Gold Terra Resource Corp.
Gold Terra controls 836 sq km immediately north, south and east of Yellowknife, NWT, covering one of Canada's six major high-grade historical gold camps, including the Yellorex, Zone 103N, and Crestaurum deposits plus an option on the past-producing Con Mine. A technical report on the three core deposits was filed effective April 30, 2026. 2026 plans target 15,000m of drilling, an updated resource estimate in September 2026, and a PEA by year-end. Financing: a C$10.8M LIFE offering backed by strategic holders Eric Sprott and David Harquail, first tranche (C$8.75M) closed July 24, 2026.
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.
Gold Terra brought in two well-regarded mining financiers, David Harquail (former Franco-Nevada CEO) and Eric Sprott, as strategic investors in a C$6.3 million private placement in November 2025. Sprott's resulting stake is now independently confirmed at 10.7% (50,000,000 shares) as of that placement's close -- a real, sizeable specialist-financier position on its own, clearing this rubric's top single-specialist band outright. Mackenzie Financial Corporation, a large generalist Canadian mutual-fund manager, separately discloses a real 5.16% stake -- sizeable, but not a resource-sector conviction bet. Several insiders including Gerald Panneton bought shares through the same period.

SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate (effective 30 Apr 2026, per the 15 May 2026 release 'Gold Terra Adds 595,000 Inferred Ounces...'), All Deposits Total: Indicated 729 kt @ 4.39 g/t Au for 103,000 oz (no Measured category) -- Yellorex UG Indicated 145 kt @ 5.15 g/t for 24koz + Crestaurum OP Indicated 525 kt @ 4.07 g/t for 69koz + Crestaurum UG Indicated 59 kt @ 5.32 g/t for 10koz. A further 7,534 kt @ 3.69 g/t for 895,000 oz is Inferred (not included here per this repo's M+I-only convention). Checked: the excluded Sam Otto/Barney/Mispickel deposits (2021 SGS estimate, 1.2 Moz) are confirmed 100% Inferred in the company's own 43-101 filing, so they add zero M+I. RESIDUAL CAVEAT: a 2022 Con Mine Option initial MRE separately reported 109,000 oz Indicated; this 2026 SLR update appears to fully supersede it (Yellorex alone is now 24koz Indicated), but if any 2022 CMO Indicated zone sits geographically outside the 2026 update area it could be additive -- not independently confirmed either way this pass, flagged for a recheck once SLR's contracted PEA (targeted 15 Jun 2026) is published.
