Maple Gold Mines Ltd.
Maple Gold Mines holds the 100%-owned, district-scale Douay/Joutel gold project spanning roughly 481 km2 along a 40km segment of the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone in Quebec's Abitibi Greenstone Belt. Across its two deposits the company reports approximately 5.2 million oz gold (Douay alone: 731,000 oz Indicated plus 2.74 million oz Inferred in-pit, plus 608,000 oz underground). A fully-funded C$13.9M, 32,000-metre 2026 drill program is underway, with engineering firm Ausenco conducting an internal scoping study ahead of a formal preliminary economic assessment decision expected in H1 2027.
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.
