The latest update is out from Denarius Metals Corp ( (TSE:DMET) ).

Rio Narcea Recursos S.A., the Denarius Metals-led joint venture that owns the Aguablanca nickel-copper project in Spain, has launched a “best efforts” marketed offering of up to US$20 million in 12% secured notes to finance the restart of the operation. The five-year, asset-backed notes, which are non-recourse to Denarius and secured by RNR’s mining and processing assets, will fund dewatering, underground rehabilitation, start-up capital expenditures and working capital, with part of the proceeds escrowed to cover the first year of interest. Parallel refurbishment and commissioning of the 5,000 tpd processing plant are being advanced under a staged program with METSO Spain S.A., while specialized contractors handle mine and tailings dewatering, with the aim of returning the underground mine to production by late 2026, contingent on the successful completion of the financing.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:DMET) stock is a Sell with a C$0.55 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Denarius Metals Corp stock, see the TSE:DMET Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:DMET Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:DMET is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (large losses, persistent cash burn, and rising leverage). Technicals are neutral-to-risky (flat trend with an overbought RSI), while valuation offers limited support due to negative earnings and no dividend. Offsetting these, corporate updates are constructive (permits, resource upgrade, early production and financing activity).
