No Revenue BaseAbsence of any revenue leaves the business dependent on capital markets for funding and provides no internal margin cushion. Over 2–6 months this structural lack of top-line cash generation constrains strategic optionality, prevents reinvestment from operations, and elevates execution risk.
Heavy Cash BurnSustained negative operating and free cash flow at multi-million-dollar levels creates an ongoing need for external financing. Structurally, this shortens runway, raises dilution risk, and limits ability to scale exploration programs or respond to opportunities without immediate capital raises within the coming months.
Shrinking Shareholders' EquityRapid erosion of equity indicates cumulative losses and reduces the company’s balance-sheet buffer. This structural weakening heightens dependence on fresh capital, increases potential dilution for existing holders, and constrains larger strategic moves or partner investments over the medium term.
