Report Highlights

  • Since our May 2025 report, ROCK is up 257%, driven by the latest resource estimate on its Contact Lake and Greywacke gold projects in Saskatchewan, and strong initial results from a recently completed 6,838 m (19 holes) drill program at Contact Lake.
  • Indicated resources increased 17% to 0.90 Moz, and inferred resources increased 156% to 1.13 Moz. However, grades declined by 20% as lower-grade material was included due to higher gold prices. We believe the substantial growth in contained ounces outweighs the decline in grades, resulting in a positive net impact.
  • All three released holes of the program at Contact Lake returned significant gold mineralization over long intervals, including 43.3 m of 7.03 g/t, 29.6 m of 2.49 g/t, and 29.5 m of 0.56 g/t. The first two holes are especially encouraging, with grades well above the current resource. Notably, these holes were drilled outside the historic mining footprint, highlighting the project’s resource expansion potential.
  • The next set of results is expected in the coming weeks, and management anticipates announcing a follow-up drill program in Q1 2026.
  • The company has added two early-stage properties, expanding its portfolio to five projects totaling 119,713 hectares. The new projects include Reindeer Lake (Saskatchewan) and Raney Gold (Ontario). Reindeer Lake hosts several gold, copper, zinc, and silver showings. This is a strategic acquisition, as it links the Contact Lake and Greywacke projects, and straddles a highly prospective geological area. Raney Gold is situated along an extension of the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
  • With $12M in cash and marketable securities, the company is well-funded through H1-2026.
  • ROCK is trading at just $40/oz AuEq vs the sector average of $85, a 54% discount.
  • With gold trading at record highs, we anticipate robust M&A activity over the next 12 months, as larger companies target juniors to expand their portfolios. We remain positive on gold prices, supported by US$ weakness, and strong safe-haven demand amid economic and geopolitical uncertainty.
  • Upcoming catalysts include assay results, followed by drilling in H1-2026.

Portfolio Summary

Source: Company

Five projects covering over 119,713 hectares of gold and copper assets in Saskatchewan and Ontario

Two projects with NI 43-101 compliant resources, and one with historical resources

Contact Lake, Greywacke, and Reindeer properties lie within Saskatchewan's La Ronge Gold Belt, which hosts five past-producing mines, and several high-grade gold deposits

Since our initia ting report, the company has staked two early-stage gold projects , Reindeer Lake in northern Saskatchewan and Raney Gold in Timmins, Ontario , and expanded the Greywacke Lake project with the Hailstone property. Last month, geological mapping and sampling were conducted at Greywacke Lake.

Reindeer, which connects the Contact Lake and Greywacke Lake projects, hosts several gold, copper, zinc, and silver showings

Raney Gold is situated within the southwest extension of the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt

Resource Update – Contact Lake & Greywacke Lake Gold

Resources were updated using a higher gold price of US$2,600/oz ( previously US$1, 6 00/oz), allowing the inclusion of previously uneconomic lower-grade material. 2025 Resource - Contact Lake and Greywacke

QP: Cornell McDowell, P.Geo, VP Exploration of Trident Resources Corp.

Source: FRC / Company

Total resources increased 68% to 2.03 Moz

Due to the inclusion of lower-grade material, overall grades declined by 20% to 1.00 g/t Au

While higher resources support a larger production profile and longer mine life, lower grades could lead to higher OPEX

We believe the substantial growth in contained ounces outweighs the relatively modest fall in grades, resulting in a positive overall impact

We see resource expansion potential , as the first three holes from a recent 6,838 m/19-hole drill program at Contact Lake returned significant gold over long intervals, including 43.3 m of 7.03 g/t, 29.6 m of 2.49 g/t, and 29.5 m of 0.56 g/t. The first two holes are especially promising, with grades well above the current resource estimate.

FRC Projections and Valuation

Source: S&P Capital IQ / Various / FRC

 

Despite the recent spike in the stock, ROCK remains the most undervalued junior gold stock on our list, trading at $40/oz AuEq (previously $10/oz) vs a comparables average of $85/oz (previously $50/oz)

Applying the sector multiple to ROCK’s updated resource estimate, we arrived at a fair value of $4.06/share (previously $1.73/share)

We are reiterating our BUY rating, and adjusting our fair value estimate from $1.73/share to C$4.06/share. ROCK has delivered an impressive resource update, and early drill results at Contact Lake highlight strong resource expansion potential. Supported by a well-funded balance sheet, an expanded five-project portfolio, upcoming drilling, and a valuation discount amid strong gold fundamentals, we remain positive on ROCK.

Risks

  • We believe the company is subject to the following risks: Commodity prices
  • Exploration and development
  • Access to capital and potential for share dilution
