An update from Amex Exploration ( (TSE:AMX) ) is now available.

Amex Exploration has delivered a positive Phase 1 feasibility study for its 100%-owned Perron Gold Mine in Quebec, outlining a low-cost, high-grade underground operation using toll milling of the Champagne Zone. The plan forecasts average annual production of 147,000 ounces of gold over five years at an all-in sustaining cost of USD$910 per ounce, supported by proven and probable reserves of 774,000 ounces at 12.1 g/t and a low initial capex of CAD$193.9 million.

The study indicates robust economics, including a post-tax IRR of 114.6%, post-tax NPV5 of CAD$1.13 billion and a rapid 0.5-year payback, based on an assumed gold price of USD$3,500 per ounce. By leveraging existing regional processing infrastructure through a toll milling strategy, Amex aims to accelerate first revenue to 2028, reduce permitting and financing risk, and position Perron as a high-margin producer while it advances Phase 2 on-site processing and continues district-scale exploration to potentially expand the mineral resource.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:AMX) stock is a Buy with a C$6.75 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Amex Exploration stock, see the TSE:AMX Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on AMX Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, AMX is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by weak financial performance (pre-revenue, widening losses, and negative free cash flow) partly offset by a strong debt-free balance sheet. Technicals are a positive contributor due to a strong uptrend, though momentum looks overbought. Valuation is constrained by ongoing losses and no dividend support.
