An update from Fortune Minerals ( (TSE:FT) ) is now available.
Fortune Minerals has completed validation test work on an optimized hydrometallurgical flowsheet for its NICO project, confirming it can produce battery-grade cobalt sulphate heptahydrate with higher metal recoveries and a simplified process. Bench-scale tests at SGS Canada showed improved cobalt, copper, and gold extraction rates compared with a 2008 pilot plant, while also demonstrating that a direct pre-neutralization step can remove nearly all arsenic without cobalt losses, potentially lowering capital and operating costs at the planned Alberta refinery. The resulting cobalt sulphate product met stringent 99.99% purity and impurity specifications from lithium-ion battery manufacturers, reinforcing the NICO project’s potential role as a reliable North American source of critical battery materials, supported by Canadian and U.S. government funding initiatives.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:FT) stock is a Hold with a C$0.11 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Fortune Minerals stock, see the TSE:FT Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on TSE:FT Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:FT is a Neutral.
The score is primarily held down by weak financial performance—no revenue, widening losses, accelerating cash burn, and a highly stressed balance sheet with negative equity. Technicals provide partial support as the stock trades above key moving averages, but valuation remains constrained by negative earnings and no dividend.
