Lifecycle Milestones

1. Permit granted

   Reached — date not disclosed · Meeka Metals received final development approval for the Murchison Gold Project (5 exploration licences, 2 mining leases; Andy Well, Turnberry, St Anne's deposits), reported around Sept 3-4, 2024, with no further permitting required. · Source
2. Construction decision (FID)

   Reached — date not disclosed · No separate FID release was found distinct from the Sept 2024 final development approval; construction (plant upgrades, camp, haul road) began immediately following that approval. · Source
3. Construction start

   Reached — date not disclosed · Construction activities (haul road between processing plant and open pit, camp/accommodation village, plant upgrades) began September 2024, immediately after final development approval. · Source
4. First pour / production

   Jul 2025 · Meeka Metals poured first gold at the Murchison Gold Project, 12 months after breaking ground. · Source
5. Commercial production

   Reached — date not disclosed · Genuinely reached (first gold poured 2025-07-01 at the Murchison Gold Project, Western Australia, exactly 12 months after groundbreaking), with the company transitioning from developer to producer and continuing to ramp toward full nameplate capacity through 2026 (mill consistently exceeding 1,500 tpd as of early 2026, targeting 600ktpa then 800ktpa via processing upgrades) -- but no source found frames this with formal 'commercial production declared' language or a specific threshold date distinct from the first-gold-pour milestone. Left null with the 2025-07-01 first-gold context noted. This row was missing entirely prior to 2026-08-21 -- a genuine data gap, not a stage error; Miner.stage was already correctly PRODUCTION. [Task #522 re-verification, 2026-08-21] CONFIRMED CORRECT -- softer flag resolved. Meeka's June 2026 quarterly activities report (ASX; see e.g. https://www.fool.com.au/2026/07/22/meeka-metals-june-2026-quarter-production-edges-up-strong-outlook-with-underground-focus/) discloses real revenue of approximately AUD 38.8M (6,242oz sold at AUD 6,213/oz) -- the company's 5th consecutive quarter of production/sales since the 1 Jul 2025 first gold pour (14 months continuous). The quarter underperformed expectations (management's own words: "another frustrating quarter") and the mill continues transitioning from open-pit to underground feed while ramping toward a higher future nameplate (600 then 800 ktpa) -- but unlike AMAP/SVRS, no current company-sourced statement disclaims commercial-production status; the sales are real, substantial, ASX-disclosed, and sustained well over a year. Kept CONFIRMED CORRECT rather than walked back, consistent with Task #521's own framing that MEK was "much softer than the other 4." · 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.

P/NAV of 0.46x sits in the 9th percentile among 36 production-stage gold peers, despite a jurisdiction score of 9/10 -- high enough that jurisdiction risk alone doesn't obviously explain the discount. Flagged as genuinely unexplained by this mechanical screen: either a real mispricing, or a real risk this screen can't see (a jurisdiction issue this score doesn't capture, or some other factor entirely) -- a distinct, more speculative bucket with no identified resolution catalyst, not the jurisdiction-risk pattern above. See this company's own profile page for any completed, cited research (Task #530) into that real "why," where one exists yet.

A relative screen, not a probability and not a reason to buy. This flags companies trading unusually cheap vs. peers of the same lifecycle stage and commodity, for a real, identifiable reason (a jurisdiction risk, a specific dispute, an incident, a financing gap) that may or may not ever resolve favorably. "Unexplained" candidates carry no identified driver at all -- a more speculative bucket than a named catalyst.
