Emerging Growth raises CopAur price target to C$0.37 on 52% resource expansion
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 8, 2026 / Emerging Growth Research today announced the release of its updated Flash Report on CopAur Minerals Inc. (TSXV:CPAU), maintaining its Buy rating and increasing its 12-month price target to C$0.37 per share (US$0.26), representing approximately 164% upside from the Company's recent share price of C$0.14. The updated report follows CopAur's announcement of a maiden Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) and updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for its 100%-owned Kinsley Mountain Gold Project in Nevada. The results represent a significant milestone in the project's advancement from exploration toward development and provide the first formal economic assessment of a potential mine restart.
Key Highlights from the Flash Report Maiden PEA Demonstrates Strong Project Economics The PEA outlines a restart scenario for Kinsley Mountain as an open-pit heap leach operation with anticipated production beginning in 2028, subject to permitting and regulatory approvals. Using a base-case gold price of US$3,200 per ounce, the project generates a post-tax NPV5% of US$35 million, an IRR of 19.7%, and a payback period of approximately 2.5 years. Attractive Production Profile and Operating Margins The PEA forecasts average annual gold production of approximately 30,500 ounces over the project's four-year mine life.
Pre-production capital expenditures are estimated at US$81.8 million, while all-in sustaining costs (AISC) are projected at US$1,861 per ounce. Updated Resource Estimate Expands Indicated Gold Resources by 52% The updated Mineral Resource Estimate increased Kinsley's Indicated Resource to 742,000 ounces of gold grading 1.11 g/t Au, representing a 52% increase in contained ounces compared to the previous estimate. The project also hosts an additional 69,000 ounces of gold in the Inferred category.
Major De-Risking Event Advances Kinsley Toward Development According to Emerging Growth Research, the completion of the PEA represents a significant de-risking milestone for CopAur. The combination of resource growth, demonstrated project economics, and a viable development pathway transforms Kinsley from a primarily exploration-stage asset into a potentially financeable Nevada gold development project. Compelling Relative Valuation Following the updated resource estimate, CopAur now controls approximately 811,000 gold-equivalent ounces.
The Company currently trades at approximately C$20 per ounce of resource, compared to a peer group average of approximately C$51 per ounce. Applying the peer-group multiple supports a revised 12-month target price of C$0.37 per share.
