CoTec Holdings Reports $7.6M Q2 Loss While Advancing HyProMag USA and Lac Jeannine Studies

CoTec Holdings reported a net loss of $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, driven largely by non-cash accounting provisions, finance expenses and equity-method joint venture losses. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the net loss reached $10.3 million.
The quarterly financial filing details ongoing operational progress across CoTec’s portfolio. At the HyProMag USA joint venture, where CoTec holds a 60.3% interest, the company has taken occupation of the approximately 125,000-square-foot Texas Hub facility at Ironhead Commerce Center in Denton County, Texas. Procurement has started for critical-path long-lead equipment, including HPMS vessels and finishing machinery, supporting a target for commercial production in the second half of 2027.
“CoTec continues to make strong progress in the roll out of its operations. At HyProMag USA, we have taken occupation of the Texas-based leased property that will house Plant 1 and CoTec has commenced the ordering of the long lead equipment, a reflection of our confidence in the future success of the project. We are making continued progress in securing feedstock and offtake for HyProMag USA and will announce further details in due course.”
