Expanded Drilling Program: Wallbridge plans to drill approximately 25,000 metres across its Martiniere, Fenelon, Casault, and Grasset projects in 2026, representing a 30% increase over 2025, which will significantly enhance the company's competitive position in gold exploration.
Focus on Martiniere: The company aims to complete around 17,000 metres of drilling at Martiniere to further evaluate the scale and continuity of the gold system, thereby laying the groundwork for future resource delineation and increasing project value.
Progress at Fenelon: Approximately 3,500 metres of drilling is planned for the Fenelon project, including 2,000 metres to support metallurgical testing, which will provide critical data for future economic studies and advance the project towards a pre-feasibility study.
Favorable Market Conditions: With favorable market conditions and record gold prices, Wallbridge will enhance its marketing plans and expand exploration and development programs to increase market visibility and create long-term shareholder value.

Reason
Bernstein initiated coverage of WM with an Outperform rating and $255 price target. The firm is positive on the Waste Industry, which stands ahead of an inflection point in free cash flow growth, trading at a decade-low relative valuation. Bernstein believes this is a well-timed initiation: the core solid-waste business is set to improve, while new non-core RNG and Recycling investments become incremental to profitability starting next year. The firm sees upside to consensus estimates and potential multiple expansion in 2026, contingent on solid execution.
