Sunshine Metals Ltd
Sunshine Metals (renamed from Sunshine Gold Ltd, July 2023) is developing the Ravenswood Consolidated Project in Queensland's Ravenswood district, combining the Liontown gold-silver deposit (a real silver byproduct) with the acquired Mt Moss project. The company carries an A$10 million deferred payment (Mt Moss acquisition vendor finance, not bank debt). Shares outstanding (~3.60 billion) is the best-available reconciled figure but carries flagged reconciliation uncertainty; no confident current cash figure was found.
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.
