Elk Range Mining Limited listed on the ASX (ticker ELK) on 10 Aug 2026 following a fully subscribed A$10 million IPO at $0.20/share. The company's district-scale Idaho Gold Project sits in the Orogrande Shear Zone and includes the Friday Gold Mine -- a permitted, previously-producing underground gold mine (operational until roughly five years before listing, with the prior owner reported to have invested over US$40 million developing mine infrastructure) -- plus the Orogrande Processing Facility, and the Buffalo Gulch and Deadwood gold deposits. One historical drill hole beneath the Friday Gold Mine intersected more than 5 g/t gold over 110 metres, with grade still climbing when drilling stopped. A maiden ~6,000m drilling program at Friday was targeted to begin within weeks of listing (Q3 2026). No current JORC/NI 43-101 resource estimate exists -- the asset's value rests on its existing permitted infrastructure and historical drill/production data pending re-drilling.

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.

Reports, Presentations & Documents
No current resource estimate or economic study exists for the Idaho Gold Project as of this seed (2026-08-25) -- the company listed 10 Aug 2026 and the maiden 6,000m drill program at Friday Gold Mine was only just beginning. dcfNpvUsd/irrPct/mineLifeYears/ouncesFound are all genuinely absent, not an unresearched gap. Historical (pre-2021, prior-owner-era) production and drilling exist at Friday but were not written as ouncesFound: no NI 43-101/JORC-compliant current resource estimate has re-verified them under the current QP standard.
