Golden Horse Minerals Limited
Golden Horse Minerals (renamed from Altan Rio Minerals Limited, July 2023) explores the Hopes Hill Project within its Southern Cross Gold Project tenure in Western Australia's Southern Cross Greenstone Belt, and separately owns the Sorrel Copper Project, a copper-only asset (no gold credit identified) in the Northern Territory's McArthur Basin. Sorrel -- the former Redbank and Wollogorang Copper Projects -- was acquired 100% from NT Minerals Limited (ASX:NTM) for $1.0M cash plus 4.63 million Golden Horse CDIs (valued at over $2.15M at completion, escrowed 12 months), completing September 2025 after a September 2024 option period in which Golden Horse spent $5.1M on exploration and funded a pre-feasibility study. It holds an Inferred JORC resource of 8.4Mt @ 1.1% Cu (88.6kt contained copper) across seven deposits over 7,508km² of tenure; exploration is early-stage regional target generation (50+ untested copper breccia pipes identified, only 7 drill-tested to date). Cash uses the AUD $30.6 million June 30 2026 quarterly-report figure; a conflicting AUD $43.66 million aggregator figure was also found and is flagged here as unresolved/possibly stale rather than used. No debt is reported.

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.
