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.
Fresnillo plc — the world's largest primary silver producer — holds about 13.19% of Silver Viper and operates the Coneto project. But how it got there matters: Silver Viper bought Coneto from Fresnillo and Orex Minerals in May 2026 for US$15 million paid entirely in shares, so Fresnillo's stake is consideration for an asset it sold rather than a cash decision to buy in. It did also sign an investor rights agreement with anti-dilution protection and stay on as operator, which is more commitment than a vendor has to give. Beyond that the register is bare — no fund holders, institutional ownership of 1.4%, and no insider transactions on file.

La Virginia Project (Sonora, Mexico; epithermal Au-Ag, five discrete deposits incl. El Rubi). Maiden NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate, effective 1 May 2021: Indicated = 154 Koz Au @ 0.78 g/t Au and 6.92 Moz Ag @ 35 g/t Ag. No Measured category exists -- Indicated is the full M+I figure. Inferred = 260 Koz Au @ 0.8 g/t Au and 12.94 Moz Ag @ 40 g/t Ag, excluded per repo's M+I-only convention. An updated resource estimate (60,000 m active drill campaign since Oct 2025, incl. infill at El Rubi) has been guided for Q2 2026, but per the company's own 23 Jul 2026 drilling-progress update, the campaign was still in progress with no new resource figure published as of this pass (Aug 2026) -- the 2021 maiden estimate remains the current filed NI 43-101 figure. Company separately closed the acquisition of the adjacent Coneto silver-gold project (Durango) from Fresnillo plc/Orex Minerals in May 2026 -- a distinct asset, no resource estimate of its own yet, not included here.
