Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp.
Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp. explores for gold, silver, copper, zinc and diamonds across three projects in Ontario's Abitibi Greenstone Belt: KL South (~2,599 hectares, hosting the past-producing Mirado gold system), KL West (~21,364 hectares) and KL East (~18,569 hectares). Recent drilling at Mirado has returned high-grade intercepts including 18.99 g/t Au over 6.7m. No current JORC/NI 43-101-compliant resource estimate was located this pass -- stage recorded as RESOURCE_DEFINITION given the past-producing history and active infill/step-out drilling, not a confirmed published estimate.
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.

Reports, Presentations & Documents
KL South Project / Mirado Gold System (Abitibi Greenstone Belt, Ontario): the only resource figure that exists anywhere for this property is a 2013 historical estimate (442,000 oz Inferred at 1.29 g/t Au) which the company explicitly states it is NOT treating as a current mineral resource -- a qualified person has not done sufficient work to reclassify it under NI 43-101. No current, compliant resource estimate of any category exists. ouncesFound left null -- genuinely no compliant resource, not merely an M+I gap. Company is actively drilling (2026 program, high-grade intercepts below/beyond the historical resource shell, e.g. 125.91 g/t Au over 1.0m) toward a future maiden current estimate. FLAG: worth a human recheck of the RESOURCE_DEFINITION stage tag given no compliant resource has ever been filed (out of scope to change here). [Task #317 stage correction, 2026-08-18]: Independent re-verification (WebSearch, 2026-08-18) confirms the only resource figure that has ever existed for Mirado is the company-disclaimed 2013 historical estimate (442,000 oz Inferred @1.29 g/t Au, explicitly NOT treated by the company as a current NI 43-101 resource). The 2026 drill program is described as moving Mirado 'toward a modern resource update' -- i.e. not yet delivered. The prior FLAG above is resolved: stage corrected RESOURCE_DEFINITION -> GRASSROOTS.
