Price Target:
AU$1.50
▲(27.12% Upside)
The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (deep losses and accelerating cash burn, with rising debt risk). Technicals are a key offset with strong upward momentum and price above major moving averages, though overbought signals temper the outlook. Valuation is also constrained by negative earnings and no dividend support.
Positive Factors
Balance Sheet Strength
A meaningful equity base and only moderate leverage provide durable financial flexibility for a junior explorer. This supports ongoing resource definition drilling and technical studies without immediate insolvency risk, improving runway to advance projects or secure JV funding over the next several months.
Revenue Rebound
A clear year-over-year revenue rebound indicates improving commercial traction or project progress rather than monotonic decline. If sustained and paired with cost control, this trend can translate into scaling operations and a path toward narrowing losses, materially improving the company's funding profile over 2-6 months.
Focused Gold Exploration Model
A concentrated business model focused on gold exploration/development creates operational clarity and levered upside from any successful resource discovery. Specialization can improve capital allocation to high-probability drill targets and attract partner/joint-venture capital in a sector with persistent structural demand for gold assets.
Negative Factors
Sustained Unprofitability
Persistent gross and operating losses erode shareholder equity and indicate the business is not yet generating scalable margins. Over several months this undermines internal funding capacity, raises the likelihood of dilutive capital raises, and makes it harder to attract low-cost external financing needed to advance development milestones.
Accelerating Cash Burn
Consistent negative operating and free cash flows with accelerating cash burn create a structural funding gap. This forces reliance on external capital or asset sales to continue exploration work, increases dilution risk, and can delay or curtail drilling and technical programs that are critical to creating long-term value.
Rising Debt Risk
A recent step-up in debt when the company remains loss-making increases fixed obligations and reduces strategic flexibility. Higher leverage raises interest and covenant risk, making the firm more vulnerable to funding shocks and potentially forcing unfavorable financings or asset disposals that impair long-term project value creation.

How the Company Makes Money

Larvotto Resources Limited Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Overall financials are weak: the company remains deeply unprofitable with a gross loss and large operating/net losses, and cash flow is consistently negative with accelerating burn. The balance sheet is a relative bright spot with a meaningful equity base and modest leverage, but rising debt alongside widening losses increases funding and execution risk.
Income Statement
18
Very Negative
Revenue is volatile (2022 was much higher, then fell sharply in 2023 before rebounding in 2024), but the company remains deeply unprofitable. In 2024 the business generated a gross loss and very large operating and net losses, with net margin worsening versus prior years, indicating costs are far out of line with the current revenue base. The key positive is the strong year-over-year revenue rebound in 2024, but it is not yet translating into improving profitability.
Balance Sheet
56
Neutral
The balance sheet shows a meaningful equity base and moderate leverage in 2024 (debt is modest relative to equity), which provides some financial flexibility. However, returns on equity are materially negative, reflecting ongoing losses and weak value creation. A notable risk is the step-up in debt from prior years (which had no debt), increasing financial pressure if losses persist.
Cash Flow
24
Negative
Cash generation is weak, with operating cash flow and free cash flow negative across all years shown and cash burn accelerating in 2024 versus 2023. While free cash flow tracks net losses closely (cash burn broadly consistent with reported losses), there is no evidence yet of a turn toward self-funding operations. The main strength is the consistency between earnings losses and cash outflow (limited sign of earnings being overstated by non-cash items), but the magnitude of ongoing burn is a clear concern.

Larvotto Advances Hillgrove Restart and Broadens Critical Minerals Growth Pipeline
Jan 18, 2026

Larvotto Resources has reported steady operational progress across its Australian project portfolio, led by the Hillgrove antimony-gold project where processing plant refurbishment remains on budget and on schedule, underground development and site rehabilitation are under way, and workforce build-up is continuing ahead of a planned restart of production in mid-2026. At the Eyre project in Western Australia, the company has completed metallurgical aircore drilling to collect rare earth element samples, with testwork now in progress to evaluate processing and recovery options, while at Mt Isa it is advancing due diligence on the proposed Blockade Copper Mine acquisition and has finished over 4,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling with assay results pending; collectively these initiatives are intended to position Larvotto as a near-term antimony producer with additional growth leverage to copper and rare earths amid supportive commodity prices and government backing for critical minerals.
