Historic Earnings And Cash-flow VolatilityPrior multi-year swings between losses and strong profits highlight structural volatility. This reduces predictability of earnings and investment returns, complicates long-term planning for capex or dividends, and makes the company sensitive to operational hiccups and commodity cycles.
Concentrated Revenue Exposure To Gold SalesRevenue is reliant solely on produced and sold gold with no hedges, offtakes or material third-party recurring revenues. This concentration amplifies cash-flow sensitivity to spot gold moves and production timing, leaving limited structural protection against price shocks.
Operational Sensitivity To Mining VariablesProfitability depends on ore grade, recoveries, throughput and costs—variables that can shift materially and persist for months. Such operational exposure is a lasting risk for miners: small changes in grades or recoveries can materially alter margins and free cash flow.
