Red Cloud Securities published a report on Blackwolf that rated the company as a "Buy" for investors and named a target price of CA$0.55 for the company

Morgan Lekstrom, the CEO of Blackwolf, stated, "We are elated to see such strong support from our strategic shareholder, Mr. Frank Giustra, and strong demand from new and existing shareholders."

He also commented on the success of many of the company's recent endeavors, such as drill programs and the acquisition of Optimum Ventures: "I believe this is a strong indication as to how we want to strategically grow this company.

Gold Up to US$1,932.50

Stockhead examined the Canadian metals market on October 10, 2023, and concluded that copper has now outpaced gold. The report observed that, rather than competing primarily for gold mineralization as normal, major gold corporations, such as Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX:TSX; GOLD:NYSE), are now looking to gobble up copper properties.

Gold, however, is still going strong due to global uncertainty fueled by the Israel-Hamas conflict.

In another report from Stockhead, the situation in the Middle East has caused both American traders and consumers to take a conservative position on spending: "These concerns have overshadowed the rally in U.S. banks like JP Morgan and Chase, which beat estimates in their quarterly profits." Stockhead believes that this economic anxiety has pushed up gold prices to US$1,932.50 per ounce.

139% Potential Return

On October 3, 2023, Red Cloud Securities published a report on Blackwolf that rated the company as a "Buy" for investors and named a target price of CA$0.55 for the company, representing a potential return of 139% for investors. Red Cloud cited a number of factors in its positive rating of the company, including the favorable location of the company's projects within Alaska's Golden Triangle and the fact that the company is positioned to profit from the receding glacial ice that is exposing more potential mineralization targets on the property.

Technical Analyst Clive Maund also looked at the company at the beginning of the year, on February 2, and rated the company as an "Immediate Strong Speculative Buy".

Couloir Capital also reviewed the company on June 2, 2023, where it named a target price of CA$1.28 for the company, meaning that the figure in the report from Red Cloud represents a significant increase. This report identifies the company's recently updated mineral resource update, as well as the involvement of Frank Giustra, as potential drivers for the company's value.

Technical Analyst Clive Maund also looked at the company at the beginning of the year, on February 2, and rated the company as an "Immediate Strong Speculative Buy" and commented that the company's stock trends show signs of "a major bull market ahead that will result in big percentage gains from the current low price which should prove to be a great entry point a from price and time perspective."

Blackwolf has several catalysts to report, according to its September 2023 investor presentation, including a drilling program scheduled for sometime in Q3 or Q4 of this year and assay results and field samples pending for the Cantoo project.
