I revalued American West Metals $AWMLF after the new pre-feasibility study (PFS) for its Storm copper project in Arctic Canada, which replaced a first-pass preliminary economic assessment (PEA). At AUD$0.029, $AWMLF’s market cap is ~US$24.6M on 1,229.6M shares, with no new shares since my August write-up. Its EV is ~US$29.2M, measured as in August (US$24.6M market cap + US$8.4M Taurus royalty liability − US$3.8M of cash). In August, I valued Storm at 0.2-0.3x $AWMLF’s share of the PEA NPV after the Taurus royalty (~US$110M), for US$22-33M. The PFS already deducts the royalty, so $AWMLF’s 80% of the US$119M base case is ~US$95M, or US$19-29M on the same multiple. Today’s ~US$29.2M EV is just above the US$19-29M range, which leaves at most ~US$10M of the EV for West Desert, its zinc-indium deposit in Utah. I’m keeping the 0.2-0.3x even with a maiden reserve, since (1) the part of the build Ocean Partners’ US$40M loan doesn’t cover tripled to US$68.3M, and (2) the higher copper price holds up the NPV. At the PEA’s US$4.60/lb, $AWMLF’s share would be ~US$41M, worth just US$8-12M at the same multiple. At spot copper, the same 0.2-0.3x of $AWMLF’s ~US$186M share is US$37-56M. At AUD$0.025, the price my bull case assumes for the next placement (a stock sale to selected investors), $AWMLF’s EV would be ~0.27x its share of Storm’s NPV, within my 0.2-0.3x range. In August, my worst case was the WD26 assays (from West Desert’s 2026 drill holes) disappointing, the PFS coming back with higher capex or weaker recoveries, and the next raise pricing at a discount instead of a premium. The PFS came back with the higher capex I flagged, the next placement will almost certainly price below the AUD$0.045 of the last two, and the assays are still pending. So I’d still put the odds of losing half or more over the next 12 months at about 1/3, which from US$0.020 means US$0.010 or lower. My August bull case (Storm at 0.4-0.5x plus US$15-25M for West Desert) now requires the DFS (the next, more detailed study) to hold the PFS’s economics and the WD26 assays to confirm the visual logs. The bull case supports US$53-73M of market value. On ~1,630M shares after an AUD$10M placement at AUD$0.025, the bull case is worth US$0.033-0.045/share, down from US$0.043-0.057 in August, when I expected the next raise to price higher (~1,400M shares after the raise). So from US$0.020/share, you’re risking a US$0.010 loss (-50%) in the worst case for a US$0.013-0.025 gain (+63% to +123%) in the bull case, before any U.S. government funding for West Desert, which none of my cases counts.

FORT Robotics, the robot-safety maker going public through the SPAC Newbury Street II $NTWO, grew revenue 53% in the first nine months of 2026 and still ended September with $1.7M of cash. The S-4 (merger filing) out November 13 says FORT's losses and low cash "initially raised substantial doubt" about the company staying in business for the next year. Management says the doubt is gone now that existing investors committed $10.0M of new SAFEs from October 21 to November 6, and FORT drew $1.5M more on its bank loans. Operating expenses grew faster than sales, mostly from hiring and from preparing to go public. After holders redeemed 82% of the public shares on October 28, the S-4 estimates $36.0-54.2M of cash at closing after costs, including the $10.0M of SAFEs. The August investor deck showed $181.8M to FORT after costs, with no redemptions. Estimated deal costs barely moved, from $19.0M in the deck to $17.8M in the S-4, so the deal spends $0.33-0.49 on costs for every $1 FORT keeps. The price stayed the same: FORT's holders still get 50.0M shares and options at $10.00 each ($500M). Newbury's board approved the $500M price without a fairness opinion (an outside adviser's view that the price is fair), and the S-4 says the board "did not receive any financial projections of Fort Robotics." At $10.89/share, the combined company's EV is ~$582M whether or not more holders redeem, or 36.7x FORT's $15.9M of TTM revenue. At the 7.5-11.2x sales multiples I used in my September 16 deep dive, FORT needs $52-78M of revenue to justify ~$582M, 3.3-4.9x its TTM revenue. In my November 8 update, I said I'd wait for the S-4 to show what the cash would fund before considering $FROB (the post-merger ticker). FORT CEO Samuel Reeves pitched the deal's cash on the August 18 investor call for product development, a bigger sales push, and acquisitions. At $36.0-54.2M, the cash looks more like runway: ~3.6-5.5 years at the ~$9.9M/year FORT burned through September.
