The two-gate Shariah screen
Every screener on this site runs the same two gates: first, the business must be halal (no conventional insurance, banking, alcohol, gambling, weapons manufacturing, and the like); second, the financial ratios must clear (debt under roughly 33% of market cap, non-compliant income under roughly 5%).
Gate one: the business — no haram lines identified
Lundin Gold is a gold mining company headquartered in Vancouver, listed on the TSX and Nasdaq Stockholm (and OTCQX as LUGDF). It operates the 100%-owned Fruta del Norte underground gold mine in southeast Ecuador — described as one of the highest-grade gold mines in the world — and holds a portfolio of exploration concessions nearby. In Q2 2026 it sold 110,385 oz of gold (79,444 oz as concentrate, 30,941 oz as doré). In 2026 it also entered a silver stream with LunR Royalties Corp. — exchanging 100% of Fruta del Norte's payable silver production (until 12.2 Moz delivered, then 50% to 20 Moz, then 7.5% thereafter) for 50,505,051 LunR shares (distributed as a dividend-in-kind to shareholders on June 11, 2026). No alcohol, gambling, conventional-lending/insurance, or other haram lines are disclosed.
Gate two: the ratios — zero debt; income gate clears
At June 30, 2026 (unaudited Q2 2026 interim statements): Lundin Gold carries US$0 of interest-bearing debt — the senior facility, gold prepay, and stream loan were all fully repaid in 2023, and the balance sheet shows no long-term debt line (H1 2026 finance expense was just US$52,000). Debt-to-market-cap is therefore 0% — under the ~33% ceiling. One caveat: the balance sheet shows a US$690.345 million silver stream obligation to LunR Royalties — a fair-value liability settled via silver deliveries, not interest — which is not counted as interest-bearing debt; investors who prefer to treat streaming obligations as debt may prefer to exclude the stock. Cash was US$507.130 million, and market cap is about C$20.8 billion (~241.8 million shares at ~C$85.93, September 28, 2026). Finance income — interest on the cash pile — was US$5.897 million in Q2 2026 against revenue of US$477.692 million (1.23%), and US$12.240 million in H1 2026 against revenue of US$1,045.072 million (1.17%) — well under the ~5% ceiling.
