Mark Lefleche, CEO of Ecora Resources, delivers a strategic update at the 2025 Rule Symposium, detailing the company's shift from coal royalties to critical battery metals. With a $220M market cap and $20M in free cash flow last year, Ecora is leveraging its royalty model to capitalize on the electrification megatrend.

Lefleche highlights the transformation of Ecora's revenue mix, with copper, cobalt, and uranium now contributing over 50%—a figure expected to rise to 70% by 2030. Flagship assets like Mantos Blancos, Santo Domingo, and Four Mile are set to drive significant future cash flow without additional capital deployment.

Backed by a lean team with 70+ years of royalty expertise, Ecora's scalable model offers broad exposure to high-growth commodities. With strong insider ownership and a robust pipeline of copper and cobalt projects, the company is positioned as a leading diversified royalty platform for the energy transition.
