Ecora Resources PLC

Ecora Resources reported a strong first half of 2026, with total portfolio contribution rising 75% year over year to £31.3 million, driven by growth in its base-metals portfolio and higher commodity prices. Adjusted earnings grew more than fivefold, and the company declared a dividend of 1.9 pence per share, more than three times the comparable 2025 payment. Net debt fell to £75 million from £125 million a year earlier, with management targeting approximately £50 million by year-end. Key assets like Voisey's Bay and Mantos Blancos drove performance, benefiting from higher cobalt and copper prices and ongoing expansions. Ecora plans to continue deleveraging while using its £225 million total borrowing capacity to pursue acquisitions focused on copper and other critical minerals.

Ecora Royalties PLC has announced the amounts for its 2025 final dividend in Sterling and Canadian Dollars.
