Orex Minerals ( (TSE:REX) ) just unveiled an update.

Orex Minerals has confirmed it is moving ahead with the sale of its 38.79% interest in the Coneto Silver-Gold Project in Mexico to Silver Viper Minerals, alongside partner Fresnillo plc, which is divesting its 61.21% stake. Although the parties missed their initial January 2026 target for signing a definitive share purchase agreement, they report steady progress on finalizing terms, securing approvals and satisfying closing conditions, with Orex now set to receive a mix of cash and Silver Viper shares while Fresnillo will be paid solely in Silver Viper equity at a deemed price of CAD$0.80 per share. The transaction values Coneto at about US$15 million and would leave Fresnillo and Orex holding roughly 12% and 7% of Silver Viper, respectively, reinforcing their exposure to the asset through equity rather than direct ownership, while also establishing anti-dilution protections for Fresnillo and a technical committee to guide future project advancement, subject to customary regulatory and shareholder approvals.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:REX) stock is a Hold with a C$0.23 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Orex Minerals stock, see the TSE:REX Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:REX Stock

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

The score is held down primarily by very weak financial performance (no revenue, sustained losses, and continued cash burn with shrinking equity). Technical momentum is a key offset (price above major moving averages with positive MACD), while valuation provides limited support due to negative earnings and no dividend yield data.
