North Arrow Minerals ( (TSE:NAR) ) has issued an announcement.

North Arrow Minerals has launched its 2026 exploration campaign at the Kraaipan Gold Project in southern Botswana, building on a 2025 reconnaissance program that outlined six gold-anomalous areas over the 45 km Kraaipan Greenstone Belt. The company reported high-grade surface grab samples, including 68.5 g/t gold at Target A and 10.7 g/t gold at Target K, and an earlier RC drill intercept of 1.56 g/t gold over 30 m from surface at Target A.

The new program, which began on February 18, combines airborne geophysical surveying with follow-up surface prospecting and a phased RC drilling campaign focused initially on Target A’s 700 m-long mineralized zone. With an approved budget of up to US$2.3 million, almost double 2025 spending, North Arrow aims to systematically test priority targets A, AE, AF and K and advance the Kraaipan project toward defining its resource potential, signaling an escalation of exploration efforts in this emerging gold belt.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:NAR) stock is a Hold with a C$0.36 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on North Arrow Minerals stock, see the TSE:NAR Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:NAR Stock

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

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (no revenue, recurring losses, and ongoing cash burn), despite a low-debt balance sheet. Technicals are supportive with a clear uptrend, but momentum is stretched (high RSI/Stoch). Valuation remains constrained by negative earnings and no dividend support.
