Snapshot

  • FCF TTM of -45.2M with capex of 47.8M (29% of revenue) signals heavy mine development phase burning cash despite positive EBITDA of 11.8M[Free Cash Flow TTM]
  • P/S ratio of 6.3x vs industry median 6.1x while operating at -9.4% margin - market pricing in future production, not current profitability[Price to Sales Ratio]
  • Debt/equity of 0.26 with 51.2M cash provides runway, but 127.7M total debt vs -45M FCF requires monitoring[Debt to Equity]

Watch Triggers

  • Free Cash Flow TTM: Turns positive or cash burn accelerates beyond -50MCurrent runway is ~14 months; FCF inflection signals development phase ending
  • Gross Margin TTM: Rises above 25% or falls below 15%18.3% margin vs 27.3% industry median indicates cost or grade issues
  • Shares Outstanding: Increases beyond 60M (currently 54.2M)Dilution is primary funding risk given negative FCF
