Financial highlights
Q3 2025 net loss was $184.5 million ($0.46/share), up from $20.5 million ($0.06/share) in Q3 2024, driven by non-cash royalty liability increases, warrant costs, and higher G&A expenses.
Cash balance was $115.6M at September 30, 2025, rising to $165M post-quarter from warrant and stock option exercises.
Exploration and evaluation expenses decreased to $9.6M from $11.8M year-over-year; G&A expenses rose to $45.7M from $8.1M, mainly due to $35M in share-based compensation.
Significant non-cash items included a $131M increase in royalty liability and $38.1M in warrant costs for Nauru and Tonga sponsorships.
Free cash flow for Q3 2025 was -$11.5M, down from -$5.9M in Q3 2024; total assets at September 30, 2025, were $175.6M, with total liabilities of $216.2M.
Outlook and guidance
Targeting commercial production in Q4 2027, with regulatory and technical milestones aligned to this timeline.
Management anticipates sufficient liquidity for at least the next 12 months, but additional financing will be required for commercialization.
U.S. regulatory process changes may accelerate permitting, but Q4 2027 production start remains on track regardless.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
