West Red Lake Gold Mines Provides Drill Results From Madsen Mine

-- West Red Lake Gold Mines (WRLG.V) Monday provided drill results from its 100% owned Madsen Mine located in the Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.

The company said recent drilling success from the Austin 904 "demonstrates the potential for discovery of additional high-grade lenses of gold mineralization in the main Austin Zone very similar to those that have already been delineated in the South Austin 4447 area during the 2025 campaign." It is anticipated that the 904 Complex will continue to be a primary focus of drilling at Madsen for the remainder of 2026 with initial production from this area expected in the first half of 2027.

Hole MM26D-13-4881-031 intersected 5.35 metres (m) at 215.46 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au), from 135.10m to 140.45m, including 2.95m at 388.90 g/t Au, from 136.00m to 138.95m. Hole MM26D-13-4881-034 intersected 4.05m at 50.34 g/t Au, from 135.5m to 139.55m, including 0.5m at 390.36 g/t Au, from 137.05m to 137.55m.

It also said hole MM26D-13-4881-018 intersected 3m at 61.70 g/t Au, from 122.5m to 125.5m, including 0.5m at 61.70 g/t Au, from 123.5m to 124.0m. The company said these intercepts were complemented by multiple occurrences of visible gold spatially associated with quartz veining and strong silicification.

"For historic comparison, the High-Grade Zone discovery by Goldcorp Inc. in Red Lake was initially established on nine holes with a weighted average grade of 311 grams per tonne gold, uncapped, over 2.3 metres - we already have multiple results received to date out of 904 that exceed these grades and thicknesses," said West Red Lake Gold Mines vice president of Exploration Will Robinson. "Additionally, our definition drills have only begun testing the upper 30 metres of the currently modeled 200 metre by 200 metre mineralized panel in 904 - which is believed to be fully intact and has had no historic mining."

Shares of the company closed unchanged at $0.99 on Friday on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Shares Of The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We trim our 12-month target price by $8 to $155, valuing HIG shares at 11.3x our 2026 operating EPS estimate of $13.75 (cut by $0.45) and at 10.6x our 2027 EPS estimate of $14.65 (cut by $0.30), vs. the shares' one-year average forward multiple of 10.3x and peer average of 13x. Q1 EPS of $3.09 vs. $2.20 a year ago missed our $3.60 estimate and $3.39 consensus view. Operating revenue growth of 6.2% was in line with our 6%-10% forecast, amid 5.3% earned premium growth, 13% higher net investment income, and 7.9% fee revenue growth. Q1 written premium growth of 4% and full-year 2025 growth of 7% bode well for 2026 revenue trends as premiums are earned. Underwriting results improved significantly, with Personal Lines combined ratio improving to 87.7% from 106.1% and underlying combined ratio to 85.0% from 89.7%. Business Insurance combined ratio was stable at 94.8%. Weighing the Q1 EPS miss with HIG's decent top-line growth and discounted valuation to peers, we view the shares as undervalued.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Baker Hughes

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target price by $14 to $82, reflecting a combination of our sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) and DCF models. For our SOTP model, we presume the oilfield services business (about 50% of BKR's franchise) to be valued at about 10x projected 2027 EBITDA (in line with major peers) and its industrial energy technology business (the other 50%) valued at 14x projected 2027 EBITDA (in line with the peer median). This blended approach, yielding a 12x multiple, implies a value of $73 per share. Meanwhile, our DCF model, using medium-term free cash flow growth of 5% per year, terminal growth of 2.5%, discounted at a WACC of 6.3%, yields intrinsic value of $91 per share. We cut our 2026 EPS estimate by $0.47 to $2.48, but we raise 2027's by $0.07 to $3.24. We acknowledge that the oilfield services business is likely to struggle in 2026 owing to the U.S.-Iran conflict, but the IET business appears quite robust and likely to be a source of both accelerating revenue growth and margins.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion In Shares Of Wab

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our 12-month target to $285 from $275 following WAB's Q1 earnings print, valuing shares at 24.2x our 2027 EPS outlook of $11.76 (revised from $11.46; 2026 EPS estimate up to $10.57 from $10.50), a slight premium to WAB's long-term historical multiple average given structural improvements in earnings quality. While we are cautious on signs of overcapacity in the freight market, an elevated order backlog (12-month sits at over $9 billion), internal initiatives to shore up margins, and potential synergies from M&A activity positions WAB to continue growing earnings at double-digit rates in 2026-2027, in our view. Despite tariff-related cost pressures, WAB has done a commendable job of defending margins via a mix of pricing, lean manufacturing, and pruning of lower-profit operations. Q1 results were mixed but overall positive, in our view. We maintain our Hold recommendation on shares.
