Base metals generated US$14.1 million, up 166% and accounting for almost three-quarters of the second-quarter total. Voisey’s Bay delivered 196 tonnes of attributable cobalt, compared with 84 tonnes a year earlier, lifting net contribution to US$10.0 million from US$2.7 million. "Q2 was a strong quarter, with the producing critical minerals portfolio continuing to demonstrate its cash generation potential," said chief executive Marc Bishop Lafleche. Net debt fell to US$74.9 million at the end of June from US$84.4 million three months earlier and US$124.6 million a year ago.
