Lifecycle Milestones
Jurisdiction (40%)8/10
Yukon: Fraser PPI 2025 is 62.19 of 100 (rank 47 of 68), which maps to 8 on this site's scale. Its Rancheria Silver District ground is in Yukon, with additional ground in Nevada, USA. Yukon has Canadian rule of law, but mining executives rate its policy climate below Canada's leading provinces.
Infrastructure (40%)No verified figure
Researched with nothing found: no source we could cite confirms or rules out an existing mill, road access, grid power, or tailings facility at Silver Hart Property, Rancheria Silver District, Yukon, Canada (checked Oct 6, 2026; recheck due Apr 4, 2027). Counts at a neutral 5/10 until one does.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not yet researched
No producing mine within 50 km in our reference list (nearest listed: Kensington (Coeur Mining, Inc.), 294 km). That list doesn't cover every mining district yet, so a longer distance isn't scored as remote.
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
A disclosed corporate action (not an acquisition or merger)
A corporate action of this kind says nothing about takeover susceptibility, so it isn't scored.
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.
