    Updates on Resource Companies Under Coverage

    Loncor Gold Inc. (LN.TO, LONCF)

    PR Title: Significant gold intersections at Adumbi in the DRC

    Analyst Opinion: Positive – An ongoing resource expansion drill program at its flagship Adumbi gold deposit continues to return high-grade intercepts, including 13.9 m of 6.01 g/t, and 7.9 m of 9.54 g/t. Adumbi, which hosts 3.7 Moz of gold, is located 220 km from Barrick’s (TSX: ABX) Kibali mine, one of Africa’s largest gold mines.

    Pulsar Helium Inc. (PLSR.V, PSRHF)

    PR Title: Attracts a US$4M financing

    Analyst Opinion: Positive - Funds will be used towards PLSR’s flagship Topaz project in Minnesota, which hosts a high-grade helium resource. The company is planning to complete a resource update, and a PEA, in the coming months. With a significant supply deficit expected later this decade, we anticipate growing investor interest in the helium sector.

    Millennial Potash Corp. (MLP.V)

    PR Title: Announces a $3.5M equity financing

    Analyst Opinion: Positive – Proceeds will be used to fund exploration and development activities of its Banio potash project in Gabon, West Africa. A 2024 Preliminary Economic Assessment returned an AT-NPV10% of US$1.1B, and a high AT-IRR of 33%, using a 25-year average price of US$387/t of granular Muriate of Potash (gMOP) vs the current spot price of US$319/t. MLP is trading at just 3% of the AT-NPV10%.
