Capitan Silver Corp.
Capitan Silver's 100%-owned, roughly 2,551-hectare Cruz de Plata silver-gold project sits in Durango, Mexico's Penoles Mining District, where a January 2026 NI 43-101 technical report and mineral resource estimate underpins a fourfold-expanded, 60,000-metre multi-rig 2026 drill campaign -- backed by C$29 million in fresh funding -- aimed at growing high-grade zones toward a larger resource base.
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.
