Orecap Portfolio Update: Companies Advance Key 2026 Milestones Across the Group

Orecap's Portfolio Executes on 2026 Milestones, But Valuation Lags Behind Asset Progress

Executive Summary
  • The June 16, 2026 portfolio update highlights comprehensive progress across Orecap's seven mining exploration holdings.
  • American Eagle Gold has secured a $55M cash position, launched a 50,000m drill program at NAK, and appointed a VP of Exploration, with a maiden MRE and PEA targeted for 2027.
  • Awalé Resources announced a maiden 1.71 Moz AuEq resource at Odienné, strengthened its treasury to ~$19M via warrant exercises, and has 8 rigs operating.
  • Kirkland Lake Discoveries reported high-grade step-out drill results at Mirado, including 75m of 1.01 g/t Au and a new zone with 2.46 g/t Au over 14.7m.
  • Stardust Metal completed a $5.26M financing, filed a McGarry NI 43-101 technical report, and commenced Kerr-Addison tailings drilling.
  • Metal Energy appointed a new CEO, secured $9M in cash, and is mobilizing a 6,000m drill program at NIV.
  • XXIX Metal is fully funded for 2026 with a 10,000m Cooke program and environmental baseline studies underway.
  • Auriginal Mining confirmed two mineralization styles at the Roger Project and initiated JV drilling with IAMGOLD.
Material Impact
  • This release is a routine confirmation of previously announced milestones and strategic shifts. Orecap has systematically transitioned from direct land ownership to holding equity stakes in well-capitalized exploration companies, a strategy solidified by the Mirado sale to Kirkland Lake Discoveries in March 2026 and the September 2025 spin-outs.
  • The update validates that portfolio companies are advancing on schedule with adequate funding. However, it does not introduce a sudden, unexpected catalyst that would materially re-rate the stock overnight. The market has already priced in the execution phase through the gradual price appreciation from $0.07 to $0.14.
  • The impact is incremental and expected, aligning with the company's stated roadmap.
