CANEX Metals Inc.
CANEX Metals Inc. (TSXV:CANX) is a gold exploration company advancing its 100%-owned Gold Range Project in Mohave County, northern Arizona, USA, which hosts several near-surface bulk-tonnage gold discoveries across a 4 km mineralized trend and has seen over 900 historic and current drill holes. In June 2026 CANEX completed a plan of arrangement acquiring 100% of the adjacent Gold Basin Resources Corporation, consolidating the contiguous Gold Range and Gold Basin land package. An independent NI 43-101 technical report (geology and exploration review) has been filed on SEDAR+ for Gold Range, though no current mineral resource estimate has been published. CANEX also holds the Louise Copper-Gold Porphyry Project in British Columbia, Canada, hosting a large historic (non-NI-43-101-compliant) copper-gold resource with limited modern deep/lateral exploration.

Lifecycle Milestones
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.

Gold Range / Gold Basin (Mohave County, Arizona): no formal NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate has been published for either property. CANEX completed 100% acquisition of Gold Basin Resources Corp on 10 Jun 2026 (controlling interest acquired 10 Feb 2026) and is now consolidating the two adjacent oxide-gold properties (combined >8km mineralized trend, 950+ historic/current drill holes) toward a maiden resource; a maiden MRE had not been delivered as of this pass (18 Aug 2026). ouncesFound left null -- genuinely no compliant resource exists yet. FLAG: worth a human recheck of the RESOURCE_DEFINITION stage tag given no MRE has ever been filed (out of scope to change here). [Task #317 stage correction, 2026-08-18]: Independent re-verification (WebSearch, 2026-08-18) confirms no NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate has been published for Gold Range, Gold Basin, or the Louise Copper-Gold Porphyry project (whose only figure is a large historic, non-compliant estimate, per this row's own pre-existing description). The prior FLAG above is resolved: stage corrected RESOURCE_DEFINITION -> GRASSROOTS.
