San Lorenzo Gold Corp.
San Lorenzo Gold holds a 100%-owned, 9,062-hectare Salvadora copper-gold porphyry and epithermal vein property in Chile's Atacama Region, where 2026 drilling at the Arco de Oro and Cerro Blanco targets made it one of the TSXV's top-performing gold stocks, though the project remains at an early discovery stage with no NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate yet. A 17 Sep 2026 exploration update identified Quebrada Salada as a new epithermal-style target adjacent to IP chargeability responses, extended the San Juan target area with new D10/D11 IP lines (building on D8/D9), and reported the Cerro Blanco drill program underway; Brandon Gaspar was appointed CEO as part of a broader board/technical-team strengthening.

Lifecycle Milestones
Not yet determined: mill, tailings facility.
Jurisdiction (40%)7/10
Chile is one of Latin America's most stable, mining-friendly jurisdictions with a mature mining code, though it still carries incremental permitting and social-license risk relative to Canada/US/Australia.
Infrastructure (40%)7.9/10
Confirmed road access and confirmed grid power at Salvadora Project, Atacama Region, Chile; existing mill and tailings facility not yet researched, counted at a neutral 5/10 until established.
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.

Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
Checked, and there is nothing to report. No producer or strategic holder, no named institutional or fund holders at all, and no insider transactions on record. Institutional ownership reads 0.1%, which is about as close to a genuine zero as this data gets -- a company with a real fund backer would not read that low. A 1 here means we looked and found nothing, not that anything is wrong with San Lorenzo or its Chilean projects.
