John Newell of John Newell & Associates explains why he believes Storm Exploration Inc. (STRM:TSX.V) is a Speculative Buy.

Storm Exploration Inc. (STRM:TSX.V) is a Canadian high-grade gold exploration company advancing three 100% owned district-scale projects in Northwest Ontario. With approximately 20.7 million shares outstanding and a market capitalization near CA$4.1 million, the company maintains one of the tighter capital structures in the junior gold exploration space.

The company recently completed the sale of its Miminiska Project for CA$5.8 million and outlined its 2026 exploration plans. That transaction strengthens the balance sheet and provides access to non-dilutive capital while allowing management to focus on the Gold Standard, Keezhik, and Attwood projects. All three are located within proven greenstone belts in a region that has produced more than 200 million ounces of gold.

Storm now holds 100% ownership across its projects and has signed exploration agreements with the relevant First Nations communities in whose traditional territories it operates. This provides operational clarity as programs advance.

About the Company

Storm’s portfolio is positioned in established geological corridors with confirmed precious metal and critical mineral endowment.

The Gold Standard Property is a 100% owned district-scale project hosting both high-grade gold targets and base metal potential. Grab samples collected by Storm near past workings returned grades up to 166 g/t gold. A large conductivity anomaly suggests the potential presence of a volcanogenic massive sulphide system. The property is road accessible, with ground surveys planned ahead of drill testing.

The Keezhik Property covers 12,480 hectares along the same regional structure that hosts the +6 million-ounce Musselwhite Mine.

The property contains eight drill-confirmed high-grade gold targets and has not been drilled since 1988. Historical intercepts include 25.8 g/t gold over 1.3 metres and 16.2 g/t gold over 2.0 metres. Airborne EM surveys and drill target development are planned ahead of renewed drill plans.

The Attwood Property spans 23,230 hectares of underexplored geology with both precious metal and critical mineral potential. Only 19 historical drill holes have been completed, with the last drilling occurring in 1972.

The property hosts the historical Weese Lake copper showing and several large untested EM anomalies. High-resolution geophysical surveys, soil sampling, and geological mapping are planned.

Management and Share Structure

Storm is led by Bruce Counts, P.Geo., President, CEO, and Director, who is responsible for the company’s technical direction. He is supported by Taylor Niezen, B.Comm., as CFO and Corporate Secretary.

Independent directors include Rob L’Heuruex, P.Geo., Alexander Shaw, and Joanne Price, P.Geo. The advisory team includes capital markets, technical, First Nations, and ESG advisors, providing a broad base of experience appropriate for an early-stage exploration company.

Storm has approximately 20.7 million shares issued and outstanding. There are 4.0 million warrants outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of CA$0.48 and 1.5 million options with a weighted average exercise price of CA$1.28. The current share price is approximately CA$0.20, giving the company a market capitalization of roughly CA$4.1 million.

The recent property sale provides access to non-dilutive capital, reducing immediate financing pressure while exploration programs advance.

Technical Analysis

The updated chart reflects a multi-month base structure following a prior decline and recovery phase. Price has largely traded between approximately CA$0.17 on the downside and CA$0.32 to CA$0.34 on the upside.

The 50-day and 200-day moving averages have flattened, reflecting a neutral intermediate trend. RSI remains near mid-range, indicating neither overbought nor oversold conditions.

Key resistance remains in the CA$ 0.32 to CA$ 0.34 range. Support appears near CA$0.17 to CA$0.18.

If price breaks above established resistance, the defined technical levels are:

• First target: CA$0.45
• Second target: CA$0.55
• Third target: CA$0.95
• Big picture target: CA$1.40

These levels correspond to prior supply zones and measured move projections derived from the base formation.

Conclusion

Storm Exploration Inc. (STRM:TSXV) combines 100% ownership of three district-scale projects in a prolific gold jurisdiction, established First Nations agreements, a tight share structure, and access to non-dilutive capital following the recent asset sale.

At current levels near CA$0.20, Storm Exploration Inc. (STRM:TSXV) represents a Speculative Buy for investors comfortable with early-stage exploration risk and the volatility inherent in microcap gold companies.
