Pre-Revenue Operating ProfileAbsence of operating revenue means the business cannot self-fund exploration or operating costs, extending reliance on external capital. Over months this raises execution risk for programs and delays any transition to revenue-generating stages critical for sustainable operations.
Persistent Negative Cash FlowConsistently negative operating and free cash flow forces repeated financing or asset sales to sustain exploration. This ongoing cash burn increases dilution risk, constrains program scale, and limits the company's ability to capitalize on new opportunities over the medium term.
Negative Returns And Widening LossesNegative ROE and widening operating losses erode the equity base and reduce financial flexibility. Over a 2–6 month horizon, sustained losses can diminish shareholder value, increase funding needs, and limit the firm's capacity to advance targets without dilutive financing.
