On May 27, 2026, Matthew O'Keefe of Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated a Buy rating and CA$2.20 price target on West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (WRLG:TSX.V; WRLGF:OTCQX; UJO:FSE), implying a 214% return from the May 27, 2026, closing price of CA$0.70, following the company's Q1/2026 financial and operating results.

Q1/2026 Operating Results

The Madsen Mine produced 5,667 oz of gold in Q1/2026, with 6,165 oz sold at a cash cost of US$2,594/oz and an AISC of US$4,678/oz. The mine achieved commercial production at the start of 2026 and continues to ramp up, with output expected to be weighted toward H2/2026.

Underground development progressed through April and May across ore movement and mill throughput, consistent with the company's planned ramp-up strategy.

Q1/2026 Financial Results

An average realized gold price of US$4,938/oz drove gold revenue of CA$41.8MM, with income from mining operations of CA$15.3MM and an operating margin of 37%. Adjusted EBITDA reached CA$14.4MM, while adjusted net earnings were CA$6.4MM, or CA$0.02 per basic share.

The company reported a GAAP net loss of CA$4.7MM.

Capital expenditures totaled approximately CA$19MM, driven largely by ongoing mine development at Madsen. WRLG exited Q1/2026 with cash of CA$35.9MM against long-term debt of CA$93.6MM.

2026 Guidance Unchanged

Full-year 2026 production guidance remains at 35–45 Koz Au, with cash costs of US$2,400–US$3,100/oz and AISC of US$2,800–US$3,600/oz. Approximately 60% of annual production is expected in H2/2026.

The elevated costs in Q1/2026 reflect the ongoing development intensity and limited mining fronts currently available, with underground development work continuing to expand access to higher-grade areas.

Valuation & Outlook

O'Keefe values WRLG on an equally weighted 0.6x NAV/6.0x 2027E CFPS basis, yielding the CA$2.20/share price target. The Madsen Mine carries a post-tax NPV5% of CA$1,360.6MM based on a long-term gold price assumption of US$4,000/oz, a projected mine life of 14 years, and mill throughput of 800 tpd. Consolidated Measured & Indicated resources stand at 7,386 Kt at 7.78 g/t for 1,849 Koz Au, with an additional 2,230 Kt Inferred at 6.72 g/t for 482 Koz Au.

Cantor's model projects total revenues rising to CA$354.2MM in 2027E and net income of CA$255.0MM, compared to 2026E estimates of CA$198.9MM and CA$78.6MM, respectively. O'Keefe expects WRLG's valuation multiples to expand as the company demonstrates consistent delivery against its production and cost guidance through 2026 and into 2027.
