@FulcrumMetals has boosted #gold recovery from around 59% to over 70%, now also recovering #silver, using a zero-cyanide, zero-waste process with six-hour leach times. Recent drilling has lifted gold-equivalent grades by 8% to 0.7 g/t, supporting a mineral resource estimate expected in early 2026.
#FMET has quietly been reshaping its story: moving from a conventional explorer to a technology‑led developer focused on recovering gold and critical minerals from historic tailings. Recent test results, shareholder activity and a tightening register have put the company on the map. Here’s what matters and why this transition could be significant for the company and the wider mining sector.
Why the pivot to tailings matters:
Tailings projects tap previously mined material rather than digging new pits. That has three immediate advantages:
🔹Lower environmental footprint — using existing material reduces disturbance and can avoid new land clearances.
🔹Faster access to ounces — infrastructure and mineral concentrations are already known, which shortens timelines.
🔹Opportunity to recover multiple metals — tailings often contain not only gold but also silver and critical elements that were not recovered economically in the past.
The market has noticed the progress. Share price momentum pushed the company near one‑year highs and produced notable insider and institutional activity. Several TR1 filings showed increases from investors including @metals_one_plc, Nick Nugent and @IanBagnall1, amounting to just over 26% combined. Directors retain roughly 19% of the register, tightening ownership and aligning incentives.
At the time of reporting, the stock was up about 30.51% year‑to‑date with a market capitalisation of around £11.09m. That performance suggests growing investor appetite for technology‑driven, lower‑impact resource plays.
