Over the last few months, Mako Mining announced multiple growth and capital actions. A strategic Mt. Hamilton acquisition with related streaming terms on Sep 30, 2025 and a definitive purchase agreement on Nov 26, 2025 both saw positive price reactions. Financing was strengthened via a combined C$55.25M private placement on Oct 28, 2025. Q3 2025 results on Nov 20, 2025 showed higher revenue and cash, but the stock fell. The new NCIB on Dec 3, 2025 followed this trajectory of active capital management.
