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

Orex Minerals has agreed to sell its 38.79% interest in the Coneto Silver-Gold Project in Durango, Mexico, to Silver Viper Minerals Corp., alongside partner Fresnillo plc, in an all-share deal valued at US$15 million. The Coneto Project, a historic and prolific silver-gold district with extensive mapped epithermal quartz veins, will be fully consolidated under Silver Viper, which will issue 25,531,875 shares to the vendors at a deemed price of C$0.80 per share.

On closing, Orex will receive its pro-rata portion of Silver Viper shares, retaining indirect exposure to Coneto’s exploration upside and to Silver Viper’s La Virginia Gold-Silver Project while exiting as a direct joint-venture participant. The transaction, classified as non-arm’s length due to a shared director and subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval and customary conditions, is positioned by Orex as a way to unlock shareholder value and shift the project to a dedicated Mexican-focused operator, potentially sharpening Orex’s strategic focus on its remaining Mexican and Canadian exploration assets.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:REX) stock is a Hold with a C$0.35 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 REX Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, 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.
