International Tower Hill Mines Ltd.
International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. holds a 100% interest in the Livengood Gold Project, located on the paved Elliott Highway 70 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska -- one of the largest gold deposits discovered in the last 20 years, with a Measured & Indicated resource of 16.5Moz plus 4.1Moz Inferred. A Nov 2021 Pre-Feasibility Study (filed as a 2022 SK-1300 Technical Report Summary) remains the most recent completed economic study; a Feasibility Study is now underway (core drilling commenced 2026, Phase 1 FS contracts awarded to a consortium of BBA Consultants, Hatch, Newfields, Resource Development Associates, and JDS Energy and Mining). The company closed an upsized US$115 million equity financing in Jan 2026 and reported zero debt with US$115.0 million working capital as of 31 Mar 2026. In Jul 2026 the company appointed new leadership specifically to advance Livengood: David Wiens (former Asante Gold CFO) as CEO effective 17 Aug 2026, and Shane Parrow as President & COO effective 27 Jul 2026. Major shareholders include Paulson & Co. (~39.9%) and Electrum Group (~12.2%).

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.

Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
Two well-known resource investors -- Paulson & Co. (~39.9%) and the Electrum Group (~12.2%) -- together control roughly half of International Tower Hill Mines. A prior DB claim of 'a smaller Eric Sprott stake (~9.5%)' does not correspond to any personal Eric Sprott filing found: the only Sprott-named presence on record is the institutionally distinct Sprott Inc./Sprott Asset Management USA, Inc. (the publicly traded asset manager, TSX: SII), which reported 3.8% as of a May 2026 13G/A -- down from 10.4% in early-to-mid 2025. The ~9.5% figure most likely traces to a shareholder-aggregator page mislabeling that institutional position as personal Eric Sprott. No individual Eric Sprott stake is confirmed here. Substantial, dated open-market insider buying (roughly $84.7 million across five purchases in 2026) was found, with no offsetting selling.
