Notable vs. Peers
- Jurisdiction risk score of 6/10 is meaningfully riskier than the peer average of 7.8/10.
Lifecycle Milestones
Not yet determined: mill, tailings facility, grid power.
Jurisdiction (40%)6/10
Washington: Fraser PPI 2024 is 27.63 of 100 (rank 67 of 82; not rated in the 2025 survey), which maps to 6 on this site's scale. Its flagship ground is in Ferry County, Washington State, with more ground in British Columbia. Washington has US rule of law, but mining executives rate its policy climate among the weakest in Fraser's survey.
Infrastructure (40%)6.4/10
Confirmed road access at Cooke Mountain Project (Overlook Trend, Key West and Goodfoot targets), Ferry County, Washington, USA; existing mill, grid power, and tailings facility not yet researched, counted at a neutral 5/10 until established.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not yet researched
No producing mine within 50 km in our reference list (nearest listed: Copper Mountain (Hudbay Minerals Inc.), 159 km). That list doesn't cover every mining district yet, so a longer distance isn't scored as remote.
Acquisition Susceptibility
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 in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.
How this score is built
