NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 17, 2026 / Emerging Growth Research today announced the release of its Initiation Report on Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc. (TSXV:NTH,OTC:NPMMF), assigning a Buy-Emerging rating and a 12-month price target of C$0.30 per share (approximately US$0.21), representing approximately 88% upside from the Company's recent closing share price of C$0.16. The report highlights Nord's unique strategy of generating near-term cash flow through the reprocessing of historic silver tailings while simultaneously advancing one of Canada's largest consolidated high-grade silver districts.
Emerging Growth Research believes Nord offers investors a compelling combination of near-term production potential, district-scale exploration upside, and significant valuation upside supported by high-grade silver assets, a streamlined permitting framework in Ontario, and a disciplined development strategy.
Key Highlights from the Initiation Report
• Near-Term Silver Production Through the Gowganda Silver Tailings Project
Nord's flagship Gowganda Silver Tailings Project is estimated to contain approximately 2.96 million ounces of silver (historical, non-compliant estimate). Because the material has already been mined and processed once, the project is expected to benefit from significantly lower capital and operating costs compared to conventional underground mining. The Company expects to complete a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate during the next six months, followed by an economic study supporting project financing and development.
• Ontario's New Recovery Permit Legislation Accelerates Development Timeline
Ontario's Recovery Permit legislation, effective July 2025, creates an expedited permitting pathway for historic mine tailings projects, reducing approval timelines from years to approximately 80 days. Emerging Growth Research believes this regulatory change materially de-risks the Gowganda project while improving project economics and accelerating Nord's path toward potential production.
• District-Scale Exploration Portfolio Provides Significant Long-Term Upside
Following its recent acquisitions, Nord controls more than 6,400 hectares within Ontario's historic Cobalt Camp, an area that has produced over 500 million ounces of silver. The Company now controls five historic mines, multiple tailings deposits, the Castle East discovery, and one of the largest consolidated land positions in the district's history. Emerging Growth Research believes future exploration success has the potential to substantially increase shareholder value beyond the Company's near-term production plans.
• Castle East Represents One of the World's Highest-Grade Historic Silver Deposits
Nord continues advancing exploration at its Castle Property, where the Castle East deposit hosts a historic resource of approximately 7.5 million ounces of silver grading 8,582 g/t silver, making it one of the highest-grade known silver deposits globally. Ongoing drilling is targeting additional vein systems throughout the district with the goal of significantly expanding the known mineralized footprint.
