Low Leverage / Strong Balance SheetVery low leverage and a materially larger equity base give the company durable financial flexibility. That reduces near-term refinancing risk, supports continued funding of exploration programs from equity or asset-backed options, and improves resilience to commodity cycles over the next 2–6 months.
Improving Cash Burn TrendOperating cash outflows have meaningfully narrowed year-over-year, indicating better cost control or more efficient program execution. Continued reduction in cash burn extends runway, lowers immediate capital raise pressure, and makes the exploration program more sustainable over a multi-month horizon.
Improving Return MetricsAn improving ROE, while still negative, signals the company is reducing value erosion and moving toward better capital efficiency. If trends continue, this suggests management execution is improving and reduces structural downside risk compared with prior periods over the coming 2–6 months.
