The latest announcement is out from Kestrel Gold ( (TSE:KGC) ).

Kestrel Gold reported 2025 diamond drilling results from the Main Zone and 14 Vein at its QCM Gold Property in British Columbia, highlighted by long intervals of near-surface gold mineralization and visible gold in multiple holes. The known extents of gold at Main Zone have been expanded to roughly 500 metres along strike and 270 metres in depth, while 14 Vein now extends about 300 metres along strike, and initial metallurgical tests indicate more than 90% gold recovery in 24 hours, underscoring the project’s potential as Centerra advances work toward its earn-in commitments.

Centerra, as operator, completed 9,110.5 metres of drilling in 36 holes during the 2025 field season, including 6,305.5 metres on Main Zone and 2,805 metres on 14 Vein, fulfilling a significant portion of the exploration work required under the option agreement. The expansion of mineralized footprints at both targets and favourable early-stage recovery results strengthen QCM’s exploration profile and support continued investment, with implications for Kestrel’s long-term leverage to any future resource delineation and development decisions by Centerra.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:KGC) stock is a Sell with a C$0.04 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kestrel Gold stock, see the TSE:KGC Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:KGC Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:KGC is a Neutral.

The score is primarily held down by weak financial performance: no revenue, ongoing losses, and persistent negative free cash flow, despite the benefit of having no debt. Technical signals are mixed-to-weak with negative MACD and price below longer-term moving averages, while valuation is constrained by a negative P/E and lack of dividend support.
