Ecora Resources sees strong 2024 results as cobalt, copper growth drive strategy
Ecora Resources PLC (LSE:ECOR, TSX:ECOR, OTCQX:ECRAF) CEO Marc Bishop Lafleche takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company’s full-year 2024 financial results and the strategic progress made across its royalty portfolio.
Lafleche reported a strong performance in 2024 despite challenging market conditions, citing volume growth at Voisey’s Bay as a key highlight, even as cobalt prices approached 50-year lows. He said, “Since year-end, actually, it's amazing how quickly things can change,” pointing to a 60–70% year-to-date increase in cobalt prices.
Ecora’s focus remained on expanding its base metals exposure, with 80% of its portfolio now weighted toward critical minerals, particularly copper. The company emphasised that royalties offer long-term exposure, with copper making up 50% of its estimated net asset value.
Lafleche also detailed major portfolio drivers for 2025, including expected volume growth from Voisey’s Bay, Mantos Blancos, and the newly acquired Mimbula Copper Stream. Looking further ahead, he highlighted potential upside from de-bottlenecking and tailings processing projects at Mantos Blancos and progress at Santo Domingo, Phalaborwa, and Piauí.
