Persistent Cash BurnSustained negative operating and free cash flow requires ongoing external funding to progress exploration. Repeated cash burn increases dilution risk and can delay or constrain drilling and resource definition programs if capital markets tighten, impacting asset advancement timelines.
No Meaningful Revenue; Loss-makingLack of a revenue base and sizable recurring losses mean the company cannot self-fund operations or demonstrate operating scalability. Until a sale, JV or a discovery converts to production, profitability remains uncertain and contingent on successful exploration outcomes.
Equity Erosion & Negative Returns On EquityPersistent negative ROE and declining equity indicate value erosion for shareholders. Even with low debt, continued losses will necessitate capital raises or asset dilution, reducing per-share value and limiting strategic flexibility for larger funding or partner consolidation.
