Atalaya Mining reports record EBITDA and net cash, cuts 2026 capex by €20 million

Nittetsu Mining has restored access at its Arqueros Copper Mine project, where plant construction continues, with management targeting production within the current fiscal year. The update comes after a choppy stretch for the stock, which has retreated 16.01% over the past month while still posting a 27.02% 90 day share price return and a 37.61% year to date share price return. The shares now trade on a P/E of 15.2x based on the last close of ¥3,070, above the JP Metals and Mining industry average P/E of 11.3x and a peer average of 14.3x, a premium the company's 91.5% earnings growth over the past year and improved net profit margin of 7%, up from 4.1%, may help justify. A discounted cash flow estimate of ¥956.03 per share, however, frames the stock as overvalued on that measure, and the company's Return on Equity of 10.5% is described as low. The narrative could break if Arqueros faces fresh project delays or if earnings soften.

Cyprium Metals has achieved key commissioning milestones at its Nifty Copper Complex in Western Australia as it advances heap leach operations and prepares for first copper cathode production. Executive chairman Matt Fifield said commissioning is progressing across the heap leach operation while pre-commissioning work on the solvent extraction and electrowinning plant nears completion, with targeted injection flow rates reached through direct injection leaching after more than a year of trials. Early results showed copper recovery responding quickly to acid injection, with copper-to-acid ratios performing better than initially anticipated, and grade control drilling reconciled within approximately 5% of the existing mineral resource block model. The company has established 212 production and monitoring wells, providing access to approximately 1.7 million tonnes of material and supporting an estimated six to eight months of planned production under conservative recovery assumptions. Remaining milestones before wet commissioning include installation of programmable logic controller controls and energisation of the SXEW plant, following the introduction of high-voltage power to the plant infrastructure.
