Notable vs. Peers

• Jurisdiction risk score of 9/10 is meaningfully safer than the peer average of 6.9/10.

Lifecycle Milestones

1. Permit granted

   Reached — date not disclosed · Endeavor is a past-producing mine, idle since 2019 under a prior operator (the same fact this miner's own existing COMMERCIAL_PRODUCTION row already documents). Polymetals acquired the mine and its mining leases (ML158, ML159, ML160, ML161 and ML930) from CBH Resources and its subsidiary companies Endeavor Operations Pty Ltd and Cobar Operations Pty Ltd -- entities that already held the mining leases before Polymetals' acquisition (announced 14 May 2024) rather than a new grant being made to Polymetals itself. The underlying NSW mining leases were transferred/inherited through that acquisition, not newly granted -- same reused-pre-existing-lease shape as HL/San Sebastian and DRD/FWGR (Task #646 batch 1) and NICU/McCreedy West, PDI/Kiniero above (this same batch). No dated 'permit granted' event specific to Polymetals' 2024 restart was found. · Source
2. Construction decision (FID)

   Sep 2024 · Polymetals announced Endeavor Mine funding and offtake secured -- a US$20 million (~A$30M) pre-payment/loan facility with a global commodity trader plus offtake terms for zinc and silver-lead concentrate delivery from H1 2025 -- the company's real financing/decision-equivalent event enabling the Endeavor restart, consistent with the ARTG convention (Task #305 batch1 script). · Source
3. Construction start

   Reached — date not disclosed · Site establishment and surface refurbishment work at Endeavor began in August-October 2024 (safety/training/environmental systems, headframe gantry crane refurbishment and re-certification), ahead of the mill's eight-month refurbishment programme that preceded restart. No single dated 'construction/refurbishment begins' release found; recorded reached-but-undated. · Source
4. First pour / production

   Reached — date not disclosed · The Endeavor processing plant became operational following an eight-month refurbishment programme, with first ore treated and first saleable zinc concentrate produced in June 2025 (reported in a June 24, 2025 update); first cargoes of silver-lead and zinc concentrate shipped later in 2025. No single dated 'first ore/first concentrate' release found distinct from the June 2025 window; recorded reached-but-undated. · Source
5. Commercial production

   Jun 2025 · Genuinely reached with a clean, single, well-documented date: Polymetals restarted the past-producing (idle since 2019 under a prior operator) Endeavor silver-zinc mine (Cobar, NSW) itself, completing an eight-month refurbishment programme and announcing commencement of continuous production of saleable silver-lead and zinc concentrates effective 2025-06-24 -- a genuine, clean, company's-own declared threshold, not inherited from the prior operator. Endeavor is Polymetals' sole current producing asset. This row was missing entirely prior to 2026-08-21 -- a genuine data gap, not a stage error; Miner.stage was already correctly PRODUCTION. · Source

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.

P/NAV of 0.62x sits in the 8th percentile among 13 production-stage silver peers, despite a jurisdiction score of 9/10 -- high enough that jurisdiction risk alone doesn't obviously explain the discount. Flagged as genuinely unexplained by this mechanical screen: either a real mispricing, or a real risk this screen can't see (a jurisdiction issue this score doesn't capture, or some other factor entirely) -- a distinct, more speculative bucket with no identified resolution catalyst, not the jurisdiction-risk pattern above. See this company's own profile page for any completed, cited research (Task #530) into that real "why," where one exists yet.

A relative screen, not a probability and not a reason to buy. This flags companies trading unusually cheap vs. peers of the same lifecycle stage and commodity, for a real, identifiable reason (a jurisdiction risk, a specific dispute, an incident, a financing gap) that may or may not ever resolve favorably. "Unexplained" candidates carry no identified driver at all -- a more speculative bucket than a named catalyst.
