"Dakota Gold has consolidated a large land package covering the direct northern extension of the Homestake mine," he added.



"The proximity and geological similarities to the long-running Homestake mine suggest potential for scale at the JB Gold Zone," the analyst wrote.



"Dakota&#8217;s management team has strong ties to the Homestake district and relevant experience in advancing exploration projects," Mikitchook stated. He further stated the JB Gold Zone could become "the main valuation driver" for Dakota Gold.



DC Price Action: Shares of Dakota Gold had declined 4.69% to $2.24 at the time of publication on Friday.
