"My belief is TNR's Shotgun Gold Project can potentially grow and become a foremost, immediate satellite site Gold deposit to Donlin Gold's Mining Camp infrastructure. This vision is based on our exploration work and academic studies like the ones from Dr Tim Baker in which Shotgun Gold Project is not only listed alongside Donlin Creek as one of the "Major Porphyry Gold Deposits" but is also projected to contain the similar porphyry intrusion-related type system as Donlin."

Angela Harmantas from Proactive wrote about the new report on TNR Gold from Fundamental Research Corp:
"TNR Gold’s portfolio spans various mining assets, with a key focus on its Shotgun gold project in Alaska and royalties in two advanced-stage projects in Argentina: the Mariana lithium project, owned by Ganfeng Lithium, and the Los Azules copper-gold project, held by McEwen Copper."
"TNR Gold is about to make a strategic shift in its business model and position itself as a revenue-generating royalty firm, according to analysts at Fundamental Research Corp.
Production began earlier this year at the Mariana lithium project, owned by China’s Ganfeng Lithium, with TNR set to begin receiving royalty payments as early as the fourth quarter of 2025.
Based on current spot lithium prices, Fundamental Research estimates annual royalty revenue from Mariana could reach C$1 million." (Angela Harmantas)
"The company's other flagship royalty asset is on the Los Azules copper-gold project in Argentina, controlled by privately held McEwen Copper Inc, a division of McEwen Mining Inc (TSX:MUX, NYSE:MUX). The large-scale, open-pittable deposit holds an estimated 38 billion pounds of copper, 4.7 million ounces of gold, and 159 million ounces of silver. McEwen plans to complete a resource update and feasibility study this quarter, with construction targeted for 2026 and production slated to start by 2029.FRC projects that TNR’s royalty from Los Azules could generate annual revenues of up to C$10 million at current copper prices.
The firm reiterated its Buy rating and increased a fair value estimate from C$0.28 to C$0.30 per share, compared with a current trading price of C$0.09." (Angela Harmantas)
"Elsewhere, at the Shotgun gold project in Alaska, TNR is actively seeking a JV partner to advance the project to a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). Shotgun hosts inferred resources totaling 706 Koz of gold at a grade of 1.1 grams per tonne. Analysts believe the project has expansion potential, with the Shotgun Ridge deposit remaining open along strike and at depth." (Angela Harmantas)
TNR Gold – AmeriGold – Shotgun Gold
The Company’s strategy with the Shotgun Gold Project is to attract a partnership with one of the major gold mining companies. TNR is actively introducing the project to interested parties. We may be at the beginning of a great discovery. There is a clear path to moving this project forward using current geological and geophysical research to target drilling to expand the resource and form the basis of a preliminary economic analysis. The next step is to acquire a partner who shares our vision and recognises the growth potential and value to be added to the Shotgun project over time.
Our strategy, which we presented to potential strategic partners, involves creating a JV with one of the major gold mining companies. Our partner will invest substantial capital in developing the Shotgun Gold Project while earning a stake in the project.
TNR Gold shareholders will benefit from the strategic partner’s capital being invested “in the ground” and industry expertise, including operations in Alaska.
Management is investigating the best value-creation strategies for the Shotgun Gold Project. It has established the corporate structure of AmeriGold – the stand-alone company that could potentially inherit the Shotgun Gold Project JV operations after the contemplated potential spinout from TNR Gold.
