-- メイフェア・ゴールド(MFG.V)は月曜日、オンタリオ州のフェン・ギブ金プロジェクトを2028年の建設決定に向けて進めるにあたり、第1四半期の進捗状況を発表した。 同社は第1四半期中に、2023年に開始した複数年にわたる環境ベースライン調査の統合と解釈を進めた。 作業は、オンタリオ州の「ワン・プロジェクト・ワン・プロセス」フレームワークへの申請を支援するため、調査結果を技術パッケージにまとめ、州との環境アセスメント手続きを進めることに重点を置いた。 メイフェアは第1四半期中にプロジェクト状況通知書を提出し、プロジェクトの生産段階への移行を表明した。現在、エネルギー・鉱山省からの正式なガイダンスと次のステップに関する要件を待っている。 同社は、環境アセスメントおよび許認可業務を、以前はEcometrixとして事業を行っていたEgis Canadaに委託した。 2026年初頭には、計画されている尾鉱貯蔵施設、敷地内インフラエリア、および処理プラントの地質調査が再開された。同社はまた、プロジェクトエリア全体の地下水状況の理解を深めるため、揚水試験活動を推進した。 同社は今年後半に詳細設計に着手するとともに、プロジェクトの許認可取得に向けて準備を進める予定である。

Research Alert: Franklin Resources: Mar.-q Results Top Expectations On Improved Fund Flows
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:BEN reported Mar.-Q adjusted EPS of $0.71 vs. $0.47 a year ago, beating the consensus estimate of $0.55 and our forecast of $0.56. Operating revenues rose 9% Y/Y, exceeding our 5%-8% growth forecast, with investment management fees up 9%, while operating margins improved to 14.1% from 6.9% on contained expense growth. We are encouraged by the latest quarterly results and view BEN's diversified AUM mix as a positive development. Western Asset Management's legal issues may still be a concern, with former co-CIO Ken Leech's fraud trial set for June 2026. AUM advanced 9% to $1.68T, reflecting improved fund flows with $16.9B of net long-term inflows vs. $26.2B outflows a year ago, though FY 25 (Sep.) outflows totaled $97.4B. BEN's AUM comprises 40% equity, 26% fixed income, and 17% alternatives, providing greater diversification than some peers. We believe the Western Asset misconduct has significantly damaged the brand.
