Lifecycle Milestones

1. Permit granted

   Reached — date not disclosed · Sleeping Giant is a previously-producing, historically-permitted mine (process plant originally restarted in 2016); a distinct 'original mining permit' grant date was not located in this pass. Cited here instead: the environmental certificate of authorization for custom milling of third-party ore at the Sleeping Giant Mill, obtained 28 Oct 2025, evidencing current confirmed permitted operating status at the mill. [Task #697 chronology ruling, 2026-08-25] achievedDate cleared (was 2025-10-28). Task #696's milestone-permit-precedes-build-chain rule flagged this row as dated after the 11 Sep 2025 first gold pour -- i.e. the mine appeared to be producing before it was permitted. The rule is right that the dates contradict, and the resolution is that the recorded date was never the grant that authorised this build: the note above says so in its own words -- Sleeping Giant is "a previously-producing, historically-permitted mine (process plant originally restarted in 2016)" and "a distinct 'original mining permit' grant date was not located in this pass". What 2025-10-28 actually dates is a LATER and DIFFERENT authorisation -- an environmental certificate for CUSTOM MILLING OF THIRD-PARTY ORE at the Sleeping Giant Mill -- used as a proxy for current permitted status. A proxy for "is permitted" cannot also serve as "when permitted", and using it as both is what produced the false inversion. Date cleared; the citation and the custom-milling finding are preserved above, and the row continues to evidence permitted operating status. Same reached-but-undated hedge this miner's own CONSTRUCTION_START row already uses. If the original Sleeping Giant mining permit date is ever located it should be written here. · Source
2. Construction decision (FID)

   Jul 2025 · US$8 million secured financing facility with Nebari Natural Resources Credit Fund II closed 4 Jul 2025, providing the non-dilutive capital that enabled the Sleeping Giant restart/development program to proceed. · Source
3. Construction start

   Reached — date not disclosed · Underground rehabilitation of existing galleries and preparation of the first stope began "early July" 2025 (Abcourt's own 7 Aug 2025 development update), immediately following the 4 Jul 2025 Nebari financing close (same event dating CONSTRUCTION_DECISION). achievedDate left null -- the company's own release dates this to the week, not a specific day; not invented here. Task #551. · Source
4. First pour / production

   Sep 2025 · First gold pour at Sleeping Giant, 11 Sep 2025 (Abcourt's own globenewswire.com release, "Abcourt Announces First Gold Pour at Sleeping Giant Mine"), independently corroborated by miningweekly.com and Inspenet/Canadian Mining Journal coverage, all citing the same date. Distinct from stage=PRODUCTION (Task #551, 2025-12-31 stageEnteredAt) -- first pour is not the same as confirmed real sales revenue under this repo's schema convention. · Source
5. Commercial production

   Not yet reached

   Expected Target only -- steady-state production through December 2026; no declaration date given · Abcourt has not given a commercial-production declaration date. Its 25 Aug 2026 release frames the near-term objective as maintaining production at Sleeping Giant through December 2026, with the first long-hole stope (blasted July 2026) expected complete mid-Sept 2026. Recorded as a target, explicitly not a declaration date -- an earlier 'commercial production declaration expected mid-2026' target (Crux Investor, 5 Dec 2025) has already slipped with no declaration, so this window is treated as soft. · Source

Milestones are recorded only from a company's own dated disclosure. A milestone with no date shown is one we can confirm was reached but for which no date was disclosed — we don't estimate one. "Not yet reached" means exactly that, not that a date is missing. An "Expected" line likewise only ever reflects the company's own guidance (e.g. a study or permit decision targeted for a stated quarter) — most not-yet-reached milestones have none, and that absence means no such guidance has been disclosed, not that one is overdue.

A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal the underlying research identifies — whether a major already holds a JV, earn-in, or 5–19.9% strategic stake — isn't tracked yet and is absent from this score.
