Three men on trial over stolen GOLD toilet

ByVictoria

The one-of-a-kind 18-carat gold toilet was swiped in under five minutes from Blenheim Palace, the sprawling English country mansion where British wartime leader Winston Churchill was born, in the predawn hours of September 14, 2019, a prosecutor told jurors Monday.

The toilet has never been recovered but is believed to have been cut up and sold.

All the defendants have pleaded not guilty.

I thought this was interesting and thought I’d share. I’m not entirely surprised that something was stolen I am surprised that the burglars got away with the darn thing! I feel like this is actually kinda funny but hopefully justice will be served. – V.

    Northern Superior Resources Inc is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition of the Hazeur, Monster Lake East, and Monster Lake West Properties originally announced on June 16, 2025 (the “ Transaction “), expanding its total land position in the Chibougamau Gold Camp from 60,016 hectares to 68,522 hectares.

    The Company sees potential to expand the Philibert deposit along strike to the west, particularly within multiple shear zones such as the Red Fox Zone, which historically has seen the most drilling.

    “This acquisition is a major step forward in unlocking the broader potential of the Chibougamau Gold Camp. Not only do these new properties host known gold mineralization and compelling exploration upside, but they also extend key geological structures directly linked to the Philibert deposit. Combined with recent drilling success and a growing resource base, Philibert is rapidly emerging as a cornerstone asset in a camp now coming into prominence on the global stage,” said Simon Marcotte, President and Chief Executive Officer.
