Across the 50 most recent natural-resources rounds shown, one disclosed check stands far above the rest: Artemis Gold raised $507M on 2025-08-12, while the next-largest disclosed amounts are $345M (Denison Mines Corp on 2025-08-12) and $87M (Gold Candle on 2025-09-18). The disclosed amounts below that are comparatively clustered in smaller tiers, with multiple $3M–$25M rounds (for example, Regency Silver $3M on 2025-08-22; Waterly $4M on 2025-08-14; Green Minerals $25M on 2025-07-02).
Date-wise, activity concentrates in a narrow late-summer window: many rounds land between 2025-08-11 and 2025-08-22 (e.g., Gold Candle 2025-09-18 is later, but Denison Mines Corp, Artemis Gold, Stillwater Critical Minerals, and other August 12 entries cluster tightly). Geography also leans heavily toward Vancouver, British Columbia (Benz Mining is in Vancouver on 2025-08-20; Snowline Gold 2025-08-14; GR Silver Mining 2025-07-28; several others), while Toronto, Ontario repeats as a second concentration (Gold Candle 2025-09-18; Purepoint Uranium Group 2025-08-13; Denison Mines Corp 2025-08-12; Revival Gold 2025-07-10). Stage reporting is mixed: 20 of 50 rows are “Series Unknown,” and 2 of 50 are “undisclosed” (Baniql 2025-10-17; Founders Metals 2025-08-20). Rounds span from 2025-06-19 (oldest shown: Canadian Gold $200K on 2025-06-19) through 2025-10-17 (most recent shown: Baniql on 2025-10-17).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed natural-resources round here, and is it an outlier versus the rest?
Artemis Gold’s $507M on 2025-08-12 is the dominant disclosed amount in the table; the next-largest disclosed rounds are $345M (Denison Mines Corp, 2025-08-12) and $87M (Gold Candle, 2025-09-18). Everything else is well below those levels, with many rounds in the single-digit millions (e.g., Waterly $4M on 2025-08-14; Silver Crown Royalties $4M on 2025-08-28).
Do specific cities over-represent among these 50 rounds?
Vancouver, British Columbia is a clear cluster, appearing repeatedly across dates such as Snowline Gold ($58M, 2025-08-14) and GR Silver Mining ($12M, 2025-07-28), along with multiple other Vancouver-based entries in June–August 2025. Toronto, Ontario also repeats frequently (Gold Candle $87M on 2025-09-18; Purepoint Uranium Group $4M on 2025-08-13; Revival Gold $11M on 2025-07-10), though on fewer distinct dates than Vancouver.
Which part of the calendar dominates the recent activity window?
The densest concentration is late summer 2025, especially around mid-August: multiple entries close between 2025-08-11 and 2025-08-22 (e.g., Benz Mining $19M on 2025-08-20; Waterly $4M on 2025-08-14; Artemis Gold $507M on 2025-08-12; Stillwater Critical Minerals $6M on 2025-08-12). The oldest shown date is 2025-06-19 (Canadian Gold $200K), while the most recent is 2025-10-17 (Baniql, undisclosed).
How does stage classification skew across the list?
“Series Unknown” is the largest category at 20 of 50 rows (for example, Gold Candle uses “Venture - Series Unknown” on 2025-09-18, and Silver Crown Royalties uses “Series Unknown” on 2025-08-28). “Seed” appears on 3 rows (e.g., Baniql is Seed, 2025-10-17, and Waterly is Series A, not Seed), while 2 rows have undisclosed amounts (Baniql on 2025-10-17; Founders Metals on 2025-08-20).
Are there unusually small or unusually large disclosed amounts besides the top outlier?
The smallest disclosed amount is $140K (Torr Metals on 2025-06-26). At the other end, after Artemis Gold’s $507M, large checks like Denison Mines Corp’s $345M (2025-08-12) and Snowline Gold’s $58M (2025-08-14) are the main standouts, while many other rounds sit between $1M and $25M (e.g., Green Minerals $25M on 2025-07-02; Sierra Madre $14M on 2025-07-15).
How many rounds fall into the two extremes of disclosure—undisclosed amounts and the dominant disclosed tiers?
Undisclosed amounts appear 2 times: Baniql (undisclosed, 2025-10-17) and Founders Metals (undisclosed, 2025-08-20). In contrast, most disclosed rounds cluster below the largest two checks: even the next-largest disclosed after $507M are $345M and $87M, while many other listed amounts are modest (for example $220K on 2025-07-08 for Record Resources, and $760K on 2025-08-19 for Canadian Metals).
