This junior gold company can 3–5x in 2026. My reasoning:

The junior gold company I am referring to is Strikepoint Gold. Ticker: $SKP.V or $STKXF It is a small gold explorer with its main asset, the Hercules project, in Nevada's busy Walker Lane trend. Nevada is the top gold state in the U.S., and Hercules is a near-surface oxide target. If the drilling cooperates, the end goal is a shallow open-pit, heap-leach style deposit like a lot of other operations in the state. The stock had been in a downtrend over the last few months due to a mix of being a victim of tax loss selling and 15c paper from a previous financing keeping it down. However, things are looking better and we've been seeing it start to breakout on solid volume. https://preview.redd.it/cikzclf3s5dg1.png?width=1535&format=png&auto=webp&s=26a4ad4e7de0728e41f5f5daf5867da86640b958 The next real test is the drill program they are planning to kick off in March. The point of this campaign is to collect enough new data to support a first pass inferred resource at Hercules, and they have been pretty open about what they are targeting. Internally they are working toward something in the \~1M ounce range, starting close to surface. First assays should start to hit around mid April, with more results coming through into June, and if things hang together the goal is to publish a maiden inferred resource around Q3 2026. It is important to note that they are not trying to just sell a dream with zero data. The 2025 drilling already pulled some solid intercepts, including 117 metres at 0.45 g/t gold, with a 12 metre stretch at 2.17 g/t. That fits the picture of a broad oxide system starting near surface instead of just a couple of skinny high-grade hits. Where it gets interesting for me is how the market could value it if they actually deliver that kind of resource. Once a Nevada oxide project has an inferred resource on paper, people usually start looking at it on an enterprise-value-per-ounce basis, basically “what are we paying per ounce in the ground.” For a near-surface oxide deposit in a good jurisdiction with gold ripping, it is not crazy to see inferred ounces valued in the C$50–C$70 per ounce range. To keep it conservative, use C$50 × 1M ounces and you get about C$50M. Right now SKP’s market cap is around C$12M. Nothing is guaranteed, they still have to drill it, prove it, and actually publish a resource, but that is where the 3–5x comes from in my head. If they hit something close to 1M ounces and the market is willing to pay even the low end of what Nevada ounces usually trade at, you are talking about a very different valuation than today. High risk, early stage, but if they execute on the next program and the numbers land anywhere near what they are aiming for, I think the rerate can be meaningful. Not financial advice. I have zero relation tp this company except for being a shareholder.
