BAY
ASTON BAY HOLDINGS LTD
stock CVE

I’ve been comparing a few smaller copper names trading in a similar price and valuation range.
$CQX — C$0.09 | \~C$10.7M market cap
$BCU — C$0.08 | \~C$11.6M market cap
$BAY — C$0.05 | \~C$12.6M market cap
$CRD — C$0.07 | \~C$7.1M market cap
The numbers are close, but the setups are very different.
$CQX has several 2026 programs across Rip, Stars and Kitimat, along with its Alpine gold project.
$BCU is a more concentrated Arizona porphyry play, with Big Sandy and a 2026 joint-venture drill program at Perseverance.
$BAY owns a 20% interest in Storm that is free-carried until a decision to mine. Storm also has an initial copper resource, giving $BAY a different funding and dilution profile.
$CRD is advancing Ben Nevis in Ontario, where 36 exploration targets have been identified, including seven high-priority conductors.
I lean toward $CQX and $BAY here. $CQX gives me exposure to several company-led programs, while $BAY offers a free-carried interest in a project that already has an initial resource. One gives me several ways to see progress, while the other has less direct funding pressure at Storm before a decision to mine.
At these valuations, which setup would you choose and what would be your deciding factor?
