. Calling Eby a “snake oil salesman,” Tom accused the provincial government of undermining true consultation, while pushing legislation that could override Indigenous opposition.

Like Ontario’s Bill 5, BC’s Bill 15 is being slammed as a dangerous precedent that gives the government outsized power to override environmental protections and community consent.

Both the BC and Ontario governments are facing similar dilemmas on the acceleration of critical minerals development to meet global demand while tempering their legal and moral obligations to stakeholders.

The minerals — including nickel, lithium and rare earth elements — are essential to the green energy transition, forming key components of batteries, solar panels, and electric vehicles.

Still, First Nations are demanding that any progress must start not only with a recognition of their economic potential, but of their right to self-determination and free, prior and informed consent.

US President Donald Trump scored a temporary reprieve in his ongoing trade war efforts after a federal appeals court stayed a lower court’s decision that struck down most of his global tariffs.

The Thursday (May 29) decision allows the administration’s controversial import duties to remain in place for now.

The decision by the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit provides breathing room for Trump and his trade team as they prepare a full appeal, following a blistering Wednesday (May 28) night ruling by the US Court of International Trade that invalidated nearly all of the Trump-imposed tariffs not tied to national security.

The trade court found Trump overstepped under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, saying it “does not confer such unbounded authority” to enact sweeping economic penalties without congressional oversight.

The decision jeopardized key components of Trump’s aggressive tariff program — including a blanket 10 percent import tax and recent “reciprocal tariffs” targeting countries like China, Canada, Mexico and members of the European Union.

But for now, the tariffs will remain in effect. The appellate court granted the Trump administration’s request to pause enforcement of the trade court’s order “until further notice while this court considers the motions papers.”

The next hearing is set for June 5.

White House reacts swiftly, blasts judicial overreach

Trump administration officials reacted with fury to the trade court’s initial decision, describing it as an affront to executive authority in foreign policy and economic matters.

“The political branches, not courts, make foreign policy and chart economic policy,” the White House said in its appeal filing. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt expressed similar concerns on Thursday, saying:

“America cannot function if President Trump, or any other president for that matter, has their sensitive diplomatic or trade negotiations railroaded by activist judges.”

Trump himself took to social media on Thursday morning to vent, writing: “Hopefully, the Supreme Court will reverse this horrible, Country threatening decision, QUICKLY and DECISIVELY.”

He later added: “This would completely destroy Presidential Power — The Presidency would never be the same!”

Peter Navarro, Trump’s top trade advisor, also signaled that the administration was already exploring alternatives, stating that even if it lost the battle in the Supreme Court, it “will do it another way.”

The Wednesday judgment had required the White House to make changes within 10 days.

The administration responded by notifying both the trade court and the appellate court of its intent to challenge the ruling all the way to the Supreme Court, if necessary.

“TACO trade” meme gains steam as Trump backpedals

Adding to the storm surrounding the tariffs is growing traction of the term “TACO trade” — a satirical acronym coined by Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong that stands for “Trump Always Chickens Out.”

The phrase has caught fire on Wall Street and social media, referring to Trump’s habit of threatening steep tariffs, only to roll them back amid market backlash or diplomatic pressure.

The phenomenon was on full display last month, when Trump announced what he called “Liberation Day,” unveiling sweeping tariffs as high as 145 percent on imports from nearly every major trading partner.

Within a week, those tariffs were scaled down to a baseline 10 percent. Duties on Chinese goods were first reduced to 30 percent and then to 10 percent, while deadlines for tariffs on European goods were postponed.

On Wednesday, visibly irritated by the nickname, Trump lashed out at a reporter who asked about the “TACO trade” label. “Oh, I chicken out. Isn’t that nice? I’ve never heard that,” Trump said, bristling at the question.

“You call that chickening out? It’s called negotiation,” he added.

“Six months ago, this country was stone cold dead. We had a dead country. We had a country that people didn’t think was going to survive. And you ask a nasty question like that,’ Trump continued.

Despite his protests, “TACO trade” has become a viral symbol of his erratic approach to global commerce. California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked the administration after the trade court ruling, saying, “It’s raining tacos today.”

So far, the administration’s tariffs on steel, aluminum and cars remain untouched by the ruling.

