First-pass take

Early-stage critical minerals explorer with material going concern uncertainty. Indirectly benefits from critical minerals demand (uranium, lithium, REEs), but AI is not explicit in strategy. Pre-revenue: £580k loss in 2024, negative net worth of £325k; forecast cash shortfall of £473k over next 12 months despite £307k post-year-end fundraise.
