Trekor Metals Limited
Formerly Taseko Mines Limited, the company was renamed Trekor Metals Limited effective June 25, 2026 following shareholder approval at its June 24 AGM (ticker symbols TGB on NYSE American and TKO on TSX/LSE were unchanged). It operates the Gibraltar copper-molybdenum mine in British Columbia and the newly commissioned Florence Copper in-situ recovery (SX/EW) project in Arizona, which harvested its first cathodes in late February 2026; Q1 2026 revenue rose 70% year-over-year to $237 million on sales of 27 million pounds of copper, with adjusted EBITDA of $93 million.

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.

Jurisdiction (40%, counts 50% here)9/10
British Columbia: Fraser PPI 2025 is 74.28 of 100 (rank 31 of 68), which maps to 9 on this site's scale. Trekor Metals' flagship is the Gibraltar copper-molybdenum mine in south-central British Columbia, Canada, the country's second-largest copper mine. British Columbia is a top-tier mining jurisdiction, scored 9 like most British Columbia companies on this site. Its Florence Copper in-situ recovery operation in Arizona, USA, is also in a top-tier jurisdiction.
Infrastructure (40%, counts 50% here)9.3/10
A confirmed mill, confirmed road access, and confirmed grid power at Gibraltar Copper-Molybdenum Mine, British Columbia, Canada; tailings facility not yet researched, counted at a neutral 5/10 until established.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not counted: would not raise the score
Mount Polley (Imperial Metals Corporation) is 43 km away and would score 8.5/10 on its own, but that is below what this company's other researched inputs already give it. A nearby producing mine can only raise this score, never lower it, so it isn't counted here.
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.

Not scored: most juniors that do get bought had no prior toehold, so a missing stake says little either way.

Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
Our own shareholder register for Trekor is empty, which is a gap in our data rather than a fact about the company -- roughly 207 institutions have filed on the stock. Checking that register directly, it resolves to index and quantitative money plus mainstream generalists: the Global X Copper Miners ETF, Mirae Asset's ETFs, Connor Clark & Lunn, Mackenzie Financial, L1 Capital, Renaissance Technologies and Walleye. No dedicated resource specialist holds a meaningful position and no producer holds shares. The Japanese partners in the Gibraltar mine hold their interest in the mine itself rather than in Trekor, and the largest of them, Sojitz, sold out in 2023.