Statistics Canada reported on Friday (May 30) that real gross domestic product (GDP) gained 0.5 percent during the first quarter of 2025. Even on a per capita basis, real GDP posted a strong 0.4 percent increase.

The agency primarily attributed the rise to a 1.6 percent increase in exports during the quarter. The higher export amounts were led by a 16.7 percent growth in passenger vehicle exports and a 12 percent rise in industrial machinery, equipment and parts exports, both of which were driven higher in response to imposed and threatened tariffs from the United States.

On a monthly basis, the GDP registered a 0.1 percent gain in March, following a 0.2 percent contraction in February. The most significant contributor to the rise came from the resource sector, which posted a 2.2 percent increase, with oil and gas gaining 2 percent.

When it came to mining, metal ore mining rose 1.7 percent overall. Copper, nickel, lead and zinc recorded a 2.4 percent gain, while the other metal mining category increased by 16.9 percent. However, a 3.1 percent decline in gold and silver mining hindered overall growth across the subsector.

South of the border, the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released its second estimate for first quarter GDP on Thursday (May 29). Its figures indicated that GDP contracted 0.2 percent in the first three months of the year, down significantly from a 2.4 percent gain in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The Bureau attributed the decline to an increase in imports and a decrease in government spending. However, the agency also noted that upturns in investment and exports partially offset the fall during the quarter.

On Friday, the BEA released April’s personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index. The data shows that on an annual basis, all items PCE growth had further slowed to 2.1 percent compared to the 2.3 percent recorded in March. PCE less the volatile food and energy categories also slowed on an annual basis, up 2.5 percent in April compared to 2.7 percent in March.

The PCE is the preferred inflationary measure used by the US Federal Reserve to set its benchmark interest rate, the Federal Funds Rate. The slowing pace is currently in line with the central bank’s 2 percent target goal. Still, with uncertainty surrounding tariffs and US economic policy, most analysts expect the Fed to maintain the rate at the current 4.25 to 4.5 percent range when it next meets on June 18 and 19.

Markets and commodities react

In Canada, major indexes were mixed at the end of the week.

The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) gained 0.9 percent during the week to close at 26,175.05 on Friday. However, the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (INDEXTSI:JX) fell 0.02 percent to 694.40 and the CSE Composite Index (CSE:CSECOMP) shed 3.78 percent to 115.01.

US equities were in positive territory this week, with the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:INX) gaining 2.24 percent to close at 5,911.68, the Nasdaq-100 (INDEXNASDAQ:NDX) rising 2.57 percent to 21,340.99 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) adding 1.79 percent to 42,270.08.

The gold price was flat this week, posting a loss of just 0.04 percent, to close Friday at US$3,293.21. The silver price was also marginally down, shedding 0.54 percent during the period to US$32.87.

In base metals, the COMEX copper price fell 3.47 percent over the week to US$4.72 per pound, pulling back from its gains seen late last week. Meanwhile, the S&P GSCI (INDEXSP:SPGSCI) posted a decline of 1.57 percent to close at 524.66.

The company has been working to expand its gold resource and explore for copper at greater depths than previous exploration.

While Feni Island has been its primary focus, Adyton has also been working to advance its Fergusson Island project.

The project consists of two advanced exploration licenses for the Wapolu and Gameta targets, which host a combined indicated resource of 173,000 ounces of gold and an inferred resource of 540,000 ounces of gold. The site also hosts a past-producing mine, which was abandoned in the 1990s.

On March 12, Adyton reported that a team from the Papua New Guinea Mineral Resource Authority had visited the Fergusson Island site to familiarize themselves with the project and to provide an approval process for the restart of the mine.

The most recent news from Adyton came on Wednesday (May 28), when it released its first quarter management discussion and analysis. In the report, the company provided a summary of its activities during the first quarter and demonstrated an increase in its balance sheet compared to the previous quarter.

2. Sterling Metals (TSXV:SAG)

Weekly gain: 80.77 percent
Market cap: C$15.15 million
Share price: C$0.47

Sterling Metals is an exploration company working to advance a trio of projects in Canada.

Over the past year, its primary focus has been on exploration at its brownfield Soo copper project in Ontario, which it recently renamed from Copper Road. The 25,000 hectare property hosts two past-producing copper mines and has the potential for larger intrusion-related copper mineralization.

