Persistent Negative Operating Cash FlowContinuous negative operating cash flow across multiple years indicates structural cash burn inherent to exploration activity. This creates ongoing funding requirements, increases dilution risk from capital raises, and constrains the company’s ability to self-fund project advancement without external capital.

This erosion weakens the balance-sheet buffer against shocks and can limit returns for existing shareholders if future projects must be funded externally.
