Nevada Sunrise Metals Corp.N
Nevada Sunrise Metals Corp. (TSXV: NEV, OTC: NVSGF) holds the right to buy 100% of Griffon, can earn 100% of Coronado and up to 79% of Fivemile, and owns 100% of three lithium properties, all in Nevada. Griffon produced 62,661 oz of gold from two open pits (Discovery Ridge, Hammer Ridge) in the past but is not operating today; new gold-in-soil anomalies (an Ionic Leach soil program plus AI-driven targeting) were identified near the historic pits in 2025-2026, supporting a planned 2026 drill program. At Fivemile (Battle Mountain-Eureka-Cortez trend, Lander County), optioned in May 2026 from American Metals Exploration Corp., an Ionic Leach soil survey reported on 23 Sep 2026 found gold, arsenic, copper and selenium anomalies; the company plans a ground gravity survey in the fourth quarter of 2026 to define drill targets.
Lifecycle Milestones
Jurisdiction (40%)9/10
Nevada: Fraser PPI 2025 is 100.00 of 100 (rank 1 of 68), which maps to 9 on this site's scale. Its Griffon and Fivemile projects are in Nevada, a Tier-1 US mining jurisdiction.
Infrastructure (40%)No verified figure
Researched with nothing found: no source we could cite confirms or rules out an existing mill, road access, grid power, or tailings facility at Griffon Gold Mine Project, Nevada, USA (checked Oct 5, 2026; recheck due Apr 3, 2027). Counts at a neutral 5/10 until one does.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not yet researched
No project coordinates on file yet, so distance to a producing mine can't be measured.
Acquisition Susceptibility
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 in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.
How this score is built
- Disclosed pending dealSub-score: Not scored
No pending acquisition or merger disclosed (checked)
Not scored: having no deal in flight isn't held against a company.
Weight 26.25% - Producer's strategic stakeSub-score: Not scored
No producer holds a disclosed stake on file (holder register researched) See holders
Not scored: most juniors that do get bought had no prior toehold, so a missing stake says little either way.
Weight 25% - Distance to a producing mineSub-score: Not yet researched
Distance not yet researched: no project coordinates on file
Distance can't be measured without coordinates, so excluded rather than counted as far.
Weight 22.5% - Lifecycle stageSub-score:1/10
Stage: Grassroots Exploration
Feasibility and permitting score 10, where deals cluster, and production 5.5; earlier stages score less, down to 1 at grassroots.
