Low LeverageA very low debt load materially reduces insolvency and interest-rate risk and preserves financial flexibility. For a pre-revenue industrial-minerals developer, minimal leverage lowers fixed obligations, making it easier to manage cash burn and to negotiate future funding on better terms.
Improving Free Cash Flow TrendA 38% improvement in free cash flow, even from a negative base, signals operational or cost-efficiency progress. Sustained improvement would reduce funding frequency and dilution risk, lengthening runway and increasing the chance management can reach revenue-generating milestones.
Positive Equity BufferMaintaining a multi-million dollar equity base provides a tangible capital buffer to absorb continued pre-revenue losses. This retained capital can support project development and operations over the medium term, enabling execution of strategic plans without immediate dilution.
