First-pass take

Early-stage Mongolian oil producer (production from October 2024 only) with no AI exposure; operating leverage potential in oil undermined by capital intensity and execution setbacks (Heron-2 underperformed expectations). Weak cash position ($1.987m), high operating burn ($9.8m in 2024), single customer concentration (PetroChina), dependent on continued equity dilution.