On January 15, Sterling announced results from a 3D induced polarization and resistivity survey that covered an area of 5 kilometers by 3 kilometers and revealed multiple high-priority drill-ready targets. The company intends to use the survey results, along with historical exploration, to inform a drill program at the site.

The company’s other two projects are located in Newfoundland and Labrador. Adeline is a 297 square kilometer district-scale property with sediment-hosted copper and silver mineralization along 44 kilometers of the strike, and Sail Pond is a silver, copper, lead and zinc project that hosts a 16 kilometer long linear soil anomaly and has seen 16,000 meters of drilling.

On Thursday, Sterling announced that the first of four diamond drill holes from the initial drill program at Soo ‘demonstrated a continuous, bulk-tonnage copper-molybdenum-silver-gold target, called the GFP Porphyry.’ The company highlighted a broad, near-surface zone grading 0.28 percent copper equivalent over a length of 482.8 meters, which included an intersection of 0.56 percent copper equivalent over the first 75.2 meters.

3. Grid Battery Metals (TSXV:CELL)

Weekly gain: 58.33 percent
Market cap: C$23.19 million
Share price: C$0.095

Grid Battery Metals is a North America battery metals company with a portfolio of lithium projects in Nevada, US, including the Clayton Valley lithium project. The company also recently acquired the Grid copper-gold project in North-central British Columbia, Canada.

The project consists of 17 claims covering a total land package of 27,525 hectares in the Omineca Mining Division near Fort St. James. Grid announced on March 17 that it had completed the acquisition of the property from former Grid subsidiary AC/DC Battery Metals (TSXV:ACDC) in exchange for 5 million shares in Grid at C$0.05 per share as well as a C$48,172.15 payment for staking costs.

The property has seen minimal exploration, but a technical report for the site included a mineral resource estimate for the neighboring Kwanika-Stardust project owned by Northwest Copper (TSXV:NWST,OTC Pink:NWCCF).

The Kwanika Central Zone hosts measured and indicated resources of 385.7 million pounds of copper, 532,500 ounces of gold and 1.97 million ounces of silver from the open pit area, as well as 410.6 million pounds of copper, 738,000 ounces of gold and 1.9 million ounces of silver from the underground portion.

Shares in Grid saw gains this week, but the company’s most recent project-related news came on May 20, when it announced it had engaged with Hardline Exploration to begin to begin work at the property.

4. EMP Metals (CSE:EMPS)

Weekly gain: 54.17 percent
Market cap: C$40.79 million
Share price: C$0.37

EMP Metals is a lithium exploration and development company working to advance its EMP direct lithium extraction project in Saskatchewan, Canada. The project is composed of three prospective lithium brine properties covering an area of 81,000 hectares.

A February 2024 preliminary economic assessment for the lithium brines in the Viewfield area of Southern Saskatchewan suggests a resource of 130,056 metric tons of lithium in place from a total brine volume of 1.06 billion cubic meters.

The economics of the project indicate an after-tax net present value at a discount rate of 8 percent of C$1.44 billion with an internal rate of return of 45.1 percent over a payout period of 2.4 years.

Shares in EMP gained this past week after it announced on Thursday it entered into a deal with Saltwork Technologies to develop, build and operate a lithium refining demonstration plant at the Viewfield property.

Once complete, the plant will process 10 cubic meters per day of lithium brine into concentrated lithium chloride. Additionally, Saltworks will upgrade its lithium conversion plant in Richmond, British Columbia, to continuously process lithium chloride into lithium carbonate.

FAQs for Canadian mining stocks

What is the difference between the TSX and TSXV?

The TSX, or Toronto Stock Exchange, is used by senior companies with larger market caps, and the TSXV, or TSX Venture Exchange, is used by smaller-cap companies. Companies listed on the TSXV can graduate to the senior exchange.

How many mining companies are listed on the TSX and TSXV?

As of February 2025, there were 1,572 companies listed on the TSXV, 905 of which were mining companies. Comparatively, the TSX was home to 1,859 companies, with 181 of those being mining companies.

Together the TSX and TSXV host around 40 percent of the world’s public mining companies.

How much does it cost to list on the TSXV?

