Lifecycle Milestones

1. Permit granted

   Jan 2022 · The Thai government granted Kingsgate the four outstanding 10-year mining leases (Chatree South and Quartz) needed to restart Chatree. · Source
2. Construction decision (FID)

   Mar 2022 · Kingsgate secured a US$15M secured Bridge Facility from Taurus Mining Finance Fund No.2 L.P. to fund the refurbishment and restart of Chatree (engineering firm appointment, long-lead procurement, staff recruitment) -- the company's real decision/financing-commitment event enabling the restart, consistent with the ARTG/EDR financing-commitment convention used in the Task #305/#430 batch1/batch3 scripts. CR3 was appointed as the refurbishment contractor shortly after, with restart work commencing July 2022 and mining operations formally restarting March 17, 2023 (already on file as CONSTRUCTION_START). · Source
3. Construction start

   Mar 2023 · Chatree was officially re-opened and mining operations restarted after a six-year hiatus. · Source
4. First pour / production

   Reached — date not disclosed · Kingsgate poured first gold (four dore bars) at the refurbished Plant 1, per an announcement dated June 7, 2024; Plant 1 had received DPIM operational approval in May 2024. Exact pour date not stated. · Source
5. Commercial production

   Reached — date not disclosed · Genuinely reached with a clean single-asset story, but only month/year precision was found in every source checked (no specific day): Kingsgate's Chatree gold mine (Thailand, via subsidiary Akara Resources) commenced commercial operations in November 2001, under the same continuous Kingsgate ownership throughout -- suspended 2017-2023 after a Thai government mining-lease dispute/non-renewal, restarted 2023-03-17 following legal resolution, same mine, same owner. Rather than guess a specific day, achievedDate is left null (matching the Bellevue Gold precedent, batch4). Nueva Esperanza (Chile, 100%-owned) remains a development-stage asset (development decision pending), not yet producing, and is not the basis for PRODUCTION stage. This row was missing entirely prior to 2026-08-21 -- a genuine data gap, not a stage error; Miner.stage was already correctly PRODUCTION. · Source

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.

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.
