Capital Metals plc ( (GB:CMET) ) has shared an update.
Capital Metals has largely completed key engineering studies for the first stage of its Taprobane project in Sri Lanka, securing a fixed lump-sum plant contract, finalising site access and hydrogeology work, and advancing mine planning, which has enabled it to cut initial capital expenditure from US$20.9 million to US$17.7 million. These steps materially de-risk the project and improve cost certainty as the company approaches a final investment decision.
Alongside technical progress, the company is intensifying community engagement and ESG initiatives, expanding its Sri Lankan team and launching Coastal Regeneration Centres to support rehabilitation and coastal resilience. Regulatory momentum is also building, with an environmental impact assessment for a southern licence moving forward, a new national minerals policy expected to streamline approvals, and project funding discussions advancing with lenders and potential strategic industry partners.