There are a variety of different fees that companies must pay to list on the TSXV, and according to the exchange, they can vary based on the transaction’s nature and complexity. The listing fee alone will most likely cost between C$10,000 to C$70,000. Accounting and auditing fees could rack up between C$25,000 and C$100,000, while legal fees are expected to be over C$75,000 and an underwriters’ commission may hit up to 12 percent.

The exchange lists a handful of other fees and expenses companies can expect, including but not limited to security commission and transfer agency fees, investor relations costs and director and officer liability insurance.

These are all just for the initial listing, of course. There are ongoing expenses once companies are trading, such as sustaining fees and additional listing fees, plus the costs associated with filing regular reports.

How do you trade on the TSXV?

Investors can trade on the TSXV the way they would trade stocks on any exchange. This means they can use a stock broker or an individual investment account to buy and sell shares of TSXV-listed companies during the exchange’s trading hours.

NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) shares rose over 5 percent to hit US$142.50 on Thursday (May 29), extending a powerful rally that reflects Wall Street’s optimism in the chipmaker’s long-term trajectory

The company’s positive performance came despite a bruising blow from US export restrictions to China.

The semiconductor giant, seen by many industry experts as the backbone of the global artificial intelligence (AI) boom, reported better-than-expected financial results for its first fiscal quarter of 2026 on Wednesday (May 28), allaying fears that geopolitical tensions and tighter trade controls could derail its momentum.

In the face of a projected US$8 billion revenue hit from the export ban on China and a US$4.5 billion writedown on unsold inventory, investors appeared to focus on NVIDIA’s dominant position in the fast-expanding AI market.

“There is one chip in the world fueling the AI Revolution and it’s Nvidia,” wrote Dan Ives, a tech analyst at Wedbush Securities. “That narrative is clear from these results and the positive commentary from Jensen.”

NVIDIA posted quarterly revenues of US$44.1 billion, beating consensus analyst estimates of US$43.3 billion. That’s also a staggering 69 percent increase from the US$26 billion reported in the same quarter last year.

The company’s flagship data center division, which supplies AI chips to major clients like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), reported US$39.1 billion in sales.

Although that’s a slight miss from Wall Street’s US$39.2 billion forecast, it’s still up from US$22.5 billion last year.

“Our breakthrough Blackwell NVL72 AI supercomputer — a ‘thinking machine’ designed for reasoning — is now in full-scale production across system makers and cloud service providers,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA.

“Global demand for NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure is incredibly strong. AI inference token generation has surged tenfold in just one year, and as AI agents become mainstream, the demand for AI computing will accelerate.”

Earlier this month, Huang traveled with US President Donald Trump to the Middle East, where the company reportedly secured orders for hundreds of thousands of chips from Saudi Arabia.

Yet NVIDIA’s latest results also expose the mounting risks the firm faces as global trade policy tightens.

In recent months, Washington has sharply escalated restrictions on semiconductor exports to China, targeting chips like NVIDIA’s H20 — a China-specific product designed to comply with US rules. The US Department of Commerce has banned shipments of these chips to Chinese firms, citing concerns about potential military applications.

The move forced NVIDIA to write off US$4.5 billion in H20 inventory, and the company estimates a US$2.5 billion revenue loss in the current quarter as a result. Huang placed the broader impact of the China restrictions at US$15 billion.

“The US$50 billion China market is effectively closed to US industry,” he said in an interview. “We are exploring limited ways to compete, but Hopper is no longer an option. China’s AI moves on with or without US chips.”

While NVIDIA has previously indicated that it could redesign chips to meet evolving US export rules, Huang has become increasingly vocal in his criticism of Washington’s policy direction. Speaking to reporters after NVIDIA’s earnings call, he described the restrictions as a “failure” that will ultimately hurt American companies more than Chinese rivals.

The pressure on NVIDIA intensified further this week, as the Financial Times reported that Trump has instructed US suppliers of chip-design software to halt sales to Chinese firms.

Nonetheless, NVIDIA’s strong earnings, coupled with a federal court ruling blocking some of Trump’s proposed tariffs, have reassured investors. AI-driven demand appears robust enough to offset near-term geopolitical volatility.

For now, the markets have spoken — and they’re betting big on NVIDIA’s future.

“Countries around the world are recognizing AI as essential infrastructure — just like electricity and the internet — and NVIDIA stands at the center of this profound transformation,” Huang emphasized post-earnings.

