Pre-revenue OperationsOperating without revenue means all activity is financed rather than self-funded; this structural state keeps the company dependent on external capital until a commercial resource or sale is realized. The lack of revenue elevates execution and financing risk over the medium term.
Persistent Negative Cash FlowChronic negative operating and free cash flow necessitate repeated capital raises, increasing dilution risk and creating dependency on market conditions. Until cash flow turns positive, project timelines and exploration continuity can be constrained if funding becomes less available.
Negative Returns On Equity And Unprofitable OperationsPersistent losses producing negative ROE indicate shareholder capital is not generating returns. For an exploration-stage miner, this underscores the structural risk that resource discovery or value realization may be distant, leaving profitability uncertain over the next several months.
