Valor Gold Corp.
Valor Gold Corp. was spun out of Seabridge Gold on June 3, 2026, taking 100% ownership of the Courageous Lake gold project -- the third-largest undeveloped gold resource in Canada, about 240km northeast of Yellowknife. Seabridge's own updated PFS (led by Ausenco) reports 11.0 million oz gold Measured & Indicated (145.2Mt at 2.36 g/t) plus 3.3 million oz Inferred, outlining a 12.6-year open-pit mine producing 2.5 million oz gold at an all-in sustaining cost of US$999/oz, with an after-tax NPV5% of US$523 million and 20.6% IRR.

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.
