Pre-revenue OperationsBeing pre-revenue means core operations do not generate sales, so project progress depends on external financing. Over the coming months this structural gap forces capital raises or partner deals, which can dilute equity and slow resource advancement if funding conditions tighten.
Negative Operating And Free Cash FlowSustained negative operating and free cash flow means the company is consuming capital to fund exploration. This structural cash burn requires ongoing financing, limiting self-funding ability and increasing reliance on equity issuances or partner funding, affecting long-term project timelines.
Earnings Volatility And Inconsistent ReturnsSharp swings in reported results and negative trailing returns make forecasting and partner negotiations harder, raising perceived execution risk. Over months, this inconsistency can hinder strategic deals and elevate investor scrutiny when trying to secure sustained funding or development commitments.
