  • 30 Oct 2025 - Gold explorer Turaco Gold (ASX:TCG) announced an updated mineral resource estimate for its flagship Afema project in Cote d’Ivoire, which grew ounces by 14% to 4.06Moz - and at a higher grade of 1.2 g/t Au. And this excludes 11,000m of drilling recently completed to be incorpprated in another update Q1/26 which will form basis for PFS due Q2/26. TCG stock rose +3.4% intraday on 30 Oct after this news, before finishing the week (ending 31 Oct) +2.2% (vs. group median flat +0%) to 47c/sh, market cap A$489m, and market cap/oz of US$79/oz Au - in-line with our our 94-company gold explorer peer group mean $79/oz AuEq (and above median $49/oz) - sounds cheap given its large size and near-development stage.

  • 28 Oct 2025 - Former gold explorer - now gold developer - Scottie Resources Corp. (TSXV:SCOT) announced PEA results for its 100%-owned past-producing Scottie gold mine project in BC, which contemplated XRF ore sorting (after small-scale ore sorting test results were announced 1 April 2025) and Direct Shipping of Ore (DSO) from the Stewart bulk shipping facility 40km from the from the mine to be shipped overseas according to negotiated terms in an existing offtake agreement (announced 7 July 2025). Post-tax NPV5 was C$216m at US$2,600/oz from initial capex of C$129m, with NPV increasing to C$668m at US$4,200/oz Au. And these NPVs rise by ~50% in an alternative scenario that relies on nearby toll milling INSTEAD of Direct Shipping of Ore (for which there is no agreement), providing some optionality. SCOT stock traded flat/down -1.2% on 28 Oct after this news (a hair below 94-company explorer mean +1.2%), before closing the week (ending 31 Oct) at C$1.67/sh, market cap C$108m, and P/NAV 0.50x - in line with 71-company gold developer median 0.50x and 37% discount to mean 0.79x - at our reference gold price US$2,000/oz. Feasility study next - expected H1/27.
