ニコラ・マイニング社、主力プロジェクトであるニュー・クレイグモント銅鉱山で探査掘削を開始

By

-- ニコラ・マイニング(NIM.V)は火曜日、ブリティッシュコロンビア州メリット近郊のニュー・クレイグモント銅プロジェクトにおいて、2026年の探査ダイヤモンド掘削プログラムを開始したと発表した。 同社の2026年の計画には、ZTEM異常を直接検証し、斑岩・スカルン鉱床系の核となる可能性を評価するための探査孔掘削が含まれている。ただし、ニュー・クレイグモントは「隣接するハイランドバレー銅鉱床が示すように、複数の斑岩鉱床が存在する可能性を秘めている」と指摘している。 ヨトゥン鉱床における掘削は、変質鉱物群、構造的制御、岩相境界、鉱化作用に関する理解を深めるなど、継続的な探査開発を支援する「貴重な」地質情報を提供することが期待されている。これらは、ニュー・クレイグモントにおける潜在的な斑岩銅鉱床系の探査を進める上で重要な要素となる。2026年プログラムの予算は150万ドルと見積もられており、これには地球物理探査と土壌サンプリング調査が含まれる。 同社は、トレジャーマウンテン銀鉱山プロジェクトにおいて、6月上旬に掘削作業を終了し、その後新たな掘削プログラムを開始する予定です。また、熱ベクトルデータセットの処理も今シーズン中に完了する見込みで、これにより熱水変質パターンのさらなる解釈が可能となり、翌年にデータ収集を拡大してこの研究を継続するかどうかの判断材料となるでしょう。 同社の株価は、トロント証券取引所ベンチャー市場で直近の取引で0.02ドル安の0.77ドルとなっています。

Research Alert: Waste Management: Broad-based Margin Gains Support Q1 Beat

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:WM's Q1 results exceeded expectations, with operating EPS of $1.81 (up 8.4% Y/Y) vs. consensus of $1.74, driven by better-than-anticipated margin execution. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 70 bps to 29.8%, with Recycling and Renewable segments showing impressive gains of 370 bps and 790 bps, respectively. We believe operational efficiency initiatives are paying dividends as WM invests in technology and automation to optimize its cost structure, a trend that should continue supporting margin expansion in 2026 and beyond. Core pricing remained robust at 6.3%, reflecting WM's pricing power as the company shifts toward higher-margin contracts. WM completed three recycling facilities during the quarter, adding nearly 300K tons of processing capacity in growing markets. We see newer automated facilities as making this business more profitable. Healthcare Solutions integration was notable, with adjusted EBITDA growing 11.6% despite slight revenue decline, driven by SG&A cost management and synergy capture.

Research Alert: Essex Property Trust, Inc. Post Ffo Beat And Revenue In Line

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:ESS delivered solid Q1 2025 results, with FFO of $4.17 per share, $0.21 above consensus, and same-property revenue growth of 2.9%. Cash NOI grew 4.3% Y/Y due to rental revenue of $482M, with average monthly rent up 2.2% to $2,719. We believe the West Coast multifamily market is showing modest growth, with Northern California leading the recovery at 3.9% same-property revenue growth, followed by Seattle Metro at 2.3% and Southern California at 2.2%. Management reaffirmed 2026 guidance, with FFO expected at $15.69-$16.19 per share and same-property revenue growth of 1.7%-3.1%. ESS increased its annual dividend by 0.8% to $10.36 per share, marking the 32nd consecutive annual increase, while repurchasing $61.9M in shares YTD. We like the portfolio's performance trajectory amid the ongoing West Coast market recovery, though operating expenses continue outpacing revenue growth at +2.5% to +3.5%. This leads to cash NOI of only +0.8% to +3.4% with the midpoint at +2.1% Y/Y.

Research Alert: Eix Q1: Rate Increase Offsets Cost Recovery Non-recurral; Growth Targets Weak

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Edison International reported Q1 2026 core EPS of $1.42 vs. $1.37 prior year, driven by 2025 General Rate Case rate relief, partially offset by the absence of $0.30 per share interest expense benefits from TKM Settlement Agreement cost recoveries. GAAP EPS declined to $1.38 from $3.73 due to the absence of $908M in prior-year non-core benefits. Operating revenue increased 7.7% to $4,103M while cash flow from operations grew 16.6% to $1,427M, though interest expense rose substantially to $524M from $301M due to capital funding requirements. Management affirmed 2026 core EPS guidance of $5.90-$6.20 and maintained confidence in 5%-7% core EPS growth from 2025 to 2030. We think the company's long-term EPS goals are overly optimistic as we forecast EPS growth closer to the 3%-4% range, suggesting EIX has the lowest earnings trajectory among peers with an 8.9% average, making even the 5%-7% target appear uncompetitive, in our view.
