Corporate News – Market Update

The share price fell 12.9 %, settling at approximately CAD 1.48 on the TSX Venture Exchange. At the time of writing, the company’s share supply stood at 167.4 million, translating into a market capitalization of CAD 158.5 million. In the preceding 24 hours, trading volume reached roughly CAD 375.5 thousand, a figure that underscores the limited liquidity surrounding the stock.
Over the longer term, Strikepoint’s price trajectory has been markedly bearish. Since the end of February, the share has declined 92.06 %, reflecting persistent investor uncertainty. The 200‑day simple moving average, which serves as a common technical indicator of trend, currently sits at CAD 16.94—well above the present trading level, thereby signaling a steep downward slope. Historical extremes further illustrate the volatility: the 52‑week high of CAD 28 was achieved on 16 March 2026, whereas the 52‑week low of CAD 0.17 fell on 5 October 2026, highlighting a price range of nearly 170 % within a single year.

Millennial Potash – A Strategic Highlight
Millennial Potash Corp. (MLP.V) is noteworthy for its recent progress on the Banio potash project in Gabon. The company announced that drill hole BA‑006 has extended potash mineralisation to roughly 120 metres, an encouraging development that may broaden the resource base. Ownership of the project has increased to 80 % following a milestone payment and additional financing support from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation. A feasibility study is slated for completion by the end of 2026, with an update to the resource estimate expected once laboratory results are available.
Strategically, the firm is pursuing a mixed‑finance model for future mine construction, integrating equity, debt, and pre‑payment commitments from buyers. Discussions are underway with agricultural firms across the United States, Brazil, and Asia to secure downstream demand. In parallel, regional infrastructure plans—including a deep‑water port and a small gas‑fired power plant—aim to support the project’s logistical needs. These developments position Millennial Potash as a potentially attractive counterpoint within a sector currently experiencing price erosion.
