Cobra launches resource drilling to scale up ISR rare earths at Wudinna

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Cobra Resources Plc ( (GB:COBR) ) has shared an announcement.

Cobra Resources has begun resource definition drilling at its Wudinna rare earth prospects, Boland and Head, using two Sonic Core rigs in a campaign of up to 90 holes over roughly 4,500 metres. The programme, expected to run for four to six weeks with first lab results in early April, is designed to deliver a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for in situ recoverable heavy rare earths, following successful metallurgical and hydrology work.

The Boland project features a novel ionic rare earth mineralisation hosted in permeable geology that supports confined aquifer in situ recovery, enabling low-cost extraction while avoiding the processing challenges of clay ores and reducing environmental risk. Recent test work, including studies by ANSTO and CSIRO, indicates low acid use, potential for self-acid generation, efficient cerium suppression and high-purity mixed rare earth carbonate production, positioning Cobra to progress a scoping study and potentially underpin a multigenerational, economically competitive rare earth operation.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:COBR) stock is a Hold with a £4.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Cobra Resources Plc stock, see the GB:COBR Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:COBR Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:COBR is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (no revenue, ongoing losses, and sustained cash burn), partially mitigated by a debt-free balance sheet. Technicals are a key positive with price above major moving averages and healthy momentum. Valuation remains unattractive/unclear due to negative earnings and no dividend yield data.
