JX Advanced Metals Buys 5% Stake in Fireweed Metals to Secure Critical Resources

JX Advanced Metals Corporation ( (JP:5016) ) has shared an update.

JX Advanced Metals Corporation has agreed to invest CAD 47 million for a 5% stake in Canada-based Fireweed Metals, a Lundin Group exploration and development company focused on critical minor metals including tungsten, gallium, and germanium. The move aims to secure future offtake opportunities and strengthen long-term supply of key inputs for JX Advanced Metals’ semiconductor-focused businesses as demand for advanced chips accelerates amid the rise of generative AI.

The investment, funded by proceeds from the divestment of JX Advanced Metals’ interest in the Caserones Copper Mine, forms part of a broader portfolio transformation toward growth in advanced materials. By selectively participating in upstream resource projects such as Fireweed’s Mactung tungsten project, the company seeks to enhance supply-chain resilience, support sustainable growth of its Focus Businesses, and advance its Long-Term Vision 2040, with limited impact expected on near-term earnings.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:5016) stock is a Buy with a Yen4300.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on JX Advanced Metals Corporation stock, see the JP:5016 Stock Forecast page.
