Impact: Mildly Positive
Pacton Gold announced that it has entered into an LOI to acquire additional conglomerate ground in the Egina region. We believe this to be a positive development, as it is an area of the Pilbara that has now been identified as prospective for conglomerate gold by Novo Resources. This pending acquisition is in line with the company’s strategy to use the valuation difference between Canadian and Australian conglomerate gold players, to acquire prospective ground for exposure to conglomerate gold exploration. It is important to highlight that the company has started work on its 100% owned Arrow project; thus, transitioning Pacton from an acquisition strategy to one with some exploration.
