Capital Base Scale-upA materially larger equity base (~$1.15B) provides durable funding capacity to advance the McIlvenna Bay development through permitting, engineering and early construction phases. This reduces near-term dilution pressure and improves ability to absorb development costs before production.
Moderate Reported LeverageReported debt-to-equity near 0.37 indicates moderate leverage on paper, giving management structural flexibility to raise incremental capital without extreme gearing. This cushioning supports continued project investment and lessens immediate solvency stress during multi-quarter development timelines.
Flagship Polymetallic AssetOwning the McIlvenna Bay polymetallic project in a known mining district provides lasting strategic optionality across multiple metals. A flagship, district-scale development asset underpins long-term value creation potential if the project is advanced to production, supporting durable investor interest.
