â–²(0.00% Upside)
The score is primarily constrained by weak financial performance—persistent losses and sustained negative operating/free cash flow—despite the benefit of a low-debt balance sheet. With limited technical data and an unhelpful valuation signal (negative P/E with no dividend information), there are few offsets to the fundamental cash-burn risk.
Positive Factors
Low Debt Levels
A low-debt balance sheet enhances financial stability, reducing the risk of financial distress and providing flexibility for future investments.
Strategic Expansion in Rare Earth Elements
Expanding into rare earth elements positions the company strategically in a high-demand sector, potentially benefiting from government support and market growth.
Advanced Exploration Techniques
Utilizing advanced exploration techniques can enhance project evaluation, leading to more efficient resource identification and potential development opportunities.
Negative Factors
Consistent Negative Cash Flow
Persistent negative cash flow indicates ongoing cash burn, necessitating external funding and potentially limiting self-sustained growth.
Volatile Revenue and Profitability
Volatile revenue and weak profitability undermine financial predictability and may hinder long-term strategic planning and investment.
Equity Value Erosion
Ongoing losses reduce shareholder equity, potentially impacting investor confidence and limiting future capital-raising capabilities.

Magnum Mining and Exploration Limited Business Overview & Revenue Model

Company DescriptionMagnum Mining and Exploration Limited engages in the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties. The company owns a 74% interest in the Gravelotte emerald project located in the Limpopo province of South Africa. It has an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Buena Vista iron ore project located in Nevada, United States. The company was incorporated in 1986 and is based in Sydney, Australia.
How the Company Makes MoneyMagnum Mining and Exploration Limited makes money through the exploration and development of mineral resource projects, particularly iron ore and other base metals. The company generates revenue by discovering, extracting, and selling these minerals to global markets. Additionally, Magnum may form strategic partnerships or joint ventures with other mining companies to enhance its exploration and production capabilities. Revenue streams are primarily dependent on the successful identification and exploitation of mineral deposits, market demand, and commodity prices. The company's financial performance is also influenced by operational efficiencies and its ability to manage exploration and development costs effectively.

Magnum Mining and Exploration Limited Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Overall financial quality is weak: revenue is highly volatile, profitability remains negative with recurring losses, and operating/free cash flow are consistently negative (ongoing cash burn). The main offset is a relatively strong, low-debt balance sheet that reduces near-term refinancing risk, but continued losses are eroding equity value.
Income Statement
18
Very Negative
Revenue is highly volatile and uneven (large swings year-to-year), and profitability remains weak with recurring losses across all reported periods. While 2024 revenue rebounded sharply versus 2023, the company still generated a deeply negative net margin and negative operating profitability, indicating the cost base remains far above the current revenue scale. Strength: revenue can spike meaningfully in some years; weakness: the business has not demonstrated sustainable earnings power.
Balance Sheet
62
Positive
The balance sheet is a relative strength: debt is minimal to zero in most years, and leverage is low when debt is present, reducing refinancing risk. However, equity returns are consistently negative due to ongoing losses, and total equity has come under pressure versus prior years, reflecting value erosion. Strength: conservative leverage; weakness: persistent losses continue to weigh on shareholder value.
Cash Flow
22
Negative
Cash generation is weak, with operating cash flow negative in every reported year and free cash flow also consistently negative, implying ongoing cash burn. Free cash flow has not stabilized and remains meaningfully below zero in recent years, increasing dependence on external funding or asset sales over time. Strength: cash burn is sometimes lower than net loss (cash outflow not worsening as fast as accounting losses); weakness: no demonstrated ability to self-fund operations.

Magnum Ramps Up Rare Earth Drilling at Brazilian Palmares and Azimuth Projects
Jan 5, 2026

Magnum Mining and Exploration has resumed drilling at its Palmares and Azimuth rare earth projects in Brazil following a planned shutdown, reporting that both programs remain under budget and are ramping up in early 2026. At the Feirinha prospect within Palmares, the company has completed 15 shallow reverse circulation holes (225 metres) as part of a 143-hole program aimed at defining near-surface REE mineralisation that could underpin a low-cost discovery, with 24-hour drilling by two crews expected to accelerate progress and initial assay results due by the end of January. Previous trench and rock sampling at Feirinha has indicated high-grade TREO values, including elevated terbium and dysprosium, reinforcing its strategic potential in a market where China dominates supply. At Azimuth’s Piracanjuba prospect, 13 auger holes totalling 155 metres have been drilled, with deeper holes targeting clay-rich horizons associated with REE mineralisation, assays now with the laboratory, and a second auger rig set to speed up the campaign under the guidance of Magnum’s in-country manager and major shareholder Antonio Vitor, potentially strengthening the company’s position in Brazil’s emerging rare earth sector.