NVIDIA’s share price spike this week put it on track for its highest close since January, and triggered a broader rally across the semiconductor sector.

World Boxing, the new organization slated to run the boxing events at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, announced Friday it had enacted a mandatory sex-testing policy with Algerian gold medalist Imane Khelif slated to return to competition next week at the Eindhoven Box Cup in the Netherlands. 

Khelif became one of the main storylines of last summer’s Paris Games when the International Boxing Association alleged she had been disqualified from an event in March 2023 because she did not pass a chromosome-based gender verification test.

The International Olympic Committee, which stripped the IBA of its governing body status after a corruption investigation, questioned the credibility of the IBA’s testing process and allowed Khelif to compete in the female category on the basis of being listed as a female on her Algerian passport.  

Amid several days of international controversy, the 26-year-old Khelif won the gold medal in the welterweight division and said afterward: “I am a woman like any other woman. I was born a woman, I have lived as a woman, I compete as a woman. There is no doubt about that.”

Controversy bubbled up again in recent days when Khelif was entered in Eindhoven, prompting World Boxing’s rush to introduce sex testing under “special or emergency circumstances,” even as the organization acknowledged that its “Sex, Age and Weight” policies were still in development. 

“In light of plans to introduce this policy and the particular circumstances surrounding some boxers that competed at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, World Boxing has written to the Algerian Boxing Federation to inform it that Imane Khelif will not be allowed to participate in the female category at the Eindhoven Box Cup or any World Boxing event until Imane Khelif undergoes sex testing,’ according to the release.

Last fall, the French publication Le Correspondant published what it claimed was a leaked 2023 medical report on Khelif showing that she was born with a rare genetic trait called 5-Alpha reductase type 2 deficiency, which is essentially an intersex condition or so-called difference in sexual development that showed in the presence of XY chromosomes, testosterone levels higher than the typical woman and internal testes.

Though some individual sport governing bodies like World Aquatics and World Athletics have developed participation policies on issues like transgender athletes and athletes with DSDs, the IOC stopped mandatory chromosome testing prior to the 2000 Olympics. That 25-year-old policy change was made at the urging of scientists and geneticists who did not endorse the so-called cheek swab method as precise enough to portray a full biological picture, given the vast array of mutations and conditions that could cause chromosomal anomalies without conferring an obvious or problematic competitive advantage.

The IOC cited this history, as well as the IBA’s opaque testing process and lack of due process afforded to Khelif, in explaining why she was allowed to compete in Paris. 

Khelif had competed on the international boxing circuit for years before the 2024 Olympics without controversy, including at the Tokyo Games in 2021, where she lost in the quarterfinals. 

World Boxing’s announcement Friday said that national federations would be responsible for testing and to confirm the sex of their boxer, and that failure to do so could lead to sanctions against the country and the athlete. The organization also says it reserves the right to do its own testing to confirm certification. 

“Where test results for boxers that want to compete in the female category reveal Y chromosome genetic material and a potential DSD, the initial screenings will be referred to independent clinical specialists for genetic screening, hormonal profiles, anatomical examination or other valuation of endocrine profiles by medical specialists.” 

Though World Boxing says an appeals process will be available to boxers who fail chromosome testing, it’s unclear whether it will include some type of policy like World Athletics, which allows track and field athletes with DSDs to compete in the female category if their testosterone is lowered below 2.5 nanamoles per liter for at least six months.

On May 29, both Oregon and Ole Miss began their respective journeys in the Women’s College World Series with national championship dreams firmly intact.

Just over a day later, one of them has exited the tournament, with their season abruptly over.

Behind three hits from Kai Luschar, two RBIs from Dezianna Patmon and 9 1/3 innings of work from Lyndsey Grein, the Ducks defeated the Rebels 6-5 late Friday night in 10 innings in an elimination game at the WCWS at Devon Park in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Oregon will play again Sunday against the loser of Saturday’s game between No. 2 Oklahoma and No. 6 Texas, last year’s WCWS championship series participants.

With losses to Texas Tech and now Oregon, Ole Miss has been bounced from the double-elimination tournament. The Rebels, who knocked off No. 4 Arkansas in the super regional round, were the lone unranked team in the event.

