Ecora Resources Pivots From Coal to Copper-Led Critical Minerals Royalties at Investor Conference Market Beat Wed, May 6, 2026 at 9:55 PM GMT+7 6 min read ECOR.L HG=F Ecora Resources logo Key Points Ecora has pivoted from coal to critical minerals, with copper now about 50% of net asset value and critical minerals expected to account for roughly 65%–70% of income in 2025 as coal (notably Kestrel) becomes a waning contributor.
Its nine-royalty, cash-producing portfolio generated around $60 million last year and management expects organic growth to lift revenues to over $100 million by the end of the decade, driven by producing assets (Voisey’s Bay, Mantos Blancos, Mimbula) and near-term catalysts like Santo Domingo FID and Phalaborwa studies.
Ecora says no further capital is required to deliver this growth, is prioritizing deleveraging (net debt reduced to $85m) and per-share growth over buybacks, and emphasizes an ~80% base-metals portfolio with ~85% exposure in OECD/Brazil to limit geographic risk.
