Minimal Or No RevenueThe company is largely pre-revenue, meaning long-term value depends on successful conversion of resources to production or sale. Absence of operating revenue elevates execution risk, makes cash runway dependent on financing or asset dispositions, and delays self-sustaining cash generation.
Persistent Negative Cash FlowChronic negative operating and free cash flow forces dependence on external capital to fund operations and development. This increases likelihood of dilutive equity raises or costly debt, compresses strategic optionality, and can delay or derail project schedules if financing is constrained.
Rising Leverage And Negative ROEIncreasing leverage raises fixed servicing obligations and financial vulnerability to cost or commodity shocks. Combined with negative returns on equity, it signals the capital base is not producing profits, limiting ability to attract lower‑cost financing and constraining long-term project investment capacity.
