Strategic Minerals boosts tungsten recovery and confirms silver upside at Redmoor

An announcement from Strategic Minerals ( (GB:SML) ) is now available.

Strategic Minerals reported a major improvement in metallurgical performance at its Redmoor project, with overall tungsten recovery rising from 72.0% to 85.8%, a 19.2% relative uplift, following comprehensive flowsheet testwork. As tungsten is the primary economic driver at Redmoor, the enhanced recovery metrics are set to feed into an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and economic assessment, potentially strengthening project economics.

The study also confirmed that silver is recoverable within the copper circuit, with 58.7% silver recovery at a grade of 270 g/t in copper concentrate, allowing silver to be treated as a smelter credit in future economic modelling. While tin and copper recoveries remain broadly unchanged, the metallurgical programme identified process improvement options to be tested during the prefeasibility study, underlining Redmoor’s growing economic potential amid higher tungsten prices.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SML) stock is a Buy with a £3.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Strategic Minerals stock, see the GB:SML Stock Forecast page.

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.
