Declining Revenues And LossesReported declining revenue growth and persistent negative net margin reflect ongoing profitability shortfalls. These trends reduce the company's ability to self-fund project development, erode potential investor returns and indicate operational or market challenges that can persist without structural change.
Sharp Free Cash Flow ContractionFree cash flow contracted sharply (-60.47%), restricting internal funding capacity for project advancement and increasing reliance on external capital. For a pre-production developer this weakens the financial buffer, raises dilution risk and lengthens timelines for delivery.

Execution, permitting and funding requirements are structural risks that can delay production, increase capital raising needs and impact long-term value realization.
