Stockworks Gold Inc. (TSXV: STW, Frankfurt: 4XO1) -- renamed from Rover Critical Minerals Corp. in July 2025 -- is a Canadian junior explorer focused on the Pirenopolis Gold Project in Goias, Brazil, an established mining jurisdiction with a long history of gold production. The project covers two stream catchments with highly anomalous gold values in an area of limited modern exploration. 2026 fieldwork has included systematic, closely-spaced stream-sediment sampling up-drainage, prospecting for additional mineralised float following a mineralised quartz float boulder returning elevated gold values, and first-pass regional geochemical/geophysical surveys to refine drill targets. In May 2026 the company closed a non-brokered private placement of up to 8,000,000 units at C$0.10 for C$800,000.
Notable vs. Peers
- Jurisdiction risk score of 6/10 is meaningfully riskier than the peer average of 7.8/10.

Lifecycle Milestones
Not yet determined: mill, tailings facility, grid power.
Jurisdiction (40%)6/10
Stockworks explores in Goias state, Brazil, which has an established federal mining code and a large mining sector, though state-level permitting and environmental review timelines and currency volatility add risk.
Infrastructure (40%)6.4/10
Confirmed road access at Pirenopolis Gold Project, Goias State, Brazil; existing mill, grid power, 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.