They didn’t go down without a fight, though. Ole Miss rallied to score three runs in the top of the seventh inning to tie the game, a spurt capped off by a two-run single from Jamie Mackay.

But in the bottom of the 10th inning, with the bases loaded with one out, Kedre Luschar drew a walk, bringing home Presley Lawton from third base for a long-awaited winning run. With the win, the Ducks moved to 9-0 in games after a loss this season and improved the record of teams with leads of at least three runs entering the seventh inning at the WCWS since 2000 to 164-2.

Here’s a look at the score, updates and highlights from Oregon’s marathon win against Ole Miss:

Oregon vs Ole Miss softball updates

Final: Oregon 6, Ole Miss 5

After nearly four hours, a winner has emerged.

With the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the 10th inning, Kedre Luschar is walked by Aliyah Binford, bringing the winning run across the plate for Oregon.

The Ducks’ national championship dreams remain alive while the Rebels’ season comes to an end.

Ole Miss leaves two stranded

A little more action in the top of the 10th inning than any of its immediate predecessors, but ultimately, the result’s the same. Ole Miss gets runners on first and second with two outs, but Lair Beautae grounds into a fielder’s choice to end the threat.

Oregon, Ole Miss head to the 10th inning

Three up and three down for Oregon, which is off to the 10th inning against Ole Miss. Not sure the Ducks would have believed that heading into the seventh, but alas, it’s where we find ourselves.

Ole Miss held scoreless

For the third-consecutive inning, Oregon will have a chance to break a deadlock and eliminate Ole Miss. Will the Ducks come through this time?

Oregon shut out, game moves to ninth inning

We’re off to the second extra inning, with Oregon also coming up empty at the plate. Ole Miss and Oregon remain tied 5-5. With it nearing midnight local time, are we due for a decisive play?

Ole Miss comes up empty in eighth inning

The Rebels’ offensive outburst from the seventh inning doesn’t extend to the eighth. Ole Miss gets a runner on first thanks to a base hit from Lair Beautae, but Aliyah Binford grounds into a fielder’s choice with two outs to send Oregon back to the plate with a chance to win it.

Oregon, Ole Miss going to extra innings

Oregon gets a runner on first, but not a whole lot else in the bottom of the seventh inning, with Stefini Ma’ake grounding out to end the inning for the Ducks and sending the game to extra innings.

Ole Miss ties it with seventh-inning rally

An Ole Miss team that had already earned three comeback wins during the NCAA tournament has saved its best for last.

Trailing 5-2 entering the seventh inning, the Rebels have tacked on three runs to tie the game. The biggest play came with runners on second and third with two outs. In her first at-bat of the WCWS, Jamie Mackay ripped a single into left field and brought in both runs to tie the game.

Oregon now heads into the bottom of the seventh with a chance to reclaim the lead and pick up the win.

Ole Miss down to its final three outs

Despite having an Oregon runner on each base with one out, Ole Miss is able to get out of the bottom of the sixth inning unscathed, getting the out at home on a grounder and then striking out Dezianna Patmon.

Rebels need a whole lot of offense in not a lot of time.

Ole Miss leaves two on base

The Rebels are now down to their final three outs after squandering a golden opportunity in the top of the sixth inning. After getting runners on first and second base with one out, Taylor Malvin stuck out and Jaden Pone popped out in foul territory to leave Ole Miss without a run.

Oregon goes back to Lyndsey Grein

Oregon is turning to its starting pitcher to be its closer. With one out, runners on first and second, and the tying run at the plate, the Ducks bring back in Lyndsey Grein, their starter who was pulled in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Oregon extends lead to three

Unsatisfied with the two runs they had already put on the board, the Ducks add a third before the fifth inning wraps up, with Kaylynn Jones singling up the middle to bring home Elyse Kresho.

It’s a 5-2 lead for Oregon, which is six outs away from eliminating Ole Miss.

Oregon pulls ahead, Ole Miss makes pitching changes

Oregon’s offense has come alive in the bottom of the fifth inning, with RBIs from Kedre Luschar and Rylee McCoy giving the Ducks a 4-2 lead.

