Val-d’Or Mining Corporation ( (TSE:VZZ) ) has issued an announcement.

Val-d’Or Mining Corporation reports progress on its 2026 diamond drilling program at the Perestroika Prospect in Courville Township, Québec, where Eldorado Gold (Québec) Inc. is the project operator under an option agreement. The campaign was originally budgeted for 20 holes totalling about 8,000 metres, but by March 30 Eldorado had already completed 18 holes for 10,287 metres drilled, with two more holes in progress, and core logging and sampling underway ahead of future analytical results disclosures.

Under the existing option structure, Val-d’Or currently holds a 70% interest and Eldorado 30% in the Perestroika and related properties, with Eldorado able to earn an additional 40% stake by spending $10.5 million in exploration over five years and making annual payments to Val-d’Or. If Eldorado exercises this option and a joint venture is formed, it would further validate the exploration potential of the properties, potentially de-risking project advancement for Val-d’Or while aligning both companies’ interests in developing these Québec assets.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:VZZ) stock is a Hold with a C$0.10 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Val-d’Or Mining Corporation stock, see the TSE:VZZ Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on VZZ Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, VZZ is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by mixed financial performance: a strong, low-risk balance sheet and improved cash flow are outweighed by ongoing losses and negative returns. Technicals are largely neutral with a slightly negative momentum signal, and valuation is constrained by negative earnings and no dividend support.
