An update from Searchlight Resources Inc ( (TSE:SCLT) ) is now available.

Searchlight Resources Inc. has engaged High Grade Mining Consulting, led by mining engineer Gary Haywood, to evaluate the reopening of the past-producing Rio Gold Mine near Creighton, Saskatchewan and Flin Flon, Manitoba. The consulting mandate covers assessing underground conditions and costs to restore access to an estimated 1,500 metres of workings for renewed exploration, development, and potential production.

The first phase will focus on surface engineering, geological and environmental studies to support permitting and consultations with First Nations, Metis, and local stakeholders. With historical bulk sampling at Rio averaging 4.1 g/t gold and today’s significantly higher gold prices than at the mine’s 1989 closure, Searchlight is positioning the Bootleg Lake property, including the Rio, Henning-Maloney, Wekach and Robinson Creek prospects, as a potential modern gold mining hub in this established mining district.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:SCLT) stock is a Hold with a C$0.09 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Searchlight Resources Inc stock, see the TSE:SCLT Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:SCLT Stock

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

Overall score is held back primarily by weak financial fundamentals (no revenue, ongoing losses, and negative cash flow) despite improved TTM burn and a debt-free balance sheet. Technical indicators also lean bearish (price below key moving averages and negative MACD), while valuation is constrained by a negative P/E and no dividend support.
