Ecora Resources (LSE:ECOR) has finalized an agreement to sell the subsidiary that owns its 2% Net Smelter Return royalty tied to the Dugbe Gold Project in Liberia. The buyer, Elemental Altus Royalties Corp., will pay up to $20 million under the terms of the deal. The package consists of an initial $16.5 million cash payment, supplemented by additional contingent payments. For Ecora, the divestment strengthens its balance sheet by accelerating debt reduction while freeing up capital to pursue cash-flow–generating royalties within its preferred commodity portfolio. The transaction also underscores the depth of value embedded in Ecora’s royalty assets.
The company’s recent performance has been shaped by solid technical progress and supportive strategic moves, as discussed during its earnings update. That said, weaker revenues and pressured valuation multiples have weighed on financial results. Despite these headwinds, Ecora remains committed to long-term growth, anchored by its focus on base metals and a resilient financial position.
