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.

Task #317 Lane B (Aug 2026): checked. A Jul 2025 JORC 2012 compliant Mineral Resource exists for Bulgera -- 23.8 Mt @ 0.65 g/t Au for 501,000 oz combined (using a 0.24 g/t lower Au cut-off) -- but the company's project page renders the Measured/Indicated/Inferred breakdown ONLY as an embedded image, not extractable text, so the combined total cannot be confidently reduced to this DB's M+I-only convention without knowing how much is Inferred. The investor-relations subdomain (investors.norwestminerals.com.au, an InvestorHub-platform site hosting the actual ASX announcement) returned no usable content to either WebFetch or a direct curl fetch -- consistent with this DB's known InvestorHub/Vercel bot-wall pattern seen on several other juniors' investor sites. No economic study of any kind exists yet: an Oxide and Transition bulk sample were only sent to ALS Perth for metallurgical testing in support of a maiden Heap Leach Scoping Study (and subsequent PFS) in late 2025 -- not completed. A 2025 internal review incorporating an A$5,000/oz gold price assumption is referenced as showing 'potential for strong positive cash flows' but with no NPV/IRR/mine-life figures disclosed. Flagged for a follow-up pass once the ASX announcement PDF or InvestorHub content can be reached directly.
