Strong Balance Sheet / Very Low LeverageExtremely low debt and minimal leverage materially reduce solvency and refinancing risk for a pre-production explorer. This financial flexibility supports sustained exploration, permits larger JV/farm-out negotiations and allows the company to endure commodity cycles without urgent debt maturities.
Clear Project Monetisation ModelA defined set of monetisation pathways (equity funding, farm-outs/JVs/royalties, or selling production) gives strategic optionality. This reduces single-path execution risk, enabling the company to select non-dilutive structures or partner with larger developers as projects advance.
Improving Free Cash Flow TrendA material improvement in free cash flow year-over-year, even if still negative, signals progress in cash discipline or project advancement. Narrowing the funding gap reduces near-term capital needs and strengthens the company’s negotiating position with partners and financiers.
