Post the 2025 drilling campaign and updated MRE (and economic assessment) published in early 2026 on the Redmoor tungsten-tin-copper deposit (W-Sn-Cu) in Cornwall, we have looked carefully at our numbers for Strategic Minerals and updated our fair value to 14.9p per share (from 4.8p per share). Redmoor is a highimpact project and is one of the highest grade tungsten resources globally with valuable contributions from other critical metals such as tin, copper and silver. The 2025 drilling showed the resource was larger than previously expected and had more to offer in the way of potential orebody extensions, additional mineralised zones (e.g. the North Tin zone) and indications that the deposit is zoned in a way that will help with mine scheduling. Strategic is now embarking on its Prefeasibility Study (PFS) drilling to convert part of the resource to the Indicated resource category in support of a more meaningful economic evaluation; we are confident that the deposit has the makings of a future mine. To summarise the investment case for Strategic Minerals we see: a high-grade project in an area that understands mining; mining for a series of high-value minerals in a robust price environment, and at a time when funding is available to break the stranglehold of Chinese primary supply. We expect a continuous stream of positive news flow from the drilling campaign and the PFS programme.
