Austin Gold Corp.
Austin Gold Corp. (NYSE American: AUST), based in Vancouver, explores for district-scale gold discoveries in the southwestern United States. Its website lists two projects: Lone Mountain, on the Independence-Jerritt Canyon gold trend near the Carlin district in Elko County, Nevada, and the 100%-owned Stockade Mountain Project in Malheur County, Oregon, about 27.2 km2 of unpatented mining claims in a geological setting similar to the nearby Grassy Mountain gold deposit. Its May 2026 annual disclosure release also named a 70% interest in the Kelly Creek Project on the Battle Mountain-Eureka (Cortez) trend in Humboldt County, Nevada. At Stockade Mountain, 2023-2024 drilling returned intercepts of up to 9.32 g/t gold over 2.7 feet, a 2025 CSAMT survey refined drill targets, and an NI 43-101 technical report filed in June 2026 confirms the project has no defined mineral resource; none of its projects has one. The company entered an at-the-market offering agreement for up to US$7.5M in February 2026 to fund exploration.

Lifecycle Milestones
Not yet determined: mill, tailings facility, grid power.
Combined view across 2 projects. Figures below are only combined where the underlying basis genuinely matches -- see the notes under each.
Jurisdiction (40%)9/10
Nevada: Fraser PPI 2025 is 100.00 of 100 (rank 1 of 68), which maps to 9 on this site's scale. Austin's first-listed project, Lone Mountain, is in Nevada; its Stockade Mountain project in Oregon is named as context and not blended into the score.
Infrastructure (40%)No verified figure
Researched with nothing found: no source we could cite confirms or rules out an existing mill, road access, grid power, or tailings facility at Lone Mountain Project, Elko County, Nevada, USA (checked Oct 7, 2026; recheck due Apr 5, 2027). Counts at a neutral 5/10 until one does.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not yet researched
No project coordinates on file yet, so distance to a producing mine can't be measured.
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
- Disclosed pending dealSub-score: Not scored
No pending acquisition or merger disclosed (checked)
Not scored: having no deal in flight isn't held against a company.
Weight 26.25% - Producer's strategic stakeSub-score: Not scored
No producer holds a disclosed stake on file (holder register researched) See holders
Not scored: most juniors that do get bought had no prior toehold, so a missing stake says little either way.
Weight 25% - Distance to a producing mineSub-score: Not yet researched
Distance not yet researched: no project coordinates on file
Distance can't be measured without coordinates, so excluded rather than counted as far.
Weight 22.5% - Lifecycle stageSub-score:1/10
Stage: Grassroots Exploration
Feasibility and permitting score 10, where deals cluster, and production 5.5; earlier stages score less, down to 1 at grassroots.
