Strategic Minerals ( (GB:SML) ) has provided an update.

Strategic Minerals reported 2025 revenues of $4.2m from its Cobre magnetite operation, with margins rising to 85%, while profit before tax fell to $0.7m due to non-cash share-based charges, lower Cobre earnings, board restructuring costs and increased spending on its Redmoor project. Year-end cash rose to $777,000 and was further strengthened by £8.7m raised in early 2026 to fund infill drilling and a pre-feasibility study at Redmoor.

Operationally, the company accelerated development of Redmoor, completing over 5,000m of drilling, upgrading facilities and expanding its technical team, which led to a 49% increase in inferred resources and confirmed Redmoor as one of Europe’s highest-grade undeveloped tungsten projects. Cobre delivered its third-highest annual ore sales and secured extended stockpile access to 2029, while Strategic Minerals advanced the planned sale of its Leigh Creek copper asset, underpinning a strategy to redeploy cash flows and potential disposal proceeds into fast-tracking Redmoor towards production.

Spark’s Take on SML Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SML is a Neutral.

The score is primarily supported by improved 2024 financial performance and strong technical uptrend signals. It is materially constrained by expensive valuation (high P/E and no dividend yield data) and technical overbought indicators that elevate near-term risk.
