Holdings reflect open-market acquisitions disclosed on the public SEDI insider register (Form 55-102F4),
matched by name to a hand-curated roster of 19 notable resource financiers and

filed, typically their flagship vehicles. Display-only research context, not investment advice and not a
Confluence Score input.
