First-pass take

Magnetite mining company with zero strategic AI exposure; recent profitability entirely dependent on return of single Cobre major customer (200% 2024 revenue surge but material going-concern uncertainty if customer doesn't renew orders). Development assets (Redmoor tungsten-tin, Leigh Creek copper) are 5+ years from production and pre-revenue.
