Equity Base / Funding FlexibilityA materially larger equity base provides multi-month funding flexibility for exploration and studies without immediate reliance on dilutive financing. For a development-stage miner, this equity cushion supports advancing projects, underwriting permitting/economic studies, and negotiating JV terms over the medium term.
Moderate LeverageA moderate debt-to-equity ratio implies manageable leverage for a development-stage company, keeping interest burden and refinancing pressure lower than highly geared peers. This structural balance supports runway extension and preserves optionality to raise project financing or partner with strategic investors over the coming months.
