Financial highlights

  • Q3 2025 net loss was $184.5 million ($0.46/share), up from $20.5 million ($0.06/share) in Q3 2024, driven by non-cash royalty liability increases, warrant costs, and higher G&A expenses.

  • Exploration and evaluation expenses decreased to $9.6M from $11.8M year-over-year; G&A expenses rose to $45.7M from $8.1M, mainly due to $35M in share-based compensation.

  • Free cash flow for Q3 2025 was -$11.5M, down from -$5.9M in Q3 2024; total assets at September 30, 2025, were $175.6M, with total liabilities of $216.2M.

Outlook and guidance

  • U.S. regulatory process changes may accelerate permitting, but Q4 2027 production start remains on track regardless.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
