Fortuna Mining Corp ( (TSE:FVI) ) has issued an update.

On April 20, 2026, Fortuna Mining Corp. announced an earn-in agreement with private Guyanese firm Qstone Inc. that could give Fortuna up to a 70% stake in the 29,600-hectare Quartzstone gold project in the Guyana Shield, a region with a strong history of gold discoveries. Historical drilling from 2010 to 2017 along a five-kilometer corridor at Quartzstone outlined multiple high-grade, near-surface gold zones within a 26-kilometer shear system, positioning the asset as a potentially significant addition to Fortuna’s growth pipeline.

The company has budgeted about US$5.5 million for initial exploration, including geophysics, geochemical work, mapping, and a 5,000-meter diamond drill program to test historical targets and untested structural corridors. Under the staged earn-in, Fortuna can first secure 51% of Quartzstone by drilling at least 60,000 meters within four years and funding all project costs, and it may lift its interest to 70% by solely funding a feasibility study, a structure that expands its Latin America– and Africa-focused portfolio into Guyana with limited upfront capital but added royalty commitments.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:FVI) stock is a Buy with a C$14.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Fortuna Mining Corp stock, see the TSE:FVI Stock Forecast page.
