Milestones are recorded only from a company's own dated disclosure. A milestone with no date shown is one we can confirm was reached but for which no date was disclosed — we don't estimate one. "Not yet reached" means exactly that, not that a date is missing. An "Expected" line likewise only ever reflects the company's own guidance (e.g. a study or permit decision targeted for a stated quarter) — most not-yet-reached milestones have none, and that absence means no such guidance has been disclosed, not that one is overdue.
Jurisdiction (40%)6/10
Thailand has an established mining code, but Kingsgate's Chatree mine operated under a multi-year suspension and international-arbitration dispute with the Thai government (since resolved via settlement) before returning to full production, leaving some residual regulatory-relationship risk despite the mine's now multi-year operating track record.
Infrastructure (40%)10/10
A confirmed mill, confirmed road access, confirmed grid power, and a confirmed tailings facility at Chatree Gold-Silver Mine, Phichit/Phetchabun Provinces, Thailand.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not yet researched
No producing mine within 50 km in our reference list (nearest listed: Okvau (Emerald Resources NL), 776 km). That list doesn't cover every mining district yet, so a longer distance isn't scored as remote.
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.

Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
Checked, with very little to show. Every named holder we have dates from early 2021 -- three Dimensional index funds, a John Hancock international small-company fund, and a Global X Silver Miners ETF position at 2% -- so none of it describes the register as it stands today. The only current substantial-holder activity we could find is State Street, which crossed above 5% on 21 July 2026 and had already ceased to be a substantial holder by 30 July, a nine-day passive holding. No producer or strategic investor holds a stake, no discretionary resource fund is disclosed, and there are no insider transactions on record.
