AU$0.02
▲(60.00% Upside)
The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (recurring losses and persistent negative operating/free cash flow), with no dividend support and an unhelpful negative P/E. Technicals provide the main offset, showing moderately positive momentum versus key longer-term moving averages, though short-term overbought signals add risk.
Positive Factors
Low leverage / conservative balance sheet
Near-zero debt materially reduces solvency and interest burden, giving the company financial flexibility to fund exploration or operations through equity or internal resources. This durable strength lowers short-term insolvency risk and supports strategic optionality during prolonged cash burn periods.
Equity base has grown
An expanding equity base strengthens the balance sheet and provides a larger capital buffer against operating losses, enabling the company to sustain investments and operational programs longer without immediate solvency pressure. It also reduces near-term refinancing urgency.
Positive gross profit and improving FCF trend
A positive gross margin plus year-on-year improvement in free cash flow indicate the business can generate product-level profit and is moving toward better cash dynamics. If sustained, this trend supports a durable path to break-even and reduced external funding needs over months.
Negative Factors
Recurring net losses
Persistent annual losses and irregular or zero reported revenue signal a structural inability to generate stable top-line income. Over the medium term this erodes shareholder capital, increases reliance on financing, and threatens long-term viability unless revenues become consistently positive.
Chronic negative operating and free cash flow
Ongoing operating and free cash flow deficits create sustained cash burn, forcing dependence on external funding (equity or debt). This structural cash weakness limits reinvestment capacity, raises dilution or refinancing risk, and constrains the company's ability to scale operations over months.
Structurally negative profitability and weak ROE
Consistent negative margins and negative ROE indicate shareholder capital is not producing returns and may be eroded over time. This fundamental profitability weakness undermines long-term investor confidence and increases the likelihood of dilution or strategic restructuring if deficits persist.

Rimfire Pacific Mining Limited Business Overview & Revenue Model

Company DescriptionRimfire Pacific Mining Limited engages in the exploration and evaluation of mineral deposits in Australia. The company explores for gold, copper, platinum group elements, cobalt, lead, nickel, zinc, and silver deposits. It primarily holds interests in the contiguous tenement package spanning of 915 square kilometers within the East Lachlan Fold Belt of New South Wales. The company was incorporated in 1988 and is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia.
How the Company Makes MoneyRimfire Pacific Mining Limited makes money primarily through the exploration and potential development of mineral resources. Its revenue model is focused on identifying commercially viable mineral deposits and advancing these projects to attract investment or potential sale to larger mining companies. The company's key revenue streams include securing exploration licenses and partnerships that provide funding for exploration activities. Rimfire may also enter into joint ventures or strategic partnerships with other mining companies to share exploration costs and benefit from combined expertise, which can lead to future royalty or profit-sharing arrangements if the projects proceed to production. While the company does not generate revenue from production at its current stage, its business model is based on the potential future monetization of discovered mineral resources.

Rimfire Pacific Mining Limited Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Overall financial quality is weak: recurring net losses, inconsistent revenue (including zero-revenue years), and persistently negative operating and free cash flow imply ongoing cash burn and funding dependence. The main offset is a low-debt balance sheet with meaningful equity, which reduces near-term leverage/solvency risk.
Income Statement
9
Very Negative
Performance is weak and volatile. Revenue is inconsistent (zero in multiple years, then modest revenue in 2025) and the latest annual period shows a sharp revenue decline versus the prior year. Profitability is structurally negative: EBIT and net income are losses every year provided, with very large losses in 2025 alongside deeply negative margins. A positive note is that reported gross profit is positive in 2025, but operating costs overwhelm it, keeping the company firmly loss-making.
Balance Sheet
62
Positive
The balance sheet looks relatively conservative on leverage. Total debt is effectively zero in recent years and debt-to-equity is near zero across the history, reducing financial risk. Equity has grown over time, supporting the asset base. The key weakness is ongoing losses, reflected in persistently negative return on equity, which suggests shareholder capital is not generating profits and could erode if losses continue.
Cash Flow
18
Very Negative
Cash generation is a major concern. Operating cash flow is negative in every year shown, and free cash flow is also consistently negative, indicating ongoing cash burn. While free cash flow shows improvement in 2025 versus 2024 (positive growth) and free cash flow has at times been less negative than net income, the company still requires funding to sustain operations and investment until it reaches a more durable revenue base.

Rimfire Advances Scandium Resource Growth and Unveils New Gold–Antimony Zone
Jan 29, 2026

Rimfire Pacific Mining’s December 2025 quarter saw completion of major scandium-focused drilling programs at the Murga Exploration Target, part of the Fifield Earn-In Project, and its 100%-owned Rabbit Trap project, with initial Murga assays delivering broad scandium intercepts that will feed into the company’s first mineral resource estimate for Murga and potentially expand its existing scandium resource inventory at Fifield. In parallel, the company defined a 600-metre gold–antimony zone at the Windy Ridge prospect within its 100%-owned Broken Hill Base Metals Project and secured management committee approval and funding preparations for a Murga metallurgical study, developments that together strengthen Rimfire’s pipeline of critical and precious metals projects and align it with increased policy and market focus on minerals such as scandium and antimony.

Rimfire’s Murga Drilling Delivers Broad Scandium Hits as Resource Push Intensifies
Jan 26, 2026

Rimfire Pacific Mining has reported the first assay results from its late‑2025 air core drilling campaign at the Murga Exploration Target in NSW’s Fifield District, delivering multiple broad scandium intercepts across shallow laterite and saprolite zones. The program, comprising 86 holes over 2,384 metres, has so far returned significant scandium grades over intervals of up to 45 metres, and the company expects remaining assays by mid‑February 2026 and aims to publish a maiden Murga mineral resource estimate by the end of the March 2026 quarter. Successful conversion of Murga from an exploration target into a defined mineral resource would materially expand Rimfire’s existing scandium resource base of 5,449 tonnes of scandium (8,333 tonnes scandium oxide) at Fifield, strengthening its status in Australia’s scandium ‘hotspot’ and underpinning further technical work, including planned metallurgical testing of the Murga mineralisation.

Rimfire Uncovers Significant Gold–Antimony Target at Broken Hill’s Windy Ridge Prospect
Jan 18, 2026

Rimfire Pacific Mining has identified a significant new gold–antimony opportunity at its 100%-owned Broken Hill Base Metal Project, with historic work at the Windy Ridge prospect outlining a 2.5km gold corridor and a 600m mineralised zone that remains open down dip. Historic drilling from 40 years ago, now reassessed with an antimony focus, has returned broad intervals of gold with associated antimony, rock chip samples up to 37 g/t gold, and coincident geophysical anomalies, prompting Rimfire to evaluate commercial options for Windy Ridge and the wider Broken Hill project, including further self-funded exploration, a partnership, or divestment, as it seeks to leverage both its scandium portfolio and this emerging critical minerals opportunity in the context of rising policy support for strategic minerals such as antimony.
