In the last week, the Canadian market has stayed flat, though it is up 27% over the past year with earnings expected to grow by 16% annually in coming years. For investors willing to explore beyond established names, penny stocks—often smaller or newer companies—can offer intriguing opportunities.

Mawson Gold (TSXV:MAW)

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Mawson Gold Limited focuses on the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Australia and Sweden, with a market cap of CA$333.69 million.

Operations: Mawson Gold Limited does not report any revenue segments.

Market Cap: CA$333.69M

Mawson Gold, with a market cap of CA$333.69 million, remains pre-revenue and unprofitable. Despite this, its short-term assets of CA$15.9 million comfortably cover both short- and long-term liabilities. The company was recently added to the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index, signaling increased visibility in the market. Notably, Mawson's exploration at the Sunday Creek project in Australia has shown promising mineralization results aided by AI technology, particularly for antimony—a critical mineral facing global supply constraints due to China’s export limits. However, limited cash runway and shareholder dilution are potential concerns for investors.
