First-pass take

Pre-production tungsten mine with zero AI exposure; strategic collaboration with fusion energy company is tangential (tungsten's role in clean energy, not AI). Going-concern warning, minimal revenue (£626k from legacy materials), substantial cash burn (£25m in FY2023), dependent on permits and additional funding.
