11:41 AM EDT, 10/02/2025 (MT Newswires) -- National Bank of Canada maintained its Outperform rating and $4.25 price target for Foran Mining (FMCXF) after a site tour of the McIlvenna Bay project in Saskatchewan.

The site was significantly further advanced since the bank's last visit in October 2023, with construction 56% complete and progressing 6-8% per month.

Management emphasized that their focus is turning toward operational readiness to support the mid-2026 commercial production target. National Bank noted that Foran has elected to build up a larger ore stockpile of nearly 500,000 tonnes, versus the 275,000 initially planned to help de-risk reliance on underground mining rates during mill commissioning.

Exploration remains a long-term value driver and core to the investment thesis, National Bank said.

With 98% detailed engineering and major capital purchases completed, the latest $680-$969 million cost-to-complete estimate is focused on managing labour and perfect execution on schedule.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
