Element 29 Resources ( (TSE:ECU) ) just unveiled an update.

Element 29 Resources has received Declaración de Impacto Ambiental (DIA) environmental certification from Peru’s Ministry of Energy and Mines for its Elida porphyry Cu-Mo-Ag deposit, a key step toward obtaining a new drilling permit that would significantly expand the number of authorized drill platforms from 20 to 40 and extend the timeframe for exploration. Together with a recently signed five-year access agreement with the host community and ongoing drilling under its existing permit, the approval advances the company’s ability to continue exploring beyond its current pit-constrained mineral resource estimate and systematically evaluate the larger hydrothermal alteration footprint at Elida, reinforcing the project’s development potential and the company’s longer-term growth prospects in a strong market for copper, molybdenum and silver.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:ECU) stock is a Hold with a C$1.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Element 29 Resources stock, see the TSE:ECU Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:ECU Stock

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

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (no revenue, ongoing losses, and negative free cash flow despite a low-debt balance sheet). Technicals are a meaningful positive with the stock above major moving averages and a positive MACD, while valuation is constrained by negative earnings and no dividend. A positive exploration acceleration event adds modest support but does not offset the current cash-burn profile.
