Bedford Metals Corp (BFM:CA) is launching an ambitious 2025 exploration program at its Sheppard Lake Uranium Project in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin.
The campaign includes airborne geophysics, groundwork, and diamond drilling, signaling confidence in unlocking new value.

Despite bold exploration plans, stock performance remains troubling:
- YTD return: -38.89%
- 1-year loss: -72.07% (bottom 4.52% in sector)
- Last close: CAD 0.31
However, the stock sees steady engagement with an average daily volume of 47,577 and a market cap of C$25.1M.
Analysts Split: Speculative Buy vs Bearish Outlook
One Analyst rates Bedford as a “Strong Buy” with a target of CAD 1.40, implying a 351.61% upside. But Stock Target Advisor remains bearish, citing:
- 1 positive vs. 4 negative signals
- Concerns over volatility and overvaluation
