Inventus Mining Corp.
Inventus Mining Corp. holds two 100%-owned Ontario properties: the 240 km2 Sudbury 2.0 project (explored for gold, platinum, palladium, copper, cobalt and nickel) and the Pardo Paleoplacer Gold Project, both in the Sudbury Mining Division. Pardo bulk-sampling and drilling in 2026 recovered 564oz of gold from a Trench 1 bulk sample and returned high-grade results including 10.5 g/t Au over 0.5m in the Matinenda Layer. Eric Sprott purchased 11.84 million shares in July 2025.

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.

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 of the best-known names in Canadian mining finance hold major stakes here: Robert McEwen -- founder of Goldcorp and chairman of McEwen Mining -- owns about 16.2% (35.8M shares) personally through his holding company Evanachan Limited, last disclosed Dec 2022, and Eric Sprott, the archetypal resource-sector financier, owns about 15.1% (33.4M shares) through vehicles including 2176423 Ontario Ltd. and The Sprott Foundation, last disclosed Jul 2025 -- both percentages reflect dilution against Inventus's current ~221M shares outstanding, and both holders' underlying share counts have been unchanged since those filings (independently corroborated by MarketScreener's own 2026-07-14 shareholder snapshot). Either position alone would be a strong signal; having both is a real vote of confidence from experienced money. McEwen Inc., the producer Robert McEwen chairs, separately holds about 9% (Inventus's September 2026 presentation), built partly through cash warrant exercises in 2025.
