Thesis Summary

International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (THM) is a pre-revenue, single-asset development company focused entirely on its 100%-owned Livengood Gold Project in Alaska. The investment case transitioned from survival to active development in January 2026 following a transformative $115 million equity financing. This capital injection funds a multi-year program, including a 3,000-meter feasibility drilling campaign and detailed engineering. While the project represents one of North America's largest undeveloped gold resources (9 million ounces of proven and probable reserves), its low-grade nature (0.65 g/t) makes its economics highly sensitive to gold price fluctuations and capital cost inflation. Given the long timeline to commercial production (estimated post-2030) and the lack of near-term cash flows, a Hold rating is assigned, making it a highly leveraged speculative option on long-term gold prices.

Scenarios · 12-month scenario targetsAnchored at research date

Bear CaseDownside scenario

Gold prices experience a severe downturn, falling below $2,500/oz, which renders the low-grade Livengood deposit economically marginal. The feasibility study reveals higher-than-expected capital cost inflation, pushing the required construction capex beyond $2.2 billion. Permitting delays in Alaska prolong the pre-construction phase, and the high cash burn rate of active technical studies depletes the treasury faster than anticipated, forcing further dilutive equity raises.

Base CaseCentral scenario

The company successfully executes its Phase 1 feasibility study contracts and completes the 3,000m drilling program on time. Working capital of $115 million provides a comfortable multi-year runway, eliminating near-term dilution risks. Gold prices stabilize above $4,000/oz, keeping the project's massive resource economically viable. The company continues to de-risk the asset, making it an attractive target for a major mining joint-venture partner.

Bull CaseUpside scenario

The Livengood Gold Project represents a significant long-term development asset. Continued feasibility progress, successful permitting, improved project economics, stronger gold prices, and potential strategic partnerships could strengthen investor confidence over time. Recent appointment of the feasibility study team demonstrates continued project advancement.

Scenarios reflect our research view at the research date.

Key Investment Merits

Holds 100% interest in the Livengood Gold Project, representing one of the largest undeveloped gold resources in North America with 9.0 million ounces of proven and probable reserves.
Strong liquidity position with $115.0 million in working capital as of March 31, 2026, fully funding the feasibility study and permitting roadmap.
Excellent infrastructure advantages, located adjacent to a year-round paved highway only 70 miles from Fairbanks and 50 miles from the electric grid, eliminating the need for an expensive remote camp.
High leverage to gold prices, with project NPV expanding exponentially at higher commodity price assumptions.

Key Investment Risks

Single-asset risk with no operating revenues, resulting in ongoing net losses and cash burn.
Low-grade nature of the deposit (0.65 g/t average reserve grade) requires a massive scale of operation (65,000 tons per day) to be economically viable, making it highly sensitive to cost inflation.
Enormous initial capital expenditure requirement (estimated at ~$1.9 billion) will require substantial dilutive financing or a major joint-venture partner to construct.
High shareholder concentration, with Paulson & Co. holding approximately 34% of outstanding shares, giving them outsized influence over corporate decisions.

Thesis Invalidation Triggers

A sustained drop in gold prices below $2,500 per troy ounce.
Feasibility study results indicating initial capital expenditures exceeding $2.2 billion.
Inability to secure necessary environmental permits or water rights from Alaskan regulatory bodies.
Significant delays or cost overruns in the Phase 1 feasibility study timeline.
