Goundafa Historic Mine Site Spring Work Program Completed

Steadright advances Moroccan Goundafa mine development with stockpile sales and CMS acquisition, but cash burn remains a key risk.

Executive Summary
  • Steadright Critical Minerals provided an operational update on its Goundafa Historic Mine project in Morocco, confirming the completion of its spring work program.
  • The company executed a binding MOU to acquire shares of Ste Commerciale et Minière du Sahara (CMS) for $7.5 million USD, payable over 2.5 years with acceleration options.
  • A separate contract was signed with MoResCo Sarl to purchase up to 14,400 metric tons of historic mineralized stockpiles from the Goundafa site.
  • Axiom Exploration Group was engaged in April 2026 to geo-locate and sample tailing piles, with samples analyzed by AfriLab for gold and multi-element geochemistry.
  • Historical data indicates 320,000 tons were mined between 1926 and 1956, with a 2022 non-NI 43-101 report estimating 6.62 million tons of inferred material.
  • CEO Matt Lewis confirmed the company is reviewing Axiom's work and will report back to the market shortly.
Material Impact
  • The release confirms execution on the December 2025 MOU framework, specifically the $7.5 million CMS share acquisition and the 14,400-ton stockpile sale contract.
  • Monetization of historic stockpiles provides a potential near-term revenue stream, though volumes are modest and dependent on buyer logistics and grade verification.
  • The Axiom sampling program is a standard de-risking step; results will determine the viability of future drilling and resource conversion.
  • No new financial guidance, revenue recognition, or production milestones are disclosed. The update is incremental to previously announced plans.
  • The news does not alter the company's pre-revenue, pre-production status or its immediate capital requirements.
