North Arrow Minerals Inc.
North Arrow Minerals Inc., a Vancouver-based explorer led by CEO Eira Thomas, commenced its 2026 exploration program at the Kraaipan Gold Project in Botswana -- 1,266km2 of concessions covering the 60km strike of the Archean Kraaipan Greenstone Belt straddling the Botswana-South Africa border -- which is now the company's primary strategic focus. It also retains legacy diamond-exploration interests in Canada at the Naujaat (Nunavut), Pikoo (Saskatchewan) and Loki (Northwest Territories) projects; its former Northwest Territories hard-rock lithium projects (DeStaffany, LDG, Mackay) were sold to Li-FT Power in early 2025. No NI 43-101 resource estimate has been published for Kraaipan.

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.

Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
Electrum Strategic Opportunities Fund (Thomas Kaplan's Electrum Group) and well-known resource financier Ross Beaty each invested $2M in North Arrow in 2017 -- but that is now 9 years stale, with zero reconfirmation found that either still holds a position, and the company's current 0.00% institutional / 8.86% insider register (much diluted from 2017) argues against it. No open-market insider buying was found either.