After McCoy’s double to left center brought home Luschar, Ole Miss turns to its bullpen, bringing in Miali Guachino to relieve Brianna Lopez. Lopez finished the night with six hits, two walks and, for now, four earned runs across four innings. Guachino was quickly replaced, lasting only five pitches over 1/3 of an inning before being taken out in favor of Aliyah Binford.

Ole Miss evens it up

After a series of near-misses, Ole Miss comes through to tie the game.

Following Oregon’s pitching change, and after she was down on a 0-2 count, Persy Llamas rips a single to right field to bring home Jaden Pone from third base. Llamas has driven in both of the Rebels’ runs tonight.

We’ve got a 2-2 game heading into the bottom of the fifth inning.

Oregon makes pitching change

With the tying run on third base and with two outs in the top of the fifth inning, Oregon turns to its bullpen, inserting Staci Chambers to replace Lyndsey Grein. Grein gave up two hits, two walks and, for now, one run in 4 2/3 innings. Chambers has a 3.91 ERA this season.

Oregon retired in order

It’s a drama-free bottom half of the fourth inning for Ole Miss, which gets the Oregon batters out in order.

Ole Miss leaves three stranded

Oregon avoids what could have been a disastrous fourth inning, getting a groundout with two outs and the bases loaded. Ducks maintain a 2-1 lead heading into the bottom of the fourth.

Ole Miss gets out of jam, holds Oregon scoreless

What a gritty performance from Ole Miss pitcher Brianna Lopez, who was faced with runners on second and third and only one out, but strikes out Dezianna Patmon — who had a two-run single in the first inning — and gets Kaylynn Jones to pop out to end the threat.

Ole Miss comes up empty in third inning

The Rebels looked to pick up where they left off in the first inning, capitalizing on some defensive miscues from Oregon to get runners on first and second with no outs. From there, Lair Beautae grounded into a 5-3 double play and with a runner still at second, Aliyah Binford lined out to center field.

Oregon blanked in second inning

Ole Miss ends the second inning in style, with Kai Luschar hitting a ground ball to short with a runner on first. Luschar is one of Oregon’s fastest players, with 59 steals, but Rebels shortstop Angelina DeLeon fires a bullet to first base from her knees to just barely beat out Luschar. To the third inning we go.

Ole Miss shut out in second inning

After a chaotic first inning, Oregon establishes some sense of order, with pitcher Lyndsey Grein retiring the Ole Miss batters in order.

Oregon answers, pulls ahead

Oregon’s deficit only lasted for so long. Leadoff batter Kai Luschar reached first base on an error and with runners on second and third with two outs, Dezianna Patmon capitalized, roping a single into left field that brought both runs home.

The Ducks entered the day with the second-most runs of all Division I teams this season and in the first inning, they showed why.

Ole Miss strikes first

After getting shut out by Texas Tech in its first game in the 2025 Women’s College World Series, it only takes Ole Miss one inning to get on the board.

With a runner on third after some costly defensive mistakes from Oregon — an errant throw to first, a failed opportunity to finish off a run-down and a wild pitch — Persy Llamas rips a two-out, RBI single into left field to bring home the run and give the Rebels a 1-0 lead.

Of historical note: it’s Ole Miss’ first-ever run in the WCWS.

No. 7 Tennessee entered its Women’s College World Series elimination game against No. 3 Florida reeling from a walk-off loss to No. 2 Oklahoma.

Judging by how the Lady Vols dominated their SEC rivals Friday evening at Devon Park in Oklahoma City, they have since put that loss behind them. Karen Weekly’s squad not only beat the Gators to survive and advance in the WCWS, but also run ruled Tim Walton’s team 11-3 in five innings.

The Lady Vols had a program record-12 hits in the win, spurred by a seven-run first inning that immediately put a run rule victory into play. They jumped out to a 10-0 lead with three more combined runs in the second and third innings, putting all the pressure on Florida to respond and extend its season.

Credit to the Gators, who scored three runs in the fourth inning, but the offensive onslaught from Tennessee proved to be too much, as the Lady Vols scored the run it needed in the bottom of the frame before blanking the Gators in the top of the fifth. Every player in Tennessee’s lineup ended up with a hit. Erin Nuwer was credited for the win after allowing just one hit in two innings of work.

USA TODAY had full coverage of Friday’s game between Tennessee and Florida. Scroll below for highlights and a full recap of the action.
