What Is Dakota Gold's Investment Narrative?

To own Dakota Gold today, you need to believe that Richmond Hill ultimately becomes a viable mine, and that the current drilling, feasibility work and permitting can bridge the long gap to potential production without crippling dilution. The latest high grade results, completion of key water monitoring wells and a defined feasibility study timeline help firm up the short term catalysts around resource growth, technical derisking and permitting progress. The move to Deloitte and CEO Robert Quartermain’s London conference circuit speak to a push for deeper institutional engagement, but they are unlikely to change the near term picture as much as drill results and funding do. With no revenue, ongoing losses and a fresh US$50,000,000 ATM facility, financing risk and future share dilution remain front and center, even after the strong share price run.

However, one risk in particular could catch new shareholders off guard if they are not watching closely. Our valuation report here indicates Dakota Gold may be overvalued.
