First-pass take

Gold exploration company with zero AI exposure. Mbe delivers promising 1.23Moz resource (exceeding 1Moz milestone) but company is pre-revenue, loss-making (£0.65m in 2025), and entirely commodity/licensing-dependent. Net cash (£2.5m) provides runway but exploration risk is material.
