Sentinel Metals Limited
Sentinel Metals is advancing the Columbia Gold-Silver Project in Montana, which carries a 960,000 ounce gold-equivalent Inferred resource. The company has a pending, not-yet-completed acquisition of the Big Springs Gold Project from Capricorn Metals alongside an A$15 million placement, with a shareholder vote expected late Aug 2026 -- seeded here as the current pre-transaction company, since the deal has not closed. Cash is left unstated as stale and superseded by these pending events; debt-free.
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.

Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
Capricorn Metals, a real operating Australian gold producer, both sold Sentinel its new Big Springs project in Nevada and put cash into the placement that funded the deal -- a real but modest producer stake given the vendor relationship involved. A broader Australian fund manager, Perennial, also holds a stake, though it does not appear to specialise in resources specifically.

Reports, Presentations & Documents
Columbia Gold-Silver Project (Blackfoot Valley, Montana): existing JORC resource is 100% Inferred category -- 23.6 Mt at 1.34 g/t Au + 4.6 g/t Ag for 920,000 oz contained gold and 3.14 Moz contained silver. No Measured/Indicated category exists, so ouncesFound (this repo's M+I-only field) is left null. Sentinel's maiden diamond drilling campaign at Columbia (fully funded, ~5,000m across 21 holes) only commenced Jun 2026 following Montana DEQ approval, testing priority zones identified from 400+ historical drill holes -- no updated resource yet from this program.
