NGEx Minerals ( (TSE:NGEX) ) has issued an update.
NGEx Minerals has advanced its flagship Lunahuasi project in Argentina with an eight-rig Phase 4 drill program that is nearly 88% complete, confirming the high grades, scale and continuity of copper, gold and silver mineralization, including new discoveries of a copper-gold porphyry system and ultra high-grade gold veins. The company also secured environmental approval for an exploration adit at Lunahuasi, strengthening the technical foundation for future studies, and bolstered its balance sheet with an upsized $175 million private placement, while enhancing shareholder value through the spin-out of LunR Royalties, which holds NSR royalties over Lunahuasi and Los Helados and in which NGEx retains a significant minority stake.
These moves collectively position NGEx as a key emerging player in high-grade Andean copper-gold systems, providing operational flexibility, additional funding runway and increased optionality for both exploration and project development. The LunR spin-out, combined with retained ownership, offers shareholders direct and indirect exposure to royalty upside, while the strengthened treasury supports the continued de-risking and potential re-rating of the Lunahuasi asset within a tightening global copper market.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:NGEX) stock is a Hold with a C$31.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NGEx Minerals stock, see the TSE:NGEX Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on NGEX Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, NGEX is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (no revenue, widening losses, and heavy cash burn), despite low leverage. Offsetting factors include supportive technical positioning and a favorable run of corporate updates (funding secured, positive exploration results, and the LunR Royalties spinout/listing). Valuation remains difficult to support using earnings metrics due to ongoing losses.
