First-pass take

Pre-revenue exploration company with accelerating losses and material going-concern uncertainty. No AI exposure; purely commodity-focused (iron ore, silver, PGMs). While Hancock iron ore project projects strong development economics (133% IRR, A$146m NPV10), company is exploratory-stage with no operational leverage. Net debt and cyclical commodity exposure provide minimal downside protection.
