First-pass take

Pure commodity mining play with zero AI beneficiary tailwinds. Karaberd mine (Armenia) transitioning to underground higher-grade production late-2026; processing facility completed March 2025 after disruption. Loss-making, negative cash, dependent on financing. Gold/silver price strength (3x since 2018) but commodity-driven, not AI-enabled. Geopolitical concentration in Armenia.
