First-pass take

Development-stage rutile-graphite miner backed by Rio Tinto (19.9%, A$60M invested), with strong OPFS economics (27% IRR). Graphite anode material relevant to battery supply chains but not explicitly positioned as AI play. Pre-revenue status, commodity exposure, and single-project concentration limit upside.
