Metals One's sleeper Peru stake offers free gold and copper optionality

Metals One PLC (AIM:MET1, FRA:HT7, OTCQB:MTOPF), the critical and precious metals developer, has been one of the busier companies on AIM in 2026, yet a quiet stake in a Canadian-listed gold explorer may represent its most asymmetric opportunity. The company's shares are up 27% over the past week after it expanded an agreement with DISA Technologies to evaluate and treat abandoned uranium mine waste at its Uravan Belt project in Colorado, a deal that requires no capital or operating expenditure from Metals One.
