A small explorer centred on historic silver workings

Forty Pillars Mining Corp. (CN:PLLR) is a Vancouver-based mineral exploration company whose principal focus is the Silver Dollar Project in the Greenwood Mining Division of British Columbia, alongside optioned gold ground in Newfoundland and Quebec. As of 4 November 2026, the Investment theme around the company rests on early-stage sampling of historic silver-gold workings rather than on any defined resource, Revenue or production.

The Canadian Securities Exchange listing page shows the shares trading under the symbol PLLR in Canadian dollars, with an active listing dating from 31 May 2021. The same page records 64,470,712 common shares issued and outstanding and a further 8,397,425 reserved for issuance. The company's chief executive officer is Nader Vatanchi, who is named as the contact on its recent news releases.

Exchange listing and index status

Forty Pillars is listed on the CSE rather than the TSX or TSX Venture Exchange. The CSE listing page states that the company is not a member of the CSE Index.

The last traded price was C$0.015 on 29 September 2026, giving a Market Capitalisation of under C$1 million and a 52-week range of C$0.015 to C$0.07. These figures indicate only the company's very small scale.

Silver Dollar: what the 2026 sampling showed

The Silver Dollar Project comprises ten contiguous claims covering about 3,345 hectares, including two Crown grants, roughly 15 kilometres north-north-east of Trout Lake and some 45 to 50 kilometres from Revelstoke. On 25 March 2026 Forty Pillars reported results from a two-day field programme conducted by Coast Mountain Geological Ltd., which collected 26 rock samples, 19 of them grab samples and seven channel samples.

The company highlighted a channel sample returning 2.92 g/t gold and 103 g/t silver over one metre from a newly identified historical working, a grab sample of 10.68 g/t gold and 140 g/t silver at the Silver Dollar past-producer, and a grab sample of 4.96 g/t gold and 129 g/t silver at the Beatrice past-producer. Several samples exceeded one per cent lead and zinc, and anomalous copper and antimony were reported. Management interprets the Silver Dollar and Beatrice prospects, more than a kilometre apart, as part of an under-explored silver-gold corridor along the Camborne fault system.

These results need to be read with caution. Grab samples are selective by nature and do not represent average grades, and the programme was short. The work is an early indication of mineralisation, not a measure of tonnage or economic potential.

Optioned ground in Newfoundland and Quebec

Beyond British Columbia, Forty Pillars holds Options to acquire a 100 per cent interest in the Golden Link project, about 21 kilometres north of Gander in central Newfoundland, and in the Val-d'Or North property in the Abitibi sub-province of Quebec. A January 2026 release described Golden Link as drill-ready ground in the Newfoundland gold belt.

Funding, Balance Sheet and dividends

In February 2026 the company announced a non-brokered private Placement of up to ten million units at C$0.05, and in early March it reported closing 10,710,000 units for gross proceeds of C$535,500. Each unit carries one share and one Warrant exercisable at C$0.10 until 2 March 2028; the warrant term was shortened from the five years originally proposed to 24 months. Finder's fees of C$32,580 in cash and 651,600 finder's warrants were paid, and the proceeds were earmarked for Working Capital and general corporate purposes rather than a defined exploration budget.

For the fiscal year ended 28 February 2026, annual figures show, in Canadian dollars, total Assets of about C$2.42 million, total liabilities of about C$0.97 million, Short-Term Debt of about C$0.17 million and shareholders' Equity of about C$1.45 million, with negligible reported cash at year-end. The movement in the accumulated Deficit implies a loss of roughly C$1.7 million for the year, although that figure is derived rather than stated directly.

Forty Pillars does not pay a dividend. As a pre-revenue explorer it funds itself through equity.

Governance and reporting changes

On 12 May 2026 the company announced that Shaun Saini had joined the board, replacing Mark Ireton, who resigned as a director. His described background is in Business development and start-up capital raising rather than geology.

On 20 July 2026 Forty Pillars said it had adopted semi-annual financial reporting under British Columbia Securities Commission Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933, which allows eligible venture issuers to stop filing first- and third-quarter interim statements. With a 28 February year-end, the company no longer expects to file interim reports for quarters ending 31 May and 30 November while it remains eligible. Financial updates will therefore be less frequent.

Key risks and what to watch

The risks are typical of an early-stage junior but are amplified by the company's size. Its balance sheet is thin, it has no revenue, and further dilution is likely if it is to fund fieldwork, option payments and corporate costs. Outstanding warrants priced at C$0.10 sit well above the recent trading levels, so they may provide little near-term funding. Exploration results rest on a handful of surface samples.

Silver and gold prices largely determine how readily juniors like this can raise money. Disclosed milestones are sparse: the company has not published a dated drilling programme for Silver Dollar, Golden Link or Val-d'Or North. Investors following the stock may wish to watch for a funded follow-up programme at Silver Dollar, disclosure of option terms and any drilling on Golden Link, and the next semi-annual financial statements.
