Maritana Minerals Limited
Maritana Minerals (renamed from Horizon Minerals, April 2026) holds 1,167 km2 of tenements across the Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie goldfields in Western Australia, with 1.88 million ounces of gold resources including the 428,000oz Boorara deposit and satellite projects totaling a further 1.37 million ounces. The company owns ~100% of the Black Swan Processing Hub, where a Front-End Engineering Design study has lifted planned throughput from 2.2 to 2.5 Mtpa, targeting ~100,000 ounces of annual gold production in H2 2027; early works and site mobilisation are underway, backed by a A$25 million investment, alongside continued high-grade drilling at the Burbanks Gold Project near Coolgardie.

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.
