Highway 50 Gold Corp. (TSXV: HWY; formerly Tatmar Ventures Inc.) is targeting large-scale Carlin-type gold deposits along Nevada's Highway 50 corridor in north-central Nevada. Its 100%-owned Gold Knob project began a 10-15 hole drill program in June 2026; a discovery hole (GK-26-9A) announced 14 September 2026 -- only days before this research -- intersected 51.82m (170 ft) grading 0.60 g/t Au, including higher-grade intervals of 1.02 g/t Au over 4.6m and 2.74 g/t Au over 4.6m, extending a large gold footprint previously drilled only to shallow (~500 vertical feet) depths.

Lifecycle Milestones
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. The Gold Knob project is in north-central Nevada, consistently ranked among the world's most attractive and stable mining jurisdictions.
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 Gold Knob Gold Project, North-Central Nevada, USA (checked Sep 26, 2026; recheck due Mar 25, 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

Highway 50 Gold, formerly Tatmar Ventures, is searching for large Carlin-type gold deposits along the Highway 50 corridor in north-central Nevada, where its flagship is the 100%-owned Gold Knob project. A 10-15 hole drill program began at Gold Knob in June 2026, and on 14 September 2026 the company announced discovery hole GK-26-9A, which intersected 51.82m at 0.60 g/t gold, including 4.6m at 1.02 g/t and 4.6m at 2.74 g/t. The result extends a large gold footprint that earlier drilling had tested only to shallow depths of about 500 vertical feet. No NI 43-101 resource has been estimated on any of its properties.
