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 thanks to a mix of tax loss selling and cheap fifteen cent paper from a previous financing weighing on it. That pressure looks like it has started to clear and the chart has been breaking out on solid volume. https://preview.redd.it/pprglfast5dg1.png?width=1535&format=png&auto=webp&s=fada2bc4da8e0a2d99624984bc302c17ed7a1488 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 one million 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. They are not trying to sell a dream with zero data. The 2025 drilling already pulled some solid intercepts, including 117 meters at 0.45 g/t gold, with a 12 meter stretch at 2.17 g/t. That lines up with the idea of a broad oxide system that starts 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 asking what they are 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 end up valued in roughly the US$40 to US$60 per ounce range To keep it conservative, call it US$40 a pop on one million ounces and you get about US$40M. Right now SKP’s market cap is roughly US$9M. Nothing is guaranteed, they still have to drill it, prove it, and actually publish a resource, but that is where the “three to five times” idea comes from for me. If they hit something close to one million 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 to this company except for being a shareholder.
