Weak Cash GenerationSustained negative operating and free cash flow materially increases dependence on external capital to fund exploration and development. Over months, continued cash burn can curtail project timelines, force dilutive financing, or require asset monetization to maintain operations.

Ongoing Losses Erode Equity RunwayPersistent negative returns and recurring losses threaten the equity base over time. Even with low debt, continued erosion of shareholders' equity pressures fundraising terms, may force dilution or asset sales, and weakens negotiating leverage for project financing.
