Torq Resources Inc ( (TSE:TORQ) ) just unveiled an update.

Torq Resources and partner Gold Fields are advancing plans for an approximately USD$11 million drill program at the Santa Cecilia copper-gold project in Chile, now scheduled for the Chilean spring of 2026. Fully funded by Gold Fields under its USD$48 million earn-in option, the campaign will focus on Pircas Norte, Gemelos Norte and new targets showing wide, continuous gold-copper mineralization.

The updated timeline follows a deferral from early 2026 due in part to a contractor employee’s off-duty death at the exploration camp, which authorities have preliminarily attributed to natural causes. Torq emphasizes that ongoing investigations are not expected to have material financial consequences and says the program aims to expand recent porphyry discoveries that returned long copper-gold intercepts, underscoring Santa Cecilia’s potential significance within Chile’s porphyry belt.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:TORQ) stock is a Hold with a C$0.10 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Torq Resources Inc stock, see the TSE:TORQ Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:TORQ Stock

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

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (no revenue, sustained losses, ongoing cash burn) and heightened balance-sheet risk from deeply negative equity. Technical indicators are roughly neutral with only mild positive momentum, and valuation offers limited support due to negative earnings and no dividend yield.
